7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES Maintenance Preserving Data Viruses can corrupt files; files can be inadvertently deleted; and hard-disk drives can fail after extended used. To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data files on the hard-disk drive. If you lose the contents of your hard-disk drive, you can reinstall programs, but your data files will be lost if you don’t have a backup. We recommend you back up the hard-disk drive at least once a week, with a daily backup of those files that have been changed.
7 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES Touchscreen/Chemical Compatibility The touchscreen has a polyester surface. The following list is provided to make you aware of the general compatibility between chemicals that may be present in your work environment and the polyester surface of the touchscreen. Use the chart to determine those chemicals that are safe to use around your Panel Computer and those that may harm the touchscreen. The list rates these chemicals as E—Excellent, G—Good, F—Fair, and N—Not Recommended.
