TDC600 screen unusable when wet

  • 1.  TDC600 screen unusable when wet

    Posted 07-18-2023 06:03

    Hi everyone,

    Is there a way to make the screen less sensitive when in humid or wet conditions?  When this screen gets wet, it is nearly impossible to collect data.  The water makes the thing go crazy opening apps, switching between apps.  Totally ignoring my commands.  If anyone has experienced this issue and found a work around, I would be grateful to hear what you've done.

    Also, is there a way to open Terraflex and lock it open so that no other apps can accidentally open or switch.  I just want to use Terraflex, I don't need email, internet browser, or anything else this thing can do.  

    Thank you,

    Following this thread because we have the same issue and needs and haven't found a good solution yet. We try putting them in plastic baggies to help, but it doesn't seem to solve the issue completely.

    Tom gives some suggestions about using TDC650 in the rain on this Community post.  The TDC650 is the same device as TDC600 (V2 I think) but with an add-on GNSS module so the same tips may be useful.
