Caring for your Zodiac
Your Zodiac is a delicate portable electronic device and it should be handled
with the same care you give to other delicate devices such as a digital camera,
cell phone, etc. Please observe the following recommendations:
•
If your handheld’s case gets a little soiled, clean it with a damp cloth.
Do
not
wash or submerge your handheld in any liquid.
•
Do
not
subject your handheld to unnecessary environmental stresses,
including:
– Dropping your handheld
– Stepping on your handheld
– Sitting on your handheld
– Getting your handheld wet
– Using your handheld in sand storms
– Operating your handheld in extremely cold or hot temperatures
•
As with any other electronic device, try not to subject your handheld to
unnecessary static electricity. Static electricity in any electronic device
can prematurely destroy that device. Your handheld is designed to
tolerate a given amount of static electricity. Here are some suggestions
to minimize damage from static electricity:
– Before you pick up your handheld, discharge yourself of static
charges by touching any large surface (preferably metal).
– If you are using the optional cradle, discharge yourself of static
charges by touching any large surface (preferably metal) prior to
placing your handheld in the cradle. This is especially important in
very dry environments where static charges can easily accumulate.
