O
RIENTATION
Except where noted, the CLIO unit being worked on should be placed on a flat level work
surface. The unit should be upside-down with the hinge arms facing you (modem port on the
left). For the purposes of this chapter, the term ‘standard orientation’ will be used.

RESERVATION
Where possible, always link the CLIO unit being worked on to a host PC and backup the
CLIO data to the host PC before performing any service on the CLIO unit. This may be done
using a serial connection between CLIO’s serial port and a free COM port on the host PC.
Use Microsoft Windows CE Services on the host PC to establish the connection and
partnership between the host PC and the CLIO. Refer to either the printed or on-line help or
instructions that come with the Microsoft Windows CE Services software. Once a partnership
is established, synchronize all data on the CLIO to the host PC.
WARNING: ALWAYS SYNCHRONIZE A CLIO UNIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
SERVICE ON THE UNIT. FAILURE TO DO COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF A
CUSTOMER’S DATA.
NOTE:
Depending on the reason for working on any particular CLIO unit, it may not always
be possible to backup data (if any) stored on the CLIO unit. Additionally, a prior malfunction
may already have resulted in data loss on the CLIO unit being serviced. Should it be
impossible to preserve data stored on the CLIO unit, document the reasons for this as part of
any established service write-up procedure.

OMPONENTS
CLIO is designed to be a sturdy unit, however it is composed of numerous components,
some of which are small, fragile, or both. To protect these components from damage, always
observe the following universal precautions:
When disassembling a CLIO unit, always be sure to store all parts in such a manner that
they will not be lost, confused with identical parts from a different CLIO unit, and where
they will not be subject to environmental stress from temperature, humidity, spills, etc.
Reminders appear throughout the parts removal procedures to ‘store in a secure
location’.
Always service CLIO on a flat level work surface.
Ensure that no components are exposed to excessive heat, cold, humidity, smoke, dust,
spills, or chemicals.
Always follow electrostatic protection protocols when servicing CLIO. These include:
♦
Having a clean, properly grounded anti-static mat on your work surface at all times.
♦
Wearing an appropriately grounded anti-static wrist strap when servicing CLIO.
