2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the ITDB-100L and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ITDB-100L. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ITDB-100L or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the ITDB-100L, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the ITDB-100L.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the ITDB-100L is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the ITDB-100L does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
2.1.
2.3 are present.

3.1 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the ITDB-100L, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the ITDB-100L must be
disconnected during the installation process. Failing to disconnect the power
may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
Qualified Personnel: The ITDB-100L must be installed and operated only by

ITDB-100L Barcode Reader
A.1 Safety Precautions
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this appendix should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the ITDB-100L.
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
when moving, installing or modifying the system.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if opened while still powered on.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the system, turn
off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
system vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the system against a hard surface.
o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature
Page 71
A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
ITDB-100L may result in permanent damage to the ITDB-100L and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ITDB-100L. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ITDB-100L is opened and any of the electrical components are
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
ITDB-100L Barcode Reader
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.

A.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union - If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union:
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the ITDB-100L, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the ITDB-100L, please read the details below.
The interior of the ITDB-100L does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the ITDB-100L interior.
Page 73
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the
ITDB-100L.
Turn the ITDB-100L off before cleaning the ITDB-100L.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the ITDB-100L.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the ITDB-100L.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the ITDB-100L.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components in the ITDB-100L may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the ITDB-100L.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
ITDB-100L Barcode Reader
cloth is recommended when cleaning the ITDB-100L.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the ITDB-100L.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
ITDB-100L as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning the ITDB-100L. Dust and dirt can restrict
the airflow in the ITDB-100L and cause its circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
