Frequency of Operation – FCC and IC
2.4 GHz Only
The available channels for 802.11 b/g operation in the US are Channels 1 to 11. The range of channels
is limited by firmware.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements -FCC
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
LED Devices
Complies with IEC/EN60825-1:2001 & EN 62471: 2008 and IEC62471: 2006 Class 1 LED output.
LED Output – this device contains two LEDs for illumination and aiming.
Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.
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.
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipement.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (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 minimise the potential for inter¬ference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation
of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
RF Exposure Guidelines
Safety Information
Reducing RF Exposure – Use Properly
Only operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.
International
The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic
fields from radio devices. For information on “International” human exposure to electromagnetic fields refer
to the Motorola/Symbol Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at http://www.motorola.com/doc.
Batteries
Taiwan - Recycling
EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) requires dry battery producing or importing firms in
accordance with Article 15 of the Waste Disposal Act are required to indicate the recycling marks
on the batteries used in sales, giveaway or promotion. Contact a qualified Taiwanese recycler for proper
battery disposal.
Battery Information
Motorola/Symbol 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 Symbol batteries is 30 days,
regardless if the battery was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or bar
code scanner. For more information on Symbol batteries, please visit:
http:/mysymbolcare.symbol.com/battery/batbasics1.html
Statement of Compliance
Motorola/Symbol hereby, declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of Directives 1999/5/EC, 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
Declaration of Conformities may be obtained from http://www.motorola.com/doc.
Battery Safety Guidelines
• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be between +32 ºF
and +104 ºF (0 ºC and +40 ºC)
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger may present
a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a
battery or a charger, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be connected to products
that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery
to overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to
water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle
or near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
