The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of your terminal.

STANDARD LASER SAFETY REGULATIONS
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both CDRH 21 CFR 1040
and EN 60825-1 at the date of manufacture.
For installation, use and maintenance, it is not necessary to open the device.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous

CAUTION

visible laser light.

The product utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser
beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as
one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser
beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors,
etc.

o manutenzione.

L'utilizzo di procedure o regolazioni differenti da quelle descritte
nella documentazione può provocare un'esposizione pericolosa

ATTENZIONE

a luce laser visibile.

Il prodotto utilizza un diodo laser a bassa potenza. Sebbene non siano noti danni
riportati dall’occhio umano in seguito ad una esposizione di breve durata, evitare di
fissare il raggio laser così come si eviterebbe qualsiasi altra sorgente di luminosità
intensa, ad esempio il sole. Evitare inoltre di dirigere il raggio laser negli occhi di un
osservatore, anche attraverso superfici riflettenti come gli specchi.

DEUTSCH

Die folgenden Informationen stimmen mit den Sicherheitshinweisen überein, die von

RADIO COMPLIANCE

In radio systems configured with portable terminals and access points, the
frequencies to be used must be allowed by the spectrum authorities of the specific
country in which the installation takes place. Be absolutely sure that the system
frequencies are correctly set to be compliant with the spectrum requirements of the
country.
The Radio Card used in this product automatically adapts to the frequencies set by
the system and does not require any parameter settings.

For RadioReady versions, the correct conformity label for your radio
model must be applied to the DL9600 Viper™ terminal to indicate
that the terminal is in conformity with the directives related to the

NOTE

DL9600 Viper™/RF version.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 DL9600 VIPER™ TERMINAL DESCRIPTION

Belonging to the Datalogic Mobile@work™ family of rugged portable terminals, the
DL9600 Viper™ is a powerful pistol grip terminal, based on PC-like architecture and
RadioReady concept. Viper™ has been conceived to match the demanding
requirements of harsh environments found in industrial applications, with no
compromises in terms of reliability and robustness. For this reason its state-of-the-art
technology is completely protected from mechanical shocks and sealed against water
and dust penetration.

Built to be an open system, Viper™ supports the most widespread mobile standards,
such as IEEE 802.11b and OpenAir, depending on the PC card used making
communication management extremely straightforward in both new and existing
installations.

The various laser scanning models offer excellent reading features including a 2D
code model that is optimized for aggressive performance on high-density PDF417
labels, RSS and other 2-D symbols including Composite Codes, and Micro PDF.

Furthermore, an innovative user interface, featuring one of the largest LCD display in
existence on a pistol grip terminal, 1/4 VGA, and a spacious, intuitive keyboard,
improves efficiency at the point of data collection.

In order to maximize functionality, Viper™ has been developed to be modular:
batteries, keyboard, scanning engine and WLAN can be shaped to meet all the
requirements of the application.

Since industrial environments are characterized by day-long use, Viper™ has been
designed with the user in mind: lightweight and well balanced together with a hand­fitting shape provide the best user comfort in its product class.

Communication management to the legacy system takes advantage of the new
software product line that includes terminal emulation connectivity for OS/400, Unix,
Microsoft Windows platforms, including the most used ERPs, such as SAP R/3.

Viper™ is fully supported by the Mobile@work™ CD-ROM containing a vast
assortment of Software Development Tools and Utility Programs included in the
package.
