CARING FOR THE MOBILEPRO 
The NEC MobilePro is a durable, dependable unit built for 
extensive use and travel. Follow these guidelines to main-
tain the condition and performance of your MobilePro. 
!CAUTION 
Immediately turn off and unplug the MobilePro under 
the following conditions. 
!The power cord is damaged or frayed. 
!Liquid spills on or into the unit. 
!Someone drops the unit or damages the casing. 
Precautions 
Follow these precautions when using your NEC MobilePro 
and AC adapter. 
!Always plug the AC adapter cord into an easily acces-
sible outlet. It is important to be able to easily shut off 
power by unplugging the AC adapter if needed.

adapter. 
!Do not stack heavy objects on the MobilePro or the AC 
adapter.  
						

							  
Introducing the NEC MobilePro  2-19 
!When using the AC adapter, make sure the power 
source falls within the unit’s compatible range of 100–
240 volts AC. Never use the AC adapter if the voltage 
falls outside of this range. (Watch for this when travel-
ing to other countries.) 
!Turn off the MobilePro power before attaching or re-
moving devices. 
!Do not push any foreign objects into the MobilePro 
bays, connectors, and slots. 
!Avoid using the unit or AC adapter for extended peri-
ods in direct sunlight. 
!Do not use the unit in humid or dusty environments. 
!Turn off the MobilePro power before cleaning the sys-
tem. 
!Avoid exposing the MobilePro or AC adapter to ex-
treme changes in temperature or humidity. If it is un-
avoidable, allow your MobilePro to adjust to room 
temperature before use. 
!When cleaning the system, use a soft, clean, slightly 
damp, almost dry cloth. Avoid wiping the display sur-
face with abrasive material, including rough fabric. Do 
not use a cleaning solution; this may damage the plas-
tic. 
!If the AC adapter becomes extremely hot, unplug the 
adapter and let it cool. 
!Keep the AC adapter away from the IrDA port to en-
sure stable communication/transfer operations. 
Storage Requirements 
Store the NEC MobilePro and AC adapter in an environ-
ment that meets the following conditions.  
						

							  
2-20 Introducing the NEC MobilePro  
!Maintain storage temperatures between 14°F and 140°F 
(–10°C and 60°C). 
!CAUTION 
If the temperature of the NEC MobilePro suddenly 
rises or falls (for example, when you move the 
system from a cold place to a warm place) vapor 
condenses inside the system. Turning on the unit 
under this condition can damage the internal system 
components. 
Before turning on the NEC MobilePro, wait until the 
unit’s internal temperature equalizes with the new 
environment and any internal humidity evaporates. 
!Keep the storage area free from vibration and magnetic 
fields. 
!Keep the unit and its components away from organic 
solvents or corrosive gases. 
!Avoid leaving the unit and its components in direct 
sunlight or near heat sources. 
Routine Cleaning 
Clean or dust your system as follows. 
!CAUTION 
Never
 use harsh solutions, household cleaners, or 
spray cleaners that contain caustic materials on the 
MobilePro. 
These cleaners are usually high in alkalinity, which is 
measured in pH. Using these cleaners can cause 
the plastic surface to crack or discolor.
