3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
MODAT-532A may result in permanent damage to the MODAT-532A
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MODAT-532A. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the MODAT-532A is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the MODAT-532A, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
MODAT-532A.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the MODAT-532A, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the MODAT-532A, make sure the power is
off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the MODAT-532A, to
Page 14
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.
MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector

B Safety Precautions

Page 58
MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the MODAT-532A.

B.1 Safety Precautions

Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:

B.1.1 General Safety Precautions

Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
MODAT-532A is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
whenever the MODAT-532A is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the MODAT-532A chassis is opened when the
MODAT-532A is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
MODAT-532A.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the MODA T-532A,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
MODAT-532A vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the MODAT-532A against a hard surface. o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel. o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature
Page 59

B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
MODAT-532A may result in permanent damage to the MODAT-532A
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MODAT-532A. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the MODAT-532A is opened and any of the electrical components
are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.

MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector

B.1.3 Product Disposal

CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union–If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union–The device that produces less waste and is
easier to recycle is classified as electronic device in terms of the European
Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), and must not be disposed of as domestic
garbage.
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.

B.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions

When maintaining or cleaning the MODAT-532A, please follow the guidelines below.
Page 61

B.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning

Prior to cleaning any part or component of the MODAT-532A, please read the details
below.
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior of the MODAT-532A does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the MODAT-532A interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the
MODAT-532A.
Turn the MODAT-532A off before cleaning the MODAT-532A.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the MODAT-532A.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
MODAT-532A Mobile Data Collector
when cleaning the MODAT-532A.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the MODAT-532A.

B.2.2 Cleaning Tools

Some components in the MODAT-532A may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the MODAT-532A.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the MODAT-532A.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the MODAT-532A.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
MODAT-532A as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning the MODAT-532A. Dust and dirt can
restrict the airflow in the MODAT-532A and cause its circuitry to corrode.
Page 62
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
