Looking after your fex21
Your Itronix fex21 computer is rugged and water-resistant. However, we
recommend the following precautions to ensure that your fex21 will give you many
years of reliable service.
Avoid unnecessarily subjecting the unit to extreme temperatures, such as bright
sunlight in a vehicle.
Avoid leaving it in extremely damp or dusty conditions.
Do not use hard or sharp objects to touch the display screen. In order to
provide the best display clarity, the fex21 uses a glass touch panel (display
screen). The screen is well protected against falls onto flat surfaces, but can still
be damaged if it is directly struck or scratched by a hard object.
Avoid dropping your fex21 or subjecting it to severe impacts.
Do not use hard or sharp objects to touch the display screen, only use the pen
supplied with your fex21.
Do not apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
If you carry your fex21 in your briefcase or with other items, make sure the
display screen is protected against scratching and other damage.
Use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
NEVER use solvents of any kind on the case, the keyboard or the display screen.
Cleaning your fex21
If the screen of your Itronix fex21 should become dirty, clean it with a dry, clean
cloth. If the computer gets very dirty, clean it as follows:
Make sure the battery is correctly fitted. If you have dropped your fex21, check
that the case is intact.
Wipe the fex21 case and screen with a damp cloth.
To remove stubborn deposits, use a soft bristle brush. TREAT THE SCREEN
AND KEYBOARD GENTLY.
Blow any water out of the connectors, then leave the computer to drain and
air-dry. DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 50°C (122°F).
Polish the screen with a clean dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use organic solvents or harsh detergents, as they may
damage the case and screen.
