USER LEAFLET

USING YOUR FS/2
The FS/2 hand-held computer is rugged and
waterproof, but to help ensure trouble-free operation,
we recommend that you:
● Check how to use your application before
beginning work.
● Carry a spare set of batteries
● Avoid subjecting your FS/2 to:
● unnecessary temperature extremes - bright
sunlight in a vehicle, for example
● prolonged immersion in water
● physical mistreatment
The FS/2 leaves the factory fitted with
non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries and is ready for
use. Note: If you fit new rechargeable batteries
instead, you must charge the FS/2 before use; please
refer to BATTERIES.
