Do’s

Do keep dirt away from connectors. Ensure that the rubber
connector covers are in place.

Do store the unit and replacement batteries in an area free from
dust, moisture, and vibration.

Do allow about 6 hours for charging a main battery. More time
is needed if the TeamPad 500 is in use during charging.

Do charge a main battery before use if it has been in storage
for a long time.

Do dispose of expended lithium ion main batteries (when they
can no longer be recharged) according to local regulations.

Do ensure that the charge connections on the unit are clean or
the unit may not recharge adequately.

Do calibrate the display whenever you change the RAM disk
size.

Do see the TeamPad 500 Systems User’s Guide for
instructions on calibrating the touch panel.

Don’ts

Don’t use the backlight unless you need it. Using the backlight
drains the battery more quickly.

Don’t press the reset switch unless necessary. The reset switch
clears all memory and reboots the unit.
