Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care
facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your
wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

Batteries
Charging
To charge the device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be between + 32 º F and + 104 º F (0 º C and + 40 º C).
Please follow the local regulations when disposing of re-chargeable batteries.
Taiwan - Recycling
EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) requires dry battery producing or importing firms in accordance
with Article 15 of the Waste Disposal Act are required to indicate the recycling marks on the batteries used in
sales, giveaway or promotion. Contact a qualified Taiwanese recycler for proper battery disposal.
Battery Information
Motorola/Symbol rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors
affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur.
Store batteries at half of full charge in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting
of metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge level should be
verified at least once a year and charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was purchased separately
or included as part of the mobile computer or bar code scanner. For more information on Symbol batteries,
please visit: http:/mysymbolcare.symbol.com/battery/batbasics1.html
Battery Safety Guidelines
• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be
between +32 º F and +104 º F (0 º C and +40 º C)
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a battery or
a charger, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be connected to products that
bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water
or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has
been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support to arrange
for inspection.
