SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this section carefully and follow all the
instructions given. This will help ensure reliable opera-
tion and extend the service life for your Pocket PC.
Store the packaging and the operating instructions in
a safe place so that if you sell the Pocket PC you can
pass these on to the new owner.
Never allow children to play with electrical
equipment unsupervised. Children may not al-
ways correctly recognize possible danger.
Never open up the housing of the Pocket PC
or the power adapter. These contain no user-
serviceable parts. If the housing is opened there
is a danger to life from electric shock.
Do not place any objects on the Pocket PC and
do not exert any pressure on the display. Other-
wise there is a danger that the screen will break.
To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with
sharp objects. Use only the stylus provided.
There is a risk of injury if the display breaks.
If this should occur, use protective gloves to
pack the broken parts and contact customer
support to arrange for disposal. Then wash your
hands with soap, since there is a possibility that
chemicals may have escaped.

Safety and Maintenance 3
Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the
Pocket PC off immediately, or do not actually switch
it on, and contact Customer Service...
... if the power adapter or the attached plug
become scorched or damaged.
... if the housing of the Pocket PC, the Power
Pack or the charging/synchronizing cradle be-
comes damaged or fluids leak into it. Compo-
nents must be checked by Customer Service in
order to avoid damage!
DATA SECURITY
Every time you update your data make backup
copies on an external storage medium. The
supplier does not assume liability for data loss
or damage to data storage units, and no claims
can be accepted for damages resulting from
the loss of data or for consequential damages.
UPGRADING/RETROFITTING AND REPAIR
Upgrading or retrofitting of your Pocket PC must
only be performed by qualified technical staff.
If you do not have the necessary qualifications,
ensure that this is done by a suitably qualified
Service Engineer. Please contact our Service

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Keep your Pocket PC and all connected devices
away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and
direct sunlight. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may lead to damage to your Pocket PC.
The Pocket PC and its packaging are recyclable.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The Pocket PC is most reliably operated at an
ambient temperature of between 41°F and 95°F
(5°C and 35°C) and at a relative humidity of be-
tween 20% and 80% (non-condensing).
In the powered down state (power supply: OFF,
see page 16) the Pocket PC can be stored at
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
The GPS receiver is designed for the envi-
ronmental conditions inside a car. However,
store the Pocket PC in a safe location when you
leave your car to avoid high temperatures.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
When connecting additional or other compo-
nents the “Electromagnetic Compatibility Direc-
tive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please also
note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft)
should be used with this Pocket PC.
For optimal performance, maintain a distance
of at least 10 ft. from sources of high-
frequency and magnetic interference (televi-
sions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones
and so on. This will help avoid malfunctions
and loss of data.

Safety and Maintenance 5
CONNECTION
When connecting your Pocket PC be sure to correctly
observe the following instructions:
POWER SUPPLY
The outlet must be in the vicinity of the Pocket
PC and must be easily accessible.
Only use the mains adapter on grounded sockets
at 100 – 240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are unsure
about the power supply to the place of use, ask
the relevant energy supplier.
Use only the power adapter provided with
the reference PSC 05R-050.
For additional safety, we recommend the use of a
surge protector in order to protect your Pocket
PC from damage from spikes or lighting strikes
on the power network.
POWER THROUGH CAR ADAPTER
The car adapter should only be connected to
the lighter socket of a car (car battery = DC
12V , no trucks!). If you are in any doubt
about the power source in your car, contact
your car manufacturer.
CABLING
Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them
or trip over them.
Do not place any items on the cable.

BATTERY OPERATION
Your Pocket PC is operated with a removable battery. In
order to prolong the life and efficiency of your battery and
to ensure safe operation, follow the instructions below:
Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid the
Pocket PC and the integrated battery becoming
overheated. Failure to comply with this instruc-
tion may lead to damage to and even explosion
of the battery.
Use only the original power pack to charge the
battery (model PSC 05R-050).
Batteries are special category waste. When dis-
posing of the Pocket PC ensure that this is
done correctly. Contact Customer Service for
more details.
MAINTENANCE
ÂWarning: There are no user-serviceable or
cleanable parts inside the Pocket PC housing.
You can prolong the life of the Pocket PC by taking the
following simple steps:
Always remove the power plug and all connecting
cables before cleaning.
Clean the Pocket PC only with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not use solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaners.
CARE OF THE DISPLAY
Avoid scratching the display surface as this is ea-
sily damaged.
Ensure that no traces of water remain on the
screen. Water can cause irreversible discoloration.
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen.
Do not expose the screen to either strong sun-
light or ultraviolet radiation.

Safety and Maintenance 7
TRANSPORT
If you wish to transport the Pocket PC follow the in-
structions below:
Following transport of the Pocket PC wait until
the unit has acclimatized before using it.
In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or
humidity condensation or moisture may form in-
side the Pocket PC and this can cause an electri-
cal short-circuit.
Use a protective cover (such as a display protec-
tion mylar)to protect the Pocket PC from dirt,
moisture, shock and scratching.
When shipping your Pocket PC use only the origi-
nal packaging and advise the carrier accordingly.
Before traveling ensure that you are aware of the
power and communications provision at your
destination. Before traveling obtain any power or
communications adapters (modem, LAN, etc.)
that may be needed.
When passing through the hand luggage control
at airports, it is recommended that you pass the
Pocket PC and all magnetic storage media (ex-
ternal hard drives) through the X-ray system
(the machine on which you place your bags).
Avoid the magnetic detector (the structure
through which you yourself pass) or the mag-
netic wand (the hand device that the security
staff use), since this may corrupt your data.
