UL Safety Notices

Required for UL 1459 covering telecommunications (telephone) equipment intended to be electrically connected to a telecommunication network that has an operating voltage to ground that does not exceed 200V peak, 300V peak-to-peak, and 105V rms, and installed or used in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70).

When using the Pocket PC, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

•Do not use the Pocket PC near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

•Do not use the Pocket PC in the vicinity of a gas leak.

Required for UL 1642 covering primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products. These batteries contain metallic lithium, or a lithium alloy, or a lithium ion, and may consist of a single electrochemical cell or two or more cells connected in series, parallel, or both, that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by an irreversible or reversible chemical reaction.

•Do not dispose the Pocket PC battery pack in a fire, as they may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions to reduce the risk of injury to persons due to fire or explosion.

•Do not use power adapters or batteries from other devices to reduce the risk of injury to persons due to fire or explosion. Use only UL certified power adapters or batteries supplied by the manufacturer or authorized retailers.

Replaceable batteries

–if the battery is placed elsewhere in the equipmen, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions.

The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text:

BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING

THE INSTRUCTIONS

Compliance is checked by inspection.

Operator access with a tool

If a TOOL is necessary to gain access to an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, either all other compartments within that area containing a hazard shall be inaccessible to the OPERATOR by the use of the same TOOL, or such compartments shall be marked to discourage OPERATOR access.

An acceptable marking for an electric shock hazard is (ISO 3864, No. 5036)

Equipment for restricted access locations
