Laser Safety
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, it may cause interference to
radio communications. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to EN55022 and 47 CFR, Part 2 and Part 15
of FCC Rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against
interference when operated in a commercial environment.
Radiant Energy: The laser scanner uses one low-power visible laser diodes operating at
650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9μW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light
with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.

USER’S MANUAL
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may
be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner engine, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe
operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a
stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its
power source immediately.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not
remove the protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard.
Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not
include normal eye glasses worn by the user.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
For CE-Countries
This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked
power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.
Power Supply
Use only the type of battery and the charging equipments that came with your
scanner.
Using any other type of battery and charging equipment may damage the scanner
and invalidate the warranty.
Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.
Do not attempt to split or peel the outer casing.
Remove the battery if the scanner is not going to be used for a long time. If the

When using Keyboard wedge and USB interface for cradle
communication, it is not necessary to have an external power adapter if
host has sufficient power. But these interfaces need external power
adapter when charging batteries.
The mini USB port on the bottom of the cradle should only be connected
using the USB power adaptor. If connect to PC host will drain host power,
and may affect the performance of the PC host.
