Replacing the Battery

Your Handheld Terminal uses two types of battery: a battery pack and a memory backup battery. The battery pack is used to power normal operations and to store data, while the memory backup battery provides the power required to maintain memory contents when the battery pack power is unable to supply power for some reason.

The operating power is supplied by a battery pack. You can choose between a battery pack

(DT-5123BAT) and a large-capacity battery pack (DT-5124LBAT).

The backup battery is installed inside of the Handheld Terminal.

This guide uses the following terms to refer to the batteries.

Battery Pack: Rechargeable battery pack (DT-5123BAT or DT-5124LBAT) for

normal operations and data storage

Backup Battery: Built-in battery for memory backup

When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a charged battery pack. You can use the Dual Battery Charger, the Cradle-type Battery Charger, the Bridge Basic Cradle, or the Bridge Satellite Cradle to charge a battery pack. See the sections of this guide that cover the Dual Battery Charger, the Cradle-type Battery Charger, the Bridge Basic Cradle, and the Bridge Satellite Cradle for information about how to use them for charging.

Replacing the Battery Pack

Important!

Always keep backup copies of all important data!

• The main battery powers normal operation and also provides power required to maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the main battery while the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep separate backup copies of all important data.

• The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it.

• The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.

• A fully charged backup battery can maintain memory (RAM) contents for about 10 minutes, even when the main battery is removed.

• The backup battery achieves a full charge in about four days when the battery pack is loaded.

E-21

To replace the battery pack

1. Make sure that the Handheld Terminal is turned off.

If the power is on, press the power key to turn it off.

2. Turn over the Handheld Terminal.

3. Turn the battery pack lock switch on the back of the Handheld Terminal to the "FREE" position, and then remove the battery pack cover.

4. Remove the battery pack as shown in the illustration.

5. Taking care to ensure it is oriented correctly, load a new battery pack into the Handheld Terminal. Load the battery back while making sure that the end of the battery pack removal tape is protruding above the battery pack.

E-22

6. Replace the rechargeable battery pack cover as shown in the diagram and then return the rechargeable battery pack cover switch to the “LOCK” position.

Loading the large-capacity battery pack into the Handheld Terminal

After loading the large-capacity battery pack, you need to use the special large-capacity battery pack cover in place of the standard battery cover. Attachment and removal of the large-capacity battery pack cover are the same as those for the standard battery pack cover.

Important!

• When replacing the battery pack, make sure you do not leave the Handheld Terminal without a battery pack for more than about 10 minutes. Doing so can cause data in the memory to be deleted.

• When replacing the battery, be sure you carefully follow the proper procedure as explained in this guide.

• Never try to use other type of battery than the ones that are specified for this product.

E-23

Attaching the Neck Strap

Be sure to attach the neck strap and use it to protect against dropping the Handheld Terminal when carrying it around.

To attach the neck strap

1. Pass the thin cord of the neck strap through the neck strap hole on the back of the Handheld Terminal.

2. Pass the other end of the strap (the part you put around your neck) through the loop formed by the thin cord.

Important!

Do not swing the Handheld Terminal around holding the neck strap.

E-24

2. Peel off the film (green) affixed to the front of the protective sheet.

• If you have difficulty in peeling off the film, use a piece of cellophane tape. (After cutting a piece of cellophane tape to a suitable length, hold onto one end of the piece of cellophane tape and press the adhesive side of the other end of the tape onto the green film. The film can be peeled off easily by then pulling up on the tape.)

• The opposite of the surface where the film was affixed is the surface that is attached to the touch screen.

3. With its front side (the side to which the film was attached) towards you, fix the upper and lower sides of the protective sheet properly to the touch screen. If you encounter difficulties fixing it properly, carefully bend the slight projections at the four corners of the protective sheet to the front.

• Be careful so that dust and other debris is not allowed to get between the touch screen and the protective sheet. Using the Handheld Terminal with dust or other debris trapped between the touch screen and protective sheet can damage the touch screen.

Performing Data Communication

IR Data Communication

IR data communication can be used to transfer data between two Handheld Terminals. When performing IR data communication, orient the IR ports of both Handheld Terminals so they are pointing directly at each other. The ports can be in direct contact with each other, or they can be separated by up to 1 meter (

3'31⁄2") (up to 25cm (97⁄8") for 4Mbps data communication).

Important!

• A high-sensitivity communication element is used during IR data communication.

• In order to ensure successful communication, avoid using cellular phones or other devices that emit radio wave in the area where you are performing IR data communication.

• If you need to use such a device, move away from the communicating Handheld Terminals. In case of a cellular phone, keep it at least 30cm (

117⁄8") away.

E-30

BluetoothTM Data Communication (IT-500M30B/M30CB)

BluetoothTM protocol can also be used to transfer data between two Handheld Terminals. With Bluetooth meters (9 them.

Important!

Observe the following precautions to help ensure that data communication is successful.

• Make sure the Bluetooth each other. Surroundings (obstacles) may require a shorter distance between the two devices.

• Make sure there is at least two meters (6' 7") between this device and other devices (electrical appliances, audio-visual equipment, OA equipment, and digital cordless telephones, facsimile machines, etc.). (Take special care with microwave ovens. Allow at least three meters (9' 10 devices and a microwave oven.) When approaching such a device when its power is turned on, proper data communication may prove impossible while this may also cause interference with TV and radio reception (images produced by certain UHF and broadcast satellite channels may become blurry).

• Normal data communication may not be possible in an area near a broadcast transmitter or wireless transmitter. If this happens, move to a different location. Normal data communication may not be possible in areas exposed to strong radio waves.

• RF Wireless LAN Interference

Because Bluetooth (2.4GHz), radio interference can occur if there is a wireless LAN device nearby. This can result in lower data communication speeds, or even make it impossible to establish a connection. If this happens, try the following countermeasures.

• Move at least 10 meters (32

• If you cannot keep the distance at least 10 meters (32
