RF Terminal Operation
Using the RF Terminal keypad…
The RF Terminal is turned on by pressing the green ON/OFF button located in the upper left-hand corner of the RF
Terminal keypad.
It is a good idea to fully charge the RF Terminal before you use it the first time to make sure the battery charged. See
below for more information on battery charging.
The RF Terminal has a
Shut Down Time
feature that allows you to determine the length of time the RF Terminal must be inactive
before automatically shutting down to conserve battery power. When the RF Terminal shuts down, simply press the ON/OFF but-
ton to resume operation.
The keypad is custom designed for the RF Terminal operations. It has numeric and control keys in the non-shifted state, and alpha
characters in its shifted state. You can readily determine if the SHIFT is on by the cursor on the display. When SHIFT is on, the
cursor is a large rectangle. When SHIFT is off, the cursor is a narrow underline character. For all prompts which ask for a YES or
NO response, the ENTER key, is the YES reply, and the 0 (zero) key is the NO reply. As you key data, you will see each charac-
ter displayed on the screen. If you make a mistake, you can delete the last character by pressing the DELETE key, or you can
clear all characters displayed on the screen by pressing the CLEAR key.
Battery Life Indicator
The RF Terminal detects low battery and displays the following message:
LOW BATTERY
Charge Battery
Hit Any Key_
At this point you have approximately 10% of battery life remaining. You should complete what you are doing and charge the bat-
tery soon. When the battery is too low to operate the unit properly another message is displayed:
Battery too Low to Operate
Hit Any Key to Power Down
If you turn it back on without charging batteries, you may experience constant beeping, intermittent scanning, and very irritating
symptoms that look like equipment failure.
The RF Terminal also has a battery life indicator that can be accessed while operating in ONE-WAY or TWO-WAY mode or
while in the MENU. To display the remaining battery life of the battery (as well as the date and time) press the
STATUS
key:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
BATTERY: ||||||||||||||||||||
zz%
R7Uxxx ID=0 CH=0 RL=N
SC=N RF=8C C=N
zz=percent in numbers i.e. 99, 10, 05
Press the
STATUS
key again to resume processing.
The lifetime of the RF Terminal's Li-Ion battery is 500-1000 charge cycles. If the battery runtime seems to be significantly shorter
than when the device was new, the battery should be replaced. If you have the optional “gun” handle with the extended battery
then both batteries should be replaced at the same time. The main battery is a common digital camera battery sold as Fujifilm NP-
120 or Pentax D-LI7. We use a high quality Japanese Li-Ion cell in our OEM pack that we supply with the RF Terminal. You can
obtain a replacement from Worth Data (P/N: L02) . Our pack is rated at 1950 mAh and provides the longest runtime available. Do
not use a battery pack of unknown quality or origin. Doing so can risk damage to your unit. The optional handle battery is custom
made for Worth Data and must be ordered from us.
Your old battery should be recycled. You can get free recycling information at: http://www.rbrc.org/
