Warning Signals10.3 Undertemperature (Operation at Subzero Temperatures)If the internal temperature falls below 0° Celsius, you cannot switch on thecolibri X5. The only reason for this is the security of your data on the hard disk,which is important to us.• Correct startup and operation of the hard disk is not guaranteed at lowtemperatures. The hard disk may not even start because the bearingfriction is too high. It is also possible that the read head will not reach itsnormal "flying height" in time and will touch down and damage the datalayer.• The colibri X5 comes with Toshiba's reliable notebook hard disks. Thediameter of the data cylinder is 2.5 inches. 2.5" hard disks are available inlarge quantities and with high capacities. Our experience of Toshiba harddisks is excellent, with failures extremely rare.• According to the data sheet, 2.5" notebook disks are specified for a lowambient temperature of 5° Celsius. The heat generated by the devicehelps the ambient temperature being allowed to fall significantly belowthis limit without the need for hard disk heating.44Battery behaviour at low temperatures:• Li-Ion batteries must only be charged at positive temperatures, andmains sockets are usually only available indoors. Therefore you willtake the system into the warmth of a building for charging at night.In the morning, switch on the colibri X5 before you take it outside.The heat generated by the device will allow smooth continuousoperation at outside temperatures as low as around -10° Celsius.• Li-Ion batteries may be discharged at negative temperatures. This willonly slightly reduce the operating time.Proceed as follows when working at subzero temperatures:1. Simply take as many charged batteries with you as you need for yourworking time. Only shut down the colibri X5 (or switch it to hibernatemode) if you want to change the battery. Otherwise leave the systemswitched on.52Documentation
