2. Overview
SOLUM Newton Core Plus 4-Color (BWRY) Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are components to a total
SOLUM’s ESL System. The SOLUM’s ESL System consists of the ESLs, Gateway(s), and Server and
is used to electronically display key information such as price and product information, that are
traditionally printed or written on paper in environments like supermarkets, warehouses, and factories.
Offered at an exceptionally competitive price, Newton Core Plus 4-Color (BWRY) ESLs encompass
essential features while incorporating a range of core functionalities that meet modern demands.
SOLUM’s Newton Core Plus 4-Color (BWRY) Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are the industry leading
solutions that provide the longest battery life, fastest update speed, built in LEDs, multiple pages per
ESL, and more to take the operation beyond just displaying information on the ESLs.
Newton Core Plus 4-Color (BWRY) Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) come in various useful sizes (1.6”,
2.1”, 2.5”, 2.8”, 3.5”, 4.2”, 5.8”, 7.5”) and colors to meet all customer use cases.

3. Specification
This section details specifications of each ESL by size. ESLs are identified by the diagonal
measurement of the display in inches. For example, a 2.8” ESL is referring to an ESL with the diagonal
display dimension of 2.8”.

FCC Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Caution
THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT
EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE.
SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
IMPORTANT NOTE : FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between
the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.

6.1. Usage Environment
Take extra caution when using this RF device in the vicinity of other electronic devices and appliances.
Most electronic devices and appliances use electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves emitted
by this RF device can affect other electronic devices and appliances.

device itself.
- Do not place or store the product on a sloped surface. The product may slide and fall off the
surface and become damaged.
- Use the product in temperatures ranges of 0℃~40℃/32℉~104℉(BWRY). Parts and circuits may
be damaged if operated or stored in extreme temperature.
- The display panel needs extra care during handling.
· Do not apply any impacts on the e-Paper display as it is fragile.
· Continuous exposure to excessive moisture (over 70% RH) or UV shortens display lifetime.
· Ghosting image may appear in temperature conditions of less than 15℃/59℉ for normal
tags. (If ΔL* >2, we call it ghosting phenomenon)
- Avoid areas with strong magnetism or subject to magnetism. Contact between the device and a
magnetic object can lead to malfunctions.
- Do not place the product near heat-producing kitchen appliances like a stove or a microwave or in
the vicinity of highly pressurized containers.
- External impact to the product, such as from being dropped, can damage the product.
- Twisting and bending the product can damage the exterior casing and the internal components.
- If this product operates abnormally while removing battery or replacing battery, it needs to be

discharged by contacting the battery terminals (+) and (-) in the product.
- This product uses the 2.4GHz frequency band for the wireless communication network. Radio
communications can be limited or affected by other applications that share the same frequency
band, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.
- A prior investigation into the radio environment is strongly required for efficient and smooth
installation.
- Frequent communications, updates and screen renewals may reduce battery lifetime.
- Low temperature environments may reduce battery life.

(1) Stand or lay down the labels.
(2) Wipe using wet tissues.
(3) Let the labels dry.
6.4. Battery Replacement
Audience
- Authorized personnel with the following knowledge are allowed to replace the battery: Battery /
Electronic assemblies (e.g. circuit board) / Compliance with the instruction
※ Note: Warranty is voided if battery is replaced by unauthorized personnel. (When batteries require
replacement, please contact the authorized personnel)
Instructions
- Risk of short circuit if battery is incorrectly installed/stored.
- Check that hands are dry before and at all times during the replacement Process.
- Keep batteries away from children and infants.
- Do not heat, charge, bend, drop, short-circuit and/or disassemble battery.
- Do not mix together used and new batteries or different battery types.
※ Note: Battery rarely has minor stain or leak.

7. Battery Handling Guide
7.1. Avoiding hazards in lithium battery handling
1. Do not short circuit (Fig. 1)
· Direct connection of plus (+) and minus (-) poles may result in leakage, heat generation,
explosion and/or fire.
· Do not store and/or carry batteries with metallic items, such as a necklace.
2. Do not stack and/or jumble batteries (Fig. 2)
· Stacked and/or jumbled batteries may cause a short circuit and/or forced discharge from
contact with other batteries.
· This may result in leakage, heat generation, explosion and/or fire.
3. Do not make forced discharge batteries (Fig. 3)
· On a forced discharge by an external power source, the battery voltage goes to negative and
this causes gas generation in inside of the battery.
· This may result in leakage, heat generation, explosion and/or fire.
4. Do not dispose of batteries in fire
· Disposal of batteries in fire is extremely dangerous with a risk of explosion and violent flaring.
5. Do not heat batteries
· Heating batteries above 100℃/212°F may damage the resin in crimping, separator and other
parts, potentially causing an electrolyte leak, internal short circuit, fire and/or explosion.
6. Do not solder directly onto batteries
· Direct soldering onto batteries may damage the resin in crimping, separator and other parts,
potentially causing an electrolyte leak, internal short circuit, fire and/or explosion.

7. Do not recharge batteries
· Recharging of batteries may result in internal gas generation, causing electrolyte leak, battery
swelling, fire and explosion.
8. Do not disassemble batteries
· Disassembly of batteries may generate gas that may irritate your throat.
· Lithium may also react with moisture to generate heat and fire.
9. Do not deform batteries
· Applying extreme pressure to batteries may cause deformation of the crimping and internal
short circuit, causing electrolyte leak, battery swelling, fire and explosion.
10. Do not mix different type batteries
· For some applications, mixing different types of batteries or new and old batteries, can cause
an over discharge due to differences in voltage and discharge capacities.
· This may lead to the risk of swelling and/or explosion.
11. Do not insert batteries with opposite polarity
· For some applications, battery insertion with opposite polarity (reverse insertion of plus and
minus) may result in leakage, heat generation, explosion and/or fire.
※ Please ensure the above precautions are strictly observed by related divisions including
Production, warehouse, Product technology, sales, quality, customer stores, S/I companies,
part-time workers, and external service companies.

7.2. Proper Storing and Disposing of Lithium Batteries
- To minimize risk of fire and explosion of batteries, be sure to follow the instructions below.
- Proper use of battery tray is outlined below.
With batteries properly placed into each tray slot → stack the trays in the same orientation → use an
empty tray on the top stack → tape the stack together to avoid falling apart.
- Follow local regulations for proper battery disposal guidelines.
