Safety & Regulatory Addendum
XXXXXXXXX (Rev. X) July 2019
General Safety Rules
Power Supply
The device is intended to be supplied by an external DC power appropriate to the installed power
supply (12 - 48 VDC) or (110 - 230 VAC) PSU.
and/or by UL Listed/CSA Certified Power Unit LPS/SELV power source which supplies power
directly to the unit via the attached power connector.
Any changes or modifications to equipment, not expressly approved by Datalogic could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Battery Information (When Installed)
By default, the main battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to
excessive draining.
The rechargeable battery pack is less than half of full charge when delivered. Charge the battery
pack as indicated in the Quick Start Guide or in the User Manual, before using the TaskBook
terminal.
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of barcode
scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
Close to the limits of the working temperature, some battery performance degradation may
occur.
The TaskBook should be charged at an ambient temperature between 0 – 45°C (32 to 113°F).
Never charge the device battery in a closed space where excessive heat can build up.
As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.
The TaskBook may get warm during charging; this is normal and does not mean a malfunction.
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, it is recommended to store the terminal and the
batteries at environmental temperature, in order to achieve the longest battery life.
Battery Safety Guidelines
NOTE
Read carefully the TaskBook user manual (available at www.datalogic.com ) before performing
any type of connection to the TaskBook.
The user is responsible for any damage caused by incorrect use of the equipment or by
inobservance of the indication supplied in the user manual.
CAUTION
• Before using the devices and the battery packs, read this Addendum carefully.
• Use only the components and accessories supplied by the manufacturer for
the specific TaskBook being used.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the TaskBook device, as it does not contain
parts that can be repaired by the user. Any tampering will invalidate the
warranty.
• When replacing the battery pack or at the end of the operative life of the
• TaskBook device, disposal must be performed in compliance with the laws in
force in your jurisdiction.
• Do not submerge the TaskBook in liquid products.
• For further information or support, refer to the Datalogic web site:
www.datalogic.com.
CAUTION
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals, or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire and
explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of batteries as required by local authorities.
CAUTION
Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very low charge.
We recommend charging the battery pack every two to three months to keep its charge at a
moderate level to maximize battery life.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and
ensures maximum performance.
WARNING
Use only Datalogic approved batteries and accessories for battery charging.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect.
Mettre au rebut les batteris usagées confor mément aux instructions.
WARNING
Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by authorized personnel and
following this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to
abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explosion.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other heat source; do not place the battery
pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot
weather; do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in high pressure
containers, on induction cook surfaces or similar devices. Doing so may cause the battery pack
to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a
loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
To power the cradle, use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use of an alternative
power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat,
an explosion, or fire.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal to power devices other than this device.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery
pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears
abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative
terminal. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket
or purse; accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or
pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips
on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack or the
connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise
subject it to strong impacts, pressures, or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack
contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to
generate heat, explode or ignite.
Wireless and Radio Frequencies Warnings
WARNING
