Make sure you protect your appliance 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.

Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise,

for example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.

Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for

example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.

RANSPORT

If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions below:

Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has

acclimatized before using it.

In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humid-

ity condensation or moisture may form inside the appliance
and this can cause an electrical short-circuit.

In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and

scratching, use either the protective case.

Before traveling ensure that you are aware of the power and

communications provision at your destination. Before travel­ing obtain any power or communications adapters (modem,
LAN, etc.) that may be needed.

When shipping your appliance use only the original packaging

and advise the carrier accordingly.

When passing through the hand luggage control at airports, it

is recommended that you pass the appliance and all magnetic
storage media (external hard drives) through the X-ray sys­tem (the machine on which you place your bags). Avoid the
magnetic detector (the structure through which you yourself
pass) or the magnetic wand (the hand device that the secu­rity staff use), since this may corrupt your data.
