• Do not use an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the
computer.
• Do not push on the LCD screen excessively or subject it to shocks.
• Do not expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight, even through a
window.
• Do not hold the computer by the LCD panel.
• Do not try to force the LCD screen beyond its fully opened position.
CAUTION : In the rare event that you should see or smell anything
which indicates overheating (smoke or a strange smell), turn off the
power immediately and contact your dealer.
Mounting Stiffness Test
The FaroArm is portable and can be mounted in a variety of
environments. The FaroArm is counterbalanced, and it is the nature of
counterbalancing that restoring forces may exist in the mounting due to
the applied forces generated by the counterbalancing mechanism. The
reaction forces will result in deformations in the mounting, which
degrade the performance of the FaroArm if the deformations are
sufficiently large.
The primary forces encountered due to counterbalancing are translation
and torsion. These forces are illustrated below. The forces can be further
described along or about the three major axes of a coordinate system at
the mounting base. The translation forces (F) along the axes and the
moments (M) about the axes result in deformations of the base.
The deformation due to the translation force can be measured. You must
apply forces (lb. or N) using a calibrated load cell at the mounting
interface to the maximum level required and measure the associated
deformation (in. or mm). The torsional forces or moments at the base
are generated by using a calibrated torque wrench. The deformations
can be described as a slope (in./in. or mm/mm) and can be measured.
