RV4002.
• AC Adaptor – Model PS1050 - G1 is used to power both snap module variants
• AC Adaptor – Model RV3055 is used to power the following docking stations and chargers: desktop
docking station, quad docking station and quad charger.
• Vehicle Power Outlet Adaptor – Model RV3050
• Desktop Docking Station – Model RV4000
• Quad Docking Station – Model RV4004
• Quad Charger – Model RV3004
7.3.1 Important Safety Instructions
• Before using the AC adaptor, Desktop Docking Station, Quad Charger, or Quad Docking Station, read all
instructions and markings on the housing.
• Use the AC adaptor, batteries, and other attachments recommended or sold by Psion.
• The mains power cord (sold separately) shall comply with the national safety regulations of the
country where the equipment is to be used.
• These docking stations cannot be used with non-EP10 PDAs. Although they may share the same
battery terminating connector, they are designed with different applications in mind.
• Do not operate the AC adaptor with a damaged cord or plug. Replace immediately.
• Do not disassemble the AC adaptor; it should be repaired by qualified service personnel. Incorrect
reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord when unplugging a docking station, pull the
plug rather than the cord.
• Make sure the cord is positioned so that it is not stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not operate the AC adaptor, the RV4000, or the RV4004, if it is struck by a sharp blow, dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; it should be inspected by qualified service personnel.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
- The plug pins on the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on the adaptor.
- The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition, and that the wire size is larger
than 18 AWG.
• Do not expose the AC adaptor to rain or snow. However, both the RV4000 and RV4004 are designed
to accept a wet EP10 hand-held without harmful effect.
• Do not place batteries in the docking stations if they are cold—temperatures below 0°C (32°F). Allow
them to warm up to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Do not use a docking station if, after an overnight charge, the battery feels warmer than the charger
housing. The dock should be inspected by qualified service personnel.
• Do not use a docking station if the battery, while charging, becomes more than lukewarm.
Note: For information about inserting, removing and charging the battery, refer to “The Battery”
on page 32. For battery specifications, refer to “Lithium-Ion 3600 mAh Battery Specifica-
tions” on page 208.
Important: Keep in mind when ordering a charger or docking station that you must also order
the country-compatible power cord separately.
