Regulatory Compliance Statements
FCC Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The radiated
output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When connecting an external antenna to the
device, the antenna shall be placed in such a manner to minimize
the potential for human contact during normal operation. In order to
avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than
20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
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. 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment to 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.
The maximum SAR value reported is 0.119. => the SAR value to be
define after SAR test
Canada-Industry Canada (IC)
The wireless radio of this device complies with RSS 139 & RSS 210
Industry Canada. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B conforme á la norme NMB-003
du Canada.
Europe-European Union Notice
Radio products with the CE alert marking comply with the R&TTE
Directive (1999/5/EC) issued by the Commission of the European
Community. Compliance with this directive implies conformity to the
following European Norms (in brackets are the equivalent international
standards).
• EN 60950-1 (IEC60950-1) - Product Safety
• EN 300 328 Technical requirement for radio equipment
• ETS 301 489 General EMC requirements for radio equipment.
Products that contain the radio transmitter are labeled with CE alert
marking and may also carry the CE logo.
iii
Safety
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and the
H35B.
• Do not attempt to service the H35B yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable
and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or
stepped on.
• Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is
inside a carrying case.
• Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are
approved for use with this H35B. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.
• If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that
the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension
cable.
• When you move the H35B between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation
may form on or within the H35B. To avoid damaging the H35B,
allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using
the H35B.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its
strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the
connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Battery Safety
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check
with local authorities for disposal instructions.
iv
Notices
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is possible that the H35B may not power-on due to battery discharge as a
result of storage.
In the above situation, insert the H35B into the cradle and connect the
AC adapter to the cradle. Recharge the unit for 3 hours in order to fully
charge its battery.
The backup battery will recharge from external power when the AC
adapter is connected.
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 0°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
50°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.

Using the RFID Scanner
The H35B has an RFID scanner which reads RFID code labels with
excellent performance.
About RFID
RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a data collection technology
that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag is made up of an
RFID chip attached to an antenna. Like bar codes, RFID tags identify
items, but unlike bar codes, which must be in close proximity and line
of sight to the scanner for reading, RFID tags do not require line of
sight and can be embedded within packages. The H35B can read
RFID tags at a distance of approximately 10 centimeters.
Selecting an IPSM Profile
Before using the RFID scanner, you must select an IPSM profile.
Follow these instructions.
1. Press the power
button on the
H35B to turn on
the device.
2. On the Microsoft Windows CE
desktop, tap My Device.
