mW. The laser scanner meets the CDRH/IEC Class II requirements.
As with other strong light sources the operator should avoid looking directly into the
laser beam. Occasionally irradiation with CDRH/IEC Class II laser light is not known
to be injurious.
The required security labels are located below the laser light window.
Never open the laser module or perform any maintenance work at the module
because the laser security specification may be injured. The laser module may only
be repaired in the factory.

Care Instructions _________________________________________________________

4. Care Instructions
Your data capturing device with integrated laser scanner module is a high grade
and robust unit consisting of electronic and laser optic devices. An faulty treatment
of this device can considerable affect function and efficiency. To guarantee lasting
and constant operation you should consider the following care instructions!
Care of the Scanner
The red scanner screen of your terminal forms and the inner resided scanner
module form an optical unit. This screen is provided with a special coating. A
damage of this coating i.e. by scratches may lead to problems when scanning
barcodes. Because of this a clean and moist cloth should be used when cleaning
the screen. Before rough dirt may be removed with a soft brush. Cleaning agents
may not be used for the screens care and cleaning.
Terminal of the MobiScan family habe an aluminum case. All other scanners from
ours have a plastic case. Although both are robust materials for cleaning only a soft
cleaning angent should be used.
Dealing with the Devices Markings
The attached marking labels (warning and security labels) may not be removed on
principle. They are the legitimation for the operation with this terminal. Making the
terminals data plate or informations on the data plate (i.e. the serial number)
unrecognizable should be avoided. Missing information on the data plate may lead
to a more difficult identification. This may further lead to problems which couldn’t be
solved by telephone. In this case the terminal must be sent in.
Further we recommend the attachment of additional information (i.e. department or
personal numbers) labels with plastic back. Simple paper back labels aren’t durable
enough. In that way sticking parts may smudge the scanner screen. In this case on
the one hand the scanner function will be affected, on the other hand a cleaning
without ignoring the above instructions woun’t possible because a solvent would be
required.
Repairing Screen Damages
In case of overstress the screen may be loosen. We explicitly attention to that self
repairing with short time glue may affect in such strong way that the screen or the
casing must be changed.
The Communication/Charging-Adapter deals
for connection a mobile terminal to an RS232 port of a PC or other computer. The
Communication/Charging-Adapter is equipped with a fast charging device, which also
deals for loading the integrated mobile
teriminal accus.
Starting Operation
1. Switch of your computer.
2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the desired COM port of your PCs.
3. Connect the Communication/Charging-Adapters main plug to a 220 V AC outlet.
The ground protection must be connected. The Communication/ ChargingAdapters LED glowes green.
4. Now switch on your computer an start your application program.
5. Connect the mobile terminal to the am Communication/Charging-Adapter. The
Communication/Charging-Adapters LED now glows orange. The trickle charging
mode is active an the mobile terminal is ready for data communication.

Switching on/off
The device switches on in case of
• hitting the keyboard (devices with numerical keyboard) respectively the power on
key (upper left, devices with alphanumerical keyboard),
• pressing the scanner switch,
• connecting the serial interface to a PC where an application is active which has
activated the RTS signal of the serial interface (
and LAP-EC).

connected or on the PC no application is active which has set the serial interfaces

switched off.
With RF devices (only in case of an actual entry mask) the data net activity is shown
on the last LCD position. The symbol ∗ indicates that the device was polled from the
RF server with its address (serial no.). The symbol o indicates that the device was
polled from the RF server with the login address (000000). Normally this two
symbols are changing alternately in case of an logged in device. If only the symbol o
is shown the device is not logged in. If a device resides outside the active RF area
or the RF server is not active no one of those two symbols are shown.

What should be notice with laser light devices
The laser scanners use a low-powerlaser diode for visible laser light. As wiht any
bright light source the user should avoid staring directly into the laser beam.
Momentary exposure to a CDRH Class II laser is not known to be harmful.
The required safety labels are placed below the laser light window and above the
trigger switch.
