Before You Begin

This section provides you with safety information, technical support
information, and sources for additional product information.

Safety Summary

Your safety is extremely important. Read and follow all warnings and
cautions in this document before handling and operating Intermec
equipment. You can be seriously injured, and equipment and data can be
damaged if you do not follow the safety warnings and cautions.

Do Not Repair or Adjust Alone

Do not repair or adjust energized equipment alone under any
circumstances. Someone capable of providing first aid must always be
present for your safety.

First Aid

Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately after an injury.
Never neglect an injury, no matter how slight it seems.

Before You Begin

Resuscitation

Begin resuscitation immediately if someone is injured and stops breathing.
Any delay could result in death. To work on or near high voltage, you
should be familiar with approved industrial first aid methods.

Energized Equipment

Never work on energized equipment unless authorized by a responsible
authority. Energized electrical equipment is dangerous. Electrical shock
from energized equipment can cause death. If you must perform
authorized emergency work on energized equipment, be sure that you
comply strictly with approved safety regulations.
