1.1 BATTERY

Chapter 1

 Main Battery

The 9400CE Mobile Computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/1800 mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it. However, the charging time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the mobile computer can work for up to 10 hours.

 Backup Battery

The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.7 V/70 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in suspend mode for at least 20 hours without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to replace the main battery as soon as possible.

1.1.1 INSERTING THE BATTERY

When you first receive the package, the rechargeable functionality of the backup battery is turned off. It is controlled by a DIP switch inside the battery compartment as shown below.

For shipping and storage purposes, save the mobile computer and the main battery in separate packages, and adjust the DIP switch to the OFF position (bottom). This will keep both batteries in good condition for future use.

Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.

1) Press for the mobile computer to enter suspend mode.

2) Remove the hand strap.

9400CE Mobile Computer Reference Manual

3) Hold the mobile computer still and press the release button to unlock the battery cover.

4) Slide off the battery cover.

5) Use the stylus (or a sharp-pointed object, such as a pencil) to adjust the DIP switch to the ON position (top). Now the internal backup battery can be charged by the main battery.

6) Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment at a proper angle (30°~45°) so that the metal contacts on the battery are met with the charging contacts inside the compartment. Make sure that the battery is snugly fit into the compartment.

7) Slide the battery cover back onto the mobile computer until it clicks into place.

8) If the battery is charged, the mobile computer turns on.

If the mobile computer does not turn on, charge the battery.

Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a spare battery

pack, especially when you are on the road.

Figure 5: Installing the Main Battery

Chapter 1 Using the 9400CE Mobile Computer

1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY

The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package, you will need to charge batteries to full before using the mobile computer.

Note: To charge the batteries to full, it requires approximately 8 hours for the first time. After the

initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the batteries to full.

Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and then seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging. This will have both the main and backup batteries charged at the same time. To charge the backup battery, make sure that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to the ON position.

Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a spare battery

pack, especially when you are on the road.

1.1.3 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS

The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low (see below for battery status icon), you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, always save data before it is too late; you should backup important data on a regular basis.

BATTERY STATUS ICONS DESCRIPTION

Note: Because it is possible to read barcode and RFID tag at the same time, it is recommended that

only one scan engine is enabled at a time to prevent from misreading.

Some RFID tags support both read/write operations, on a page-by-page basis. You may find it necessary to define your own read/write operation. For reference only, the table below lists the start page for read/write operation on a number of RFID tags.

START PAGE TAG TYPE

-1 Start from byte 0 of the default page (see below) for all tags

3 Mifare Ultralight (ISO 14443A)

4 SR176 (ISO 14443B)

3 ICODE SLI (ISO 15693)

0 LRI512 (ISO 15693)

0 Others (ISO 15693)

5 ICODE (Phillips)

Note: Please refer to the specifications of your RFID tags for memory organization.

Chapter 4 Using Applications

READ OPERATION

By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify how many bytes of data you want to read from the tag.

Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure that the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Display hex values] first.

WRITE OPERATION

Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the tag from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will automatically be truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it comes to the end of pages available.

Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use. The string will be displayed as “user data”. If you wish to write the string to a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values] first.

Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, make sure the string length must be even. For example, if you want to write 0x0A, 0x0B and 0x00 to a tag, the string you input must be “0A0B00” instead of “AB0”.

SCAN ENGINE SETTINGS

The Reader Configuration Utility (94ReaderCfg.exe) allows configuring the following reader types, depending on the module equipped on your mobile computer:

 1D CCD scan engine

 1D Laser scan engine

 2D scan engine

 RFID reader

Options of different reader combination are allowed, such as 1D+RFID and 2D+RFID. For each combination, both readers can be initialized and ready for scanning at the same time (dual mode operation). For example, if you press the [Scan] button while running the 94ReaderCfg applet on the mobile computer, it will read a barcode in position or an RFID tag in proximity depending on which one comes first.

Note: You cannot have 1D+2D scan engines installed on the mobile computer because they are

both barcode readers!

SYMBOLOGIES SUPPORTED

Varying by the scan engine installed, the supported symbologies or tag types are listed below. For details on configuring associated settings, please refer to each Appendix separately.

Scan Mode Laser mode

Continuous Mode Non-stop scanning

 To decode the same barcode repeatedly, move away the scan beam and

target it at the barcode for each scanning.

Test Mode Non-stop scanning

 Capable of decoding the same barcode repeatedly

Repeat Mode Non-stop scanning

 Capable of re-transmitting barcode data if triggering within one second

after a successful decoding

Momentary Mode Hold down the scan trigger to start with scanning.

 The scanning won't stop until you release the trigger.

Alternate Mode Press the scan trigger to start with scanning.

 The scanning won't stop until you press the trigger again.

Aiming Mode Press the scan trigger to aim at a barcode. Within one second, press the

trigger again to decode the barcode.

 The scanning won't stop until (a) a barcode is decoded or (b) the

pre-set timeout expires.

Laser Mode Hold down the scan trigger to start with scanning.

 The scanning won't stop until (a) a barcode is read, (b) the preset

timeout expires, or (c) you release the trigger.

Auto Off Mode Press the scan trigger to start with scanning.

 The scanning won't stop until (a) a barcode is read or (b) the preset

timeout expires.

 The scanning won't stop until the preset timeout expires, and, the

preset timeout period re-counts after each successful decoding.

9400CE Mobile Computer Reference Manual

Read Redundancy None

Level 0 = None No redundancy means one successful decoding will make the reading valid

and induce the "READER Event".

Level 1 = One time

Level 2 = Two times

Level 3 = Three times

The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.

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

successful decodings of the same barcode to make the reading valid.

Time-out 3 sec.
