• If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other factors, change the
scanning angle of the reading window or the distance from codes as shown at
right, and try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the light from
the bar code becomes excessively strong. This can easily happen when the
reflecting surface is polished or covered with vinyl.)

• The laser light indicates the scanning range as a guide. The indicated scanning
range will deviate a little bit from the actual one. Keep the BHT so that the lase

r

light comes to almost the center of the bar code height.

• The BHT can read bar codes at a maximum distance of 40 cm (15.7")* from the
reading window. (*For details about the scanning conditions, refer to Appendix
A )

• The bar code reading procedure may differ depending upon the application used, so follow the application’s
manual.

• Before reading labels, clean them if stained.

• Avoid using the BHT in direct sunlight. The BHT might fail to read correctly.

• To read bar codes on curved surfaces, apply the bar-code reading window to the center of each ba

r

code at a right angle.

• If you pull the bar-code reading window away from bar codes, the actual scanning range will
become narrower than the range covered by the illumination LED.

• The light intensity of the illumination LED will vary depending upon the scanning conditions and
variation of its elements.

• The light intensity of the laser light or illumination LED will vary depending upon the scanning
conditions and variation of its elements.

• Never disassemble or heat the battery cartridge, nor put it into
fire or water; doing so could cause battery-rupture or leakage
of battery fluid, resulting in a fire or bodily injury.

• Do not carry or store the battery cartridge together with
metallic ball-point pens, necklaces, coins, hairpins, etc.

Doing so could short-circuit the terminal pins, causing the

batteries to rupture or the battery fluid to leak, resulting in a
fire or bodily injury.

• Avoid dropping the battery cartridge or letting it undergo any
shock or impact.

Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat,

rupture or burn.

• Never charge the rechargeable battery cartridge where any
inflammable gases may be emitted; doing so could cause fire.

• Do not use batteries or power sources other than the specified
ones; doing so could generate heat or cause malfunction.

18

Chapter 2 Getting Started the BHT and System Menu

• The BHT has an integrated backup power source which backs up the memory and calendar clock in
the BHT when no battery cartridge is loaded or the voltage level of the battery cartridge drops
below the specified level. The backup power source is automatically charged by the battery
cartridge.

When you first load the battery cartridge after purchase or you load it after leaving the BHT unused

for a long time, do not remove the battery cartridge for approx. 24 hours after that loading. This is
for charging the memory backup source integrated in the BHT.

• Avoid storing the rechargeable battery cartridge in a hot place. The battery capacity may be
decreased.

• Do not touch the charge terminals of the rechargeable battery cartridge or stain those terminals.
Doing so could result in a charging failure.

19

 Battery Voltage Level on the Status Indicator Line

The battery voltage level is always displayed on the status indicator line.

(For details, refer to Section 2.2.2 "Status Indicators on the LCD.")

 Low Battery Indication

Low battery warning

If the battery output voltage drops below a specified lower level limit when the BHT is in operation, the
BHT displays the following message for approx. 2 seconds and beeps three times. After that, it will
resume previous regular operation.

Solution: The battery cartridge will need to be recharged before long. Recharge or replace the battery

cartridge as soon as possible.

Shutdown due to low battery

If you continue to use the BHT without recharge or battery replacement after the message above
appears, the battery output level lowers to the extent the BHT can no longer operate. The BHT displays
the following message, beeps five times, and then turns itself off. Depending upon the battery level, the
message may not appear or the beeper may not sound five times.

Solution: Recharge or replace the battery cartridge.

20

Chapter 2 Getting Started the BHT and System Menu

• You may charge the rechargeable battery cartridge with the optional CU-7001 communication unit
or optional C-700/C-750 charger. For the charging procedure using the CU-7001, refer to Chapter

5. For that using the C-700/C-750, refer to the "C-700 User's Manual"/"C-750 User's Manual."

• If the "Charge the battery!" message appears after the BHT undergoes any shock or impact, turn the
power off and on and then check the battery output level. The battery may not have run out.

Only use the dedicated charger (CU-7001 or C-700/750) for
charging the rechargeable battery cartridge.

Using a different type of charger could cause battery-rupture or
leakage of battery fluid and result in a fire, bodily injury, or
serious damage to property.

Never charge a wet or damp rechargeable battery cartridge.

Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat,
rupture or burn.

2.3.3 Battery Replacement Notes

 When is battery replacement needed?

If the "Charge the battery!" appears on the LCD, replace the battery cartridge with a fully charged one.

If you leave the BHT without replacing the battery cartridge, then the integrated calendar clock or data
will no longer be backed up so that the calendar clock may stop or the data may be lost.

• Be sure to turn the BHT off before battery replacement.

• Load a charged battery cartridge within 3 minutes from the removal of the cartridge to avoid data

loss.

• After battery replacement, turn the BHT on and check its operation.

• If you leave the BHT with no battery cartridge loaded for a long time, the contents of the memory

may no longer be backed up so that the data stored in the BHT may be lost. It is recommended tha

t

important data be saved into the FLASH folder or host computer.

• The battery cartridge will gradually deteriorate during the repeated cycles of charging and

discharging due to its properties. When the battery operation period becomes shortened due to its
deterioration even if it has been charged for the specified hours, replace the battery cartridge with a
new one.

• Use only DENSO WAVE-authorized battery cartridges and chargers.

• Never dispose of battery cartridges into a fire. They should be recycled

p

roperly. Do not throw them

in a trash.

• When disposing of the battery cartridge, cover the terminal pins with vinyl tape to preven

t

short-circuit.

Chapter 2 Getting Started the BHT and System Menu

DECODE LEVEL

You may set the decode level. Decreasing the level value increases the bar-code reading efficiency, but
the BHT might misread low-quality bar codes (split or stained). To the contrary, increasing the level
value decreases the bar-code reading efficiency, but it will diminish the possibility of misreading.

The setting range of the level value is from 1 to 9 and the default is 4.

MARKER

You can select the marker ON/OFF mode from the following:

0: Normal mode driven by the trigger switch

2: OFF mode

Minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, or CODABAR

You can set the minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, and CODABAR.

depending upon how to scan bar codes or the quality of bar codes. On the other hand, setting a large
number will diminish the possibility of those errors.

The setting range is from 2 to 20 for ITF, from 1 to 20 for STF, and from 3 to 20 for CODABAR. The
default is 4 for ITF and CODABAR, and 3 for STF.
