2. Setup

Site requirements

The terminal can be installed in any normal office or controlled factory environment. However, do not use the terminal under the following conditions:

 extremely high or low temperature

[operating temperature range: 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F)] [storage temperature range: -20° to 60° C (-4° to 140° F)]

 extremely high or low humidity

[operating humidity range : 0 to 90% RH non-condensing]

 areas of high dust concentration  areas with chemical fume concentration  areas with extreme vibration or when placed on an unstable or

unlevel surface
