Use and care of the handheld
The device’s rugged design allows you to run your device in harsh outdoor environments. Here are some
considerations that will help you protect your device and get the most out of it when working in very wet,
hot or cold conditions.
l The handheld is rated IP67 but is not completely waterproof. IPx7 is defined as resistant to
submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. However, do not unnecessarily
immerse the handheld in water.
CAUTION – Make sure all sure the protective port covers are appropriately fitted to any external
ports, and that they are not damaged; if any protective port covers are missing or damaged in any
way, the IPx7 rating is compromised and the device is not water-resistant.
l The device is designed to resist damage for drops up to 4 ft (1.22 meters). However, the device
should not be dropped unnecessarily or subjected to any strong impact. Check the fit of the SIM
card, storage card, and battery after a drop.
l Protect the handheld from extreme temperatures. For example, do not leave the handheld on the
dashboard of a vehicle.
l Temperature range: The operational temperature range is from-20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to +131 °F).
Although the device is designed to be rugged, do not leave it in direct sunlight in excessive heat or in
a vehicle in the sunlight for extended periods as the internal temperature may exceed the operating
or storage temperature limits, especially while charging the battery.
Batteries perform best at room temperature. The battery has a stable capacity as temperatures
rise; however, the colder the temperature, the greater the reduction in available battery capacity.
Under very cold conditions (-20°C / -4 °F and below), the battery capacity is noticeably reduced. To
improve the battery performance in very cold conditions, consider increasing the load on the
battery, such as by adjusting the backlight to full brightness. Increasing the battery load causes the
battery to generate heat, thus warming the battery and improving the performance.
l Protect the display from impact, pressure, or abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it.
Use your finger (or a capacitive stylus*), and avoid using excessive pressure and sharp or abrasive
objects. To protect the touch screen from pressure and abrasive objects, apply a screen protector;
one is shipped with the device, and you can purchase additional screen protectors if required. The
use of ballpoint pens, nails or other sharp objects to operate the touchscreen will scratch and/or
damage the device.
*NOTE - The display will work with a capacitive stylus; however Spectra Geospatial does not provide
a stylus accessory for this device.
l Do not use abrasive cleaners directly on the display. Doing so may void your warranty.
