The HT650 series contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal operation, user maintenance or during prescribed service operations. The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the HT650 series' optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the unit.
iv CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user. Battery Notices The HT650 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used. When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 4 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and backup battery. Recharge the HT650 through the following: 1. Plug the USB charging cable to the HT650 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable. 2. Place the HT650 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the docking station. 3. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe for up to 0.5 hour. To prevent data loss, do not leave the HT650 uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. See First Time to Charge the Main Battery & Backup Battery for more details. Note: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500 charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures. If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion battery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of properly. The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:  Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory.  Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.  Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.
v Battery charge notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 10°C to 45°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range. Further, to protect and avoid battery from inflating, the battery is detected for thermal protection and will not be charged when the temperature of battery is over 50 degrees. Do not leave the terminal for a long time in the charging cradle and do not charge the battery with a cable long, which will shorten the battery life and cause battery expanding/ballooning. The unit should not be subject to very high temperature, excessive moisture, and direct heat. Avoid the battery from being fully charged and staying in a high temperature environment. Avoid terminal or spare battery from staying in a hot vehicle. For prolonging the storage time, keep the battery at a 40% charge level. Lithium ion batteries oxidize least when they are stored at the state of 40% charge. 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 -25°C to 60°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges. Warranty The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use:  HT650 – 1-year limited warranty.  Accessories – limited warranty depending upon your local dealer’s definition Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, dam-aged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user. Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the warranty.

19 Chapter 3 Power system Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack The HT650's batteries can be charged via the USB or serial communication cable, or via the optional docking station - both using the included AC adaptor. Please charge the battery for at least 4 hours per session to ensure a full charge. Please note that the first time charge should be for at least 16 hours (see the description below). Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the First Time When first charging the HT650, please allow at least 16 hours to fully charge both the main and backup batteries. Data loss can occur if the backup battery is not adequately charged. A properly charged backup battery can store data for up to 2 hours without power from the main battery. This is not recommended. Please make sure an adequately charged main battery or AC power is presented and try not to rely on the backup battery for other than unusual or emergency situations. To prevent data loss due to backup battery failure (always a slim possibility), please minimize the amount of time that the backup battery has to operate without the main battery pack installed or while disconnected from AC power. Environment Consideration for Charging 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 -5°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
20 Power Status Indication When the "Main Batteries Very Low" icon appears, charging the main battery pack as soon as possible is highly recommended in order to avoid system shutdown at an awkward moment. “Backup Battery Low” Icon When the "Backup Battery Low" icon appears, it indicates that the backup battery is low and needs to be charged. Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Automatic shutdown of the HT650 The HT650 will enter idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input. In default setting, the HT650 will automatically turn itself off if it remains idle for 3 minutes and when there is no external charging power applied. Pressing the power button will return the HT650 to the same point at the time of automatic shutdown. Do not leave the terminal for a long time in the charging cradle and do not charge the battery with a cable long, which will shorten the battery life and cause battery expanding/ballooning. The unit should not be subject to very high temperature, excessive moisture, and direct heat. Avoid the battery from being fully charged and staying in a high temperature environment. Avoid terminal or spare battery from staying in a hot vehicle. For prolonging the storage time, keep the battery at a 40% charge level. Lithium ion batteries oxidize least when they are stored at the state of 40% charge. To save the battery power, it is better to turn off wireless mode. Please follow the steps below to turn off the wireless mode
21 Storage and Safety Precautions Batteries should be stored in an open environment and placed where there is no risk of accidental shorting or other damage. Although charged Li-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be reduced due to back up and internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Li-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -13°F and 140°F (-25°C to 60°C). Backlight Setting The backlight for color display is user-defined. There are two tabs – one for Battery Power and the other for External Power. Field Description Dim Backlight if Select how many minutes you want to elapse before the backlight dims.

For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.  Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized. Before beginning installation, carefully read the following:  Because you will be restarting your computer during installation, save your work and quit all programs before you begin.  To set up your communication settings, the HT650 serial cable is required to connect the HT650 to your host computer.  If you run the Windows NT® operating system with a service pack, you will be informed during setup that you may need to reinstall the service pack. Try connecting first, and if unsuccessful, reinstall the latest service pack. Requirements To synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be installed on both your desktop computer and the HT650 terminal. The HT650 terminal is installed with ActiveSync and shipped. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync 3.7 on your desktop computer. To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, please link to Microsoft website to get free download driver.
27 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync Follow the installation procedure below to install Microsoft ActiveSync, connect your HT650 to your desktop computer, and establish a partnership for synchronization, if required. Download the executable program “msasync. exe” from the Microsoft web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/ downloads/activesync35.asp. Execute this program. Select the folder into which Microsoft ActiveSync will be installed. If you choose not to download into the displayed default folder, click the Change button. After you’ve selected the folder, click Next to set up Microsoft ActiveSync. After you’ve installed Microsoft ActiveSync and restarted your computer, you’ll see the screen: Using the USB, plug the HT650 into a communication port on your desktop computer. Turn the HT650 on. Click the Next button. Microsoft ActiveSync should recognize your HT650 and configure your communication port. If a message appears indicating that it is unable to detect a connection, click the Cancel button and manually configure the communication settings. When the HT650 is initially connected to a PC, the following screen appears prompting you to set up a “Partnership”. Setting up a Partnership is required if your HT650 is to be synchronized with other computers and/or terminals. Otherwise select No.
28 Now select synchronization settings. Currently the HT650 can support “Synchronized Files”. Different HT650 cannot share the same Device Name if more than one terminal is to be connected to the same PC via a “Partnership”. The default Device Name assigned to the HT650 is “WinCE”. It is important to specify a different name for each terminal if more than one terminal is to be connected to the same PC. When ActiveSync displays the following screen, assign each terminal its own unique name. Click the Next button and follow the instructions to set up a partnership between the HT650 and your desktop computer. This partnership allows you to synchronize information between the two computers. When the configuration process is complete, you’ll see the screen. Synchronization will be initialized and will take place if you’ve chosen to synchronize periodically or upon connection. Note: Your desktop computer can create a partnership with multiple HT650. Also, The HT650 can create a partnership with up to two desktop computers.
