Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design
and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous
substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances Di-
rective (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexava-
lent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market”
in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Inc. indi-
cates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the
battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signi-
fies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below,
a Psion product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed
on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to-date. In ad-
dition, changes are periodically incorporated into new editions of the publication.
Psion Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the product(s) and/or
the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be responsible for
any damages including, but not limited to, consequential damages, caused by reliance on the
material presented.
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to
physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

Approvals and Safety Summary
Safety Summary
Important Safety Notices
The 8580/8590 vehicle-mounts were designed and built according to modern
technology and accepted safety regulations. However, the operation of the vehicle-
mounts can endanger personnel or third parties and cause damage to the device and
other material assets when for example the device is:
• operated by untrained or uninformed personnel
• not operated correctly
• operated and maintained incorrectly
The operator commitments in regards to safety (accident prevention regulations,
work protection) are to be followed.
Initial Operation of the Device
Area of Application
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety
systems where system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endanger-
ment of human life. The operator shall take full responsibility for using the
device in these situations.
The device cannot be used in combination with safety functions for machines
and equipment which have to conform to the requirements of EN 954-1.
Installation of the 8580/8590 on a vehicle must be performed in accordance with
Chapter 4. Specifically, special attention must be paid to the various electrical
potentials of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a chassis that is connected to one of
the battery supply lines (DC+ or DC-), while most electrically driven forklifts
vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. Refer to
Chapter 4.4 for required wiring of vehicle power and fusing for the 8580/8590.
Choice of Location
The ambient conditions at the point of installation must comply with the device's
protection class.
Installation/Initial Operation
The device is not supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed
externally. The power supply connector is therefore used as a disconnector.
Therefore it needs to be easily accessible. If it is necessary to establish a fixed

Approvals and Safety Summary
VI 8580/8590 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
connection, an easily accessible disconnecting device (e.g. a switch such as a
circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device. Ensure that the power
cable is laid so that it is mechanically protected.
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Installation of the 8580/8590 on a vehicle must be performed in accordance with
Chapter 4. Specifically, special attention must be paid to the various electrical
potentials of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a chassis that is connected to one of
the battery supply lines (DC+ or DC-), while most electrically driven forklifts
vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. Refer to “Vehi-
cle Applications (such as Forklifts)” on page 46 for required wiring of vehicle
power and fusing for the 8580/8590.
Radio Performance
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified
by each separate country. 8580/8590 users must verify this themselves.
Risk of Injury
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure
that there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Supply of Fresh Air
The 8580/8590 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat
which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing.
For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable
to dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
If the 8580/8590 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheat-
ing and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken
into account for the concrete application area.
Power Supply/External Peripheral Devices
Operation in an Emergency
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable, or housing, or ingress
of liquid or other foreign bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately
from the power supply. Contact technical support staff at once.

Approvals and Safety Summary
VII 8580/8590 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
Protection of the Power Supplies
T HERE ARE TWO POWER INPUT VERSIONS OF THE 8580/8590, AND SPECIAL PRECAU -
TIONS MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN CONNECTING THE POWER TO THE TERMINAL !
If 12V is connected to a 24/48 V 8580/8590, the unit will not start up, but the unit
will not be damaged in any way.
If more than 16V is connected to a 12V 8580/8590, the unit WILL BE dam-
aged; THE VEHICLE-MOUNT WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION.
Danger of Electrocution When Cleaning/Servicing the Device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the vehicle-mount from the
power supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
Charging the Vehicle Battery
While charging the vehicle battery, either the 8580/8590 must be disconnected
from the battery, or the operator must determine that the maximum allowed input
voltage of the vehicle-mount is not exceeded. (see “Power Supply” on page 15
and “Power Supply” on page 45).
Wiring
Do not use the 8580/8590 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged
parts replaced immediately!
Connecting or Disconnect Cables During Storms
Never connect or disconnect cables during an electrical storm.
External Peripheral Devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recom-
mended or sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal
injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB
devices), the 8580/8590 must be disconnected from the power supply! Other-
wise, this could seriously damage both the vehicle-mount and the connected
devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are
switched on at the same time or after you start the 8580/8590. If this is not possi-
ble, please ensure that the 8580/8590 is adequately protected from power leakage
caused by an external device.
