real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit
of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innova-
tions such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped
hard disk drive and fl oppy disk drive, fl exible internal connec-
tions. The CF-19 's outstanding engineering has been tested
using the strict MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock) and IP
(for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be
taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling
procedures are recommended.
