SETTING UP THE READER
Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up
and communicating with its host.
1. Physically mount the Base station and connect it to
the Host as described in the BC9600 Quick Reference
Guide.
2. Charge the Batteries (see page
).
3. Link to the Base Station (see page
).
4. Select the Interface Type (see page
).
5. Configure the Reader starting on page
(optional,
depends on settings needed).
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Once the BC9600 is powered, you can charge the reader's
batteries. Place the PowerScan™ PM/PBT9600 into the
BC9600 base station. The LEDs on the base station / bat
-
tery charger turn green and flash orange (battery state of
charge <50%) / green (battery state of charge >50%)
during charge.
The battery is completely charged when the LED on the
base station / battery charger turns fixed green.
The battery can also be charged using the Multi Battery
Charger accessory.
NOTE: According to recent modification of Regula
-
tion for shipping Li-Ion based battery packs, the
products and their spare battery packs parts are
shipped with a very low residual charge (low state
of charge).
Hence the needs:
• that a new product must be fully recharged
before starting to use it.
and
• that battery packs of the stocked products PM/
PBT9600 and spare battery pack parts must be
periodically recharged. For instance, by using a
BC9600 base station powered up with a 12V Data
-
logic AC/DC adapter (cod.8-0935) for at least 30
minutes each 3 months.
