battery is removed, and takes several hours to charge when you
first use your terminal.

Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery before the back-

up battery is fully charged, data may be lost. For this
reason, DO NOT remove the battery within the first ten
hours of use.

Quick Reference

FCC RF Exposure Guidelines

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the holster providing a
minimal spacing of 2.0 cm from the body to the back of the terminal/antenna. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, use only belt­clips, holsters, or similar accessories that maintain a 2.0 cm separation distance
between the user’s body and the back of the terminal, including the antenna. The use
of third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of these accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, and
should be avoided.
