Europe-European Union Notice
Radio products with the CE alert marking comply with the R&TTE
Directive (1999/5/EC) issued by the Commission of the European
Community. Compliance with this directive implies conformity to the
following European Norms (in brackets are the equivalent international
standards).
• EN 60950-1 (IEC60950-1) - Product Safety
• EN 300 328 Technical requirement for radio equipment
• ETS 301 489 General EMC requirements for radio equipment.
Products that contain the radio transmitter are labeled with CE alert
marking and may also carry the CE logo.
Safety
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and the
P37B.
• Do not attempt to service the P37B yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
• Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable and that
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will
reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a
carrying case.
• Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are
approved for use with this P37B. Use of another type of battery or AC
adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.
• If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• When you move the P37B between environments with very different
temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or
within the P37B. To avoid damaging the P37B, allow sufficient time for
the moisture to evaporate before using the P37B.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain
relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it
evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you
connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented
and aligned.
Battery Safety
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local authorities for disposal instructions.
Notices
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is
possible that the PDA may not power-on due to battery discharge as a
result of storage.
In the above situation, insert the PDA into the cradle and connect the
AC adapter. Recharge the unit for 3 hours in order to fully charge its
battery. The backup battery will recharge from external power when
the AC adapter is connected.
Battery charge notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you
are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient
at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you
charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 50°C. charging
batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries
and shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and safety notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several
months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal
resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use.
Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between-20°C to
50°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of
this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room
temperature ranges.
