Power Supply
The Data Collector has both a main power supply (two AA (LR6)-size alkaline
batteries or a lithium-ion battery pack) and a backup power supply (lithium battery).
In this manual, the words "main battery" refer to both alkaline batteries and the
lithium-ion battery pack.
Low main battery power is indicated when the low voltage message appears on the LCD screen. Replace the main battery or charge the battery pack as soon as possible after the low voltage message appears.
[Warning]
Note Down Valuable Data
• Never remove both the main battery and backup battery at the same time. Doing so causes all program settings and data in Data Collector memory to be lost or changed. Data cannot be recovered once it is lost or corrupted. Be sure to make back-up copies of all important data. One way to do this is to use the optional Basic Cradle or Satellite Cradle to transfer data to a computer.
Important! • Never remove the main battery from the Data Collector while the power
is turned ON. Doing so can cause data in Data Collector memory to be lost. Before you remove the battery, be sure to turn the Data Collector OFF.
• Use only AA (LR6)-size alkaline batteries or the specified lithium-ion battery pack specified for the DT-900.
• The lithium-ion battery pack discharges naturally during the time it takes to get to you from the factory. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it for the first time.
• Never allow the terminals of the lithium-ion battery to become shorted. Doing so creates the danger of malfunction. Be sure to keep the battery pack in its special case when transporting or storing it.
• Repeat charging of the lithium-ion battery pack gradually shortens its ability to recharge. If you find that a fully charged battery pack provides only little operation time, it probably means you need a new battery pack.
• Whenever you do not plan to use the Data Collector for a long time, load two new alkaline batteries or a fully charged battery pack into the Data Collector to protect against power failure during non-use. Also, load new batteries or a fully charged battery pack before using the Data Collector after a long period of non-use.
• If the battery pack has been left over unused for a long period of time, the capacity remained decreases due to spontaneous discharge or chemical decomposition by the battery pack itself. If the battery pack fails to hold its operating duration after it has been fully charged, replace it with a new one. The battery pack may reach the end of its service life.

Setting the Unit
The following describes how to set up the Basic Cradle, Satellite Cradle and Charger Unit. You can set up these three types in one of two ways, on a wall or on a desktop.
To use the Basic Cradle / Satellite Cradle on a desktop (example: Satellite Cradle)
1 Simply place the Satellite Cradle on a desk,
table, or any other flat, stable surface, rubber feet down. You can even use the wood screws to anchor the base onto a horizontal surface. If you do not anchor the base, make sure you locate the Satellite Cradle where there is no danger of it falling. The nose guide is needed when you are using the forward­facing reader port model.
To hang the Basic Cradle / Satellite Cradle on a wall (example: Satellite Cradle)
1 Attach the wall unit screw.
When you are using the down-facing reader port model, remove the nose guide attached to the Data Collector, and attach the wall unit screw to A using the screws (supplied). When you are using the forward-facing reader port model, attach the wall unit screw to B using the screws (supplied) with the nose guide still attached.

Setting the Unit
2 Remove the installation covers (L, R).
3 Attach the wall units. Insert the wall units into
the holes, and then fix them in place by sliding them downwards.
4 Remove the two screws (one each at the top
and bottom) that secure the base to the Satellite Cradle.
5 Pressing down on the four corners of the
Satellite Cradle base, unhook the tabs, and remove the base from the unit.

6 Position the base on the wall where you want
to hang the Satellite Cradle, and use an awl or some other sharp object to mark the positions of the two wood screws.
7 Slip a spacer over each of the wood screws
and then drive the screws into the wall at the positions you marked in the previous step. Make sure that the spacers are oriented correctly. You will not be able to hook the Satellite Cradle onto the screws if the spacers are backwards.
8 Re-attach the base to the Satellite Cradle,
orienting it upside-down from its original mounting position when you removed it, and secure it in place with the two screws.
9 Hook the Satellite Cradle onto the wall unit
screws in the wall, and slide it down to lock in place.
Important! • Be sure to check the wood screws periodically for looseness and
tighten if necessary after hanging the Satellite Cradle on a wall.
