1.1 BATTERY

The scanner is powered by two AAA Alkaline batteries. During normal operation, the scanner can work for over 30 hours or 28,000 scans (based on UPC-E barcodes, 1 scan per 5 seconds). For intensive data collection, you may prepare spare batteries for non-stop operation.

Note: The 1660 scanner can be configured to save battery power. Refer to settings of

“Auto Power Off”, “Sniff Mode”, as well as “Low Battery Alarm”.

1.1.1 HOW TO OPERATE THE SCANNER

Turn on the scanner…

Press the [Power/Delete] key for 3 seconds. The scanner will respond with a long beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly.

Turn off the scanner…

Press the [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds. The scanner will respond with two short beeps (high tone) and the LED will finally become solid red. Release the key then. Otherwise, let the scanner turn off automatically in specific circumstances.

Delete the last collected data when in memory mode …

Press the [Power/Delete] key. The scanner will respond with two short beeps (high tone) and the LED will become solid red. Before the LED goes off (within 1 second), press the [ Power/Delete] key again to confirm the deletion.

1.1.2 AUTO POWER OFF

Specify the time interval (1~254 min.; 0= Disable) for the scanner to automatically turn off in the following circumstances. By default, it is set t o 10 minutes. If this feature is n ot desired, set it to 0.

Auto Power Off before establishing a WPAN connection successfully...

1. The 1660 scanner will stay active for 2 minutes waiting for a connection request from the host (SPP) or trying to connect to the host (HID). Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s).

2. If it fails to connect within 2 minutes, the scanner will become inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes). Its CPU is running at low speed, and the LED is flashing red (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 2 s).

Press the [Trigger] key to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay active for 2 minutes again.

3. If it fails to connect again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified time interval has elapsed, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power.

Hold down the [Power/Delete] key for 3 seconds to turn it on. On your computer, you will have to search for the scanner again.

Auto Power Off after establishing a WPAN connection successfully...

Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). If the scanner is idle during the specified time interval for Auto Power Off, it will automatically turn off when the time is up. You will hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low. For BT HID or SPP, there is no transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed. However, when connecting with 3610, the scanner will go through the transition in order to save power.

 For BT HID, the scanner will resume connection with the host upon poweri ng on again, as long

as the host application is running. You will hear three short beeps, tone ascending from low to high. If the scanner fails to resume connection, it will try every five second to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the Reset Connection label.

 For BT SPP, the scanner must wait for the host to re-connect.  With the use of 361 0, the scanner will try every five second to re-connect to 3610 unl ess you

have the scanner read the Reset Connection label.

1.2 MEMORY

The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the transmit buffer (SRAM) or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.

1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER

The scanner is designed to send any collected data to a host computer one by one via the transmit buffer (SRAM). Upon reading a barcode successfully, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 1 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full.

 A warning is given when the transmit buffer is full — the scanner will respond with

one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.

Note: The 1 KB transmit buffer on the scanner can hold as many as 64 scans based on

EAN-13 barcodes. Data will be cleared out once the scanner is turned off or running out of battery power!

1.2.2 MEMORY MODE

The scanner keeps 256 KB flash memory for memory mode operation. When the 1660 scanner is in memory mode, it means a WPAN connection is disabled.

1.11.1 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

Select the level of reading security. For example,

 If "No Redundan cy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid

and induce the "READER Event".

 If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful

decodings of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.

It is obvious that the more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

By default, the interface of 3610 is set to “USB HID”. You can connect any scanner to 3610 by having the scanner read the two labels at the back of 3610.

 “Set Connection” label  “Serial Nu mber” label

The scanner will respond with one beep when reading the “Set Connection” label, and two beeps (low-high tone) when reading the “Serial Number” label.

After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for 2 minutes trying to conn ect to the 3610 dongle while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high to low).

Read the “Set Connection” label first, and then the “Serial Number” label within 5 seconds. If the “Set Connection” label on 3610 is illegible, try this one —

Note: When connecting more than two 1660 scanners to a notebook computer or PDA

with Bluetooth® wireless technology, we suggest you to disable the power-saving setting for a more reliable connection.

Device Name Broadcasting

The scanner can be configured to hide itself from other devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Simply disable the device name broadcasting setting so that it won’t be discovered by any other computer or PDA. However, broadcasting must be enabled for establishing an initial connection with the scanner. For example, you can disable device name broadcasting after successfully connecting the scanner to WorkStation1. Such connection will be maintained automatically unless the scanner is removed from the paired device list (called unpairing) by WorkStation1 or any changes made to authentication and the PIN code. If you want WorkStation2 to connect to the scanner, you will have to enable device name broadcasting first.

Authentication

For security concerns, it is suggested that you enable authentication and specify a unique PIN code, also known as the passkey used to pair two devices before establishing a WPA connection. The scanner itself allows up to 16 characters for a PIN code. This means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect to the scanner. If the passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by the scanner. When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, you will have to remove the scanner from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole process to re-establi sh the connection.
