FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or
result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local
dealer for replacement antenna.
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the Holster
providing a minimal spacing of 2.5 cm. from the body to the back of the
terminal/antenna. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar
accessories that maintain a 2.5 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 accessories that
do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

Quick Reference
Charging the Battery
Before using your PPT 2800 for the first time, charge the lithiumion battery in the terminal for about 2 1/2 hours, using the cradle
or the synchronization cable. F ollow these same procedures to
recharge the battery.
Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which
automatically charges from the fully-charged lithium-ion battery.
This backup battery retains data in memory when the terminal’s
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.
Charging the Battery Using the Cradle
1. Plug the cradle into a wall outlet.
2. Insert the PPT 2800 terminal in the cradle.
