up a new SolidPad LR7 device.
This document is intended for use by qualified personnel to compliment the training and expertise,
not to replace it.
Conventions
Bolded or underlined text is used to emphasize the designated information.
A Note is used to provide additional information for the device or settings.
A Caution is used to warn against potential hazards or to caution against unsafe practices.
A Warning is used to identify immediate hazards for property damage, injury or death.
1
Basic Safety Guidelines
The followingsafety guidelines are intended to help protect the user from injury and prevent
damage to the hardware.
n Do not place anything on the AC adapters power cable and make sure the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
n Do not cover the AC adaptor as it reduces the cooling
n Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside the carrying case.
n Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use with the device.
Use of another type of battery orAC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.
n If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of
all products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the
extension cable.
n If the device is moved between environments with very different temperature and/ or humidity
ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. Avoid damaging the device by
allowing sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
n When disconnecting cables, pull on the connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the
cable itself. When pulling out or plugging in the connector, keep it evenly aligned to prevent
bending the connector pins.
Intended Use
The SolidPad LR7 rugged tablet is equipped with multi-functionalterminals for stationary and
mobile applications in industrial environments such as logistics, warehousing, fleetmanagement,
manufacturing and the automotive industry.
Read the safety guidelines thoroughly before starting any servicing on the device. Read the
guidelines before powering up the device, and keep this document for later use.
The operator is solely responsible for any damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the
device.
UnintendedApplication Use
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety/security systems where
system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator is
fully responsible for using the device in these situations.
Maintenance and Operation Overview
The SolidPad LR7 is designed and manufactured according to strict controls and following the
stated safety regulations. The following list identifies incorrect operating uses of the SolidPad
LR7. Incorrect use of the SolidPad LR7 can lead to hardware damage, safety issues and
possible risk to personnel health:
n The SolidPad LR7 is under operation by untrained personnel;
n The SolidPad LR7 is not maintained as recommended;
n The SolidPad LR7 is not used as intended.
2
Safety
Toprevent injury and damage, read th e following safety guidelines prior to operating the
device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages arising from misuse or
noncompliance with these guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
Cleaning/Servicing: Power Off the SolidPad LR7
n Disconnect the SolidPad LR7 from power before cleaning or servicing it.
Power Adapter
Contact an authorized service personnel for repairs to the power pack. In the event of a blown
fuse after replacing the fuse, contact an authorized service personnel to avoid electrical shock.
Use only Supplied Power Cables
roda power cables meet industrial requirements for low-temperature flexibility, UV resistance, and
oil resistance. Use only supplied power cables from roda.
If other power cables are used, the following may apply:
n The operator is solely responsible for the resulting damage;
n All roda warranties are void.
EnvironmentalHazards
Do not use the SolidPad LR7 in locations near/with flammable gases or vapor.
The use of electrical equipment in explosive environments can be dangerous.
n Turn off the device when near a gas station, fuel depot, chemical plant or a place where
blastingoperations take place.
Environmental
Ambient Temperature
The SolidPad LR7 operates on the basis of a passive cooling concept which internal waste heat is
released via the housing surface and requires fresh airflow in the environment.
n Operating the SolidPad LR7 with no fresh cooling air may cause overheatingand damage
to the device.
n The operating environment should not be enclosed to prevent the cool air being heated by
the heat waste from the device.
Connecting and Disconnecting External Devices
Toprevent the considerable damage, the SolidPad LR7 and the external device should be
disconnected from power when connecting/disconnecting excluding USB devices.
3
Only Use Authorized Accessories
Only use the supplied cables, power packs and other accessories that have been tested and
approved by roda. Contact your local distributor for further information.
Radio Transmissions
Permitted Transmission Power
Follow the national regulations for the maximum permitted transmission power.
The operator is solely responsible for this type of operation.
Radio Frequency Limited Locations
Considering the radio frequency limitation in hospitals and aircraft, the SolidPad LR7 can
only be installed with permission.
Industrial computers may affect the function of implanted medical devices such as pacemakers
and may cause malfunction.
Cleaning and Servicing
n Disconnect the SolidPad LR7 from power before cleaning or servicing.
n Never clean the SolidPad LR7 with compressed air, a pressure washer or a vacuum cleaner.
n If necessary, clean the housing of the SolidPad LR7 with a damp cloth.
n Clean the touch-screen with a nonabrasive cloth.

Introduction
Touch Screen Features
Always use the point of the stylus for clicking or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object on the touch screen.
The stylus is used as if it were a pen or pencil.Touch the screen with the tip of the stylus then
remove the stylus from the screen.
After each use, replace the stylus in the stylus holder for proper care and to preserve the life of the
stylus.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop
computer screen.
The followingactions are available through the use of the stylus:
n Open applications
n Choose commands in menu
n Select options in dialog box or drop-down menu
n Drag the scroll bar
n Drag across the text to select content
n Place the cursor in a text box before typing
A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon in the system tray. After tapping, the mouse
icon highlights the right button of the icon in red. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right
click. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted in red so subsequent taps are treated
as left clicks.
A stylus replacement kit is available.
