rugged daily usage by personnel in the trucking industry. However, there are certain
precautions that you should take to ensure that your Journeyman-1 works properly for you
throughout the years.
• Do not let it come into contact with liquids for a long period of time. If it should
come into contact with a liquid, wipe it dry as soon as possible.
