Wireless Devices - CountriesCountry RoamingThis device incorporates the International Roaming feature (IEEE802.11d) which will ensure the product operates on the correct channels for the particular country of use.Ad-Hoc Operation (802.11a Only)Ad-Hoc operation is limited to Channels 36-48 (5150-5250 MHz). Use of this band is restricted to Indoor Use Only, any other use will make the operation of this device illegal.Frequency of Operation - FCC and IC (US/Canada versions)The use in the UNII (Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure) band 1 5150-5250 MHz band is restricted to Indoor Use Only; any other use will make the operation of this device illegal.The available channels for 802.11 b/g operation in the US are Channels 1 to 11. The range of channels is limited by firmware.Radio Frequency Interference Requirements - FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Radio Transmitters (Part 15)This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

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 discharged 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, they should be charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery. Batteries must be charged within the 32° to 104° F (0° to +40° C) ambient temperature range.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.
