1. Hardware System Maintenance Specification

Antenna array maintenance: Clean the surface of the ultra wideband antenna with a dust-free cloth every week to avoid scratches and signal attenuation. After exploring the Gobi Desert in Jiuquan, Gansu, compressed air is needed to blow away the sand accumulation in the antenna gap to prevent poor contact from causing frequency band shift.

Battery Management: Adopting'Shallow charging and shallow discharging'Strategy to avoid overcharging of lithium batteries (voltage)>16.8V）Or over discharge (voltage)<12V）. Before winter work in Northeast China, the battery needs to be placed in25℃Environmental preheating2Hour by hour, to prevent capacity degradation caused by low temperatures40%.

Interface protection: Seal with dust plugs after each useUSBTheHDMIInterface to prevent moisture from entering and causing oxidation. After the completion of the coastal project in Hainan, it is necessary to use alcohol swabs to wipe the metal contacts of the interface to avoid salt spray corrosion.
