About This ManualiiiCAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures otherthan those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use ofoptical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. Opticalinstruments include binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses.However, this does not include eye glasses worn by the user.Battery NoticesThe PA600 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion Battery Pack and Backup Battery. Both bat-teries will discharge power if not frequently used.Recharge the PA600 for at least 16 hours in order to fully charge the main battery andbackup battery. Recharge the PA600 through either of the following:1. Plug the USB Charging Cable to the PA600 and insert the AC Adapter into theUSB Charging Cable’s power jack.2. Place the PA600 into the Docking Station and plug the AC Adapter to the Dock-ing Station’s power jack.The Backup Battery ensures data stored on SDRAM is safe for up to 2 hours, whenthe Main Battery disconnects from the P600. To prevent data loss, do not leave thePA600 uncharged without the Main Battery for an extended time period.NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500charge/discharge cycles occur to guarantee optimal performance. It isnormal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or themaximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it can not beused again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe bat-tery disposal procedures.If the performance decrease of greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion bat-tery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, andensure the battery is disposed of properly.The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how thedevice is used. Conserve battery life through the following:• Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the bat-tery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deepone. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harmbecause there is no memory.• Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keepthe battery at a 40 percent charge level.• Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extendedperiod because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will beat least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.Battery charge noticeIt is important to consider the environmental temperature whenever the Lithium-IonBattery Pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at room temperature or in a slightlycooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the temperaturerange of 50°F - 113°F (10°C to 45°C). Charging batteries outside of this specified tem-perature range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
