Caring for the Unit and PowerBoot Module 

Cleaning the unit and PowerBoot Module 

Clean with a soft cloth dampened with either water or a diluted mild 
detergent. Solvents and harsh cleaning agents will quickly damage 
impact-resistant plastics in the case and battery. 

Do not use any 

chemical cleaners or put the unit in the dishwasher. 

Care of the touchscreen 

Use only the included stylus or other devices specifically designed 
for use with touchscreens. The use of ballpoint pens, nails or other 
sharp objects to operate the touchscreen will scratch and/or damage 
the unit. Abrasives may scratch touchscreens. Keep the touchscreen 
clean by gently wiping the display, using a soft cloth dampened 
either with clean water or glass cleaner. 

Do not apply any cleaner 

directly to the display.

 

Do not use any abrasive cleaners. 

Use the screen protectors included with the unit to keep the 
touchscreen clean and protected. To apply a screen protector, first 
clean the display thoroughly. Peel the backing from the screen 
protector. Align the edge, and then drop the remainder onto the 
display. Use a credit card, if necessary, to squeeze the air from 
underneath the screen protector. 

Mechanical shock 

The unit is designed to resist damage for drops up to 1.22 meters 
(4.0 ft). However, you should protect the display from impact, 
pressure, or abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The 
unit should not be dropped unnecessarily

.

 

Case Vent Hole 

The unit uses a GoreTex membrane at the 
vent hole under the battery to equalize the 
atmospheric pressure within the unit and to 
prevent dust, water, etc. from entering. This 
vent 

must 

remain clear of any obstruction. 

Damage to the touchscreen will occur if the vent is covered. 
Covering the vent with stickers and labels may void the warranty.
