For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United

States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated

safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy

emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the

safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or

result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes

into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local

dealer for replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the Holster

providing a minimal spacing of 2.5 cm. from the body to the back of the

terminal/antenna. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure

compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar

accessories that maintain a 2.5 cm. separation distance between the

user’s body and the back of the terminal, including the antenna. The use

of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not

contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that

do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure

compliance requirements, and should be avoided.

WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

SPT 1800 Series

Scanning 1-D Bar Codes

The SPT 1800 has an integrated laser bar code scanner which

allows you to collect data by scanning bar codes if your unit is

configured with a scanning application. To scan bar codes:

1. Start your scanning application.

2. Aim the scanner at a bar code.

3. Press either the right, left or center scan trigger. Make sure

the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green

scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful

decode.

Scanning PDF417 (2-D) Bar Codes

To scan a PDF417 bar code (with a 2-D configured terminal):

1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press either the

right, left, or center scan trigger.

2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the

rows of the symbol.

3. Manually raster the scan line by slowly moving the scanner

up and down so it scans the entire bar code at a rate of one

inch per second.

Center Scan Button

1/2” 1/2”

Scan Line

Quick Reference

A clicking noise lets you know the 2-D bar code is being decoded.

If there is no clicking noise when you are scanning, the bar code

is not being scanned properly.

When decoding a very long 2-D bar code, you may notice a slight

delay between the time when the terminal completes the decode

and the time when the data is displayed on the screen. The first

beep you hear indicates a successful decode. The second beep

you hear indicates the data has been received by the host. Do not

attempt to decode another bar code until you hear the second

beep and see the green LED indicating a successful decode.

To improve PDF decoding:

•Check that PDF417 scanning is enabled.

•Make sure the scan line extends at least 1/2” past the left and

right edges of the bar code.

•Hold the scanner closer for denser symbols, farther away for

larger symbols.

•Make sure you scan the top and bottom rows of the symbol.

•Be patient - it may take a few swipes to decode the symbol.

The bar code is completely decoded when you hear a tone,

followed by a short, high tone beep. The green LED stays lit for

three seconds or until the next trigger pull.

Initiating a Network Connection

Before using the terminal, set up the Spectrum24, CDPD (Cellular

Digital Packet Data) or GSM (Global System for Mobile

Communication) network connection. Refer to the

SPT 1800

Series Product Reference Guide

, p/n 72-51337-xx for setup

instructions.

A small cursor blinks at the top right-hand corner of the screen

when the terminal activates a radio connection (Spectrum24 or

CDPD). A blinking cursor does not appear for a GSM radio

SPT 1800 Series

connection. A cursor does not appear if you are not connected to

the radio.

Maintaining the SPT 1800

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using

your SPT 1800:

•Do not scratch the screen. Use the supplied stylus or a plas-

tic-tipped pen intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen.

Never use a pen or pencil or other sharp object on the

screen.

•Although your SPT 1800 is water and dust resistant, do not

expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period. Treat

your SPT 1800 as you would a pocket calculator or other

small electronic instrument.

•The touch-sensitive screen of your SPT 1800 contains glass.

Do not subject your SPT 1800 to any strong impact.

•Protect your SPT 1800 from temperature extremes. Do not

leave it on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it

away from heaters and other heat sources.

•Do not store or use your SPT 1800 in any location that is ex-

tremely dusty, damp or wet.

•If the surface of the SPT 1800 screen becomes soiled, clean

it with a soft lens cloth moistened with a diluted window-

cleaning solution.

WARNING: FCC RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements for a portable transmit-

ting device, this device should be used in hand-held, hand-operated configu-

rations only. The device and its antenna should generally maintain a

separation distance of 20cm or more from a person’s body; except for the

hands and wrists because of higher exposure limit for extremities. This device

is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating configurations

generally do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or

holsters next to a person’s body.

GSM Regulatory Warnings

Emergency Calls

Please contact your service provider for information about the availability of

Emergency Calls.

The GSM version supports Emergency Calls with or without a SIM card fitted.

