into the compartment as
shown in the illustration.
Make sure that the
battery pack’s terminals
are facing in the correct
direction. Next, slide the
battery pack in the
direction shown in the
illustration so that it
locks into place.
3 Close the battery pack compartment cover.
Close the cover and then slide the open
button in the direction indicated by the arrow
to secure the cover in place.
Note that the battery pack will not supply
power correctly unless the battery pack
compartment cover is closed securely.
Double check to make sure that the cover of
your unit is closed correctly.
E-10
To remove the battery pack
Always make sure that Data Collector power is turned off before removing the battery pack.
Also, never remove the backup batteries while the battery pack is removed. Doing so will
cause all memory contents to be deleted.
1 Slide the battery pack compartment open
button in the direction indicated by the arrow
in the illustration, and open the cover.
2 Slide the battery pack in the direction shown
in the illustration and then remove it.
Important! • The power of the battery pack is depleted by testing prior to shipment
and by natural discharging during shipping and storage. Be sure to
use the procedures on page E-19 to charge the battery pack before
using the unit for the first time.
• A message appears on the LCD whenever battery pack power drops
below a certain level. Charge the battery pack as soon as possible
after the lower power message appears.
• Always make sure that the Data Collector is turned off before opening
the lithium ion battery pack compartment cover. The Data Collector is
designed to automatically turn off power whenever the battery pack
compartment cover opened. This can cause loss of memory data and
system malfunction when power is turned back on.
• Make sure that the battery pack never becomes shorted. A short can
cause damage to the battery pack.
• Repeated charges cause deterioration of the battery pack. If you find
that your battery pack does not provide enough operation even after
you bring it to a full charge, it probably means it is time to replace it.
• If you do not plan to use the Data Collector for a long time, protect
against running down the power of the backup batteries by fully
charging the battery pack.
E-11
Installing and Removing Batteries
Backup batteries
The backup batteries protect the units memory contents whenever power from the main
battery pack is interrupted due to replacement of the battery pack, when the battery pack is
dead, etc.
Two lithium batteries are used for backup. The #2 backup battery is installed in the Data
Collector prior to shipment, but you must install the #1 backup battery that comes with the
Data Collector before using it for the first time.
Important! Dual backup batteries are employed in order to protect the #1 backup
battery from going dead. Note that memory contents cannot be
protected by the #2 backup battery alone.
To install the #1 backup battery
1 Loosen the screw that secures the backup
battery compartment cover in place. The
cover is designed so the screws cannot be
removed from the holes in order to protect
against particles falling out of the screw
threads into the battery compartment.
2 Lift up the side of the cover indicated in the
illustration, and then slide the cover in the
direction indicated by the arrow. Make sure
you do not damage the tab on end of the
cover.
3 Loosen the screw that holds the #1 backup
battery holder in place, and remove the
holder. The cover is designed so the screws
cannot be removed from the holes in order to
protect against particles falling out of the
screw threads into the battery compartment.
E-12
#2 backup battery
#1 backup battery
4 Wipe the surface of the lithium battery you
will install with a soft, dry cloth. Load the
battery into the Data Collector so that its
positive (+) side faces up (so you can see it).
5 Insert the tabs of the backup battery holder
into the slots provided, and secure it in place
with its screw.
6 Carefully replace the backup battery
compartment cover. Insert the tab of the
cover into the slot provided.
7 Secure the cover in place with its screw.
Important! • Whenever you remove the #1 backup battery and the main power
supply’s battery pack at the same time, memory contents are lost,
regardless of whether or not the #2 backup battery is installed. The #2
back-up battery alone does not protect memory contents.
• Never remove the #2 backup battery from the Data Collector.
• Always make sure that the + side of the lithium batteries are facing up
(so you can see them) when installing them into the Data Collector.
• Replace the #1 backup battery as soon as possible after the backup
battery replacement message appears on the Data Collector’s LCD.
Before replacing the #1 backup battery, always check to make sure
that the lithium ion battery pack’s power is not low first. Replacing the
#1 backup battery while the lithium ion battery pack’s power is low can
result is loss of all data stored in Data Collector memory.

