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 by one of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
●
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
●
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is●connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 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.
About This Manual
i

ii
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
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 internally a 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 unit.
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
This unit is equipped with battery packs and backup battery. It is possible that the AWID HH-
6600 may not power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage.
In the above situation, plug the HH-6600 to the USB charging cable which is with DC in port or
put the unit into the AWID HH-6600 Cradle (with 12V/2AAC-DC adapter), and recharge the unit
for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.
The backup battery will charge from external power or the main battery (if the main battery still
has enough power to turn on). In the event the main battery is fully charged, refrain from using
the HH-6600 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery.
Backing-up data by backup battery only without the main battery installed in battery compartment
may take as long as 6 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data protection failure due to backup
battery failure, do not leave the HH-6600 without the rechargeable battery pack installed, or
without connection to AC power for an extended period of time.
NOTE:
The rst time you use the HH-6600, you must turn on the backup battery switch. ●See turn on
the backup battery & grip battery switch on page 6 for more information.

iii
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-
Ion battery pack. The process is most efcient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It
is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries
outside of the specied 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
be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging
prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C,
however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to
store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
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
minimum distance 1.5cm between the radiator & your body.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment . End users must follow the specific operating instructions
for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, please follow operation instruction asdocumented in this manual.
For hdesktop operation only. This PRFID Handheld Terminal meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used in hand-held or desktop operation.
