Maintaining Your WorkPad
This chapter provides information to help you take
proper care of your IBM WorkPad and prolong
battery life. It also discusses how to reset your
WorkPad.
Caring for Your WorkPad
Your WorkPad is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide
years of trouble-free service. However, you should observe the
following general tips when using your WorkPad:
■
Take care not to scratch the screen of your WorkPad. When
working with your WorkPad, use the supplied stylus or plastic-
tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never
use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of
the WorkPad screen.
■
Your WorkPad is not waterproof and should not be exposed to
rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the
circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your
WorkPad as you would a pocket calculator or other small
electronic instrument.
■
The touch-sensitive screen of your WorkPad contains a glass
element. Take care not to drop your WorkPad or subject it to any
strong impact. Do not carry your WorkPad in your back pocket: if
you sit on it, the glass may break.
■
Protect your WorkPad from temperature extremes. Do not leave
your WorkPad on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it
away from heaters and other heat sources.
■
Do not store or use your WorkPad in any location that is extremely
dusty, damp or wet.
■
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your WorkPad. If the surface of the
WorkPad screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
