Your device comes with a swivel display lid that covers the keyboard in the closed position. Even when closed, the LCD faces up and the control buttons are exposed so you can use your device. When you open the display lid (by rotating it clockwise), the display automatically flips 180-degrees. Read more details below.

Warning! The hinge in the swivel display lid is assisted by a very strong magnet. Be careful to keep the device away from magnetically-sensitive items, such as credit cards, tickets with magnetic strips, and magnetic hotel room keys.

Protect the display from scratches by always using the carrying case to transport your device. The screen on your device is coated with a protective layer of polycarbonate. You can safely use warm soapy water, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and smudges from your screen. Be sure to use a very soft cotton cloth, such as an old t-shirt, to prevent scratching when wiping the screen.

Note: When in very cold or hot temperatures, the display may darken. To remedy the situation, bring your device to room temperature.
