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 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.

3.4. Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
· Store the terminal and the spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF) in order to
maintain optimal battery performance.
Ø High capacity batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0~45℃(±3℃).
· Standard batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0~45℃(±3℃).
· The battery level may not be displayed correctly for some minutes after the disconnection if
the handy terminal is disconnected from power supply before the charging cycle is completed.
· The handy terminal could get warm during charging. This is normal and does not mean a
malfunction.
· To achieve the best battery life, turn off the radios not in use.
· Rechargeable battery packs is not initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is
to charge them. See below.
· By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive
draining. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or
abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet handy terminals or batteries. All components must be dry
before connecting to an external power source.
WARNING: Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according
to local guidelines.
WARNING: Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status should be
avoided.
Only in case of long storage, in order to avoid deep discharge of the battery, it's recommended to partially
recharge the battery every two-three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.
WARNING: Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by authorized personnel and following
this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explosion.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or heat; do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or
store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in microwave
ovens, dryer, high pressure containers, on induction cookware or similar device. Doing so may cause the battery
pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Pointmobile approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the product
warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, explode or ignite.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack in any other manner outside its intended use in Handy Terminal and peripherals.

WARNING
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This might
happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–circuiting
can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the
battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery pack or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and
protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs,
immediately wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface,
you should take it to the nearest Authorised Repair Centre for inspection before continuing to use it.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC,
2011/65/EU, 2012/19/EU and subsequent modifications, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations
about environment.
☞NOTE: In order to guarantee an adequate operating autonomy, when replacing the battery pack the handy
terminal checks the battery energy level. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, handy terminal does not turn on.
In this case, either substitute the battery pack with a charged one (sufficiently charged) or insert handy terminal
into a powered cradle or plug it into the direct power supply.
