NOTE: Before installing the Battery, read "Battery Safety" on this and the
following pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of recharge-
able battery 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 warn-
ings listed below:
• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the bat-
tery 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.
