2.2.2 Battery Power Level Indicator

The battery power level can be checked at the icon that displays in the
taskbar. The battery power displays in four levels.

The battery power level indicator is a guideline to notify the operator to charge
the battery promptly when discharged.

: Sufficient battery power remains.

: The battery power is partially depleted. Charge promptly.
: The battery power is almost fully depleted and should be charged

immediately.

: The battery power is fully depleted. Charge immediately or replace

with a fully charged battery.

Note: There are times when the taskbar display differs from the display on the BHT

LCD screen.

About the Battery Level

• The battery power level indicator does not accurately reflect the battery residual power and should

only be used as a guideline.

• The battery power level will fluctuate due to BHT operation, and therefore disparities may

occur between the actual battery voltage and the display indicator.

• Ensure to charge the battery as soon as possible before the battery power is depleted.

2.2.3 Battery Voltage Drop

If the battery voltage drops to a level that requires charging or battery replacement
while using the BHT, the screen on the right displays only once for approximately
2 seconds and the beeper sounds three times when a key is pressed or tap the
touch screen. The BHT then returns to its normal operational status. The screen
on the right indicates that the battery will soon need charged and should be
promptly charged or replaced. If the BHT is left with the battery discharged, data
including files and settings stored in the RAM may be lost.

If use of the BHT is continued without charging or replacing the battery after the
above message displays and the battery voltage drops to a level that prevents
BHT operation, the screen on the right displays, the beeper sounds five times, and
the power automatically turns OFF. Depending on the battery level, this message
may not display or the beeper may not sound five times. When this message
displays, replace or charge the battery immediately. If the BHT is left with the

label read function.

DECODE LEVEL: Sets the decode level.

ITF: Sets the default minimum number of digits for ITF.

STF: Sets the default minimum number of digits for

STF.

CODABAR: Sets the default minimum number of digits for

CODABAR.

Black-and-white inverted label read function (INVERT)

Standard labels are made up of black bars on a white background, however, this function makes it

possible to read white bars on a black background.

− Note − Enabling this function may increase the frequency of barcode read errors. This function

should normally be set to “OFF” (inverted label reading prohibited).

DECODE LEVEL

The decode level may be set by the user. Lowering the level increases the barcode scanning efficiency,

however, the risk of misreading poor-quality barcodes (broken bars, dirty) also increases. Raising the

level, on the other hand, decreases the barcode scanning efficiency, but lowers the possibility of

misreading.

The setting range for the decode level is 1 to 9, with the default level set to 4.

Minimum digits for ITF, STF and CODABAR

The minimum digits can be set for ITF, STF and CODABAR. Depending on how barcodes are scanned

and the barcode quality and so on, setting a small number of digits increases the risk of missing digits or

misreading. Setting a large number of digits, on the other hand, reduces this risk.

The setting range is 2 to 20 for ITF, 1 to 20 for STF, and 3 to 20 for CODABAR, with the default settings

being 4, 3, and 4, respectively.
