SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure to observe all these safety precautions.
 Please READ through these instructions carefully. They will enable you to use the scanner correctly.
 Always keep this manual nearby for speedy reference.
Strict observance of these warnings and cautions is a MUST for preventing accidents that could result in bodily injury and
substantial property damage. Make sure you fully understand all definitions of these terms and symbols given below before
you proceed to the text itself.
Alerts you to those conditions that could cause serious bodily injury or death if the instructions
are not followed correctly.
Alerts you to those conditions that could cause minor bodily injury or substantial property
damage if the instructions are not followed correctly.
Meaning of Symbols
A triangle ( ) with a picture inside alerts you to a warning of danger. Here you see the warning for electrical
shock.
A diagonal line through a circle ( ) warns you of something you should not do; it may or may not have a picture
inside. Here you see a screwdriver inside the circle, meaning that you should not disassemble.
A black circle ( ) with a
p
icture inside alerts you to something you MUST do. This example shows that yo
u
MUST unplug the power cord.

To System Designers:
When introducing the scanner in those systems that could affect human lives (e.g., medicines
management system), develop applications carefully through redundancy and safety design
which avoids the feasibility of affecting human lives even if a data error occurs.
Handling the battery
Wrong handling of the battery could result in a heat, smoke, explosion, or fire. Be sure to observe the following.
Never disassemble or heat the battery, nor put it into fire or water; doing so could cause
battery-rupture or leakage of battery fluid, resulting in a fire or bodily injury.
Do not carry or store the battery together with metallic ballpoint pens, necklaces, coins, hairpins,
etc.
Doing so could short-circuit the terminal pins, causing the batteries to rupture or the battery fluid
to leak, resulting in a fire or bodily injury.
Never put the battery into a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
Avoid dropping the battery or letting it undergo any shock or impact.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
Never charge the battery where any inflammable gases may be emitted; doing so could cause
fire.
If any abnormality is detected—smoking, abnormal odors, discoloration or deformation when the
battery is in use, in storage or being charged, remove the battery from the scanner or charger.
Only use the dedicated charger for charging the battery.
Using a different type of charger could cause battery-rupture or leakage of battery fluid and result
in a fire, bodily injury, or serious damage to property.
The battery contains strong alkaline liquid (electrolyte).
If battery liquid leaks from the battery and it gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water
thoroughly without rubbing and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may
damage your eyes.

iv
Handling the scanner
Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure. Be sure to observe
the following
If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the scanner, immediately remove the battery and
contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
If foreign material or water gets into the scanner, immediately remove the battery and contact your
nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
If you drop the scanner so as to affect the operation or damage its housing, remove the battery
and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not use the scanner where any inflammable gases may be emitted.
Doing so could cause fire.
Do not subject the scanning window of the scanner to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Doing so could damage the scanner, resulting in a fire.
Stop charging if it cannot be completed within the specified time.
Never put the scanner into a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
Never use the scanner on the line voltage other than the specified level.
Doing so could cause the charger to break or burn.
Use the dedicated battery only.
Failure to do so could result in fire.

v
Handling the scanner
Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure. Be sure to observe the following
Never
disassemble
Never disassemble or modify the scanner; doing so could result in an accident such as break or
fire.
Doing so could result in a fire or electrical shock.
If you are not using the scanner for a long time, be sure to remove the battery for safety.
Failure to do so could result in a fire.
Do not use the scanner with discharged batteries. If used, the scanner may not function properly.
Do not put the scanner on an unstable or inclined plane.
The scanner may drop, creating injuries.
Never put the scanner in places where there are excessively high temperatures, such as inside
closed-up automobiles, or in places exposed to direct sunlight.
Doing so could affect the housing or parts, resulting in a fire.
Avoid using the scanner in extremely humid areas, or where there are drastic temperature
changes.
Moisture will get into the scanner, resulting in malfunction, fire or electrical shock.
Do not place the scanner anyplace where it may be subjected to oily smoke or steam, e.g., near a
cooking range or humidifier.
Doing so could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Never cover or wrap up the scanner in a cloth or blanket.
Doing so could cause the unit to heat up inside, deforming its housing, resulting in a fire.
Always use the scanner in a well-ventilated area.
Do not insert or drop foreign materials such as metals or anything inflammable through the
openings (vents or scanning window) into the scanner.
Doing so could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not scratch or modify the scanner.
Doing so could damage the scanner, creating a fire hazard.
Do not put heavy material on the scanner, or allow the scanner to get pressed under heavy
material.
Do not look into the light source from the scanning window or do not point the scanning window at
other people’s eyes.
Eyesight may be damaged by direct exposure to this light.
Do not use the scanner if your hands are wet or damp.
Doing so could result in an electrical shock.

vi
Handling the scanner
Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure. Be sure to observe the following
Never use chemicals or organic solvents such as benzine and thinner to clean the housing. Do not
apply insecticide to the scanner.
Doing so could result in a marred or cracked housing, electrical shock or fire.
Do not use the scanner with anti-slip gloves containing plasticizer.
The scanner housing may be broken, creating injuries, electrical shock, or fire.
When taking care of the scanner, remove the battery.
Failure to do so could result in an electrical shock.
Do not drop the scanner.
The housing may be broken, creating injuries. Using the scanner whose housing is broken could
result in smoke or fire.
Remove the battery from the scanner.
Then contact your nearest dealer.
