Chapter 1 Product intro
1.1 Intro
Chainway C66 is a newly-developed rugged handheld computer with large screen
and strong extensibility. Based on Android 11.0 OS, it is equipped with
Qualcomm Octa-core processor for high-speed processing. With 5.5-inch high-
definition display, it is integrated with barcode scanning, NFC and other
functions. The data collection device supports quick charge and UHF sled for
good extensibility that
can meet the needs in logistics, warehouse, manufacturing, retail, asset
tracking, power patrol inspection, etc.
1.2 Precaution before using battery
- Do not leave battery unused for long time, no matter it is in device or inventory. If battery has been used for 6 months already, it should be check for charging function or it should be disposed correctly.
- The lifespan of Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years, it can be circularly charged for 300 to 500 times. (One full battery charge period means completely charged and completely discharged.)
- When Li-ion battery is not in used, it will continue discharge slowly. Therefore, battery charging status should be checked frequently and take reference of the related battery charging information on the manuals.
- Observe and record the information of a new unused and nonfully charged battery. On the basis of operating time of new battery and compare with a battery that has been used for long time. According to product configuration and application program, the operating time of battery would be different.
- Check battery charging status at regular intervals.
- When battery operating time drops below about 80%, charging time will be increased remarkably.
- If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
- Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).
1.3 Charger
The charger type is DBS15QG(EU)/ DBS15Q(US), output voltage/current is 9V DC/2A. The plug considered as disconnect device of adapter.
1.4 Notes
Note:
Using the incorrect type battery has danger of explosion.
Please dispose the used battery according to instructions.
Note:
Due to the used enclosure material, the product shall only be connected to a USB Interface of version 2.0 or higher. The connection to so called power USB is prohibited.
Note:
The adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Note:
The suitable operating temperature for the product and accessories is -20℃ to 50℃. Charging temperature is-20℃ to 40℃
Note:
CAUTION RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

2.3 Battery charge
By using USB Type-C contact, the original adaptor should be used for charging the device. Make sure not to use other adaptors to charge the device.
Note:
- Main logic is pistol grip battery will work as power bank to give power to main device battery, when device battery power is und er 50 percent, it start to charge the main device battery.It will ke ep charging until pistol grip battery is at percentage of 15%.
- Once installed the pistol grip to main device, must restart the de vice once so the pistol grip battery will be correctly detected.
- When put the device with pistol grip together to charge, it will ch arge main device battery first, once main device battery is up to 95%, it will start to charge pistol grip battery.

FCC statements:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modifications or changes to this equipment. Such
modifications or changes could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE: 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 to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to 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.
The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Device types C66(FCC ID: 2AC6AC66P) has also been tested against this SAR
limit.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile hotspots employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
(10 mm) positions accepted by the FCC with the mobile hotspot transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR
guideline includes a considerable safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons regardless of age and health.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model mobile hotspot
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The device for operation in the band 5150–5350 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
