Taiwan - Recycling
EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) requires dry battery
producing or importing firms in accordance with Article 15 of the Waste
Disposal Act are required to indicate the recycling marks on the
batteries used in sales, giveaway or promotion. Contact a qualified
Taiwanese recycler for proper battery disposal.
Battery Information
Use only approved batteries. Accessories which have battery charging capability are
approved for use with the following battery models:
Part Number BT000254A01 (12.6 Vdc, 2000 mAh).
Zebra approved rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest
standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations as 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 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 30 days, regardless if the battery was
purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or bar code scanner. For

Battery Safety Guidelines
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials
or chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a
non-commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be
between +32 ºF and +113 ºF (0 ºC and +45 ºC).
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger
may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions
about the compatibility of a battery or a charger, contact Zebra support.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause
the battery to overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery
terminals.
CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of batteries according to instructions.
