Using the Field PC in

extreme temperatures

The Field PC operates in ranges from -22° F to 122° F (-30°

C to 50° C). To help your device function properly, store the

device indoors when possible.

Other tips:

• If the Field PC is exposed to temperatures below 14°F

(-10°C ), the device may slow down or the display

backlight may become dim to reduce the load on the

battery power.

• Extremely low or high temperatures may prevent the

battery pack from charging. Charge the battery pack

in temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0° C and 40°

C). For best results, charge the battery pack at room

temperature (68°F or 20°C)
