workplace practices. Consult with your local Health and Safety Manager to ensure that you are adheringto your company’s safety programs to prevent employee injury.

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. Ensure the equipment is installed to avoid driver distractions. You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Position the device within easy reach. User should be able to access the device without removing their eyes from the road.

Note IconIMPORTANT: Before installing or using, check national and local laws regarding distracted driving.

Safety on the Road
Give your full attention to driving. Obey the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the
areas where you drive.

The wireless industry reminds you to use your device / phone safely when driving

Restricted Use Locations
Remember to observe restrictions and obey all signs and instructions on the use of electronic devices in
restricted use locations.

Safety in Hospitals and Aircraft
Signal IconNOTE: Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy that may affect medical electrical equipment and aircraft’s operation. Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, healthcare facilities or by airline staff. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive equipments.

Medical Devices
It is recommended that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (8 inches) be maintained between a
wireless device and a medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillator, or other implantable devices to
avoid potential interference with the medical device. Pacemaker users should keep the device at the opposite side of the pacemaker or turn OFF the device if suspected of interference.

Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if the operation of
your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

RF Exposure Guidelines
Safety Information
Reducing RF Exposure – Use Properly
Only operate the device in accordance with the instructions supplied.

The device complies with internationally recognized standards covering human exposure to
electromagnetic fields. For information on international human exposure to electromagnetic fields, refer to the Zebra Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at www.zebra.com/doc

Use only Zebra tested and approved headset, belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories to ensure RF exposure compliance. If applicable, follow the instructions for use as detailed in the accessory guide.

The use of third-party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories may not comply with RF exposure
compliance requirements and should be avoided.

For further information on the safety of RF energy from wireless devices, refer to RF exposure and assessment standards section at www.zebra.com/responsibility

Power Supply
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Use only a Zebra approved, Certified ITE [LPS] power supply
with appropriate electrical ratings. Use of alternative power supply will invalidate any approvals
given to this unit and may be dangerous.

Batteries and Power Packs
This information applies to Zebra-approved batteries and power packs containing batteries.

Battery Information

CAUTION : Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of batteries according to instructions

Use only Zebra approved batteries. Accessories which have battery charging capability are approved for use with the following battery models:

  • Model BT-000418 (3.6 VDC, 3300 mAh)
  • Model BT-000432 (3.6 VDC, 4900 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 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 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 host device. For more information on Zebra batteries, please visit: www.zebra.com/batterydocumentation and select the Battery Best Practices link.

Battery Safety Guidelines
Note IconIMPORTANT – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – When using this product basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

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.

  • Read all the instructions before using the product.
  • 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 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F).

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. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.

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.

Do not modify, disassemble, or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water, rain, snow or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.

Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.

To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when used near children.

Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.

Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Exposure to temperatures over 100°C (212°F) may cause explosion.

Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.

In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.

If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact Zebra support to arrange for inspection.
