Regulatory Compliance Statements FCC Statement This is a FCC Part 15 Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Canadian Compliance Statement This Class B Digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numerique de la classe B respecte les exigences du Reglement sur le material broilleur du Canada. The device is certified to the requirements of RSS-139-1 for 2.4 GHz spread spectrum devices. European Conformity Statement Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the R&TTE 1999/5/EC and EMC 89/336/ EEC directives. Laser Information The Unitech PA982 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 PA982 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 PA982 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. Notices This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is possible that the Unitech PA982 may not power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage. In the above situation, plug the PA982 to the USB charging cable which is with DC in port or put the unit into the Unitech PA982 Cradle (with 12V/2A AC-DC adapter), and recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery. The backup battery will charge from external power or the main battery (if the main battery still has enough power to turn on). In the event the main battery is fully charged, refrain from using the PA982 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery. Backing-up data by backup battery only without the main battery installed in battery compartment may take as long as 6 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data protection failure due to backup battery failure, do not leave the PA982 without the rechargeable battery pack installed, or without connection to AC power for an extended period of time. 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 temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of -5°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. 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 be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges. ii Table of Contents PA982 Ultra Rugged Mobile Computer Preface About This Manual Regulatory Compliance Statements ............................................................................. i FCC Statement ........................................................................................................................ i Canadian Compliance Statement ............................................................................................ i European Conformity Statement ............................................................................................. i Laser Information ................................................................................................................. ii Notices ...................................................................................................................................... ii Battery Charge Notice ............................................................................................................. ii Storage and Safety Notice....................................................................................................... ii Chapter 1 Getting Started Introducing the PA982 .......................................................................................................
