Caring for your companion
Your companion is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide
years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips
when using your companion:
Take care not to scratch the screen of your companion. Keep the
screen clean. When working with your companion, 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 companion screen.
Your companion 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
companion as you would a pocket calculator or other small
electronic instrument.
The touch-sensitive screen of your companion contains a glass
element. Take care not to drop your companion or subject it to any
strong impact. Do not carry your companion in your back pocket:
if you sit on it, the glass may break.
Protect your companion from temperature extremes. Do not leave
your companion 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 companion in any location that is
extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your companion. If the surface of
the companion screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
