Matters needing attention
Battery precautions
Battery life depends on the type of battery and how it is used. The
battery life can be extended by avoiding the battery in a state that is
completely electrically powered, which is prone to damage the battery.
A few full discharges are more damaging than often charging the
batteries. Charging a part of the battery does not damage the battery,
because lithium batteries have no memory function. Keep the batteries
in a cool state and avoid overheating. If you want to place a long time,
make the battery charge at about 40% percent. Avoid the battery long
time completely no electricity or long time placement, because the
battery power will be exhausted, the resulting damage will make it more
life than normal use of battery life shortened by half.
Battery charging considerations
The ambient temperature has a great relationship to the lithium
battery charging, and the battery charging efficiency is the highest in
ambient or slightly cooler temperature. Charging the battery between
10 ℃ to 45 ℃, exceeding this range of charging may cause damage to
the battery and shorten its service life.
Note: Do not charge the battery in the temperature environment below
0 ℃ because it increases the internal resistance of the battery and
increases the heat of the battery so that the battery is unstable and
unsafe. Please use the battery temperature test charging device to
ensure that the charging is carried out within a safe temperature range.
In addition, in order to protect the batteries, avoid swelling, please
use battery thermal protection to ensure that batteries will not charge
at temperatures exceeding 50 ℃.
Storage and security considerations
Rechargeable lithium Batteries If they are not used for a few months, the battery's
power will be exhausted by the depletion of the internal resistance. If this happens,
fill the battery with electricity before you use it. The storage temperature of lithium
batteries is between-20 ℃ to 60 ℃, the higher the storage temperature, the faster the
battery consumption, so it is best to store the batteries below room temperature.
Laser safety precautions
Do not direct the laser line to the naked eye to prevent damage.

2. Introduction
PWS-472 based on Android development, with four core processors and
5-inch high-resolution screen, the use of industrial grade design and
development with waterproof, dustproof, anti-fall, can replace the large
capacity batteries, with more than 8 hours of endurance. At the same
time support GPS/Beidou, RFID (NFC), 1D/2D barcode scanning and other
functions. PWS-472 can be widely used in medical, retail, warehouses,
factories and electricity, land, surveying, forestry and other

3.2 Barcode scanner
1. The native system automatically turns on scanning service.
2. The native scan service is divided into two modes:
One is analog keyboard message, that is, open any edit
area/input area to press the scan button to scan input.
One is the messaging mechanism, which needs to modify the
associated reception mechanism in the user app to get the
current scan results. Generally speaking, it is necessary to
receive the Chinese information in the barcode.
Specific code and relevant instructions are detailed in the
development SDK.
3. Commonly used scanning settings, in the "Settings"-"scanner" can be set.
3.3 WiFi Roam
PWS-472 built-in WiFi chips support wireless roaming, usually what we call
"roaming" means that when the device is plugged into an AP, the current
signal is getting weaker and more seamlessly connected to the new AP on the
same SSID automatically. WiFi roaming settings need to be focused on two
parameters, one that triggers the roaming action's "signal threshold", and
the other is "the signal difference", that is, the "degree" of the signal
value of another "better" AP is good.

10
In the system settings, locate the WLAN roaming as follows:
Click enter:
WLAN roaming switch: Turn on/off roaming switches
Toggle Signal Threshold: Set the trigger signal value for roaming
Toggle Signal Difference: Sets the difference between the current signal and the
roaming AP signal.
Default roaming SSID: When fixed to a certain SSID, such as a connection to
other SSID, the system deletes the configuration file for the attached SSID and
reconnect the default SSID.
Note: Roaming thresholds can directly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of
roaming, in general, the roaming threshold needs to be tested according to the
actual environment, if necessary, please contact local technical support staff

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.0cm must be maintained between the
user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components.
Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved
antenna.
