stylus.
• Use the dedicated stylus only for touching the display. Using it for any other purpose may damage the
dedicated stylus and result in scratches on the display.
• Confirm the safety and security of software before downloading or installing it on the product. Installing
malware or viruses can cause malfunction and the disclosure of any private information stored in the

interference.
• Keep the product away from magnets. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
• When using the product in a vehicle, it may affect electronic devices in the vehicle depending on the
vehicle type. Confirm the effects from radio waves with the vehicle manufacturer or sales dealer before
use.
• Follow these instructions and this manual to avoid any damage to the devices. Carefully read the
instruction manuals of the peripheral devices.
– Use peripheral devices that conform to the product’s specifications.
– Connect to the connectors in the correct direction.
– If a connector is hard to insert, do not try forcibly. Check its shape, direction, alignment of pins, etc.
• The product and accessories are not waterproof or dustproof. Keep them away from liquids such as
water. Also, do not use them in places with high humidity, or a lot of sand or dust.
• Make sure to close the interface cover, battery cover, and printer cover before use. Always keep the
covers clean and check that they are completely closed after opening them so that liquids, sand, dust,
and other foreign objects do not get inside. Take care so that foreign objects do not get caught between
the product and covers.
• Condensation may form when moving from a cold place to a warm place. If condensation forms, refrain
from using the product until the moisture evaporates.
• The product uses internal batteries to backup important operational data. If the internal batteries are
consumed and the operational data is lost, the product may fail to operate.
To reduce consumption of the internal batteries, do not remove the battery pack from the product as
much as possible. Also charge the battery pack before the battery level gets low.
Protecting your data
• To prevent accidental loss of data, we recommend that you regularly back up any important data that
you store in the product, SIM card, and SD card.
4 Operating Instructions - Reference Manual
Introduction
• To prevent the unintended disclosure of private information, always confirm the destination before
sending messages, file attachments, or any other communications, such as email.
• To prevent the unintended disclosure of sensitive information stored in the product or the SD card, we
recommend using the product’s encryption feature (page XX).
• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a third party, remove the SIM card, SD
card, and any other accessories.
• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a third party, perform a factory data reset
(page XX) to erase any data stored in the product.
• Before using WLAN or Bluetooth features, take appropriate action to secure your data.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the product, make sure to turn it off.
• When cleaning the product, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. An alcohol-based disinfectant may be used if
necessary.
– If the product is particularly dirty, thoroughly wring a cloth soaked in water, wipe off the dirt, and then
wipe with a dry cloth.
– Do not clean the product with solvents such as benzene, thinner, or strong alkaline detergent because
they may affect the surface of the product.
• If the product has difficulties reading magnetic or smart cards, clean the card readers with cleaning
cards.
Battery
• The battery is a consumable item. Depending on the usage conditions, it may swell as it reaches the
end of its life. When the typical battery life of approximately one year or about 500 charge cycles is
exceeded, the battery deteriorates. If the battery begins to swell, or the amount of time it can be used
after a full charge becomes dramatically shorter, the battery should be replaced with a new one. Contact
your technical support representative.
• Do not touch the terminals of the battery. Failure to observe this may cause poor contact.
• When the battery is left installed in the product, it discharges electricity gradually in small amounts even
if the product’s power is off. If left for a long period (several months or more), the battery will over
discharge and its performance may deteriorate.
• Store the battery in environments with an ambient temperature of -20 °C to 35 °C (-4 °F to 95 °F). If the
battery is stored in other environments, battery performance and battery life may be reduced.
• When storing or transporting the battery, make sure that the battery’s terminals do not become dirty and
that no foreign objects or debris become attached to the battery’s terminals.
• If battery charging is not completed after the specified charging time has passed, remove the battery
from the product. The battery protection device may be damaged.
• You cannot charge an installed battery if it is not recognized by the product. Make sure that you use the
specified battery.
• Dispose properly in compliance with local waste regulations.
Inputting a password (give this information to customers)
• Observe the following to prevent leakage and malicious use of the password.
– Make sure customers input the password.
– Customers should hold the product in hand during input.
– Customers should use their hands or body to hide the password from people nearby and security
cameras.
• To prevent password input mistakes, customers should confirm the input sounds and screen display
during input.
