Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the Falcon):
•Press
<Power> to resume (wake up).
• Put the Falcon into a dock.
•Press the
<Scan Trigger> to wake up the unit (handled version only).
When a battery pack is fully discharged while the unit is in suspend mode, the
Falcon remains in the suspended mode until the battery pack is charged or
external power is supplied via the dock or a power cable.
Battery Warnings and Cautions
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the Falcon. When the
battery is used in devices other than the Falcon, it may damage the battery or
reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may
WARNING
cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
Lithium-Ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury
if exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed
below:
• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
• Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack
to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or
otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the
eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the
battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE
CAUTION
Battery Warnings and Cautions
Always charge the battery at 32°–113°F (0°–45°C) temperature range.
If you remove the battery pack or it becomes completely discharged, there is a 30
minute window in which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery fails. If your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM
memory will be lost. If your back-up battery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time available.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic Mobile reseller. The use of any other power supplies can
damage the Falcon and void your warranty. Refer to
Appendix A for the correct
Power Supplies and Accessories.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode
or ignite.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside
unventilated areas such as cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to
generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result
in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on
induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the
battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or
appears abnormal in any other way.
Datalogic Mobile recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs
to ensure maximum performance.
