Chapter 1: Product Introduction
1.1 Background
Nustar 5sx is an industrial-grade smart handheld terminal that has been designed and
manufactured by 3nStar, Inc. It’s based on AndroidTM 9, which runs fast and has a long
battery life. To meet the needs of multi-industry applications like logistics express, warehouse
inventory, manufacturing, retail, etc. It can help customers to quickly access information and
improve the efficiency of outbound storage inventory.

1.2 Precautions before Using the Battery
•Do not leave battery unused for long period of time, no matter if it is in
the device or the storage inventory. If the battery has been used for 6
months already, it should be checked for charging ability or it should be
disposed of as required.
•The lifespan of Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years. It can be
repeatedly charged 300 to 500 times. (One full battery charge period
means completely charged and used until completely discharged.)
•When Li-ion battery is not in use, it will continue discharge slowly.
Therefore, battery charging status should be checked frequently and
take reference of the related battery charging information on the
manuals.
•Observe and record the information for new unused and non-fully
charged batteries to prolong battery life. Plan on the longer operating
time of a new battery compared with a battery that has been used for
long time. According to product configuration and application use, the
operating time of a used battery would be different.
•Check battery charging status at regular intervals.
•When battery operating time drops below about 80%, charging time will
be increased remarkably.
•If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be
sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you do not
follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when
you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it
or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
•Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and
68 °F).
