Tips

To maximize battery life in the field, keep the screen brightness at a moderate level when full 1200 nits is not needed. For glove use, enable the touchscreen's glove mode in the settings. When cleaning the device, use a soft cloth dampened with water or mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the IP65 seals.
