The CF-30 was developed based on thorough research into
the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive
pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led
to innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibra-
tion damped hard disk drive and
fl
oppy disk drive,
fl
exible
internal connections. The CF-30’s outstanding engineering
has been tested using the strict MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration
and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be
taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and han-
dling procedures are recommended.
Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any
moisture.

etc. may cause a defect in the insulation, which may result in
a
fi
re.
Pull the plug, and wipe it with a dry cloth.
Pull the plug if the computer is not being used for a long
period of time.
Insert the AC Plug Completely
If the plug is not inserted completely,
fi
re due to overheating

ing in an injury.
Do Not Leave the Computer in High Temperature Envi-
ronment Such as in a Sun-Heated Car, for a Long Period
of Time
Leaving the computer where it will be exposed to extremely
high temperatures such as in a sun-heated car or in direct
sunlight may deform the cabinet and/or cause trouble in the
internal parts. Continued use in such a resulting condition
may lead to short-circuiting or insulation defects, etc. which
may in turn lead to a
fi
re or electric shocks.
Hold the Plug When Unplugging the AC Cord
Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, resulting in a
fi
re
