About This Manual

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

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.

after a full day of use with the Synchronization Power Cable or the Docking Station.

CAUTION!

Operating the HH-6600 for the rst time without fully charging the Backup Battery

may result in data loss stored in the RAM memory. When the main battery is

removed, the backup battery retains data in the RAM memory for 72 hours; charge

the battery as soon as possible to avoid data loss.

NOTE:

Turn the backup battery swith to the ON position before charging the battery. Data loss

may occur if the Backup Battery is not properly charged.

Charging the Battery using the Synchronization Power Cable

1. Connect the Synchronization Power Cable connector to the HH-6600 (1).

2. Plug the AC Adapter cable into the USB Connector's power jack (2).

3. Connect the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet (3).

Charging the Battery with the Docking Station

1. Plug the AC Adapter cable into the Docking Station's power jack, then connect the AC Adapter

into an electrical outlet.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
