Laser Information

The Unitech MS842P is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/CDRH

21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2 products are

not considered to be hazardous. The MS842P contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD)

whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. The

scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal

operation, user maintenance or prescribed service operations.

The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the MS842P’s optional laser

scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the unit.

CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments with

the scanner, including binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses, with will

increase eye damage.

This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user.

Battery Notices

The MS842P is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. The battery will discharge after an

extended period of no use.

When the battery is discharged, recharge the unit for some 4.5 hours in order to fully charge

the battery.

Note: To guarantee optimal performance, it is advised that rechargeable batteries be replaced

every year, or when 500 charge/discharge cycles are achieved. It is normal that the

battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it

does not cause harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the

location's safe battery disposal procedures.

If the performance, of a Lithium-Ion battery, decrease is greater than 20% in, the battery

is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed

of properly.

The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used.

Conserve the battery life by doing the following:

 Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several

partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a full discharge. Recharging a

partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory

effect.

 Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery

at a 40% charge level.

 Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period

because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of the

one with frequent recharges.

Battery charge notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature when the Lithium-Ion battery pack is

charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler

environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C.

Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their

charging life cycle.

CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C. This will increase the

internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe.

Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe

charging temperature range.

Storage and safety notice

Although the charged Lithium-Ion battery may be left unused for several months, their capacity

may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require

recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion battery may be stored at temperatures between -30°C to

70°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is recommended to

store batteries at room temperature.

v

Warranty

The following items covered under the Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during

normal use:

 MS842P – 1-year limited warranty.

 Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty.

Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by

accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user.

Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the

warranty.
