Safety Information
Do Not Use The PC Functions Of Your Pocket PC While Driving Or Walking
Never use the personal computer functions of your device while driving an automobile or any other moving
vehicle. Always pull out of traffic and come to a stop in a legally permissible and safe location before using your
device. Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury in a traffic accident.
When driving:
- Always secure your device in its leather pouch.
- Never place your device on the passenger seat or anyplace else in the car where it can become a
projectile during a collision or stop.
- An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Never store or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment of your
automobile as the device or any of its accessories, as possible sparking in the device could cause ignition or
explosion.
Never use your device while walking. Usage while walking could result in bodily injury caused by inattention to
automobile traffic or other pedestrian hazards.
Using The Phone Function Of Your Pocket PC While Driving Is Extremely Dangerous
Talking on or using your device while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,
safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them.
If you must use the phone function while driving, please:
- Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
- Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
- Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
When Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device; therefore, use of your device must be restricted in
certain situations.
In addition, the computer portion of your device produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of
digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your device has been equipped with internal shielding
to minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However, use of the computer functions of your device must be
restricted in certain situations.
Battery Safety
Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for
assistance should you need a replacement battery.
DO's:- Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.
- Only use the battery for its original purpose.
- Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).
- If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm up
or cool down before using.
- Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.
- Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.
- Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.
- Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
DON'Ts- Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
- Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse
with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically damage the
battery.
- Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could significantly reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery.
- Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable battery, please request the repair center
to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by yourself, please call
RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or
skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the
eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into
contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.
General Safety
Your pocket PC is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the product, battery and adapter/charger.
Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage due to
battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.
DO NOT use or store this equipment in a place where it will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near an
open flame or heat-emitting equipment.
DO NOT drop your device or subject it to severe shock. When not using, lay down the unit to avoid possible
damage due to instability.
DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.
DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.
DO NOT disassemble the device or its accessories. If service or repair is required, return unit to an authorized
cellular service center. If the unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.
Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get into the inside of your device.
Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display. Contact with this liquid could cause
a skin rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it immediately
with clean water.
In the event that the device emits an unusual odor or sound or generates smoke, immediately disconnect the
AC adapter from the power outlet, then detach the battery.
