Before commissioning the devices, please read through the relevant documents carefully.
Target group: Experienced and trained specialists acting in compliance with the NEC 500, IEC 60079-19 and
IEC 60079-17.
This user manual contains important information, safety instructions and test certificates that are necessary for perfect
functioning when operating and handling the Mobile Computer. If the information and safety instructions for the devices are
not observed, its use to the intended purpose in hazardous (potentially explosive) zones can no longer be guaranteed.
Device modifications that are not expressly approved by BARTEC may invalidate the operating permit for the respective
device. Non-conformance will also rule out claims under guarantee. The warranty will be rendered invalid if the delivered
item is harmed because of inappropriate handling, excessive strain, inadequate servicing, abnormal operating conditions or
transport damage. Natural wear is also excluded from warranty.
BARTEC reserves the right to alter the contents of the document without notice. No guarantee is given for the correctness
of the information. In case of doubt the original German version of the safety information will apply because it is not
possible to rule out errors in translation or in printing. In the event of a law case, the “General Terms and Conditions“ of the
BARTEC Group will apply in addition.
If any differences emerge between the contents in the documents from Motorola and those from BARTEC, the information
in this Mobile Computer MC 9090ex user manual shall apply.
The respective up-to-date versions of data sheets, manuals and certificates may be downloaded from the “Ex Visualisation
and Communication Systems“ product page at www.bartec-group.com, or ordered directly from BARTEC GmbH.

1Product Description
The MC 9090ex-G and MC 9090ex-K Mobile Computers each form a compact unit for high-standard barcode scanning in
hazardous (potentially explosive) areas. The comfortably positioned scan trigger and the ergonomic design of the
MC 9090ex device series allow the acquisition of data with one-hand operation.
The MC 9090ex device series is available in various versions.
MC 9090ex-G MC 9090ex-K
Both the MC 9090ex-G Mobile Computer (Gun version) and also the MC 9090ex-K Mobile Computer (Brick version) allow
data to be exchanged with the host system in real time.
The devices in the innovative MC 9090ex series are powerful hand-held mobile computers that combine the advantages of
the Microsoft Pocket PC platform and the strengths of the Intel® XScaleTM PXA270 processor with 624 MHz.
They feature a large easy-to-read 1/4 VGA colour display with attractive touchscreen technology. The radio standard used
is IEEE 802.11a/b/g (direct sequence).

2Safety Instructions
W A R N I N G S
The device may not be opened by the user outside the hazardous area either! The user may not make any alterations
to the device. Do not exchange or replace components and do not retrofit any components on internal plug connectors
or slots. If components other than those specified are used, the protection against explosions can no longer be assured.
Exception: Keypad and SD card (see chapter 6.1 "Keypad and SD Card")
Substitution of components may impair non incentive.
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres disconnect power before servicing!
C A U T I O N
Do not open or charge the device and do not exchange any data through the "cradle contacts" on the battery in the
hazardous area! Operating the 17-pin data interface (see chapter 3.5 "Technical Data Battery, Article "External Battery
Contacts") is only permissible outside the hazardous area and only with devices specified by the manufacturer!
Protect the device from impact effects! Do not expose the operating equipment to any caustic/aggressive liquids,
vapours or mist! In the event of malfunctioning or damage to the enclosure, take the equipment out of the potentially
explosive atmosphere immediately, bring it into a safe area and decommission it by removing the battery!
If on account of adverse effects or conditions (e.g. penetration of water, fluids, exposure to temperatures outside the
specified range etc.) there is a danger of not being able to operate the equipment safely, switch off the equipment
instantly and remove the battery.
Avoid the influence of heat that is higher or lower than the specified temperature range (see chapter 3.2 "General
Data"). Do not place the devices anywhere near sources of heat, such as for example heaters, air exit openings in air-
conditioners, or near cookers or other devices (including amplifiers) that radiate heat.
Avoid the effects of moisture.
Do not put any objects into the device, into the enclosure or other openings in the Mobile Computer. Openings in the
device may not be blocked, obstructed or covered.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
