2.7 Packaging
The packaging material has been selected to protect your device while simultaneously offer-
ing the best possible ecological compatibility. We therefore kindly request that you store the
original packaging material or ensure it is used for another suitable purpose such as trans-
porting the unit or returning shipment.
2.8 Putting Your 8580/8590 in Operation
2.8.1 Cooling Through Unobstructed Air Circulation
The 8580/8590 employs a passive cooling concept whereby the waste heat generated inside
the device is emitted from the surface of the housing. To ensure that this cooling system
functions properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required. Never install the system in a
closed environment where accumulated heat cannot be dissipated.
2.8.2 Pin Configuration
This section describes the pin configuration for all 8580/8590 plug-in connectors.
Important: If you repack the device, please ensure that the cling wrap in the card-
board frame is positioned over the front display of the device to provide
proper protection.
Important: If the 8580/8590 does not have access to fresh cooling air, the unit may
overheat, severely damaging the computer. It is important to take into
account the ambient temperature of the area in which the vehicle-mount
is used.
