Setup and Handling Guidelines

1. 1 Initial Inspection: Upon receipt, carefully inspect the Field PG and all accessories for any signs of shipping damage. Verify that all listed components, including power supply, special cables (MPI, S5), and adapters, are present.
2. 2 Power Connection: Use only the supplied Siemens power adapter and the appropriate country-specific power cable. Connect to a stable, grounded power source. Charge the battery fully before initial use in the field to ensure operational reliability.
3. 3 First Boot and OS Selection: Power on the device. During startup, the boot manager will prompt for operating system selection (Windows XP or Windows 7). Choose the OS required for your specific engineering software version and project.
4. 4 Software and License Verification: Once booted, launch the Automation License Manager to verify that all purchased software licenses (STEP 7, WinCC, etc.) are present and valid. It is critical to back up these licenses to a separate, secure location immediately.
5. 5 Field Use: When using in an industrial environment, ensure the Field PG is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface. Keep all protective port covers closed when not in use to prevent ingress of dust and moisture. Manage communication and power cables to prevent tripping hazards.
