There are specific power requirements for your handheld computer:
Only use an approved AC adapter designed for this handheld computer.
There is a 3-prong grounded plug for the AC adapter. The 3rd prong is an important
mechanism for ensuring product safety. Please do not neglect the importance of this
mechanism. If you are unable to access a compatible outlet, please hire a qualified
electrician to install a compatible outlet for you.
When unplugging the AC power cord, please make sure to disconnect the cord by
pulling from the plug head instead of pulling from the wire to prevent wire damage.
Make sure the power outlet and any other extension cord(s) you use can support the
total current load of all the connected devices.
Before cleaning the handheld computer, please make sure it is disconnected from any
external power source.
