2 Safety
2.4 Residual risks
2.4.1 Risk of an explosion caused by electrical ignition sources
Electrical ignition sources can trigger fires and explosions in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Non-approved components
Specific hand-held scanners and accessories (including universal supply module, battery, cable) are
suitable for each potentially explosive atmosphere. Hand-held scanners and components that have
not been approved for the respective potentially explosive atmosphere may trigger explosions.
Only use components that have been approved for the relevant potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Spark formation during battery change and cable connection
Sparks can arise when changing the battery or connecting cables. Sparks can trigger an explosion in
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only insert or remove the battery outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect the cable outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Always have cables connected by a qualified electrician.
Spark formation caused by the battery falling out / the connection cable coming unplugged
The following risks arise if the safety lock on the underside of the hand-held scanner is not correctly
closed:
‒ The battery on a Bluetooth hand-held scanner can fall out.
‒ The connection cable on a wired hand-held scanner can come unplugged.
This can produce sparks which can trigger an explosion.
Check that the safety lock is correctly closed before taking the hand-held scanner into the
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Broken enclosure: loss of explosion protection
The hand-held scanner has been tested for falls from a height of up to 2.4 m (7.9 ft) (Zone 2 / Div. 2)
and 1.2 m (4 ft) (Zone 1 / Div. 1). There is a risk of the enclosure breaking during falls from a greater
height, in which case the explosion protection is no longer guaranteed.
Protect hand-held scanners from falling from a greater height.
If the hand-held scanner has fallen from a greater height or you suspect a damaged enclosure:
– Remove the hand-held scanner from the potentially explosive atmosphere immediately.
– Send the faulty hand-held scanner to BARTEC and reference the RMA number you were
issued.
Corrosion: loss of explosion protection
The enclosure of the hand-held scanner has protection class IP67, however constant exposure to
moisture can lead to corrosion. This may lead to the loss of the explosion protection.
Protect hand-held scanners against constant exposure to moisture.
Do not subject hand-held scanners to any damp weather conditions.

2.4.2 Damage to eyes caused by laser light
The hand-held scanner operates with a Class 2 laser. Laser beams can damage eyes.
Do not look into the laser beam.
2.4.3 Risks of cuts if the scan window is broken
The scan window may become damaged if the hand-held scanner falls down. There is a risk of cuts
if you reach into the broken or cracked area.
When getting the hand-held scanner out, secure it to prevent it falling down.
Only get the hand-held scanner out when it reaches its destination.
If the scan window is broken:
– Do not touch the broken area.
– Do not use the hand-held scanner.
– Send the faulty hand-held scanner to BARTEC and reference the RMA number you were
issued.
2 Safety
2.4.4 Health hazard in the case of incorrect disposal
Lithium ion batteries on the Bluetooth hand-held scanner contain pollutants that can be harmful to
health.
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally sound way in accordance with regional regulations.
2.5 Preventing damage to property
2.5.1 Short circuit caused by incorrect connection
Incorrect electrical connection can cause a short circuit, thereby damaging the hand-held scanner.
Always have the hand-held scanner connected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
connection diagram.
2.5.2 Storage at too high a temperature
A thermal fuse prevents the hand-held scanner getting too hot during operation and triggering an
explosion. There is also a risk of the hand-held scanner getting too hot if the hand-held scanner is
stored outside of the permissible ambient temperatures. The hand-held scanner is damaged as soon
as the thermal fuse responds.
Only store the hand-held scanner within the permissible ambient temperatures.
2.5.3 Contact with chemicals
The enclosure of the hand-held scanner consists of polycarbonate that has only limited chemical
resistance. Contact with chemicals can break the enclosure.
Do not bring the hand-held scanner into contact with chemicals.
2.5.4 Aggressive cleaning agents
Aggressive cleaning agents can attack and fade the scan window, thereby impairing the scanning
functionality. In extreme cases scanning is no longer possible.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the hand-held scanner.

5.2 Storage
5 Transport and storage
5.2.1 Battery
Pay attention to the ambient conditions when storing the hand-held scanner and battery (see
Chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden., P. Fehler! Textmarke nicht
definiert.).
Heat, cold, extreme environmental influences and serious damage caused by falls can lead to
restricted charge capacity, the rusting of metal parts and the escape of electrolyte.
There may a permanent reduction in quality if the battery is stored for more than six months.
The standard warranty period for batteries from BARTEC is 6 months, irrespective of whether they
are bought separately or together with a hand-held scanner.
Always store batteries charged to at least 50 % in a cool and dry place outside the device.
When storing for more than one year: check the state of charge at least once a year and charge
to at least 50 % of the charge capacity where necessary.
Replace the battery if there is a substantial reduction in the operating time.

When implementing an HID solution, a software wedge application (which is not sold by BARTEC)
must be installed when using a universal supply module on the PC / host.
The software wedge application is used to convert the incoming data as keyboard entry and for
entering the data into the currently active field on the PC / host.
The complete list of all functions with precise descriptions can be found in the ZEBRA Product
Reference Guide.
Some important functions are explained in the following chapters.
6.4.1 Pairing (only with BCS3678ex)
Pairing registers a hand-held scanner on the cradle so that the hand-held scanner and cradle can
exchange data and information.
The Type 17-A1Z0-0014 and G7-A0Z0-0010 cradles (based in terms of functions on the Zebra
STB3678) work using two modes:
‒ Point-to-point
‒ Multipoint-to-point
In the point-to-point mode, the hand-held scanner is paired to the cradle either by plugging it into the
cradle (when “Pair on Contacts” is activated) or by scanning the pairing barcode on the cradle.
In the multipoint-to-point mode up to seven scanners can be connected to one cradle. To use this
function, you must scan the Multipoint barcode under “multipoint-to-point communication” in the
ZEBRA Product Reference Guide.
When pairing with the universal supply module:
The universal supply module only supports one point-to-point connection.
6 Configuration
6.4.2 Pairing with other Bluetooth-enabled devices (only with BCS3678ex)
The hand-held scanner can communicate with other devices via Bluetooth or by pairing with a cradle.
Detailed information about the operating modes, Bluetooth and pairing can be found in the ZEBRA
Product Reference Guide in Chapter 4 “Radio Communications”.
6.4.3 Scanning when out of range (only with BCS3678ex)
If a radio connection exists between the hand-held scanner and cradle, the hand-held scanner
transfers all scanned data directly after scanning the barcode.
If no radio connection exists, scanning of the barcode data is not possible (basic setting).
If the function for scanning out of range has been activated, it is also possible to scan barcode data
when outside the radio range of the cradle. All scanned data are stored temporarily in the hand-held
scanner until the radio connection is available.
