Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
about any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Position the device within easy reach. Be able to
access the device without removing your eyes from
the road.
For Safe installation
•
Do not put your phone in a location that
obstructs the drivers vision or interferes with the
operation of the Vehicle.
•
Do not cover an airbag.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your
address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility - Give full attention to driving. Check
the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
devices in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense and remember
the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and any
features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device.
3. Let the person you are speaking with know you
are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic
can be hazardous.
4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your
car will be stationary. If you need to make a call
while moving, dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
5. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the
road.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the
Emergency services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-12 in Europe) or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on
your wireless phone! The call can be made
regardless of any security codes and depending
on a network, with or without a SIM card
inserted.
7. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call the Emergency
Services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe)
or other local emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one
appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless number.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your
device / phone safely when driving”.
Warnings for Use of Wireless
Devices
Potentially Hazardous
Atmospheres – Vehicles Use
You are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,
dust, or metal powders) and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are
instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. If your
device offers a ‘flight mode’ or similar feature,
consult airline staff as to its use in flight.
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy
and may affect medical electrical equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever
you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
healthcare facilities. These requests are designed
to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a
minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless device and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than
15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
turned ON.
•
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker
to minimise the potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn OFF your
device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device, to determine if the operation
of your wireless product may interfere with the
medical device.

Batteries
Taiwan - Recycling
EPA
(Environmental
Protection
Administration)
requires dry
battery
producing or importing firms in accordance with
Article 15 of the Waste Disposal Act are required to
indicate the recycling marks on the batteries used
in sales, giveaway or promotion. Contact a
qualified Taiwanese recycler for proper battery
disposal.
Battery Information
Use only Zebra approved batteries. Accessories
which have battery charging capability are
approved for use with the following battery models:
•
Model Number BT-000314 (3.6 VDC, 4,300
mAh).
Zebra rechargeable battery packs are designed
and constructed to the highest standards within the
industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery
can operate or be stored before needing
replacement. Many factors affect the actual life
cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh
environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months,
some irreversible deterioration in overall battery
quality may occur. Store batteries at half of full
charge in a dry, cool place, removed from the
equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of
metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When
storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge
level should be verified at least once a year and
charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run
time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is
one year, regardless if the battery was purchased
separately or included as part of the mobile
computer or bar code scanner. For more
information on Zebra batteries, please visit: http://
www.zebra.com/batterybasics.

advice.
•
If you suspect damage to your equipment or
battery, contact Zebra support to arrange for
inspection.
Use with Hearing Aids
When some wireless devices are used near some
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming,
or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise, and
wireless devices also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. In the event of
interference you may want to consult your hearing
aid supplier to discuss solutions.
