Laser Information
The unitech PA820 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 PA820 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 PA820 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.
- iv -
Battery Notices
The PA820 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 PA820 battery
by doing the following:
1. Plug the USB charging cable into the PA820 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC
adapter into the power jack of the USB charging cable.
2. Place the PA820 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 PA820
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.
-v-

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.
- vi -
Warranty
The following items covered under the unitech Limited Warranty are free from
defects during normal use:
PA820 – 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.

Turning ON the PA820 for the First Time
After you have initially charged your device for about 16 hours, the device is
ready to be used. You can now start up your device. You can then calibrate the
display, learn some basic stylus usage, and set up the system time zone, date
and time.
Power-On Button
Turn ON your device by pressing the power button on the top-right corner.
Installing the Battery
WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled
improperly. 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 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.

hours. After that, you can charge the terminal for 4 hours to recharge the battery
to full capacity. Charge the terminal using the USB charging cable or the
docking station.
CAUTION: Turn ON the backup battery switch before charging the battery.
Data you entered may not be properly stored until the built-in
backup battery has been adequately charged.
CAUTION! Operating the terminal 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
fully charge the backup battery to avoid data loss in RAM memory.
1. Press and hold the release button on both sides of the USB charging cable
and connect it to the PA820 (1).

Performing a Hardware Reset
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. Long press the power button until the Power Menu appears.
2. Tap Reset to perform Warm boot.
- 30 -
Method 2: From Windows Embedded
1. Tap Start → BootMode.
The BootMode Screen appears.
2. Tap Warm Boot.
The system is reset and you will lose
unsaved data.
- 31 -
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.
NOTE: When you perform hard reset, the data and
time settings will not be retained. Formats,
preferences and other settings are restored to
their default factory settings.
- 32 -
Performing a Clean Boot
Performing clean boot will set the terminal to the factory default settings.
To perform a Clean Boot, long press the power button until the Power Menu
appears. Tap Reset and the terminal will perform warm boot. After the Startup
display appears, press and hold left trigger button and then press backspace
key. You will see a warning message 'Delete all data. Press Enter to start,
any key to leave' appears at bottom of the screen. Press Enter key to start
