¾ Every time you update your data make backup copies on an ex-
ternal storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability
for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no claims can
be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or for
consequential damages.

¾ If you do not have the necessary qualifications, ensure that this
is done by a suitably qualified Service Engineer. Please contact
our Service Center if you encounter technical problems with
your Pocket PC.
¾ In the event repair becomes necessary, please use only our

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
¾ Keep your Pocket PC and all connected devices away from mois-
ture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.
¾ Make sure you protect your Pocket PC from getting wet, e.g.
from rain and hail, at all times. Please pay attention that
moisture can even build up in a protective pouch because of
condensation.
¾ Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for
example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.
¾ Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for ex-
ample when braking. Install the device as vertically as possible.
