Battery Information
Symbol rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within
the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long your battery can operate or be stored before needing
replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of your battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh
environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery
qualitymayoccur. Store your batteries dischargedinadry,cool place, removedfromtheequipment
to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries
for one year orlonger, they should be charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte
leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
An indication that your Symbol battery needs replacement is when normal run time begins to
diminish. When you consistently experience significant loss of run time, replace your battery.
Standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was
purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or bar code scanner.

Health and Safety Recommendations
For Vehicle installations and use
1. An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
2. Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your
eyes from the road.
3. Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a"to do" list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
