The

CF-28

was

developed

based

on

thorough

research

into

the

real-world

portable

computing

environments.

Exhaustive

pur¬

suit

of

usability

and

reliability

under

harsh

conditions

led

to

innovations

such

has

and

floppy

disk

drive,

flexible

internal

connections.

The

CF-28's

outstanding

engineering

has

been

tested

using

the

stiff

Ml

L-STD-

810E

(for

vibration

and

shock)

and

IP

(for

dust

and

water)

based

procedures.

As

with

any

portable

tor,

and

any

option

or

accessory

you

use

with

it.

Even

low

heat,

if

warmer

than

body

temperature,

can

cause

a

bum,

if

the

Once

the

allowable

range

requirement

is

satisfied,

charging

begins

automatically.

Note

that

the

recharging

time

varies

based

on

the

usage

conditions.

(Recharging

takes

longer

than

usual

when

the

temperature

is

10

°C

{50

•

If

the

temperature

is

low,

the

is

shortened.

Only

use

the

computer

within

the

allowable

temperature

range.

•

This

computer

has

a

high

is

enabled

in

the
