There are two categories of Safety Instructions included in this manual:
Product Warnings, (i.e., what must never be done to assure avoiding
those hazards that could cause bodily injury or property damage); and
User Directions (i.e., what must always be done to assure the safe use of

Designates important information that relates
to the safe use of your Pocket PC.
Your Pocket PC produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of
digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your Pocket PC has been
equipped with internal shielding to minimize any stray emissions of RF en-
ergy.
Airlines may nevertheless prohibit the on-board use of all portable PCs
(and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray
RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any pos-
sible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navi-
gational devices.
WARNING
Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized
airline representative before using your Pocket PC aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever us-
ing your Pocket PC aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interfer-
ence with airborne electronic equipment.
3
WARNING
Certain locations, such as hospitals, may restrict the use of Pocket PCs
and other devices that emit low-level RF energy.
Always comply with posted prohibitions of the use of RF-emitting devices,
such as in hospitals. Failure to follow such directives could result in the
interference with medical equipment and/or devices.
Never come closer than 16cm (6inches) to a person with a heart pace-
maker implant when using this Pocket PC in combination with a mobile
cellular telephone. Failure to do so could result in interference with the
function of the pacemaker.
WARNING
Never use a Pocket PC while driving an automobile or any other moving
vehicle. Always pull out of traffic and come to a stop in a legally permissible
and safe location before using your Pocket PC. Failure to do so could result
in serious bodily injury in a traffic accident.
Never use your Pocket PC while walking. Usage while walking could result
in bodily injury caused by inattention to automobile traffic or other pedes-
trian hazards.
WARNING
Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to enter in-
side your Pocket PC. Metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, if
allowed to enter your Pocket PC, could cause the generation of excess
heat or fire.
Never connect terminals (metal parts) to metallic objects (such as wires).
Connecting terminals to metal objects could cause excessive heat or fire.
Always immediately turn the battery switch to the “off” position and discon-
nect the AC Adaptor from the power outlet in the event the Pocket PC emits
an unusual odor or sound or generates smoke.
WARNING
Never use or store your Pocket PC in the following locations:
Anywhere it may be exposed to water, such as a bathroom or sauna;
In conditions of high humidity, such as in the rain or fog; Where your Pocket
PC will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near a fire or equipment
that emits high temperatures; In direct sunlight; or In a sealed automobile
left in the sun and subject to high tem peratures.
4
Never drop your Pocket PC or subject it to severe shock. Dropping your
Pocket PC or subjecting it to severe shock could cause the built-in battery
to leak, ignite and/or rupture.
Always immediately remove your Pocket PC and its battery from the vicin-
ity of any open flame in the event the built-in battery leaks liquid or emits an
unusual odor. Continued use of your Pocket PC under either of these con-
ditions could cause ignition (i.e., fire) of the leaked battery liquid, or rupture.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid
when in contact with the eyes or skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes.
Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes thor-
oughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the
event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away
immediately with clean water.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modification to your
Pocket PC. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause
bodily injury or property damage, as well as damage to the Pocket PC
itself.
Failure to follow the above directions concerning use and storage could
result in damage to your Pocket PC or bodily injury and property damage
due to battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.
CAUTION
Never raise the sound volume level to high when using your Pocket PC
with earphones. An excessive sound volume level could cause damage to
your hearing.
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 clear water.
Never allow infants or small children within reach of your Pocket PC.
Infants or small children could injure themselves if allowed access to
your Pocket PC.
DANGER
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC Adaptor, and never alter
their Power Supply Cables or plugs as exposure to electric shock hazards
could result.
Always contact an authorized service provider, if repair or replacement is
required.
5
WARNING
Always use the AC Adaptor that has been provided with your Pocket PC.
Bodily injury or property damage could occur as a result of the use of an
unauthorized and incompatible AC Adaptor in violation of this Warning.
Never connect or disconnect the AC Adaptor with wet hands. Connecting
or disconnecting the AC Adaptor to a power source with wet hands could
cause electric shock.
CAUTION
Never place an AC Adaptor on a wooden surface (or any other surface that
could be marred by exposure to heat) while it is in use, since its surface
temperature increases during normal use. Always rest it on a suitable heat-
insulating material.
Never cover the AC Adaptor with any object while it is in use, and never
place it adjacent to a heat source. An excessive temperature increase could
detrimentally affect its performance.
Never place a Power Supply Cable near a heat source, as damage to the
cord or to its insulation could result.
Always use a surge protector when utilizing the AC Adaptor during an elec-
trical storm. Otherwise, a power surge could result in the loss of stored
data.
Insert the power plug to a household electric outlet.
When travelling abroad, never plug the AC Adaptor into a power source
that does not correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified
on the rating plate of the unit, as equipment damage will result.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the power plug with damp or wet
hands. Connecting or disconnecting the power plug with damp or wet hands
could result in an electric shock.
Never leave an open container, such as a cup or glass, containing a liquid
near the AC Adaptor. Spilled liquid coming in contact with the AC Adaptor
could cause a fire or electric shock.
Always ensure the power plug pins are clean and free of dust or other
foreign material by wiping the pins with a clean dry cloth. Dust or other
foreign material accumulation on the power plug pins could cause fire.
Always unplug the power plug from an outlet by grasping the power plug
itself. Never pull on the Power Supply Cable to disconnect the Power Sup-
ply Cable from an outlet. Pulling on the Power Supply Cable could cause a
fire or electric shock as a result of damage to the Power Supply Cable.
6
Never use a worn or damaged AC Adaptor Power Supply Cable or plug, or
a worn or damaged extension cord or plug. The use of a worn or damaged
Power Supply Cable or plug could result in electric shock or fire. Always
contact an authorized service provider immediately to obtain a suitable Power
Supply Cable replacement.
Never bend or twist a Power Supply Cable, and never pull on a Power
Supply Cable in an attempt to remove a plug from an outlet. Always grasp
the plug directly when unplugging a Power Supply Cable to avoid causing
any damage to the cord.
Never plug the AC Adaptor into an overloaded multiple outlet, power strip
or surge protector to prevent blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
Never place heavy objects on a Power Supply Cable, as that could result in
damage to the cord.
Always confirm that the AC Adaptor plug (and the extension cord and
plug, if any) have been fully inserted into the receptacle, to assure a
secure electrical connection.
