Before You Begin

is section provides you with safety information, technical support

information, and sources for additional product information.

Safety Summary

Your safety is extremely important. Read and follow all warnings and

cautions in this document before handling and operating Intermec

equipment. You can be seriously injured, and equipment and data can be

damaged if you do not follow the safety warnings and cautions.

Do not repair or adjust alone

Do not repair or adjust energized equipment alone under any circum-

stances. Someone capable of providing ﬁrst aid must always be present

for your safety.

First aid

Always obtain ﬁrst aid or medical attention immediately after an injury.

Never neglect an injury, no matter how slight it seems.

Resuscitation

Begin resuscitation immediately if someone is injured and stops breath-

ing. Any delay could result in death. To work on or near high voltage,

you should be familiar with approved industrial ﬁrst aid methods.

Energized equipment

Never work on energized equipment unless authorized by a responsible

authority. Energized electrical equipment is dangerous. Electrical shock

from energized equipment can cause death. If you must perform autho-

rized emergency work on energized equipment, be sure that you comply

strictly with approved safety regulations.

Before You Begin

Safety Icons

is section explains how to identify and understand dangers, warnings,

cautions, and notes that are in this document. You may also see icons

that tell you when to follow ESD procedures.

A warning alerts you of an operating procedure, practice,

condition, or statement that must be strictly observed to

avoid death or serious injury to the persons working on the

equipment.

A caution alerts you to an operating procedure, practice,

condition, or statement that must be strictly observed to

prevent equipment damage or destruction, or corruption or

loss of data.

is icon appears at the beginning of any procedure in this

manual that could cause you to touch components (such as

printed circuit boards) that are susceptible to damage from

electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you see this icon, you

must follow standard ESD guidelines to avoid damaging the

equipment you are servicing.

Note: Notes either provide extra information about a topic or

contain special instructions for handling a particular condition

or set of circumstances.
