Laser Information
The unitech PA600 II 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 II 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 II 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 dis-
charge 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
II:
1. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA600 II and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC
adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable.
2. Place the PA600 II into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A 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 2 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the PA600 II 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 tempera-
ture or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of
10°C to 45°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the bat-
teries and shorten their charging life cycle.
iv
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 tempera-
tures 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 tempera-
ture.

Getting Started
This section explains how to install and charge the battery, how to check battery sta-
tus, how to turn on the PA600 II, and how to calibrate the screen.
Installing the Battery
WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improp-
erly. DO NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts,
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.
The battery compartment is displayed:
NOTE: The plastic battery tab makes it easy to remove the battery.

Charging the Battery
Before using the PA600 II for the first time, you need to charge it for about 16 hours.
After that, you can charge the PA600 II 4 hours to recharge the battery to full capacity.
Charge the PA600 II using the USB charging cable or the docking station.
CAUTION! Operating the PA600 II for the first time without the AC adapter, and
without fully charging the backup battery may result in loss of data
stored in RAM memory. When the main battery is removed, the
backup battery retains RAM data in memory for 2 hours, please
charge the battery for the period to avoid the data loss in RAM mem-
ory.
NOTE: Turn the backup battery switch on before charging the battery. Data you
entered may not be properly stored until the built-in backup battery has
been adequately charged.
Charging the Battery using the USB Cable
1. Press and hold the connector button on the USB charging cable and connect it
to the PA600 II (1).
2. Plug the AC adapter cable into the power jack on the USB charging cable (2).
3. Connect the AC adapter into an electrical outlet (3).

Checking the Battery Status
If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a status icon appears on the
device screen indicating low or very low battery status. In both cases, perform an Active-
Sync operation to back up your data, then recharge your device as soon as possible.
If the battery level reaches low status, the device will enter a sleep mode and cannot
be powered up until the battery is charged. Windows Mobile 5.0 devices will retain
installed applications and data when the main battery is completely drained for
extended periods of time.e
