Caution
Always put the Field PG down on its base. If you put it down on its interface side
you risk that it will fall over and damage sensitive internal components.
Moisture ingress can damage the PG.
If you transport the device in cold weather and if it is exposed to extreme tempera-
ture fluctuation you have to acclimatize it to room temperature before you start to
operate it.
Do not switch on the device until inside condensation has dried off completely.
This is the case, for example, with a temperature rise from -20
°
C to + 20
°
C and
after a waiting period of approx. 12 hours.
!
Warning
The computer casing is made of magnesium. Contact with an external open fire
source bears the risk of fire / spreading fire.
