the instructions in this manual.
Before installing the Battery, read "Battery Safety" on this and the following pages. Data-
logic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum
performance.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. 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.
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range.
Never charge the device battery in a closed space where excessive heat can build up.
As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of bar-

code scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
Close to the limits of the working temperature, some battery performance degradation may
occur.
Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very low charge.
Even of the storage temperature range is wider, it is recommended to store the device and
the batteries at environmental temperature, in order to achieve the longest battery life.
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.

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 bat-
tery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expec-
tancy.
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.
