Laser Information
The Unitech HT650 series is certified 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 HT650 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 HT650 series' 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
iii

iv
specified 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 eyeglasses worn by
the user.
Battery Notices
The HT650 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will
discharge after an extended period of not being used.
When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 4 hours in order to fully charge the
main battery and backup battery. Recharge the HT650 through the following:
1. Plug the USB charging cable to the HT650 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the
power jack of the USB charging cable.
2. Place the HT650 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the
power jack of the docking station.
3. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe
for up to 0.5 hour. To prevent data loss, do not leave the HT650 uncharged with the main
battery removed for an extended period. See First Time to Charge the Main Battery &
Backup Battery for more details.
Note: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500 charge/discharge
cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It is normal that the battery balloons
or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause
harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe
battery disposal procedures.
If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion battery, the battery is at
the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of
properly.
The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is
used. Conserve the battery life through the following:
 Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several
partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deep one. Recharging a
partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory.
 Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery
at a 40% charge level.
 Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period
because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least shorter
than half of the one with frequent recharges.

v
Battery charge notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion battery pack
is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler
environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 10°C to 45°C.
Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their
charging life cycle.
CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will increase the
internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe.
Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe
charging temperature range. Further, to protect and avoid battery from inflating, the
battery is detected for thermal protection and will not be charged when the
temperature of battery is over 50 degrees.
Do not leave the terminal for a long time in the charging cradle and do not charge
the battery with a cable long, which will shorten the battery life and cause battery
expanding/ballooning. The unit should not be subject to very high temperature,
excessive moisture, and direct heat. Avoid the battery from being fully charged and
staying in a high temperature environment. Avoid terminal or spare battery from
staying in a hot vehicle. For prolonging the storage time, keep the battery at a 40%
charge level. Lithium ion batteries oxidize least when they are stored at the state of
40% charge.
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 -25°C to
60°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is
recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
Warranty
The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during
normal use:
 HT650 – 1-year limited warranty.
 Accessories – limited warranty depending upon your local dealer’s definition
Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, dam-aged by
accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user.
Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the
warranty.
