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
of 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 your device within easy reach. Be able to access your
device without removing your eyes from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or
lights to flash, on receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.
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 1-1-2 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”.
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of
wireless devices.
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres
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.
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
15cm (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.

Battery Information
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

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.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some
of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all
phones have been rated. Zebra terminals that are rated have the
rating included on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at
http://www.zebra.com/doc
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to
use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
CAUTION Only use Zebra approved and UL Listed accessories,
battery packs and battery chargers.
Do NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers
or batteries. All components must be dry before
connecting to an external power source.
Operation of the device without regulatory
approval is illegal.
CAUTION In order to avoid or minimize the potential risk of
ergonomic injury follow the recommendations below.
Consult with your local Health & Safety Manager to
ensure that you are adhering to your company’s safety
programs to prevent employee injury.