However, as for any other voice call, you must be registered on a GSM network. If

you are outside the coverage of a GSM network, or another factor such as insufficient

power occurs, then Emergency Call will not work.

The procedure for generating an Emergency Call will depend on the application/

service currently in use and the network you are connected to. It is recommended that

you familiarize yourself with the appropriate procedures required to generate an

Emergency Call.

When connected to the Emergency Operator you should have details of your

telephone number and location on hand.

Safety Information

The GSM version emits radio frequency signals in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900

MHz frequency bands. The following recommendations are in line with guidelines

concerning public exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy, issued by

various European and International agencies.

Unlike a mobile phone, the transmitter antenna on the GSM version would not (under

normal circumstances) be close to the head, and therefore high field strength is not

usually encountered. The use of the GSM version is similar to using a mobile phone

with a handsfree unit. However, take care to avoid placing any part of your body in

proximity to the GSM version antenna when the GSM radio is switched on. In

Quick Reference

particular, it is recommended that you do not grasp the antenna while the GSM

version is operating as this will not only significantly degrade its performance, but also

expose your hand to the maximum radio frequency power emitted by the GSM

version.

Safety on the Road

The GSM version should not be used by the driver of a vehicle when in motion.

Always safely park your vehicle before turning your attention to your device. Always

adequately secure your device in a moving vehicle, and do not leave it loose on a

passenger seat. Remember that in the event of a sudden stop an unsecured device

could cause injury to any occupants as well as damage to the vehicle. If your vehicle

has an airbag, do not place any objects, including your device, in the area around the

airbag or where the airbag deploys. Any item propelled by an activated airbag could

cause serious injury and damage.

When receiving calls on a public highway, mobile units are not permitted to use

“warning” devices, which permit the vehicles' horn to sound or the light to flash.

Safety on Aircraft

You are required by law to switch off all electrical apparatus when boarding and

leaving an aircraft and at any other time when instructed to do so by a member of the

crew. You are not allowed to use any mobile phone, as well as the GSM version, at

any time when on board an aircraft, as such use may constitute a danger. In such

circumstances please ensure that your GSM version is switched off, disabling

attempts to log onto networks.

Pacemakers

It is recommended by pacemaker manufacturers that a minimum of 20cm (8 inches)

be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid any

possible interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent

with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology

Research.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of

such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss

solutions.

Persons with pacemakers:

•Should always keep the phone more than 20cm (8 inches) from their pace-

maker when the phone is turned on.

•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for inter-

ference.

SPT 1800 Series

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the GSM

version immediately. This may be achieved most rapidly by switching off the device

using its on/off button.

Other Medical Devices

The GSM version transmits radio frequency energy and as such has the potential to

interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult your physician or the

manufacturer of the device to see if any particular device has sufficient protection.

It is good practice to completely turn off the GSM version within a hospital or other

medical facility where sensitive medical equipment is in use. In some countries, this

is a legal requirement applying to all mobile phones and related equipment.

Effect on Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic

systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the manufacturer

or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer

of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Switch off the GSM version in any facility where posted notices require mobile phones

to be switched off.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres

Do not take a GSM version into any area with a potentially hazardous atmosphere.

The GSM version is not rated for use in such environments and therefore such use

may pose a threat of explosion.

Such areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They may include below decks

on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities; fuel filling stations; areas where fuel

odors are present such as in a tent or caravan where cooking or heating by bottled

gas is taking place; fuel transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquid petroleum

gas (lpg); areas where the air contains concentrations of grain, dust or metal

powders; and any area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

engine.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interference with any blasting operations, turn off your GSM version when in

a blasting area and other areas where the use of radio equipment is prohibited. Obey

all signs and instructions.

Laser Devices

Symbol products using lasers comply with US 21CFR1040.10, and IEC825-1:1993,

EN60825-1:1994+A11:1996. The laser classification is marked on one of the labels

on the product.

Quick Reference

Class 1 Laser devices are not considered to be hazardous when used for their

intended purpose. The following statement is required to comply with US and

international regulations:

Caution: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright

light source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the light

beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be harmful.

Battery Caution

Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with

the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dis-

pose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
