Safety Information

Regulatory Information

Caution: Only use approved and UL Listed accessories, battery packs and battery chargers. Do NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers or batteries. All components must be dry before connecting to an external power source.

Power Supply

Use only the approved power supply 50-14000-148 output rated 5 Vdc and minimum 2 A. The power supply is certified to EN60950-1 with SELV outputs. Use of alternative power supply will invalidate any approval given to this device and may be dangerous.

Warning for Use of Wireless Devices

Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres

You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Safety in Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers

Persons with Pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned ON and hence they should not carry the device in a breast pocket

Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.

Hearing Aids

The wireless device may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.

Other Medical Devices

Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

Battery Information

Our rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry.

However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement.

Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.

When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur.

Store batteries discharged in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, they should be charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery. Batteries must be charged within the 32° to 95° F (0° to +35° C) ambient temperature range.

Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.

Battery Caution

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrectly type.

Dispose of used battery according to the local disposal instructions.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

English: For EU Customers: All products at the end of their life must be returned to the reseller for recycling.

Application Programming Interface

Operating System

The API operation has been verified with the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows 7 32/64 bit

Microsoft Windows 8 32/64 bit

EC Version

12 or later version can support

OpenFunKeyLib

[Function]

This opens the Function Key API service.

[Format] int OpenFunKeyLib (char *FunKeyControlVersion)

[Argument] uchar *FunKeyControlVersion → get EC version.

[Return Value]

If opening service was successful, the return SV_ERROR_SUCCESS value, If there is can’t found EC control, the SV_ERROR_FAILED_NO_FOUND_DEVICE are returned, if return

SV_ERROR_FAIL the service can’t form EC control get return value.

[Explanation]

Before using an API function other than this function, it is necessary that this function be executed first.

[Example] char HIDVer[100];

If(OpenFunKeyLib(HIDVer) == SV_ERROR_SUCCESS)

//Normal Processing

Printf(HIDVer); else

//Error Processing

SetFunKey1

[Function]

Set Button 1 output key.

[Format] int SetFunKey1(const char* SetKey, bool ButtonEnable)

[Argument] const char* SetKey → Set button1 output key. bool ButtonEnable → Enable/Disable key output.

Trur is enable, False is disable.

[Return Value]

If set value successful, the return SV_ERROR_SUCCESS value. If there is an error, the

SV_ERROR_FAIL are returned.

[Explanation]

None

[Example]

DWORD Rtn;

Rtn = SetFunKey1("A", true); //Set button 1 output ‘A’

© Copyright Poindus Systems 2015 P18 / 21
