button in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration, and open the cover.
Open button
2 With the indentation of
the battery pack facing up (so you can see it), install the battery pack into the compartment as shown in the illustration. Make sure that the battery packs 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.

Press the Initialization button.
SYSTEM MENU EXIT
Launches the system maintenance program, which is used for installing application programs and other management tasks.
Exits the system initialization routine without calibrating the touch panel.
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 Collectors 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 units 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 Collectors 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 Collectors 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.

Using PC Cards

Your Data Collector supports use of a variety of PC cards (SRAM, FROM), which are available as options. SRAM and FROM cards are available in different capacities, so you can select the one that best suits your needs.

To load a memory card into the Data Collector

1 Turn off the Data Collector, turn it over, and
lift up the PC card slot cover while pressing the projection as shown in the illustration.
2 Slide the PC card lock
button in the direction of the arrow to release LOCK and then slide the end of the PC card marked with Data Collector. The arrow should be facing up (so you can see it).
into the
Make sure the mark is facing up (so you can see it). The location of the mark differs according to the card you are using.
3 Slide the PC card lock button to the LOCK
position.
E-36
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.
Important! Forcing the PC card eject button without first sliding the PC card lock
button to the LOCK release position can damage the internal mechanism of the Data Collector. Make sure you carefully follow the steps of the procedures described above whenever inserting or removing a PC card.

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 Collectors 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.
