About This Manual
Laser Information
The unitech PA600 series is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of
DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and
Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The PA600 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 PA600 series's
optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the
back of the unit.
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 eye glasses worn by the user.
Battery Notices
This unit is equipped with a 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 16 hours in order to fully
charge the main battery and backup battery. There are two ways to recharge PA600:
3. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA600 and plug the 5V/2A AC-DC adapter
to the power jack of the USB charging cable.
4. Place the PA600 into the docking station and plug the 5V/2A AC-DC adapter to
the power jack of the docking station.
For more details, refer to page 8, Charging the Battery.
If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe
for up to 6 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the PA600 uncharged with the
main battery removed for an extended period.
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.
iii
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 60°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.

or dispose the battery pack in fire or water. DO NOT attempt to open
or service the battery pack. Dispose of used batteries according to
local recycling guidelines in your area.
A backup battery cell is embedded into your device to prevent data loss in instances
when the removable battery pack is removed or completely discharged. This backup
battery cell will keep the data and system setting for up to 6 hours if the main battery is
removed.
NOTE:
To enable the internal battery cell to provide backup power supply,
charge your device with the main battery pack for at least 16 hours.
1. Open the battery compartment by pushing the latch in the direction of the arrow
and lifting up.

Synchronizing Information
All files created on the device are stored in My Document/PA600 My Document folder
(if the designated device name is PA600). You can view files by double-clicking the
PA600 My Documents icon on your computer.
If you have enabled file synchronization, your PA600 files are automatically synchronized in the My Documents folder on your computer, unless a different name was chosen for PA600.
Synchronization Options
Synchronization options can be modified, including when you synchronize and what
gets synchronized. In the Mobile Device window, click Tools → Sync Options.
For each type of information, the synchronization process can be hastened by limiting
the amount of data to be synchronized. To do this, select a service and click the Settings button. After enabling a service, you must close and reopen the ActiveSync.
Using ActiveSync to Exchange Files
You can use ActiveSync to exchange information from your device to your computer
and vice versa. Changes you made to the information on one location will not affect
the information on the other one. If you want to automatically update information on
both your device and computer, synchronize the information instead.
You can copy two types of information to your device: files and Pocket Access Windows CE Store information.
The procedure below only applies to copying files. Refer to the ActiveSync Help on
your computer for instructions on how to copy Pocket Access Windows CE Store
information.
NOTE:
Files created on your computer may need to be converted by ActiveSync so that they can be viewed and edited on your device, and vice
versa.
To copy files:
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. In ActiveSync on your computer,
click Explore.

Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot cuts off power of your device, erasing all records and entries, deleting all
programs you have added, and restoring the device to default factory settings.
Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When
you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a
storage card.
NOTE:
When you perform a hard reset, the date and time settings are not be
retained. Formats, preferences, and other setting are restored to their
default factory settings. Data stored in the flash storage are retained.
Follow these instructions to perform a cold boot.
1. Press and hold the Func key and TAB
key.
2. While holding the Func key and TAB
key, insert the tip of the stylus into the
reset hold on the back of the PA600.
