If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your
eyes from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or lights to flash,
on receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.
IMPORTANT: Before installing or using, check state and local laws regarding windshield
mounting and use of equipment.
For Safe Installation:
• Do not put your phone in a location that obstructs the drivers vision or interferes with the
operation of the Vehicle.
• Do not cover an airbag.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give full attention to driving. Check the
laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands free device.
3. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
5. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the road.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency services, (9-1-1 in the US,
and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident
or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! The call can
be made regardless of any security codes and depending on a network, with or without a
SIM card inserted.
7. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the
Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your device / phone safely when driving.”
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such
as grain, dust, or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.
Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline
staff. If your device offers a 'flight mode' or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use in
flight.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.

Zebra rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards
within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing
replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold,
harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall
battery quality may occur. Store batteries at half of full charge in a dry, cool place, removed
from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte
leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge level should be verified at
least once a year and charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is one year, regardless if the battery was
purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer. For more information on
Zebra batteries, please visit: http://www.zebra.com/batterybasics.

Use with Hearing Aids
When some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and wireless devices also
vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of interference you may want
to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to
assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Zebra terminals that are rated have the rating
included on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at http://www.zebra.com/doc.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device
and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may
not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device
is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of
the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in
them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for
your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.
