BATTERY SAFETY
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
following pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of recharge-
able battery 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 warn-
ings 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) tempera-
ture 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
protection 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 performance 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. 
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part. 
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
CAUTION: Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or  at
fully discharged status should be avoided.
