Regulatory Compliance Statements

FCC Statement

This is a FCC Part 15 Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Canadian Compliance Statement

This Class A Digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interferencecausing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel broilleur du Canada.

European Conformity Statement

Declaration of Conformity with regard to the R&TTE 1999/5/EC and EMC 89/336/ EEC directives.

RoHS Statement

This device conforms to RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) European Union regulations that set maximum concentration limits on hazardous materials used in electrical and electronic equipment.

Notices

The unit is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. After extended storage periods, however, the unit may not power-on without external power due to battery discharge. In this case, connect the unit to the power cable and recharge the unit for about 12 hours to charge the battery to full capacity.

The battery supplies operational power to the unit for approximately one hour

(depending on hardware conguration and with limited backlight use) or provides

backup data for three days when there is no external power connected.

Battery Charge Notice

It is important to consider the environmental temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion

battery pack is charged. Charging is most efcient at normal room temperature or in a

slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated

range of 0°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the specied range could damage

the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.

Storage and Safety Notice

Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 70°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.

Warranty

The following items are covered under Unitech Limited Warranty:

MT380 IP-based Access Control Terminal is covered by a one-year limited warranty. • Cables are covered by a one-year limited warranty. • The backup battery is covered by a three-month warranty. •

Setting Up the MT380

This section explains how to charge the MT380’s battery, and how to power on the MT380 for initial use.

Connection Power

Follow the instructions below to connect power to the MT380.

Note: A UPS battery is used for normal operation when there is no main power. The battery also functions as a data backup battery. Therefore, data you enter may not be properly stored until the built-in backup battery has been adequately recharged.

1. Plug the adapter cable into the MT380’s DC input jack, then connect the adapter into an electrical outlet.

2. Power on the backup battery by switching it left.

On Off

Charging the Battery

The MT380 must be charged for at least 12 hours before its initial use. The battery begins charging as soon as the power cable is connected.

Using the MT380 for the First Time

The MT380 is ready for use after it has been charged for 12 hours. Now, the MT380 is ready to start up, calibrate the display, time zone, date and clock.

Powering On the MT380

The MT380 automatically powers on when the 12V DC power adapter is plugged in. The MT380 welcome screen appears, followed by the Windows CE screen.

Calibrating MT380’s Screen

The screen calibration automatically appears when the unit is powered on for the rst

time, or when the system is reset. The MT380 is calibrated by tapping a sequence of screen locations.

Tap gently, but rmly with the

stylus.

When the series of taps is complete, press the [F5]/[ENTER]

key to conrm calibration or press

the [F4]/[ESC] key to cancel the calibration.

The Date/Time properties screen will appear after the calibration has

been conrmed.

Setting Date and Time

In the Date/Time Properties window, use the stylus to select the current date/time, time zone and daylight saving time option.

Tap the Left or Right arrows to scroll through the desired year and month or directly •

tap the year or month to change the setting.

Tap on the Hr/Min/Sec AM/PM to input the Hr/Min/Sec to set the time. • Tap the arrow and set the correct time zone from the drop-down list. • Check the box to enable Windows to automatically adjust for daylight saving. •

Tap • Apply to save the settings and exit the Date/Time Properties dialog, or tap

to exit without saving.
