Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet Owner’s Manual
Storage, Maintenance, and Recycling
Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain
and recycle the Mesa 3.
Storing the Mesa 3 and Battery Pack
When the tablet is not being charged and is in a sleep state,
it draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to
maintain the memory (RAM) of the tablet in the same state it
was in when it was awake. We recommend charging the tablet
each night or weekend when it is in a sleep state.
If the Mesa 3 is not charged while in a sleep state and the
battery reaches a low charge, it automatically hibernates to
prevent further drain on the battery.
Note: Data and programs are secure as long as they have
been saved, even if the battery pack becomes discharged.
The tablet does not depend on the battery to store the data
for extended periods.
Storing the Mesa 3 for More than Two Weeks
To store the tablet for two weeks or more, complete the
following steps:
1. Charge the battery pack 30 to 50 percent.
2. Close all running programs, and turn off the tablet.
3. Remove the battery pack.
4. If you have an internal battery pack, press and hold the
power button for 20 seconds to disconnect it.
5. Place the battery pack in a cool, dry location.
6. The AC wall charger must be plugged in and
connected to the Mesa 3 in order to turn it on after
storage.
Protecting the Touchscreen
Protect the touchscreen from impact, pressure, or abrasive
substances that could damage it. To further protect the
touchscreen, apply a screen protector (optional accessory)
using the directions that come with it in the package.
CAUTION: Be sure to replace the screen protector as often
as the screen protector instructions recommend.
