scan a bar code. Operation of the bar code reader is covered in Bar
Code Reader on page 103.
Replacing the Battery in the Bar Code
Reader Interface Module
The bar code reader uses a separate 9 volt battery. Normally, the
battery will provide one year of operation. Battery life will depend
on usage.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the four screws in the bottom of the interface
unit. Lift the bottom cover off.
2. Remove the 9 V battery and replace it with a new one.
The replacement battery must be one of four types:
Energizer® No. En22, Kodak® SupraLife, Duracell®,
Eveready® Energizer, or Radio Shack® Enercell®.
See Bar Code Reader Control Drawing on page 152 for
details.
3. Replace the bottom cover. The cover incorporates a
tongue and groove design. If it does not fit flush, then
rotate it 180º and place it on the top cover.
4. Replace the four screws in the bottom cover.
Shoulder Strap
Use the shoulder strap for field operation to facilitate single­handed
operation.
To use the shoulder strap:
1. Snap one end of the shoulder strap to the connector on
MicroFID’s handle. See Figure 1 for the location of the
connectors.