Important! Every time you turn on power, the system normally searches for an
application program in the following sequences: memory card, RAM
disk, F-ROM disk. The system initialization routine is launched only if
memory contents have been lost (due to both the lithium ion battery
pack and backup battery going dead) or if an application program
cannot be found.
E-18
Charging the Battery Pack
The lithium ion battery pack is the Data Collector’s main power supply that provides power
for normal operations and memory backup. This means it is important to recharge or replace
the battery pack as soon as possible after the low battery message appears on the LCD.
Battery pack charging can be performed using any of the following options: DT-9021CHGE
Single Charger, DT-9020ADP-G/DT-9020ADP-U Charger.
To charge the battery pack
1 Plug the charger unit’s power cord into a
power outlet.
2 Slide the battery pack in the direction
indicated by the arrow in the illustration to
install it onto the charger unit. The charge
indicator (orange) lights at this time to
indicate that the battery pack is being
charged.
Charge indicator
3 After the charge indicator goes out (indicating
that charging is complete), slide the battery
pack in the opposite direction and remove it
from the charger unit.
Charging time
Charging time: approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes
Note! The above times may differ depending on the temperature in your area.
E-19
Charging the Battery Pack
To charge battery packs using the Charger
1 Press the Data Collector’s Power switch to
turn off power.
2 Plug the charger into an electrical outlet, and
then attach the charger to charger connector
on the side of the Data Collector.
3 The Data Collector’s charge indicator lights
to indicate that the charge operation is being
performed. Charging is complete when the
charge indicator is no longer lit. It takes about
ten hours to achieve a full charge.
Important! • Removing the lithium ion battery pack from the Data Collector
consumes backup lithium battery power, which is used to retain data
in memory. This is no problem for short periods, but leaving the Data
Collector without a charged lithium ion battery pack for long periods
can cause the backup battery to go dead, resulting in loss of all
programs and data stored in Data Collector memory. Because of this,
we recommend that you keep charged battery packs on hand for use
while other battery packs are being charged.
• Long use of a lithium ion battery pack gradually shortens the amount
of operating time it provides after each charge. This is normal for the
lithium ion battery pack and does not indicate malfunction. If you find
that the amount of time provided by your battery pack is too short, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Never try to use the DT-9021CHGE or DT-9020ADP-G/DT-9020ADP-U
charger to charge any other type of battery pack.
• Avoid locations subject to vibration when performing the charge
operation.
• The battery pack discharges even when it is not loaded in the Data
Collector. Make sure you load the battery pack into the Data Collector
within at least one or two days after it is charged.
• It is recommended that a battery pack be removed from the DT9021CHGE or DT-9020ADP-G/DT-9020ADP-U charger within about 24
hours after full charge is attained.

2 Mount the Data Collector onto the Optical
Communication Unit making sure that their
charger connectors join securely with each
other.
If the Data Collector is turned off, it will turn
on automatically once a power connection is
established (this feature can be disabled by
software).
The power indicator of the Optical
Communication Unit should change to green
at this time, and the charge indicator should
light up red to indicate that the battery pack is
being charged.
Important! • Use the charger units designed for this product to charge the specified
battery packs only. Never try to charge another type of battery pack.
• The battery pack discharges even when it is not loaded in the Data
Collector. Make sure you load the battery pack into the Data Collector
as soon as possible after it is charged.
• Recharge the battery pack at a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and
40°C (104°F). Charging outside this range can cause leaking of battery
fluid and generation of heat by the battery. It can also reduce battery
performance and shorten battery life.
• To ensure proper battery pack charging, periodically wipe off the
charge connectors of the Optical Communication Unit and Data
Collector with a cotton swab or soft, dry cloth.

Lock
button
Important! • The PC card is not detected by the Data Collector when the PC card
lock button is in the LOCK release position. Sliding the PC card lock
button to the LOCK release position while the Data Collector is turned
on causes power to turn off automatically. Interrupted operations can
result in system malfunction when the Data Collector is turned back
on.
• Improper installation of a PC card can result in system malfunction and
inability to read the card.
To remove a card from the Data Collector
1 Turn off the Data Collector, turn it over, and
lift up the PC card slot cover while pressing
the projection.
2 Slide the PC card lock button in the direction
of the arrow to release LOCK and then press
the PC card eject button to eject the PC card.
Remove the PC card from the Data Collector.

Operating Precautions
Data Collector
• Never try to remove the lithium ion battery pack while the Data Collector is turned on.
Doing so can cause data stored in memory to be deleted.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the exterior of the Data
Collector’s case. Condensation can cause malfunction of the Data Collector, so wait until
the moisture dries completely before using it.
Bar Code Readers
• Handle bar code readers carefully to avoid damage to lenses. Should the lens of a bar
code reader become dirty or dusty, carefully remove it using a blower or a soft cloth.
• Grasp the connector plug whenever connecting or disconnecting a bar code reader. Make
sure you slide the plug straight into and straight out of the socket, and do not apply
excessive force left or right. Incorrect connection or disconnection of a bar code reader
plug can bend pins and cause other serious damage.
• Some bar codes may no be readable with a single pass because they are improperly
printed, soiled, etc. When this happens, repeat the read operation until a successful read
can be obtained.
PC Cards
• Do not drop or bend PC cards or otherwise subject them to strong impact or rough
handling.
• Take care to avoid letting dirt or dust get onto PC card connectors.
• Always replace a PC card into its soft case when storing it.
• Avoid exposing PC cards to direct sunlight for long periods.
• Never try to take PC cards apart.
