Special Notices
The following notices emphasize certain information in this
guide. Each serves a special purpose and is displayed in the format shown:
NOTE: Note is used to emphasize any significant information.
Caution: Indicates information that, if not followed, can result in damage
to software, hardware, or data.
Caution: This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, can result in personal injury.
Caution: This warning symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may be a shock hazard.
Warning: This warning symbol indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided will result in death or serious injury.
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with
electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing
accidents
Vehicle Installation Safety
Caution: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install,
replace, or service this equipment.
Caution: DO NOT USE THE RW 420 PRINT STATION WHILE DRIVING, as
this may result in property damage or personal injury. Zebra Technologies
Corp. does not promote the use of these products except when parked or
stationary, and is not responsible for any loss resulting from the use or
misuse of our products. Most importantly, we do not want to see harm
come to our customers or anyone else.
Caution: Do not install the RW 420 Print Station where it will be exposed to
precipitation or excessive condensation.
Caution: Do not install the RW 420 Print Station on or near an airbag cover
plate or within an airbag zone. Also, do not install the RW 420 Print Station
in a location that will affect vehicle safety or operation.
Caution: The means of routing and securing the Power Input cable from
the RW 420 Print Station through to the vehicle power source is extremely
important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe. To
avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges,
provide the cable with proper bushings and clamping where it passes
through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and excess
engine vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing a
short between the bare wire and the chassis. This can start a fire.
Caution: It is very important to ensure you make the correct connections
to the power source, because electrical energy from a vehicle’s power
system can harm equipment and people.
UMAN-RW4PS-101 • EN-4
Caution: If you need to jump start your vehicle from another vehicle
battery, disconnect the power cable running to the RW 420 Print Station.
Failure to do so can result in damage to your mobile terminal and/or the RW
420 Print Station itself.
The safety instructions in this guide do not exclude all situations
which could be dangerous. Common sense, caution and care
should be exercised by the user or the person in charge of the
maintenance service.
Maintenance and repair of electric and electronic parts must be carried
out only by qualified technicians after considering all the necessary safety
measures.
The standard RW 420 Print Station system is not designed to operate in
environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
NOTE: Zebra Technologies is not liable for personal injury or damage to
any equipment caused by the improper installation of this equipment to any
power source.
Carefully read the electric data stated on the identification
nameplate placed on the device. In case such plate is missing or
unreadable, contact a Zebra authorized service provider.
The purpose of this guide is to explain how to use and install the
RW 420 Print Station system, by means of instructions, pictures
and examples.
All the necessary operations are described in order to allow the
correct use of the RW 420 Print Station and its options. Consult
the user documentation supplied for the printer and terminal for
more complete information on the operation of these components.
Non-qualified personnel should not handle or attempt repairs of
the RW 420 Print Station system.

DESCRIPTION
The RW 420 Print Station is a rugged, integrated device that provides easy storage and simultaneous charging of the printer and
terminal.
The RW 420 Print Station provides housing for a Zebra RW 420
printer mechanism (integrated internally, non-removable) and
the Motorola terminal (removable) MC70 (all versions; MC7004,
MC7090, MC7094, MC7095, MC7098, MC75, all of which with/
without the 2x extended battery pack).
The RW4-PS draws from the accessory suite developed for the
RW printers and RW 420 Route Palettes.
The following table lists the Accessory Kits that may be used
with the RW 420 Print Station as a stand-alone device:

Battery Safety
The Battery Packs used on Zebra Mobile Printers contain a great
deal of energy and can cause personal injury or start a fire if used
improperly or carelessly. Please observe the following safety
practices:
Caution•Avoidaccidentalshortcircuitingofanybattery.Allowingbattery
terminals to contact conductive material will create a short circuit which
may damage the battery pack and could cause burns and other injuries or
could start a fire.
Caution•Batteriescanexplodeorcatchreifimproperlychargedor
exposed to high temperatures or fire. Do not disassemble, crush or expose
batteries to water.
Caution•Useofanychargerorpoweradapternotapprovedspecically
by Zebra for use with its batteries and systems could cause damage to the
battery pack or the RW4-PS and will void the warranty.
Read carefully and always observe the safety guidelines for Li-ion
batteries provided with each Battery Pack.
Charger Safety
Do not place the UCLI72-4 Quad Charger in locations where liquids or
metallic objects may be dropped into the charging bays.
Use care in locating either the LI72 Single Charger or the UCLI72-4 Quad
Charger. Do not block the ventilating slots on the top and bottom covers.
Ensure that the Charger is plugged into a power source which won’t
accidently be turned off if you will be charging batteries overnight.
Required Regulatory Text for Argentina
Only certified adaptors with the following electrical characteristics shall
be used. The use of different adaptors could damage the device, present
hazards to the user and declare the correspondent guaranty void.
LI72: Input ratings: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz 200mA., Class 2
Output ratings: 8.4 VDC, 800 mA
Smart Battery
The Print Station battery pack contains electronics which allow
the printer to monitor its operating parameters. Among these are
the battery’s charge state, the number of charge cycles it has undergone, date of first use and its date of manufacture. Using these
parameters, the Print Station software monitors the battery condition and alerts the user when to recharge, re-condition or remove
the battery from service.
The Print Station battery pack is physically dif ferent from the
battery which is used in the RW series printer. The battery charg-
