1.2 User and Product Safety
 Never use strong pressure on the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD
panel can crack and possibly cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken, never touch the liquid inside, for such contact can irritate the skin.
 Although the PT-90 mobile computer meets IP65 standards for water and dust
resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Conditions exceeding IP65 standards could result in water or other contaminants entering the PT-90.
 Use only the approved AC Adapter with the PT-90. Use of an unapproved AC
Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or an electrical shock to the user.
 Be sure that only authori zed suppl i e rs are allowed to disassemble and reassemble the
device. If the device or parts are damaged due to wrong handling, the product and parts warranty is void.
 Always make back-up copies of all important data. This is easily done using a cable
or single cradle (optional) to transfer data to the computer. The manufacturer is not liable for any data damage or data loss caused by deletion or corruption while using this device, or due to a drained battery.
 Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury if
abused. Please follow the safety warnings listed below.
Warnings:
 Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery.  Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.  Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.  Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery pack with a
hammer, step on the battery pack or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
 Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.  Do not expose battery pack to liquid, or allow the battery contacts to get
wet.
 Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
 Do not discharge the battery pack using any device except for the specified
device. When it is used in devices other than the specified devices, the battery pack can be damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
 In the event the battery pack leaks and fluid gets into the eyes, do not rub the
eyes. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause eye damage.

Avoid temperature changes. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation
to form on the mobile computer. Using the mobile computer while condensation is present can cause malfunction. Always wait until the condensation clears naturally before attempting operation.
Do not leave the mobile computer in an area where static charge is accumulated or
near devices where electromagnetic emission is generated.

2.3 Installing, Replacing and Charging Batteries
Wrong use of batteries may cause serious damage to the mobile computer or to the cradle. To avoid damage, it is important to follow the instructions.
Caution:
Required batteries:
The mobile computer needs both main battery and backup battery for operation.
Main Battery
The rechargeable battery pack is for normal operations and data storage. When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a charged battery pack.
 Insert a fully-charged battery pack before use of the mobile
computer.
 Never remove the main batteries while the mobile computer is turned
on. Doing so may lose data that is not saved in the mobile computer.
 Use only recommended batteries.
When other batteries are used, defects or other problems can occur. Before installing (new) batteries, please make sure you are using the recommended batteries.
 Use the right charger for batteries.
The rechargeable Li-polymer the cradle when either it is in the mobile computer or alone in the charging slot in the back of the cradle.
 The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack
causes it to gradually lose its ability to maintain a charge. If your battery pack requires frequent charging, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.
 A fully charged backup battery can maintain memory (RAM)
contents for about 15 minutes, even when the battery pack is removed.
 Strictly follow the instructions for installing, charging, and removing
the batteries.
The products are not warranted for damage, defects, malfunction, or loss of data, resulting from incorrect use of batteries.

User’s Manual 10
Backup Battery
The built-in battery is for memory backup.
How to charge the Argox rechargeable battery pack in the cradle
1. Make sure that the Argox rechargeable battery pack is inserted in the mobile computer. When the mobile computer is placed in the cradle, the rechargeable battery pack charges automatically.
2. If you have a spare Argox battery pack, you can replace the empty battery pack with a full battery pack for continuous mobile computer operation. Put the empty battery pack in the charging slot of the cradle. The LED (CHG) on the cradle flashes Red and turns Green when the battery is fully charged.
When to replace or recharge the main battery
There are two conditions that you need to replace the main battery.
1. As soon as possible after the battery indicator
2. Before using the mobile computer when it has not been used for an extended period.
Notes:
 Charging the Main and Backup Batteries for the First Time
It may take up to 8 hours to fully charge the empty backup battery. The first time charge should be for at least 8 hours to insure a proper charge.
 When charging the battery pack, the Power LED on the Mobile
computer turns Red. After the battery pack is fully charged, the Power LED turns green.
