recommends that you apply one of the screen protectors provided with the
GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld.
• Protect the touch screen by using your finger or the stylus provided, and avoid
using excessive pressure and sharp or abrasive objects.
• Keep the outer surface free of dirt and dust.
• Ensure that protective covers and doors are appropriately fitted to the external
antenna port, SIM, and storage card areas, so that they are kept free from dirt,
dust, fluid ingress & electrostatic discharge (see Storage cards, page 35).
