2.1. General Safety Rules
CAUTION
•Use only the components supplied by the manufacturer for the specific PM260 being used.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the PM260 handy terminal, as it does not contain parts that can
be repaired by the user. Any tampering will invalidate the warranty.
•When replacing the battery pack or at the end of the operative life of the PM260 handy terminal,
disposal must be performed in compliance with the laws in force in your country.
•Before using the devices and the battery packs, read this manual carefully.
•Do not submerge the PM260 handy terminal in liquid products.
2.2. Power Supply
The power supply for this device has met applicable UL/PSE/KCC/CE/CCC safety requirements.
Please adhere to the following safety instructions per UL guidelines:
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
• DANGER – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Use only Pointmobile-approved power supply. Use of a non-Pointmobile-approved power supply may
be dangerous and the warranty does not cover damage to the device caused by non-Pointmobile-
approved power supply. The package includes international AC plug/s. The AC plug/s must be
plugged in the power supply before the power supply itself is plugged on the wall outlet. The power
supply is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or horizontal or floor mount position.
2.3. Laser Safety
CAUTION
A Class 2 laser is safe because the blink reflex limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds. It
only applies to visible-light lasers (400–700 nm). Class-2 lasers are limited to 1mW continuous wave,
or more if the emission time is less than 0.25 seconds or if the light is not spatially coherent.
Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid
staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the
laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window indicated in the figure.
7

Laser Light Label
If the above laser light label is attached to your device, it indicates the product contains a
laser engine or laser aimer that emits the laser light. The following information is provided to
comply with the rules imposed by international authorities and refers to the correct use of
PM260 handy terminal.
Laser Safety Statement
This product has been tested in accordance with and complies with CDRH 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11 and IEC 60825-1 Ed 2 (2007) except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No 50, dated
June 24, 2007. LASER LIGHT. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT. 1 mW MAX
OUTPUT: 650nm.
For installation, use and maintenance, it is not necessary to open the device.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to open or otherwise service any components in the optics cavity. Opening or
servicing any part of the optics cavity by unauthorized personnel may violate laser safety regulations. The optics
system is a factory only repair item.
WARNING:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.
WARNING:
Use of optical systems with the scanner will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include
binoculars, microscopes, eye glasses and magnifying glasses.

2.4. LED Safety
The LED output on this device has met IEC62471 LED safety and certified to be under the limits of a
CLASS 1 LED product.
2.5. FCC RF Exposure
This device complies with FCC RF exposure guidelines set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
2.6. CB Scheme
This device complies with CB Scheme IEC 60950-1
2.7. FCC Part 15 Regulation
Pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules, you are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Pointmobile could void your authority to operate the PM260 handy terminal.
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.
This device 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
radiated 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.
In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines for body-worn operation,
do not use accessories that contain metallic components.
2.8. Canadian Compliance
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna
type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
