FOR USA

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.

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 interference that may cause undesired operation.

FOR CANADA

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of Industry Canada.

Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux appareils numeriques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le material brouilleur: "Appareils Numeriques," NMB-003 edictee par l'Industrie.

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

The use of any batteries or charging devices, which are not originally sold or

manufactured by CipherLab, will void your warranty and may cause damage to human body or the product itself.

DO NOT disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.

DO NOT expose the scanner or the battery to any flammable sources.

For green-environment issue, it's important that batteries should be recycled in a

proper way.

Under no circumstances, internal components are self-serviceable.

The charging and communication cradle uses an AC power adaptor. A socket outlet

shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Make sure there is stable power supply for the mobile computer or its peripherals to operate properly.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

This cradle is intended for indoor use only. It may do damage to the cradle when

being exposed to extreme temperatures or soaked wet.

When the body of the cradle gets dirty, use a clean and wet cloth to wipe off the dust.

DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner. Always keep the cradle dry.

If you shall find the cradle malfunctioning, write down the specific scenario and

consult your local sales representative.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain

should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of

2.5 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain

should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
