NOTE: Before installing the Battery, read "Battery Safety" on this and the fol-
lowing pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable bat-
tery packs to ensure maximum performance.
WARNING: Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the reader.
When the battery is used in devices other than the designated product, it may
damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an
abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or
ignite and cause serious injury.
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious
injury if exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings
listed below:
• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery
pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on
it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub
the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left
untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
CAUTION: Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature
range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks
supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can
damage the device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and pro-
tection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature
locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside
cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode
or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of perfor-
mance and a shortened life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on
induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing
the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or
shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack's label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
CAUTION: Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully
discharged status should be avoided.
