Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended
temperature is between 0
°
C (32
°
F) and 50
°
C (122
°
F). (Actual operating
temperature depends on product specifications.)
Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in
product deterioration and a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the Tablet
PC on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by
dropping or hitting may damage the Tablet PC.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For
example, do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the
Tablet PC.
As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away
from objects that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the Tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical
appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV,
refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place.
A temperature difference of more than 10
°
C (18
°
F) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
