General Safety Guidelines; Honeywell Battery Safety - Honeywell Vocollect Hardware Reference Manual

General Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when working with Honeywell electrical equipment:
• Grounded equipment must be plugged into an outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances.
• Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
• Do not use plug adapters.
• Check with an approved tester or qualified electrician if you believe an outlet may not be properly grounded.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground.
• Do not expose electrical equipment to rain or wet conditions.
• Do not touch plugs or tools with wet hands.
• Do not abuse the cords; do not carry equipment by its cord and never pull a cord to remove its plug from an outlet.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
• Use only approved extension cords.
When using a scanning device or imager, do not look directly into the beam.

Honeywell Battery Safety

Improper use of the battery may cause heat, fire, explosion, damage, or reduced battery capacity. Read and follow the
handling instructions for the battery before and during use.
The following are general cautions and guidelines only, and as such may not include every possible usage scenario.
The manufacturer will not be liable for actions taken or accidents caused by any use not documented below.
Warning:
• Do not disassemble, open, drop (mechanical abuse), crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred a battery.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into a battery, immerse or expose to
water or other liquids, or expose to fire, excessive heat including soldering irons, or put in a microwave
oven.
• Only use a battery in the device for which it is specified.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow metallic or conduction objects to touch any of the battery contacts
simultaneously.
• Replace a battery only with another battery that has been authorized by Honeywell for the product you are
using. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
• Always replace a battery in a clean, dry environment.
• Unit should be turned off when replacing its battery.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with skin or eyes. If contact is
made, flush the affected area with large amounts of water and seek immediate emergency medical advice
and care.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery is swallowed.
• If at any time you witness a battery starting to distend or swell, smoke, or become hot to the touch,
discontinue the charging process immediately and disconnect the battery and charger. Observe it from a
safe place, preferably outside of any building or vehicle for approximately 15 minutes.
