1. The laser light emitted from the PTC’s internal laser scanner exits the unit through this lens.
$
Do not stare into the laser beam or point the scanner at anyone’s eyes; permanent eye damage could result.
2. The handstrap allows you to hold the PTC securely during operation. The handstrap must be removed to replace the PTC’s battery.
To remove the handstrap, turn the triangle approximately 45
o
clockwise and release it.
3. The battery door, located under the handstrap, must be removed to replace the battery.
4. The optical coupler allows the PTC to communicate with a host computer through an optional optical communication cradle. Instead of
sending data in the form of electronic signals through the micro DB-15 connector, the PTC sends the data in the form of pulses of light to
a similar coupler on the cradle. Then the cradle converts the pulses of light into electronic signals and transmits them to the host computer.
The cradle can also send data to the PTC via the optical coupler. Refer to the
SC-960RL/SC-960L User’s Guide
for instructions on using the cradle.
