SAFETY NOTICES

RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE AND SPECIFIC ABSOR PTION RATE (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 using standardized methods wi th 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 averaged 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 periodic 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 frequency 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 the 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.

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 circa 4 hours to charge 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 mobile computer is near 100% charged.
Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by the main battery. 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 depleted 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.
15
CP60 Mobile Computer (WEH) Reference Manual

The onscreen keyboard supports entering a series of diacritics for European languages by tapping a modifier key.
The onscreen keyboard auto-opens in some applications while in others it doesn’t unless you tap on a field that accepts input.
In case the onscreen keyboard doesn’t open automatically, tap the keyboard icon
on
the softkey bar to open it. Onscreen keyboard opens and readies to enter lowercase letters, numbers, and a few
frequently used symbols.

1.6. TOUCH CONTROL

The mobile computer’s LCD is overlaid by a resistive touch panel and thus forms a resistive touchscreen. Since a resistive touchscreen locates the user’s touch by the force appli ed on it, by operating with the stylus one can apply minimum force to trigger actions from the touchscreen.
Touch control is one of the main ways to interact with the mobile computer. It provides the ability to manipulate icons, buttons, menu commands, the onscreen keyboard, or any onscreen items.

1.6.1. USE TOUCHSCREEN

The mobile computer comes with a stylus. Use it to touch-operate the mobile computer. Apply the gestures below to work on the touchscreen:
Tap – Touch any item on the screen such as an application icon or a setting icon to work
on it, or touch any key on the onscreen keyboard to type it.
Tap and hold – Touch an item on the screen and do not release until an action occurs. Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without release, move the item
onscreen until you reach the target.
Flick – Quickly move the stylus across the surface of the screen. Note when the stylus
contacts the screen, do not pause so you don’t drag an item instead. Flick is helpful, for example, for scrolling up or down a list.
Double-tap – Touch quickly twice on certain s creens to zoom. For example, double-tap
a section of a webpage in a web browser to zoom that section so it fits the widt h of the screen. Some applications such as map-info applications support picture zooming with double-tap.
Rotate screen – On most screens, the screen rotates as the mobile computer changes
its orientations between upright and sideways.

DATA CAPTURE

Although highly converged, the mobile comptuer is also a dedicated barcode reader. Reader combinations are as follows:
CP60 / CP60G Mobile Computer: equipped with a (laser) 1D reader or 2D imager CP60R / CP60GR Mobile Computer: equipped with a (laser) 1D reader or 2D imager, pl us
an HF RFID reader A number of symbologies are supported and data about them can be decoded and collected. Done with data collection, the mobile computer outputs the collected data either locally or
on a host computer so data storage, advanced data analysis and more special services can be performed.
This chapter describes how to collect data with reader modules. Note: The mobile computer allows four forms of data capturing, either by laser scanning,
2D imaging, RFID data reading or capturing colored images via the digitial camera. The first three types of data capturing are described in this chapter. For digital camera usage, see
Camera.
