Where the non-web document is displayed on hardware that is designed to be reoriented in typical use, this applies directly as written, and as described in [Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 1.3.4](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/orientation#intent).

A non-web document that is only used on hardware that supports a single display orientation, or is only displayed on hardware that is physically fixed in one orientation (e.g. a digital building directory) is excluded by the precondition and therefore does not need to provide support for orientation changes.</div>

Calculators and wristwatches are not typically used in more than one orientation to view apps or for general functionality and digital building directories bolted to the wall are unable to be reoriented.</div>

Examples of software excluded by the precondition:
155+
- The software on a typical handheld calculator (one that typically would only be used in one orientation)
156+
- Software used on wristwatches (where the software typically is only displayed in one orientation) (sleep mode being non-typical)
157+
- Building directory software written to ONLY be used on tablet devices bolted to the wall, all in the same orientation
