Before You Start
Before you unpack and start using your FieldGo PCATX-R9 workstation,
please take a few minutes to read these first few pages to prevent problems
from arising due to shipping damages, missing items, or possible misuse of
your workstation.
Important Safety Instructions
Read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the workstation
safely and effectively:
w Use your workstation on a stable surface.
w Before making any hardware installation, make sure both the system
and the external devices are turned OFF. Disconnect the power cord
from the workstation. Sudden surges of power could damage sensitive
components.

Important:
Always verify that your portable
power supply voltage matches
your local AC supply voltage. Most
systems are shipped with an auto-
sensing power supply that switches
automatically to your AC supply
voltage. A non-autosensing power
supply comes with a two position
switch that sets the power supply
for 115V or 230V AC input
voltage. Be sure to select the
correct AC input voltage if you
have a non-autosensing type
power supply.
