Workplace
A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air
circulation. Remember to avoid areas from:
zSudden or extreme changes in temperature.
zExtreme heat.
zStrong electromagnetic fields (near television set, motor rotation area,
etc.).
zDust or high humidity.
If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain
your computer by cleaning dust, water, and etc. to keep it in an optimal
condition.
Environmental Ratings-
Operating Temperature: 0 ~ +40 ºC (DB6-I)/ -20 ~ +50 ºC (DB6-M)
Operating Altitude: 0 ~ 4,572 meters
Operating Humidity: Up to 95%

Ruggedness
The computer is designed with rugged features such as vibration, shock, dust,
and rain/ water protection. However, it is still necessary to provide
appropriate protection while operating in harsh environments.
Since the handheld computer is passed MIL-STD-810G for the temperature,
vibration, shock, humidity and salt fog tests, and IP55 (I Model) or IP65 (M
model) for dust and water resistant tests, the handheld computer is therefore
a fully-rugged one.
