Compare version numbers to see if you have current les.
Apply a Screen Protector
Before using the Mesa, apply a screen protector to the surface
of the touchscreen to protect it and make it scratch-proof.
Screen protectors are included with the Mesa. Refer to the
installation instructions in the package for specic details.
1. Clean the screen with the dust-free cloth. Compressed air
can be used to blow o any remaining dust. Note: Do not
use paper towels or a cleaning solution on the touchscreen.
2. Aach the screen protector as instructed.

3. Use the installation card to push air bubbles out (it may
take a few days for air bubbles to get worked out).
4. Never use sharp objects to adjust or remove the screen
protector.
Charge the Battery Pack(s)
Install and charge the Li-Ion baery pack(s). The Mesa is
designed to use 1 or 2 baery packs. Using two baery packs
extends the operating time of the unit. Geo 3G models should
always use two baery packs.
Complete the following steps:
1. The baery compartments are located on the back of the
Mesa. Loosen the quarter turn latches holding the baery
compartment door(s) in place using a coin or similar object
(loosen them enough to slightly li the door, making it
easier to grab). Remove the door(s).
Note: If you are using one baery, for the best ergonomics we
recommend you use baery compartment #1 on the boom
designated for baery 1 as shown in the following graphic.
