Safety notes

FUJITSU Pocket LOOX N520 - Safety notes - 1

Observe the safety notes in the "Safety" manual and the following safety notes to prevent damage to your device, data loss or injuries.

  • During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions in the "Technical data" chapter.
  • Connect the power adapter plug to the PSC11R-050 power adapter. The power adapter plug must never be plugged into an electrical outlet without the PSC11R-050 power adapter.
  • The included PSC11R-050 power adapter complies with the requirements of the country in which you purchased the Pocket PC. Make sure the PSC11R-050 power adapter is approved for the country in which it is used.
  • The PSC11R-050 power adapter may only be connected to an electrical outlet when the Pocket PC or the cradle is connected to the PSC11R-050 power adapter.
  • Do not use the PSC11R-050 power adapter for other devices.
  • Do not use power adapters which are not specially approved for this Pocket PC.
  • You may only operate the Pocket PC with the PSC11R-050 power adapter if the nominal voltage of the PSC11R-050 power adapter (100 V to 240 V) matches the local mains voltage.
  • When transporting the device and on a trip, observe the information in the section "Underway with the Pocket PC".
  • The high transmitting power of the consumer infrared interface (CIR) may cause technical problems for infrared devices (e.g. mobile phone, PDA) which are not suitable for CIR or are too close to the transmitter. Before you set up an Infrared data connection to a device such as a mobile phone or PDA, check that the CIR is not active or not currently being used by another program.
  • The Bluetooth and WLAN radio components are initialised and become active for a short period if the batteries of the Pocket PC are changed or it is reset (cold boot or returned to delivery condition). Be aware of this if you are in an environment where radio components must not be used (e.g. hospital, aircraft).

Underway with the Pocket PC

Observe the following information when you travel with your Pocket PC.

Transporting Pocket PC

  • Switch the Pocket PC off.
  • Disconnect the cables from the Pocket PC.
  • If the device needs to be shipped, use the original packaging or other suitable packaging to protect it from damage caused by mishandling.
  • Use the pouch for transporting the Pocket PC that provides protection against jolts and impacts (the protective pouch is available as an accessory).
  • Protect the Pocket PC from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g., direct sunlight in a car).
  • If you wish to use your Pocket PC during a flight, check first with the airline if this is allowed and under which conditions.
  • In some countries the use of Bluetooth is restricted or completely prohibited. Ask about the regulations in the country you will be travelling in before starting your trip. As a precaution, switch Bluetooth off in case there is any uncertainty at your place of residence.
  • If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the PSC11R-050 power adapter can be operated with the local mains voltage. Do not use any other voltage converter!
  • If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may result.

Using the Pocket PC
