GENERAL SAFETY RULES

CAUTION:

Before using the devices and the battery packs, read this Addendum carefully.
Use only the components and accessories supplied by the manufacturer for the specific Skorpio X5 being used.
Do not attempt to disassemble the Skorpio X5 device, as it does not contain parts that can be repaired by the user. Any tampering will invalidate the warranty.
When replacing the battery pack or at the end of the operative life of the Skorpio X5 device, disposal must be performed in compliance with the laws in force in your jurisdiction.
Do not submerge the Skorpio X5 in liquid products.
For further information or support, refer to the Datalogic web site: www.datalogic.com.

POWER SUPPLY

The device is intended to be supplied by a self-contained rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack (UL recognized LPS/PS2/SELV power source) and/or by UL Listed Power Unit LPS/PS2/SELV power source which supplies power directly to the unit via the micro USB connector of the cable. The device could be also used with Certified Accessories (Dock/Cradle). The Dock/Cradle accessories are intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit LPS/PS2/SELV which supplies power via the power connector of the cable. Any changes or modifications to equipment, not expressly approved by Datalogic could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

BATTERY INFORMATION

CAUTION: Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals, or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire and explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of batteries as required by local authorities.

By default, the main battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining.
The rechargeable battery pack is less than half of full charge when delivered. Charge the battery pack as indicated in the Quick Start Guide or in the User Manual, before using the Skorpio X5.
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc. Close to the limits of the working temperature, some battery performance degradation may occur. The Skorpio X5 and the spare batteries should be charged at 0°C – 40°C (32°F 104°F) ambient temperature range, in order to achieve the maximum charging rate. Never charge the device battery in a closed space where excessive heat can build up. As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating. The Skorpio X5 may get warm during charging; this is normal and does not mean a malfunction. Even if the storage temperature range is wider, it is recommended to store the device and the batteries at environmental temperature, in order to achieve the longest battery life.

CAUTION: Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very low charge. We recommend charging the battery pack every two to three months to keep its charge at a moderate level to maximize battery life. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.

WARNING: Use only Datalogic approved batteries and accessories for battery charging. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

CAUTION: Do not use or leave the product close to heat sources as fire or heater. The device must operate in it’s operating temperature range.

BATTERY SAFETY GUIDELINES

WARNING: Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by authorized personnel and following this manual. The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explosion. Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other heat source; do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in high pressure containers, on induction cook surfaces or similar devices. Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy. To power the cradle, use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, an explosion, or fire. The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals. Do not use the battery pack of this device to power devices other than this device.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive device and negative device. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket
or purse; accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Shortcircuiting the devices may damage the battery pack or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts. Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts, pressures, or shocks.

WARNING: Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs, immediately wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, you should take it to the nearest Authorised Repair Centre for inspection before continuing to use it.
If your device stops working for any reason, do not use its battery on other electronic devices without a prior check and approval by an Authorised Repair Centre. 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. Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2011/65, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, with US and China regulatory laws and regulations about the environment. Turn off the device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Observe restrictions and follow closely any laws, regulations, warnings, and best practices on the use of radio equipment near fuel storage areas or fuel distribution areas, chemical plants or where any operation involves use of explosive materials. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, explosive gases or materials with the device or its parts or accessories. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked or shown. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in injury or even death.
