1.2 User and Product Safety
x Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
x Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel
could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken,
never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
x Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance,
avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds
the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.
x Use only the original approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved AC
Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the
user.
x Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or
accessories gets damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair, warranty is void.
In case the warranty seals are broken, warranty is void too.
x Make regularly back-ups of all important data.
x Under no circumstance will Opticon be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or
incidental damages aging out of the use or inability to use both the hardware and software

object (like wire).
x Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.
x Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, strike the battery pack with a hammer,
step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts, shocks or excessive
force.
x Do not solder onto the battery pack.
x Do not expose battery pack to liquid or allow the battery contacts to get wet.
x Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and
protection measures, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
x Do not discharge the batteries outside the H-15 series PDT. Do not use the battery in
another device then the PDT or CRD-15 series cradles. Otherwise, the battery pack can be
damaged, or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to flow, it
may cause the battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

2.4.3 Calibration of the touch Screen
On the initial boot-up of the PDT, the stylus
calibration screen opens. Use the stylus to press
and hold briefly on the center of each target as it
around moves the screen.
If necessary, adjust the backlight on the PDT to
make the screen readable (see chapter 2.4.4
Adjusting the brightness).
When you experience that the touch screen
function is poor or the operation does not match
the exact location it should be, please recalibrate the
screen by using the stylus to tap the Start > Settings
> Control Panel > Stylus, to open the “Calibration”
to recalibrate again.
