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
communication. 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.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTICES

FOR PRODUCT WITH LASER
CAUTION
This laser component emits FDA / IEC Class 2 laser light at the exit port. Do not
stare into beam.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION
The product complies with the FCC / Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual.
The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the products can be kept as far as
possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is
available.
1. FCC SAR Value (Standard limit is 1.6 W/Kg)
USA (1g): Max. 0.9 W/Kg
2. CE SAR Value (Standard limit is 2 W/Kg)
CE (10g): Max. 0.339 W/Kg
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
The use of any batteries or charging devices, which are not originally sold or
manufactured by CipherLab, will void your warranty and may cause damage to human
body or the product itself.
DO NOT disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.
DO NOT expose the device or the battery to any flammable sources.
For green-environment issue, it's important that batteries should be recycled in a
proper way.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
This mobile computer is intended for industrial use. The mobile computer is rated IP54,
however, damage may be done to the mobile computer if it is exposed to extreme
temperatures or soaked in water.
When the body of the mobile computer gets dirty, use a clean, wet cloth to wipe off
dust and debris. DO NOT use bleaches or cleaners.
Use a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to wipe dust off the LCD touch screen. DO
NOT use any pointed or sharp objects against the surface. Always keep the LCD dry.

If you want to put away the mobile computer for a period of time, download the
collected data to a host computer, and then remove the battery pack from the mobile
computer’s battery compartment. Store the mobile computer and battery pack
separately.
If you encounter malfunction on the mobile computer, write down the specific scenario
and consult your local sales representative.
