Storage guidelines:
• If you have a spare PowerBoot Module that is not in use, do
not store it in a place where temperatures exceed room
temperature for long periods (like the glove box of a vehicle in
warm climates). Long-term storage at very warm temperatures
(over +35°C / +95°F) will reduce service life and will
accelerate the normally very slow loss of charge capacity.
• For prolonged storage situations, store the PowerBoot Module
at approximately 50% charge level.
• Do not store the PowerBoot Module with loose metal parts
(like keys in your pocket) that might short the terminals. This
could result in high currents and dangerously high
temperatures.
Environmental Considerations
The unit’s rugged design allows you to run your Pocket PC
applications in harsh outdoor environments. Here are some
considerations that will help you get the most out of your unit when
working in very wet, hot or cold conditions.
Water
This handheld computer is designed to withstand accidental
immersion. To maintain the unit’s water resistant seal, it is
important to ensure that the CF-Cap is correctly oriented with the
stylus holder facing the front of the unit, and that the screw on the
CF-Cap is tightened but not over-tightened. Failure to reattach the
CF-Cap screw could cause leakage and will void your warranty.
Because the PowerBoot Module is designed to easily disconnect
from the unit, water can occasionally find its way onto the metal
contacts between the battery and the unit. After working in very wet
conditions remove the battery and check the contacts to see if they
are wet. If so, dry the contacts on both the unit and the battery with
a tissue, paper towel or clean cloth before storing the unit for
overnight or longer.
