SAFETY NOTICES
RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE AND SPECIFIC ABSOR PTION R ATE (SAR) INFORMATION
This mobile computer model CP60G has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted usi ng standardized methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are
all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
SAR data information for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg av eraged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for example European
Union, Brazil and Australia):
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested by CIPHERLAB for use at the body
is 1.35 W/kg (10g).
FOR UNITED STATES
THESE PRODUCT MODELS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The CP60 series mobile computer has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your mobile computer is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
international scientific organizations through pe riodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
individuals, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
product transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used fr equency bands. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various product models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The highest reported SAR values for body-worn accessory and simultaneous transmission
are 0.76W/kg, and 1.27W/kg respectively for CP60G. The highest reported SAR values for
body-worn operation are 1.03W/Kg for CP60. For body-worn operation, the product has
been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts
in the vicinity of the product.
Before a WWAN model is available for sale to th e public in the US, it must be tested and
certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure*. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone
model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all
mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the government requirement
for safe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on file at the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
FCC ID Q3N-CP60G. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery is settled on the main board inside the mobile computer. It is a 15 mAh
rechargeable Ni-MH battery. When the main battery is absent or depleted, backup battery
takes over to feed the mobile computer. Without main battery, a fully charged backup
battery retains the data in the DRAM and holds the system in suspensio n for 30 minutes (as
long as wireless modules are inactive).
The backup battery is rechargeable by the external power (through a power adapter) or
main battery pack. It takes about 5 hours to charge it to full. See
Note: When removing the main battery pack, actual data retention time will depend on the
backup battery level. Check backup battery level before replacing the main battery
to ensure your data is retained.

1.4.2. CHARGE BATTERIES
Due to shipment, it is likely that the main battery and backup battery won’t be fully charged
when you receive the package. Before setting the mobile computer to work, charge the
main battery to full by direct charging via a power adapter (with the help of a Snap- on
Charging & Communication Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle).
Some key facts about charging batteries:
Charging Time
Main battery: It takes approximately 4 hours to charge the standard size main battery, and 6
hours to charge high capacity battery to full (via direct charging with power adapter). The
battery charging LED above the touchscreen (the one to the right) lights red or orange during
charging (depending on the battery level at the moment), and lights green when the mobi le
computer is nearly 100% charged.
Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by both main battery and power adapter.
It takes about 5 hours to charge it to full, however it does not need to be fully charged for the
mobile computer to work.
Charging Temperature
It is recommended that batteries be charged at room temperature (18°C~25°C) for optimal
performance.
Charging stops when temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 35°C. In this case the battery
charging LED will be continuously blinking in red.
Power Consumption
When all radios (802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, mobile data (HSPA+), GPS) are active on battery
power, main battery level drops substantially.
In order to prevent the system from shutting down due to depletion of the main battery, we
suggest that you keep a fully charged battery for replacement or have the mobile computer
access the radios on external power.
The following guides how to charge batteries.

summarized under Power label as “Good”, “Low” or “Very Low”. Precise battery l evel is
also shown in percentage under the Main batteries label.
Depending on whether the main battery is being charged, charging status will show as
“Main battery”, meaning the mobile computer is on battery power, “Charging”, meaning
that the main battery is being charged by the adapter, or “External”, meaning that the
adapter is connected but the main battery is finished charging.
Power adapter is not connected.
Power is connected and main battery is
being charged.
Main battery level descriptions are as follows:

LOW BATTERY ALERT
When main battery level drops below 40%, the mobile computer prompts “Main Battery
Low” for a recharge. When further reduced to under 20%, the mobile computer prompts
“Main Battery Very low” to solicit your immediate action.
Low battery may incur shutdown to the mobile computer and cause DRAM data damage.
Always save data before running short of power or keep a fully charged battery at hand for
replacement.
Note: Constant usage of the mobile computer at low battery level can affect battery life. For
maximum performance, recharge the battery periodically to avoid battery drain out
and maintain good battery health.
When main battery drains out, the mobile computer shuts down automatically. Backup
battery takes over to hold DRAM data for 30 minutes if it is fully charged. When this occurs,
replace main battery pack immediately to avoid data loss.
