1.2. User and Product Safety
•Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
•Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD
panel could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is
broken, never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
•Although the Terminal has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust
resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such
conditions exceeds the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants
entering into the Terminal.
•Use only the original approved AC adapter. Use of an unapproved AC adapter could
result in electrical problems, fire, or electrical shock. Opticon shall not be held
responsible for any damages caused by using an AC adapter not provided by
Opticon.
•Do not disassemble the Terminal. Servicing should be done by a qualified supplier
only. If the Terminal or accessories are damaged due to wrong handling or
unauthorized repair, the warranty is void. The warranty is also void if the warranty
seals are broken.
•Make regularly back-ups of all important data.
•Under no circumstance will the supplier be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential
or incidental damages resulting from the use or inability to use the hardware and
software and/or any data loss, even if the supplier has been informed of the possibility
of such damages.
1.3. Battery Safety
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if used
inappropriately. Please note the following safety warnings:
•Do not throw the battery pack in a fire. Do not expose the battery to high
temperatures.
•Do not connect a positive battery pack to a negative battery pack using any metal
object (like wire).
•Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal objects.
•Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, strike the battery pack with a
hammer, step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts, shocks, or
excessive force.
•Do not solder the battery pack.
•Do not expose battery pack to liquid or allow the battery contacts to get wet.
•Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and
protection measures, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat,
explode, or ignite.
•Do not discharge the battery pack using any device other than the specified device.
When it is used in devices other than the specified device, the battery pack may be
damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to
flow, it may cause the battery pack to overheat, explode, or ignite and cause serious
injury.
•In the event that the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the
eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the
battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
