BATTERY SAFETY GUIDELINES

SKORPIO™ X5
WARNING: Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by
authorized personnel and following this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury
if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explo-
sion.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other heat source; do not
place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery pack
inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in
microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in high pressure containers, on induc-
tion cook surfaces or similar devices.
Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of perfor-
mance and a shortened life expectancy.
To power the cradle, use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use
of an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may cause
product damage and may cause heat, an explosion, or fire.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and com-
bustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this device to power devices other than this
device.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or
storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels
hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive
device and negative device. This might happen, for example, when you
carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–circu-
iting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal
strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the devices may damage the
battery pack or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on
it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts, pressures, or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack.
The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if dam-
aged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, contact of the liquid to the
skin or eyes. If contact occurs, immediately wash the affected area with
water and consult a doctor.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device or the battery is
dropped, especially on a hard surface, you should take it to the nearest
Authorized Repair Center for inspection before continuing to use it.
