Care and Handling of the Charge Pack
Proper handling of the batteries while recharging extends the useful life of the
batteries. New charge packs are shipped uncharged. In order to break in the new
battery, we suggest that you fully charge and discharge the packs two times so
they can be conditioned for full capacity and longer life.
If the charge pack is left plugged in for extended periods of time (for instance,
several weeks) the contacts between the prongs may become dirty, causing
charging problems. Clean the prongs with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to
remove any accumulation of dirt.
Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard host interface cable is attached to the cordless base with a 15-pin
D-type receptacle connector. Tighten the holding screws to properly seat the
interface connector. The cable is designed to be field replaceable.
Auxiliary Port cables use a 10-position modular plug. To remove the Aux Port
cable, depress the dimple located on the bottom of the base unit underneath the
Aux Port and pull the cable from the unit.
Note: Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized
distributor.
When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
Recharging and Replacing the Cordless Scanner’s Charge
Pack
To maintain the maximum charge capacity, batteries should be allowed to fully
discharge prior to charging. It is recommended that you establish a process
where a battery is used until it is fully discharged and fully charged before its next
use. See "Charging Your Charge Pack" on page 1-5 for instructions on
recharging and replacing the cordless scanner charge pack.
To Reset Factory Settings
If you are unsure of the programming options that have been set up in your
cordless system, or you’ve changed some options and now want the factory
settings restored, refer to “Reset Factory Settings” on page 2-17 and scan the
appropriate
Factory Default Settings bar code.
