The devices may only be operated when fully assembled.
In hazardous areas, the devices must not be wiped or cleaned with a dry
cloth.
The device must be switched off immediately if it is likely that it can no
longer be operated safely as a result of damaging impact or general
peculiarities (such as ingress of water or other fluids, temperatures outside
of the specified range, etc.).
General statutory requirements or health and safety rules and accident
prevention guidelines and environmental laws must be adhered to (e.g.
the German Occupational Health and Safety regulation).
Users must not open the device.
Users must not make any changes to the device. Components may not be
exchanged or replaced. If non-specified components are used, explosion
protection is no longer guaranteed.
Ensure safe handling with firm footing and sufficient room for movement.
If the enclosure is in any way damaged the device must be removed from
the hazardous area immediately.
In accordance with IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-17, operators of electrical
installation in hazardous areas are obliged to have them serviced by
qualified electricians.
Do not insert any sharp objects into the enclosure or any other openings of
the handheld barcode scanner. Any openings at the device may not be
covered or blocked.
The device and any accessories must be properly disposed of, i.e. as legally
specified, for example by a certified company.
If the handheld scanner is not used properly, the operating permission for hazardous areas may lapse
for the device in question.
Non-adherence to the instructions will void any warranty.
For the full commission of the handheld scanner, the programming information contained
in the manual issued by SICK AG (www.SICK.com) is also required.
2.3 General notes of caution

Electrical plants are subject to certain regulations concerning installation
and operation (e.g. RL 99/92/EG, RL 94/9EG, or the national rules such as
IEC 60 079-14 and VDE 0100).
In the hazardous area it is the operator's responsibility to carry out any
repair and maintenance in compliance with applicable rules.
Devices fitted with laser fall under standards US 21 CFR 1040.10 and EN 60825-
1. The laser's classification is stated on a plate affixed to the device. Class 1
lasers are deemed inherently safe during normal use, but users must not look
directly into the light source. The following declaration is required by American
and international laws:
Usage of control elements, adaptations or the use of procedures that differ
from these instructions may result in a dangerous exposure to laser beams.
Class 2 lasers use a visible low-voltage LED. As with any source of bright light,
such as the sun, the user should avoid looking directly into the light. Brief
exposure to a class 2 laser is deemed not dangerous.
Provided the device is operated and assembled according to instructions and
the ambient requirements are being met continuous maintenance is not
necessary.
Operators of electric equipment in hazardous areas are obliged to have them
serviced by qualified electricians (IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-17).
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or by persons trained and
commissioned for this purpose by the manufacturer.
The device is closed ex-factory. It may only be opened in the factory by specifically trained
personnel.
For instructions on how to install the software at the PC please refer to the
manual issued by SICK.
Before operating the device you must ensure that all necessary components
are available.

Do not replace the battery in hazardous areas.
Incorrect handling may result in the termination of the
operating permit.
The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the
Bluetooth handheld scanner. Loosen the screw to remove the
lid.
Open the battery compartment.
After the screw has been loosened, the removal of
the lid requires a certain amount of force.
An iSCAN2XXBATT is required to operate the Bluetooth
handheld scanner.
Use only this battery for the Bluetooth scanner.
Before placing the battery inside the scanner, remove its
protective cap.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment of the
scanner. The end of the removal strap must protrude from the
opening.
If the battery has been correctly inserted and
connected to the contacts, this will be indicated by
an acoustic and a visible signal.
Close the compartment.
Check that the screw has been tightened properly.

The device has been closed ex-factory.
Incorrect handling may result in the termination of the operating
permit.
The cable connecting the base charging station to the power supply is
iSCAN2XXCAB5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.
Insert the cable in the opening at the bottom of the base charging
station.
If the cable has been inserted fully you can hear a "click".
Check if the cable fits firmly.
Insert the plug of the connection cable into the power supply's plug
connector.
Ensure that the connection is fully secured with the screw
cap after the plug has been inserted.
Place the Bluetooth handheld scanner onto the charging station.
Insert the lower part of the handle to ensure that the contacts for
charging are connected properly.
The LED at the head of the scanner will come on to
indicate successful charging.

Charge the handheld scanner in the safe area with a nonexplosion-protected base charging station.
Use a safe area power supply for supply to the base charging
station.
The cable is inserted in the corresponding opening at the
bottom of the base charging station.
This connection is closed ex-factory for a base
charging station for hazardous areas.
To connect the base charging station in a non-hazardous area,
the connection cable for the power supply and the PC is
inserted in the opening at the bottom of the base charging
station. Use iSCAN2XXCAB1, 2, 3 or 4.
If the cable has been inserted fully you can hear a
"click". Check that the cable fits firmly.
Place the handheld scanner onto the charging station.
Insert the lower part of the handle to ensure that the contacts
for charging are connected properly.
The LED at the head of the scanner will come on to
indicate successful charging.
