FCC Warning Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference with radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference with radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF

exposure requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna

Laser Information

TheUnitechPA520seriesiscertiedintheU.S.toconformtotherequirements

of DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1.

ClassIIandClass2productsarenotconsideredtobehazardous.ThePA520

seriescontainsinternallyaVisibleLaserDiode(VLD)whoseemissionsdonot

exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. The scanner

is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during

normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service operations.

The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the PA520 series'

optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover,

on the back of the unit.

CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other

thanthosespeciedhereinmayresultinhazardouslaserlight.

Use of optical instruments with the scanner, including binoculars,

microscopes, and magnifying glasses, with will increase eye

damage. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user.

Battery Notices

The PA520 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack and backup battery.

Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used.

When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 4.5 hours in order to

fully charge the main battery and backup battery. Recharge the PA520 through

the following:

1. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA520 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC

adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable.

2. Place the PA520 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter

to the power jack of the docking station.

If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on

SDRAM is safe for up to 2 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the PA520

uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. For more

details, refer to the section titling Charging the Battery.

NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500

charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It

is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the

maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be

used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe

battery disposal procedures.

If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion

battery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use,

and ensure the battery is disposed of properly.

The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and

how the device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:

•Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the

battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a

deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause

harm because there is no memory.

•Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage,

keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

- VI -

•Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended

period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will

be at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.

Battery charge notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever the Lithium-

Ionbatterypackischarged.Chargingismostefcientatnormalroom

temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are

charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of

thespeciedrangecoulddamagethebatteriesandshortentheircharginglife

cycle.

CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which

will increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the

batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature-

detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging

temperature range. Further, to protect and avoid battery from

inating,thebatteryisdetectedforthermalprotectionandwillnot

be charged when the temperature of battery is over 50 degrees.

- VII -

Storage and safety notice

Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months,

their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this

happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may

be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may deplete

more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store

batteries within normal room temperature ranges.

Warranty

The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from

defects during normal use:

•PA520 – 1-year limited warranty.

•Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty.

Warrantybecomesvoidifequipmentismodied,improperlyinstalledorused,

dam-aged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or

replaced by the user.

Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit

and will void the warranty.
