WARNING
serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk
of explosion. Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or heat; do not
place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, dryer, high pressure containers, on induction cookware or similar device. Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Datalogic Mobile approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, explode or ignite.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal for power devices different from this mobile computer.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack or the connecting object

NOTE
In order to avoid wasting energy, the GSM module is off by default. If you need to have GSM working, the module must be powered on using the Wireless Communications applet (see par. 4.7.2).
Suspending the terminal powers off the GSM radio and drops the connection. When the terminal resumes, if the connection was managed by Microsoft Internet Explorer, it is automatically restored, otherwise, the radio connection must be manually re-initialized.
The GSM voice capability of this mobile computer has to be addressed to occasional use, in well covered areas. If the coverage is poor, the voice quality can be highly affected.
Calls can be made or received using the Elf as a phone handset, by the Elf headset or by a Bluetooth® headset.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION (SAR)

This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the below FCC IDs: FCC ID: U4G-0040.
This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
