E-1

Safety Precautions

Warning

Dust and Moisture

• Though the Handheld Printer Terminal is dust and water splash resistant, its

options including the battery pack are not. Keep loose metal objects and containers filled with liquid away from your Handheld Printer Terminal and the options. Also, never handle the Handheld Printer Terminal and the options while your hands are wet.

Laser Light

• This product with the integrated laser scanning module scans bar codes

using laser light. Never look directly into the laser light or shine the laser light into the eyes.

Warning

Interference with the Operation of Other Equipment (Using Wireless Data Communication Function)

• Keep your Handheld Printer Terminal at least 22 centimeters (85/8") away

from anyone wearing a pacemaker. Radio waves emitted by the Handheld Printer Terminal can affect the operation of a pacemaker.

• Before the use in aircraft, be sure to consult with cabin crew for interference

the Handheld Printer Terminal emits.

• Before the use in medical facility, be sure to consult with the facility

management or the manufacture of a specific medical equipment that the Handheld Printer Terminal may interfere with.

Foreign Objects

Location

LCD Screen

E-2

Caution

• Ta ke care to ensure that metals or combustible objects are not inserted into the

openings of the Handheld Printer Terminal or its options, and not to allow moisture to get inside of them.

• Install the cradle properly on a flat and stable surface so that it cannot fall

down onto floor.

• Never apply strong pressure to the screen or subject it to strong impact.

Doing so can crack the screen or LCD panel glass.

Caution

Printer

• Do not touch the areas around the printer motor or head since they can

become very hot. Doing so can cause burns.

• Touching any of the gears while they are turning with unprotected hands can

cause personal injury. Be careful not to come in contact with turning gears.

• Contact with the blade installed in the paper outlet can cause personal injury.

Be careful not to touch the blade.

E-3

Safety Precautions

Lithium-ion Battery Pack

• Never use the Handheld Printer Terminal and its option including the battery

pack and battery next to open flame, near a stove, or any other area exposed to high heat, or leave them for a long period of time in a vehicle parked in direct sunlight.

• Never use the battery pack with any device other than the Handheld Printer

Terminal.

• Never dispose of the battery pack by incinerating it or otherwise expose it to

heat.

• Never transport or store the battery pack together with metal objects that

may result in shorting positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the battery pack. Be sure to place the battery pack in its case whenever transporting or storing it.

• Never throw the battery pack or otherwise subject it to strong impact.

• Never pierce the battery pack with nails, hit it with a hammer, or step on it.

• Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery pack.

Danger

Warning

E-4

• Never place the battery pack in a microwave oven or any other high-voltage

device.

• If the amount of time period the battery pack can serve becomes

considerably short even after it has been fully charged for the specified time period, stop using it.

• Should the battery pack start to leak or emit a strange odor, immediately

move it away from any nearby flame. Leaking battery fluid is combustible.

• Should fluid from the battery pack accidentally get into your eyes or on the

skin, do not rub it. Immediately rinse it off with clean tap water and then consult a physician.

Caution

• Replace only with the same type of battery pack recommended by CASIO.

Dispose of used battery packs according to the local regulation.

• Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.

Power Supply / AC Adaptor

• Never modify, sharply bend, twist, or pull on the power cord.

• Never use a detergent to clean AC adaptor and its power cable, especially on

the plug and the jack.

• When using the battery charger and Bridge Satellite Cradle, be sure to use

the respective AC adaptors.

• Never pull on the power cord when unplugging it. Always hold the plug

when unplugging it from the wall outlet.

• Never touch the plug while your hands are wet.

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning the

battery charger and Bridge Satellite Cradle.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet whenever leaving the battery

chargers and the cradles unattended for a long period.

• The housing of the AC adaptor can become warm during normal use.

Warning

Caution

• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet and clean

any dust that builds up between the prongs of the plug.

Dust built up between the prongs can lead to the danger of fire.

E-5
