- ix -
Preface
Do not use the power adapter that isn’t made for the device. Supplying the
device with inappropriate voltage may cause harm to the battery or, even
worse, burn the device.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods.
Laser Safety
The device's barcode scanner that uses laser lights is a class 2 laser product. DO NOT
stare into the laser beams or point the laser beam at anyone's eyes when the
barcode scanner is inoperation.
Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan of
the battery. Most importantly, use only the device in its ideal operating temperature
(as described in 1.5 Specifications) –do not leave it in a hot trunk during the summer.
•Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time the device will run before it must be recharged
(sometimes this is also called “playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before it
must be replaced.
•Using the Device for the FirstTime
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 3 hours) the device when charging the device for
the first time.
•Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is
recommended that the battery should be stored separately and fully charged,

Preface
and get recharged every three months. If you store an uncharged battery, it could
fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding any
charge. Be sure to store the equipment and battery at the proper temperature
(as described in 1.5 Specifications).
•Battery Lifespan
The non-replaceable batteries for the device are designed to retain up to 80% of
their original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles when properly
maintained. You may choose to replace new battery with the help of qualified
service personnel when it no longer holds the sufficient charge that meets your
needs.
•The lithium-ion battery is currently one of the most popular battery packs. The
best advantage is that it has no memory effect, so users needn’t worry about that
issue. Users can charge the battery anytime whether it is fully drained or not.
However, it’s recommended that users drain the batteryuntil the system shows
power shortage warning and then recharge the battery. Doing so is helpful to the
reliability of your battery.
•Don’t use the battery pack as a power supply for other equipment.
•Don’t expose the battery to elevated heat situations such as under direct
sunlight in a car or near fire.
•Don’t disassemble the battery, or the battery leakage might cause skin or eye
injury. If electrolyte leaking from the battery contacts your skin or clothing,
immediately flush it with running water. If it splashes into eye, rinse the eye at
least 15 minutes with clean water and then seek medical attention.
•Toavoid battery leakage or explosion, don’t discard the battery into water or
fire, or put them near a heat source such as a gas stove or an oven.
•If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is
recommended that the battery should be fully charged, and get recharged every
three months. If you store the device with an uncharged battery, it could fall into a
deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding any charge. Be
sure to store your the device and battery at the proper temperature (as described
in 1.5 Specifications).
•Use the appropriate container to store the battery such as a paper box. Do not
allow a metal object to touch the terminal of the battery.
•The battery consists of precise electrical components and cells. Do not drop
or hit thebattery.

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the device. When
you clean any single part or component for the device, please thoroughly read and
understand the details below.
1. We strongly recommended that you should shut down the systembefore you
start to clean.
2. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
3. Never drop the components inside the device or get circuit board damp or wet.
4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it
for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the device.
Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of
cleaning your devices and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean
their devices and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use
while cleaning your devices or peripherals. Keep in mind that some components in
your device may only be able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning
that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning.
• Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we
still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some
water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the device. Unknown solvents may
be harmful to the plastics parts.
• Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
• Foam swabs: Whenever possible, it is better to use lint-free swabs such as
foam swabs.

Disposing of the Device
•Within the EuropeanUnion
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State,
requires that waste electrical and electronic products carrying the
mark (left) must be disposed of separately from normal household
waste.
This includes monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power
cords. When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the
product, or if applicable, follow any agreements made between yourself. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European
Union Member States.
