FOR USA

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 or more 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.

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.

FOR CANADA

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from

digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled

"Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of Industry Canada. 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.

Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux

appareils numeriques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le material brouilleur:

IMPORTANT NOTICES

FOR HAND-HELD PRODUCT WITH RF FUNCTIONS

The 1660/1661 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-1660, Q3N-1661) complies with FCC radiation

exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio

frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The unit has very low

level of RF energy that it is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio

(SAR).

The 3610 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-3610) complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with

minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body. It only operated in

hand-held used. If you only transfer data to the host wirelessly, please keep the

minimum distance 20 cm between machine & your body.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.

DO NOT expose the scanner or the battery to any flammable sources.

For green-environment issue, it's important that batteries should be recycled in a

proper way.

Under no circumstances, internal components are self-serviceable.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Use a clean cloth to wipe dust off the scanning window and the body of the scanner.

DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner.

If you want to put away the scanner for a period of time, download the collected data

to a host computer when in the memory mode, and then take out the battery. Store

the scanner and battery separately.

When the scanner resumes its work, make sure the battery is fully charged before

use.

Keep the scanner away from any magnets and magnetic fields to prevent the laser

engine from malfunctioning.

If you shall find the scanner malfunctioning, write down the specific scenario and

consult your local sales representative.
