Maintaining Your SPT 1550 Terminal
Introduction
This chapter provides information to help you take proper care of your SPT 1550 terminal
and prolong battery life. It also discusses how to reset your SPT 1550 terminal.
Caring for Your SPT 1550 Terminal
Your SPT 1550 terminal is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free
service. However, you should observe the following tips when using your SPT 1550
terminal:
• Do not scratch the screen of your SPT 1550. When working with your SPT 1550,
use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-
sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil or other sharp metallic object on
the surface of the SPT 1550 screen.
• Do not expose your SPT 1550 to rain or moisture. In general, treat your SPT 1550
as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of your SPT 1550 contains glass. Do not drop your SPT
1550 or subject it to any strong impact.
• Protect your SPT 1550 from temperature extremes. Do not leave your SPT 1550
on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heat sources.
• Do not store or use your SPT 1550 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean your SPT 1550. If the surface of the SPT 1550 screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol).
Battery Considerations
Please note the following considerations if you’re using the rechargeable NiMH battery in
your SPT 1550 terminal:
• Under normal conditions, your SPT 1550 terminal battery should provide
approximately 8 hours of use before the battery requires recharge. You can
conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight feature, and selecting
the “Auto-off after” setting that automatically turns the SPT 1550 terminal off after
a period of inactivity (Refer to
General Preferences on page 10-10).
