Regulatory Compliance Statements
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment 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 radiate 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 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.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

About This Manual
i
unitech is a member of Oracle Embedded Software Licensing Program

ii
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 and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
RoHS Statement
This device conforms to RoHS (Reduction Of Hazardous Substances)
European Union regulations that set maximum concentration limits on
hazardous materials used in electrical and electronic equipment.
Laser Information
The unitech RH767 series is certied in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/
CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2
products are not considered to be hazardous. The RH767 series contains internally a Visible
Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the
above regulations. The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser
light during normal operation, user maintenance or during prescribed service operations.
The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the RH767 series’s optional
laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the unit.
CAUTION!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specied herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments
with the scanner will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include
binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses. This does not include eye
glasses worn by the user.
Notices
This unit is equipped with battery packs and backup battery. It is possible that the unitech
RH767 may not power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage.
In the above situation, plug the RH767 to the USB charging cable which is with DC in port or
put the unit into the unitech RH767 Cradle (with 12V/2A AC-DC adapter), and recharge the
unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.
The backup battery will charge from external power or the main battery (if the main battery
still has enough power to turn on). In the event the main battery is fully charged, refrain from
using the RH767 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery.
Backing-up data by backup battery only without the main battery installed in battery
compartment may take as long as 6 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data protection
failure due to backup battery failure, do not leave the RH767 without the rechargeable battery
pack installed, or without connection to AC power for an extended period of time.
NOTE:
The rst time you use the RH767, you must turn on the backup battery switch. See turn
on the backup battery & grip battery switch on page 6 for more information.
●

iii
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the
Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room temperature or
slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 40°
C. Charging batteries outside of the specied range could damage the batteries and shorten
their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity
may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require
recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°
C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is
recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
IMPORTANT NOTE
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 1.5cm between the radiator & your body.

to connect the RH767 to a PC, how to turn on the RH767 for the rst time, how to install an
optional Wireless Local Area Network PCMCIA card, and how to calibrate the screen.
Installing the Battery
WARNING!
There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly. DO
NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose the
battery pack in re or water. DO NOT attempt to open or service the battery pack.
Dispose of used batteries according to local recycling guidelines in your area.
A backup battery cell is embedded into your device to prevent data loss in instances when
the removable battery pack is removed or completely discharged. This backup battery cell
will only support the system for a maximum of 72 hours.
NOTE:
To enable the internal battery cell to provide backup power supply, charge your device
with the main battery pack for at least 16 hours.
The rst time you use the RH767, you must turn on the backup battery switch. See turn
on the backup battery & grip battery switch on page 6 for more information.
The first time you use the RH767, you must activate the LCD heater switch. When
activated, LCD heater will turn on automatically when the temperature is lower than -10°C.

Charging the Battery
Before using the RH767 for the rst time, you need to charge it for about 16 hours. After that,
you can charge the RH767 every day to recharge the battery to full capacity. Charge the
RH767 using the synchronization power cable or the docking station.
CAUTION!
Operating the RH767 for the rst time without the AC adapter, and without fully
charging the backup battery may result in loss of data stored in RAM memory.
When the main battery is removed, the backup battery retains RAM data in
memory for 72 hours; charge the battery as soon as possible to avoid the data
loss in RAM memory.
Charging the Battery using the Synchronization Power Cable
1. Connect the synchronization power cable connector to the RH767 (1).
2. Plug the AC adapter cable into the power jack on the USB connector (2).
3. Connect the AC adapter into an electrical outlet (3).

2. Slide the device into the docking station until it clicks into
place.
3. The connection is secure when the bottom edge of the
device is aligned with the docking station, and the LED
indicator on the device lights up red.

Checking the Battery Status
If the main battery level becomes low in the
course of normal use, a status icon appears
on the device screen system tray indicating
low or very low battery status. In both cases,
perform an ActiveSync operation to back up
your data, then recharge your device as soon
as possible. If the battery level reaches low
status, the device will enter suspend mode;
if the battery level reaches very low status,
the device will enter deep sleep mode. In this
case, you have about 72 hours to recharge
your device after which you risk losing all data
on your device’s internal memory.
When the backup battery charge is low, an icon
appears in the system tray indicating that
you should replace the backup battery as soon
as possible.
Connecting the RH767 to a PC
Use the synchronization power cable to connect the RH767 to a PC to use with ActiveSync.
1. Connect the USB connector jack to the RH767 (1).
2. Plug the USB connector into a serial port on the PC and connect the AC adapter into the
USB connector (2).
3. Connect the AC adapter into an electrical outlet (3).
