BATTERY SAFETY (ONLY FOR PM96XX)

To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instruc

tions in this manual.

NOTE: Before installing the Battery, read “Battery Safety” on this and the fol

lowing pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable bat

tery packs to ensure maximum performance.

WARNING: Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the reader.

When the battery is used in devices other than the designated product, it may

damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an

abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or

ignite and cause serious injury.

Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious

injury if exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings

listed below:

• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery

pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.

• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on

it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.

• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.

• Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub

the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left

untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

CAUTION: Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature

range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks

supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can

damage the device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and pro

tection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,

explode or ignite.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature

locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside

cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode

or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of perfor

mance and a shortened life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on

induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing

the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or

shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
