Please read this booklet before using the machine
This booklet does not replace the full manual for the tablet computer part of your device or the software. It provides a quick guide
for what you should know to get the best from your system.
Warranty
Grid Pad devices are covered under the standard warranty for 2 years.
General care of Grid Pad devices
Make sure that hard objects cannot press against the screen.
Cleaning
The touchscreen should be cleaned using a clean microfibre cloth.
To minimise the risk of infection, the machine should also be cleaned with a detergent wipe.
Optionally, this can be followed with an alcohol-based wipe AFTER cleaning with the detergent wipe.
The machine should not be immersed in water, or cleaned with a wet cloth, gels, polishes or any abrasive cleaning product.
Protection
Avoid exposure to water, including heavy rain. The screen seal will protect it against moisture, but the device is not designed to be
waterproof.
Avoid dropping your Grid Pad. The machines are sufficiently robust for normal use, but are not designed to be stood on or dropped
from a height.
Repairs
Do not attempt to open the Grid Pad Go, as there are no user serviceable parts inside. If you want to discuss a repair please contact
your local reseller.
