Water Resistance

The Water Resistance test was performed in accordance with MIL-STD-810F, Method
506.4, Procedure III (Drip). The test items were subjected to this test with
the LCD open and the unit operating, but with ports closed. The Toughbooks were
opened following testing to inspect for water intrusion.
Results
The Toughbooks continued to operate during and following the 15-minute water
drip test. There was no evidence of water intrusion.
Picture
This
You're sitting in an aisle seat of an airplane working
to complete a presentation. The food cart accidentally bumps into your tray
table, knocking a cup of hot coffee onto your keyboard. The results
could be disastrous, unless your keyboard, ports and internal circuitry
have been designed to resist such hazards.
It's unavoidable. Notebooks get caught in the rain and accidentally dowsed
with coffee just like you do.
Spill-resistant Keyboard & Touchpad
Certain Toughbook models feature spill-resistant keyboards and touchpads
for protection against potential damage from the spills and splashes that are
common to mobile computing environments.
Protected LCDs
The LCD panel on some Toughbook models is protected by an overlay panel
which is sealed around the edges to provide extra protection against moisture
and dust.
Sealed Ports & PC Card Slots
Hinged aluminum alloy covers with environmental seals protect the multimedia
pocket, PC card slots and rear connection terminals.
