Installing and Charging Scanner Batteries
Installing Batteries
The rechargeable batteries are packed individually for shipping safety.
Please follow the steps below to install the batteries.
Caution:
Always use the rechargeable batteries provided by the manufacturer to avoid any
non-compatible danger or void the warranty.
1.
Loose the two screws enough to remove the battery cover. (It would not be
necessary to remove the screws otherwise may result in losing them.)
2. Insert
the
batteries into the scanner one by one. (positive pole to positive pole,
negative pole to negative pole)
3.
Put back the battery cover, and tighten both screws.
Charging Batteries
For users with the charging cradle, you can connect the charging cradle with power
adapter and the scanner is now in charging.
For cradle host users, you can connect the cradle with the power adapter first, then
place the scanner into the cradle in a 30° angle
and press down to make it seat tight
into the cradle; a clear and short beep is heard when position correctly into the cradle.
Once the scanner is well situated in the cradle, press down any one of the small
buttons at the side of LED lamp to start charging (Shown as Below).
The LED light in RED as in charge, and light in BLUE when full charged.
We call this “Smart Charge”, as battery life is well depended on the charging number
of times, so only charge the batteries when necessary by following the
abovementioned procedures to prolong your battery life.
You may also set up auto-charging as every time the scanner is placed into the
cradle. Follow and scan the appropriate barcode symbols to set up from
programming section of this booklet
.
Note:
For first charging, always charge the batteries over 5 hours continuously
to prolong your battery life.
After every full charge, you may use the scanner for 8 hours continuously.
Recommended charging environment is temperature in 0°C~35°C
(32°F~95°F).
Connecting the Cradle
There are two types of cradle to select for this scanner.
Charging
Cradle
Cradle
Host
Charging Cradle
This cradle designs for battery charging only, it does not support radio
communication. Simply connect the external DC-9V9W power adapter into it and
place scanner into cradle to start charging.
Cradle Host
The cradle host features with Bluetooth® wireless technology and designs to support
radio communication to the scanner. It the same has charging functionality.
Connection on Cradle Host
The scanner pairs with the cradle, when the scanner scans barcode data and passes
to cradle via radio communication, the cradle sends data to host by its interface cable.
Steps to connect the cradle to host as follows:
1.
Take the desirable interface cable and insert the RJ-45 connector to cradle
cable box until you hear a clear and short “click” sound, then connect the
other end to the host.
2.
When using Keyboard wedge and USB interface for radio communication, it
is not necessary to have an external power adapter if host has sufficient
power. But these interfaces need external power adapter when charging
batteries.
Note: When external power adapter (9V) is available, the cradle will disregard the
power supply from host (5V)
.
3.
If using RS-232 interface, it is necessary to plug an external power adapter
always. Plug the power adapter into the DC-Jack of cradle cable box.
(Shown as Below)
4.
Once cradle powers up, its LED lamp lights RED for one second then turns to
flashes BLUE light. The BLUE LED means the cradle is waiting to be
connected. If the scanner pairs with this cradle, they are connected, and
BLUE LED light is always on.
Detach the Interface Cable
There is a hole on cradle cable box, and use a sharp pin to push down the hole while
using another hand gently pull out the interface cable to release it slowly.
Pairing Scanner and Cradle Host
This scanner supports three radio communication types,
Cradle
Host,
SPP (Serial Protocol Profile) Slave
SPP (Serial Protocol Profile) Master.
Refer to User’s Manual for detailed description.
Paging the Scanner
Press Down Here
Paging the scanner often happens when you have two or more pairs of scanners and
communication cradles, and can not find which scanner pairs with its cradle.
Press any key on cradle, and it sends out a signal to its paired scanner, this scanner
beeps 3 beeps and lights BLUE LED 3 times. But if the scanner is out of its
receiving range, then it won’t react to the cradle.
Scanning
There are two ways to scan with this device.
Handheld
scanning
Hands-free
scanning
Handheld Scanning
In the handheld scanning, hand held the scanner and simply aim at a barcode label
and push the scanner trigger to scan. Avoid aim vertically to the barcode label as a
total reflection might effect the scanning performance.
Hands-free Scanning
Put the scanner into the cradle for hands-free scanning, and move the barcode label
approach the scanner scanning zone.
Maintenance
This device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Any
visibly dirty, or scratch on the scanner window will degrade reading performance,
therefore do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the window. When the scanner is
not operating, use a soft cloth or lens tissue and gently wipe the scanning window
lens.
Do not spread liquid or submerge into liquid in any circumstance.
To know more about Pairing or Programming of this scanner, please refer to
User’s Manual or contact your sales distributor for detail set up procedures.
