Important Notices
Do not use any batteries or charging devices which are not originally sold

Do not replace the battery with an incorrect type, to avoid the risk of heat

generation, fire, or explosion.
Do not disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.

Do not touch the contact pins of the battery pack.

Do not expose the handy terminal or battery to any flammable sources.

Do not expose the handy terminal to extreme temperatures or soak it in

water.
 Do not use any pointed or sharp objects against the screen surface.
Do not use the styluses which are not supplied, to prevent possible scratches

to the touch screen.
Water residue on the touch screen may cause abnormal behaviors or the fall

of its sensitivity levels.
On the surface of the terminal and the barcode reading window, the fog or

water drops caused by low temperatures may influence barcode reading.
Do not use bleaches or cleaners to clean the device. Use a clean, wet cloth

instead.
BATTERY
The main battery may not be charged to full for shipment. Charge the main

battery to full before using the handy terminal for the first time.
Main battery: The main battery powers the handy terminal to work. It takes

approximately 4 hours to charge an empty main battery to full. The charging LED
above the screen will light up in red while charging and will turn green when charging
is complete.
When the main battery is removed, RTC retention will be maintained for at

least 30 minutes.
Backup battery: The backup battery is mounted on the main board. Its role is

to temporarily keep the handy terminal in suspension when the main battery is drained
out so data in DRAM will be retained. The backup battery takes approximately 3.5
hours to charge to full by the main battery or power adapter.
It is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C)

for optimal performance.
Battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or

exceeds 40°C.
In order to prevent system from shutting down after the battery is drained

out, keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the handy terminal to
an external power.
If there are drippings or dust on the device or battery pack, wipe them away

with a soft clean cloth before battery replacement.
Turn off the power before battery replacement.

If you want to put away the handy terminal for a period of time, remove the

battery pack from the handy terminal's battery compartment. Store the handy
terminal and battery pack separately.
Recycle batteries in a proper way for the green-environment issue.
