The ILS Inventory Wand
1. The ILS Inventory Wand
1.1. Overview
The Intelligent Library System (ILS) Inventory Wand is a key component in Checkpoint's
family of ILS products. Consisting of a lightweight, handheld sensing unit, the Inventory Wand
combines convenien ce with versatility . An extendable handle makes it easy to read items
placed in hard-to-reach areas, while the sophisticated antenna design and electronics make
the Inventory Wand the longest-range portable reader available. This feature is exceptional
when checking inventory or trying to locate materials that haven’t been shelved properly.
The ILS Inventory Wand is designed with e ase of use in mind. The handheld antenna contains
three LED's: the green light indicates power "on", the red light alerts the user that a
Circ ulation Circuit is being read, and the yellow one indicates a low battery.
The ILS Inventory Wand enables a fast, efficient and accurate method for taking inventory of
the library mater ial.
The Portable Data Terminal (PPT 2700) enables data to be uploaded or downloaded from the
ILS Application Server, providing bo th inventory and sea r ch capability.

1.2. Powering Up the Inventory Wand
Prior to using the Inventory Wand for any significant inventory collection or inventory search
session it is imperative that its battery is fully charged. Connect the battery to the battery
charger and plug the adapter into an outlet to begin charging. The estimated charging time is
4-6 hours.

When the battery is completely charged, connect the Inventory Wand battery to the top of the
Inventory Wand. Once you have started using the Inventory Collection or the Search
Inventory programs, the Inventory Wand will be p owered up.
1.3. Powering Up and Charging the PPT 2700
1.3.1.
Press the power button on the lower left-hand side of the terminal to turn the PPT 2700 on
and off.
Note
Power Save mode. This means that the device will power down. To turn it on press the red
power button. You will be return ed to the last screen presented prior to shut off.
1.3.2.
Before using your terminal for the first time, charge the battery. Also, when battery voltage is
low, a warning message appears indicating the battery needs to be charged. You can charge
the battery using the CRD 2700 cradle. Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup
battery that automatically charges from the main lithium-ion battery. This backup battery
retains data in memory when the terminal's battery is removed, and takes several hours to
charge when you first use yo ur terminal.
: If you have not used the PPT 2700 within the configured time , the device will go into
