Appendix  147

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

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.

Antenna Safety

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage your device, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Do not use the device with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Battery Safety

Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for assistance should you need a replacement battery.

DOs

•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.
