Regulatory Compliance Statements FCC Warning Statement 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 with radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with 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. 1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting. 3. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Operation on the 5.15 - 5.25GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Therefore, it will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and 5.725 –5.850 GHz band when associated with an access point (AP).

Class II and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The PA690 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 prescribed service operations. The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the PA690 series' 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, including binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses, with will increase eye damage. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user.

v Copyright 2011 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. Battery Notices The PA690 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack and a Ni-Mh backup battery. Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of no use. When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 12 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and backup battery. Recharge the PA690 battery by doing the following: 1. Plug the USB charging cable into the PA690 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter into the power jack of the USB charging cable. 2. Place the PA690 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter into the power jack of the docking station. 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 PA690 uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. See the Charging the Battery unit on for more details. Note: To guarantee optimal performance, it is advised that rechargeable batteries be replaced every year, or when 500 charge/discharge cycles are achieved. 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 lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following:  Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a full discharge. 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 half of the one with frequent recharges.

vi Copyright 2011 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. Battery charge notice It is important to consider the environment temperature when 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 0°C to 40°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. This 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. 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 deplete more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is recommended to store batteries at room temperature. Warranty The following items covered under the Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use:  PA690 – 1-year limited warranty.  Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty. Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged 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.

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 when the main battery pack is removed or completely discharged. This backup battery will keep the data and system setting for up to 2 hours if the main battery is removed. NOTE: To enable the backup battery cell to provide backup power supply, charge your device with the main battery pack for at least 16 hours. NOTE: To power on the device properly, make sure to replace the battery compartment cover after installing the battery. 1. Open the battery compartment cover by sliding the tabs on both sides in the direction of the arrows shown and lift the cover up. 2. Push up the backup battery switch to the “ON position by using a stylus to turn on the backup battery. 3. Slide and position the battery pack, making sure the battery contacts are aligned with the contacts in the compartment. 4. Use your thumb to snap the battery in place.
