iv Copyright 2011 unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. Laser Information The Unitech PA968II 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' 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 eyeglasses worn by the user. Battery Notices The PA968II is equipped with a Lithium-Ion 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. Recharge the PA968II through the following: 1. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA968II and plug the 12V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable. 2. Place the PA968II into the docking station and plug the 12V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the docking station.
vCopyright 2011 unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 PA968II uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. See Charging the Battery on page8 for more details. Note: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500 charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. 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 power lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:  Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deep one. 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 shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges. Battery charge notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever 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 10°C to 45°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could dam-age the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which 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.
vi Copyright 2011 unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges. Warranty The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use:  PA968II – 1-year limited warranty.  Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty. Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, dam-aged 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.

Chapter 5 Advanced Settings 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 1. Remove the stylus from its holder. 2. Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located at the rear side of the terminal. 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.
