To eliminate or minimize potential hazards associated with poor ergonomics, always follow workplace ergonomics recommendations. Consult your organization's EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) representative to ensure compliance with company safety programs designed to prevent employee accidents.

Vehicle Installation

Radio signals may interfere with improperly installed or shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the vehicle manufacturer or its representative. Ensure the equipment is installed so it does not obstruct the driver. It is also recommended to consult the manufacturer of any aftermarket equipment installed in the vehicle.

Place the device in an easily accessible location. The user should be able to access the device without taking their eyes off the road.

IMPORTANT: Before installing or using the device, review the national and local regulations regarding distracted driving.

Road Safety

Focus on driving. Comply with the legal requirements and regulations of your country regarding the use of wireless devices.

“Wireless device manufacturers urge you to use their products safely while driving.”

Areas with Usage Restrictions

Remember to comply with restrictions, signs, and instructions for using electronic devices in areas with usage restrictions.

Safety in Hospitals and Airplanes

Wireless devices emit radio frequency energy that can interfere with electronic medical equipment and aircraft. Turn off wireless devices whenever requested by hospital staff, clinics, medical facilities, or airlines. These recommendations are intended to prevent potential interference with sensitive equipment.

It is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted devices to avoid potential interference with the medical device.

Pacemaker users should hold the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker or turn off the device if interference is suspected.

Contact your doctor or the medical device manufacturer to ensure that using a wireless device will not cause interference with the medical device.

Batteries and Chargers

This information applies to Zebra-approved batteries and chargers.

Battery Information

CAUTION: Using the wrong type of battery can cause it to explode. Dispose of used batteries according to the provided instructions.

Use only Zebra-approved batteries. Accessories with charging functionality have been approved for use with the following models:

• Model BT-000370 (3.6 V DC, 7000 mAh)
• Model BT-000371 (3.6 V DC, 5000 mAh)

Zebra-approved batteries are designed and manufactured to the highest industry standards.

Battery lifespan and storage are subject to certain limitations. Actual battery cycle life is affected by many factors, including temperature, environmental conditions, and drops.

Storing batteries for more than six months may cause irreversible performance degradation. Store batteries at a partial charge (50%) in a cool, dry place, after removing them from the device, to prevent capacity reduction, corrosion of metal parts, and electrolyte leakage. If storing batteries for a year or longer, check the charge level at least once a year and recharge to 50%.

Replace the battery when the device's operating time is significantly reduced.

• The standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is one year, regardless of whether they were purchased separately or are included with the main device.
• For more information on Zebra batteries, visit zebra.com/batterydocumentation and select the link for recommended battery practices.

Safe Battery Operation

IMPORTANT - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always follow basic safety precautions, including those described below, when using this product.

• The battery charging area should be free of contaminants, flammable materials, and chemicals. Exercise caution when charging the device in a home environment.
• Read all instructions before using the product.
• Follow the battery usage, storage, and charging recommendations in the user manual.
• Improper handling of batteries can result in fire, explosion, or other hazards.
• Using batteries under very low air pressure may cause explosion or leakage of flammable liquids or gases.
• To charge a portable device battery, the battery and charger temperature must be between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Using an incompatible battery or charger carries a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards. Contact Zebra technical support for information on compatibility.
• Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or cut batteries. Damaged or modified batteries may behave unpredictably, causing fire, explosion, or injury.
• A strong impact from dropping the device on a hard surface may cause the battery temperature to rise excessively.
• Do not short-circuit battery contacts or allow metal objects or conductive materials to touch them.
• Do not modify, disassemble, rework, insert foreign objects into, immerse or expose batteries to water, rain, snow, or other liquids, or expose them to fire, explosion, or other hazards.
• Do not leave or store the device in locations where it may be exposed to high temperatures (e.g., in a parked car or near a heater). Do not place the battery in a microwave or dryer.
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the device is used near children.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Exposure to temperatures above 100°C (212°F) can cause an explosion.
• If a battery is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
• In case of electrolyte leakage from the battery, avoid contact of the fluid with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
• If the device or battery is suspected to be damaged, contact Zebra technical support for an inspection.

Substance of Concern Information

France

The device has been tested and declared compliant with applicable radio frequency (RF) exposure limits. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) quantifies user exposure to electromagnetic fields from the equipment. The highest SAR values are available on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at zebra.com/doc.

Mexico

The operation of this equipment is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this equipment or device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this equipment or device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Korea

SAR Information

This product's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) meets the standards for human exposure to electromagnetic fields set by the Ministry of Science and ICT. This product was tested under maximum output conditions for head exposure according to the National Radio Research Agency's SAR measurement standards, and the maximum SAR measurement value is as follows.

Model Name: MC9401

SAR (Specified Absorption Rate) refers to the amount of electromagnetic waves absorbed by the human body when using a mobile phone. Korea applies a stricter standard of 1.6 W/kg than the international recommended standard of 2 W/kg.

However, in daily life, communication occurs at output levels significantly lower than the maximum output, so the SAR is much lower than the test results above.

For detailed information on SAR, please check the National Radio Research Agency (rra.go.kr) or the manufacturer's website.

Taiwan

Low Power Radio Frequency Device Management Regulations

Low power radio frequency device manufacturers, companies, or users may not change frequency, increase power, or alter the original design characteristics and functions without approval.

Low power radio frequency devices must not affect flight safety and must not interfere with legitimate communications. If interference occurs, stop using the device immediately and improve it until there is no interference.

Legitimate communications refer to wireless communications operated in accordance with the Telecommunications Management Act.

Low power radio frequency devices must withstand interference from legitimate communications or industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio frequency radiating equipment.

Avoid affecting the operation of nearby radar systems.
