Laser Information

The Unitech PA692 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 PA692 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 PA692 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.

Battery Notices

The PA692 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 PA692 battery

by doing the following:

1. Plug the USB charging cable into the PA692 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC

adapter into the power jack of the USB charging cable.

2. Place the PA692 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 PA692

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.

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:

 PA692 – 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.

Performing a Hardware Reset

You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., the device no

longer responds to the buttons or tapping on the screen).

A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a

computer.

This will restart your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and

entries are retained after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may be

lost.

Performing a Warm Boot

Method 1: From Hardware

1. Remove the stylus from its holder.

2. Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located at the right

side of the scan button.

The system is reset and you will lose unsaved

data.

Performing a Cold Boot

A cold boot will erase all data and all programs you have added, and will

restore the device to the default factory settings.

Never perform a cold boot unless a warm boot 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.

Method 1: From Windows Embedded

1. Tap Start → BootMode.

The BootMode Screen appears.

2. Tap Cold Boot.

The system is reset and you will lose all data

including all files in the RAM memory.

retained. Formats, preferences and other settings are restored to their default

factory settings.

Performing a Clean Boot

Performing clean boot will set the terminal to the factory default settings.

To perform the clean boot, press the hard reset button with a stylus and press

the left trigger button and backspace key; alternatively, tap software coldboot

Disinfecting and Cleaning MCA Models

Introduction

Whether you are using Unitech MCA models in healthcare environments and

need to disinfect after every patient or in a factory warehouse where the device

is routinely exposed to dust, dirt or grease, your device will need regular

cleaning. This document details how you can safely clean your Unitech MCA

models daily, as well as the monthly maintenance routine that will help keep

your devices up and running.

Approved Cleaning Agents

The cleaning agent you select must contain active ingredients from the

following list:

 lsopropyl alcohol

 Bleach/sodium hypochlorite

 Hydrogen peroxide

 Mild dish soap

 Ammonium Chloride

Cleansers that contain any active ingredients not listed above should not be

utilized.

Known harmful ingredients

The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on Unitech MCA

models and should not come in contact with the device:

 Ammonia solutions

 Compounds of amines or ammonia

 Acetone

 Ketones

 Ethers

 Aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons

 Aqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions

 Ethanolamine

 Toluene

 trichloroethylene

 Benzene

 Carbolic acid

 TB-lysoform

Special notes regarding the use of vinyl gloves in the work

environment

Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not

recommended for medical use and may harm the housings. Our MCA models

should not be handled:

 While wearing vinyl gloves containing phthalates, or

 After vinyl gloves containing phthalates are removed and before hands

are washed to remove contaminant residue

Special notes on hand sanitizers utilized in the work

environment

Some hand sanitizers commonly used in the healthcare environment may

contain the harmful ingredients listed above, such as ethanolamine. Hands

must be completely dry before handling the MCA models to prevent

inadvertent contamination with known harmful ingredients and damage to the

plastics.

Daily Cleaning and Disinfecting

Following are the cleaning and disinfecting instructions for environments that

require daily or more frequent cleaning to prevent the spread of germs,

including healthcare workers who need to disinfect their MCA models after

each patient visit and retail and other shift workers who share devices.

1.) Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above

or use pre-moistened wipes:

a. Never apply liquid directly to the MCA models.

b. Do not let liquid pool around the display window or any other area on

the device.

2.) Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom --

do not wrap the device in the cloth or pre-moistened wipe.

a. Special instructions when cleaning the front of the device:

 Be sure to clean the keys and between the keys (use a

cotton-tipped applicator to reach between the keys).

 After cleaning, immediately dry the display with a soft

non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.

3.) Allow the unit to air dry before use.

MONTHLY ‘DEEP CLEANING MAINTENANCE

Keep your Unitech MCA models and cradle in good working order with a

regular comprehensive cleaning routine to remove the natural build-up of dirt

that occurs with everyday use on connectors and the scanner exit window as

well as the main surfaces of the device.

1.) Housing: Follow the instructions for daily cleaning and disinfecting above

to give the housing a general cleaning.

2) Scanner exit window: Wipe the scanner exit window with a lens tissue or

other material suitable for cleaning optical materials such as eyeglasses.

3.) MCA model connector:

a. Remove the main battery from MCA model and close the battery door.

b. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

c. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth

across the connector on the Unitech MCA model. Do not leave any

cotton residue on the connector.

d. Repeat at least 3 times.

e. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any

grease and dirt near the connector area.

f. Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and repeat steps c, d and e. (Note:

use dry swab only, no alcohol.)

4.) Cradle connector:

a. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle.

b. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

c. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator along the pins of

the connector. Slowly move the applicator back-and-forth from one

side of the connector to the other. Do not let any cotton residue remain

on the connector.

d. Rub all sides of the connector with the cotton-lipped applicator.

e. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the

tube/nozzle about 1/2 inch away from t the surface. (Caution: When

using compressed air, always wear eye protection, do riot point nozzle

at yourself and others make sure the nozzle or tube is pointing away

from your face: and read warning label on compressed air product.)

f. Remove any lint left by the cotton-tipped applicator.

g. If grease and other dirt are found on other areas of the cradle, use a

lint free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to remove.

h. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature

and humidity) for the isopropyl alcohol to air dry before applying power

to cradle.

Note on drying time: If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is

required. Warm temperature and dry humidity require less drying time.
