Regulatory Compliance Statements
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference through one of the
following:
Relocate the receiving antenna.●
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.●
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from the receiver.●
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.●
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This
device and its antenna(s) must not cohabitate or operate in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. End users must follow the specic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. Please follow the operation instructions in this manual to main compliant with FCC
RF exposure compliance requirments. This RFID Handheld Terminal meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used in handheld or desktop operation.
RoHS Statement
This device conforms to RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) European Union
regulations that set maximum concentration limits on hazardous materials used in electrical and
electronic equipment.
Laser Information
The AWID HH-6600 series is certied in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/CDRH
21CFR Subchapter J, and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2 products are
not considered to be hazardous. The HH-6600 series contains an internal Visible Laser Diode
(VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations.
The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal
operation, user maintenance or during prescribed service operations.
The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the HH-6600 series’s optional laser
scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the HH-6600.
CAUTION!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments
with the scanner will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars,
microscopes and magnifying glasses. This does not include eye glasses worn by
the user.

Notices
The AWID HH-6600 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion Battery Pack and a Backup Battery. However,
the HH-6600 may not start without an external power source due to battery discharge after
extended storage periods To charge the battery to full capacity, connect the HH-6600 to an
external power source with the USB Charging Cable or the AWID HH-6600 Cradle. Initially
charge the HH-6600 for at least 16 hours.
The Backup Battery will receive power from an external power source, or through the main
battery (But, only if the main battery has adequate power). In order to prevent data loss due
to Backup Battery failure, connect the HH-6600 to the main Battery Pack or an external power
source.
NOTE: Turn the HH-6600 Backup Battery Switch to the ON position before initial use.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature when charging the Lithium-Ion Battery
Pack. Charging is most efficient at room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is
essential that batteries are charged within the temperature ranges of 32º F - 104ºF (0°C - 40°C).
Charging batteries outside of the specied temperature range could damage the batteries and
shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity
may deplete due to buildup of internal resistance. In this case they will require recharging.
Lithium-Ion batteries may store at temperatures between -4Fº - 140Fº (-20°C to 60°C). But the
batteries may deplete more rapidly at the warmer end of this range. It is recommended to store
batteries at room temperature.
IMPORTANT NOTE
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with a minimum distance of 1.5cm between the radiator and the user's body.
