Please read me first 

Please contact your nearest distributor, if using in other countries. 
 
The latest precision manufacturing technology yields LCD panels with an effective resolution of 
99.99% or higher. The downside, however, is that up to 0.01% of the pixels can remain permanently 
dark or lit on today’s state-of-the-art panels. 
Furthermore, please be aware that individual differences may occur in the screen color and brightness 
due to the characteristics of the white LEDs used in the LCD display backlight. 
 
The Customer shall not modify, reverse compile, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, and or 
otherwise tamper with our BHT’s firmware.

3.3

 

Charging the BHT 

The main battery may not be fully charged for shipment. Please charge the main battery to full before 
using the handy terminal. You may use the Charging Cradle or USB cable to charge the handy 
terminal. 
 

3.3.1

 

Charging Time 

Main battery 

The main battery powers the handy terminal to work. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge an 
empty main battery to full. The status indicator above the screen will light up in red while charging 
and will turn green when charging is complete.   

Sub-battery 

The sub-battery is mounted on the main board and used for retaining data when the battery is 
replaced or when it is removed. 
When the sub-battery is fully charged, data can be retained for at least five minutes. 
It may take approximately ten minutes to fully charge an empty sub-battery after installing the 
main one. Do not remove the battery so as to retain data properly. 

 

3.3.2

 

Charging Temperature 

Charging the battery at room temperature (18 °

C

 to 25 °

C

) is recommended in order to deliver optimal 

performance. Please note that battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or 
exceeds 40°C. The temperature to stop charging may vary according to the practical operating 
environment. 
 

3.3.3

 

Operation on Battery Power 

When 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+/LTE, Bluetooth   
v5.1&v2.1+EDR and GPS are all enabled on battery power, the main battery level will drop down 
substantially. Prolonged use of the display and continued scanning of barcodes will also affect battery 
level.  
In order to avoid the unexpected system shutting down when the battery level is low, we suggest that 
you keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the BHT to an external power. 
 
Remove the battery from the BHT or the Cradle then store in a cool and dry place if not using the BHT 
for an extended period of time. 
Storing a fully charged or depleted (unable to turn on the BHT) battery for long periods time may 
deteriorate the performance and life of the battery. 
For long-term storage, storing the battery at the 50% of the power level is recommended. 
During long-term storage, charge the battery cartridge fully once a year in order to maintain the battery 
performance. When fully charge, allow the battery to discharge down to the recommended level before 
restoring. 
The battery may swell over the years depending on usage environment. This is a characteristic of a 
lithium-ion battery and is not safety hazard.

Charging to the BHT 

Place the BHT upright and gradually incline it backward. 

Ö

 

 

Note: When placing the BHT on the cradle, be careful not to get the strap entangled between the BHT 
and the cradle. A specific part of BHT may get warm while charging depending on the operating 
environment and condition. This is not a malfunction. 
 

Removing the BHT from the Cradle 

Incline the BHT frontward and pull it out. 

Ö

 

 
 

Notice on the power connection of the charging cradle 

As for CU-M80U with the USB interface, both the power adapter and the USB cable can be used. 
To charge both BHT and the spare battery, use the power adapter.   
When charging with the USB cable, only BHT can be charged. Under the conditions, such as when the 
large capacity battery is installed in the BHT or when the BHT is under operation while charging, the 
use of the power adapter is recommended because these conditions may result in long-time charging 
or a charging error. Using a deteriorated battery may cause a charging error. In this case, replace the 
battery with the new one.
