WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
DANGER - POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D'INCENDIE OU DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE, VEUILLEZ SUIVRE
ATTENTIVEMENT CES 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 plugs. The AC plugs 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.
N'utilisez que l'alimentation fournie et approuvée par Pointmobile. L'utilisation de toute autre alimentation peut être
dangereuse. La garantie ne couvre pas les dommages causés à l'appareil par une autre alimentation que celle fournie par
Pointmobile. L’alimentation est livrée avec des adaptateurs AC pour les différentes prises Internationales. Ces prises
adaptateur doivent être installées à l'alimentation électrique avant que cette dernière soit elle-même branchée sur la prise
murale. L'alimentation est destinée à être orientée en position verticale ou horizontale.
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 though 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.
ATTENTION
Un laser de classe 2 reste inoffensif pour les yeux. Le réflexe de clignement de l’œil limite l'exposition à 0,25 secondes au
plus. Ceci s’applique uniquement aux lasers de lumière visible (400-700 nm). Les Lasers de Classe 2 sont limités à 1 mW
(onde continue), ou davantage si le temps d'émission est inférieur à 0,25 secondes ou encore si la lumière n'est pas
cohérente dans l'espace. Bien que le fait de regarder directement le faisceau laser ne cause pas de dommage biologique
momentané, il est conseillé d’éviter de regarder le faisceau ainsi que n'importe quelle source de lumière très forte, comme
le soleil. Évitez également que le faisceau laser frappe l'œil d'un observateur, ainsi que toutes surfaces réfléchissantes
environnantes, telles que des miroirs, etc
La lumière laser est visible pour l'œil humain et est émise à partir de la fenêtre indiquée sur la figure.

3. Getting Started
3.1. Charge the Device
Battery pack is assembled inside of the PM3 Bluetooth scanner. Charge the device with the charging
cable for a minimum of 4 or 6 hours before initial use.
1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the plug of the power cable.
2. Insert the plug into the appropriate power source.
Plug the Bluetooth scanner power cable into the USB Jack on the side end of the unit.
WARNING: Use only Pointmobile-approved peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Unauthorized
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause explosion or damage on your device.
DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet Bluetooth scanners or batteries. All components must be dry before
connecting to an external power source.
Batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0~45℃(±3℃). If you don’t follow the guide, it might
have a harmful effect on the battery life.
AVERTISSEMENT : Veillez à n’utiliser que les périphériques approuvés par Pointmobile (câbles d'alimentation et
adaptateurs électriques). Tout périphérique non autorisé (câble ou adaptateur) peut provoquer l’explosion de la
batterie ou endommager votre appareil.
NE PAS tenter de recharger les terminaux ou les batteries encore humides lorsqu’ils ont été mouillés. Tous les
composants doivent être impérativement séchés avant la connexion à une source d'alimentation externe.
Les batteries doivent être chargées à une température allant de 0~45°C (± 3°C). Le non-respect de ces
recommandations pourrait avoir un effet néfaste sur la durée de vie de la batterie.
CAUTION: After the device has been charged, disconnect the DC Power Jack. If you stay on that plug in use, it is
possible to break the power cord.
ATTENTION: Après une période de charge de la batterie, veillez à débrancher le connecteur du chargeur. Une
utilisation prolongée de celui-ci risquerait d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation.
