2.2 Inserting and Charging the Battery Cartridge

The battery cartridge is not charged when purchased and should therefore be charged prior to use.
The chargers that can be use with the BHT are the communication units (CU-601, CU-611 and CU-621) and battery
chargers (CH-201A, CH-651, CH-704 and CH-654).

* The CH-201A and CH-704 are chargers to separately charge the battery cartridge on its own, while the

CH-651 and CH-654 are stationary models (same type as CU (communication unit)) for directly charging
the battery cartridge placed in the BHT.

The charging time is approximately 3 hours.

 The charging time is approximately 7 hours using the CU-621 with power supplied via the USB port.
 This time will be reduced for a battery cartridge with low discharge capacity.

Charging P

recautions

 Do not touch

any terminals of the BHT, battery, or charger by hand or stain them. Doing so could result

in a contact failure or prevent charging.

 Never charge the battery near fire or in a high-temperature environment.

 Terminate charging if not completed even after the specified time has elapsed.

 Note   The BHT is equipped with a back-up battery used to back-up the internal memory and calenda

r

clock when the battery cartridge is removed or the battery voltage falls below the stipulated
level.
It is therefore necessary to charge the internal back-up battery when using the BHT for the first
time or when left unused for long periods of time.
The back-up battery is charged automatically when a fully-charged battery cartridge is inserted.
To ensure that the back-up battery is fully charged, do not remove the battery cartridge for at
least 10 minutes when using the BHT for the first time or when using after long periods of time.

 If you leave the BHT without a battery cartridge inserted for a long tim e, the memory contents

will no longer be backed up so that the message "Contact your administrator. Note the erro

r

number. (XXXX)" or "Set the current date and time." may appear on the LCD.

 Refer to “Chapter 6 Maintenance” – “6.3 Using the BHT after Long Periods” for details o

f

handling the BHT after long periods of time.

 Avoid storing the battery cartridge in high-temperature locations. The battery capacity may

decrease.

 Do not touch the BHT, battery, or charger terminals by hand or stain them. Doing so may result

2.2.1 Battery Power Level Indicator

Confirming at the Power Level Icon

The battery power level can be confirmed at the battery icon ( ) displayed in the bottom left of the LCD
screen.
The battery power is indicated in four levels.
The battery power level indicator tells you when to charge the battery cartridge.

：Sufficient battery power remains.
：The battery power is partially depleted. Making early charge is recommended.
：The battery power is almost fully depleted. Charge immediately.
：The battery power is totally depleted.
Charge immediately or replace with a fully charged battery cartridge.

Confirming at the “Battery Voltage” Screen

The battery power level can also be confirmed at the "Battery Voltage" screen.
The "Battery Voltage" screen displays the battery power level in more detail than the battery icon ( )
that displays at the LCD screen.
Display the "Battery Voltage" screen using

the following procedure.

1. Hold down the SF key and press the Enter key.

The "Battery Voltage" screen displays while the keys are pressed.

About the Ba

ttery Level

 The battery pow

er 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.

 Point   If the BHT is placed in the alphanumeric entry system in user programs, the combination of the SF

and ENT keys cannot be used for displaying the battery voltage lev el. This is because in the
alphanumeric entry system the SF key and BS key are used for switching between the numeric
and alphabet entry modes.

 TIP   In user programs, you may select the key to be used for displaying the battery voltage level

(instead of the default: combination of SF and ENT keys).

 The displayed battery level shows the terminal voltage of the battery, not how much power is left.
 The actual voltage level varies depending upon the operation of the BHT, so the displayed level

also may vary.

4.3 Executing User Programs

User programs (application programs) can be executed using the following methods.
Select the most appropriate method to meet the objective.

4.3.1 Executing from the SYSTEM MENU “EXECUTE PROGRAM”

Select the program to be executed at the SYSTEM MENU “EXECUTE PROGRAM” menu.
In such a case, the selected program will always be executed from the start.
Refer to section ”4.5.1 Executing User Programs (EXECUTE PROGRAM Menu)” for details.

4.3.2 Automatically Executing the Program Set at the SYSTEM MENU
when Turning the Power ON

Select the program to be executed at the SYSTEM MENU “EXECUTE PROGRAM” menu, and then turn
the BHT power OFF. The selected program will executed automatically the next time the BHT power is
turned ON.
If the resume function has been set, the BHT will resume from the position in the program that was
stopped when the BHT power was last turned OFF.
Refer to section ”4.5.5 System Environment Settings (SET SYSTEM Menu)” for details.

4.3.3 Executing the First Registered Program by Turning the Power ON
(BHT System Directory Management Program Function)

If no program has been selected at the SYSTEM MENU “EXECUTE PROGRAM” menu and the BHT
power is turned ON, control will switch to the directory management program, and the first of the programs
(.PD4) registered in the BHT will executed.
If the resume function has been set, the BHT will resume from the position in the program that was
stopped when the BHT power was last turned OFF.

If downloading multiple programs after system initialization, programs are registered in the system in the
order in which they are downloaded, and therefore ensure that the program to be executed is the first
program downloaded.

If a program is later downloaded for purpose of upgrading the version, use the same program name. The
order in which programs are registered in the system will not change, and therefore the same program will
be executed even after upgrading the version. ()

 The system directory management program also manages files with other extensions simultaneously. If

the top file from the first registered program is deleted and a new program is downloaded, the new
program will be registered in the position vacated by the deleted file and therefore caution is advised. It
is recommended that the program to be execute after turning on the BHT power is first downloaded
following system initialization.

45

Barcode Handy Terminal

Several directory management program examples are given below.
The names of the files used in these examples are as follows.

MAIN.PD4 : Program to be executed by pressing the Power key (

) only

SUBMAIN.PD4 : Program chained from MAIN.PD4 using the BHT-BASIC CHAIN

statement
USER.PD4 : New program

program executed.
If an auto-start execution program has been selected at the System Mode ”4.5.5 [1] Setting the auto-start
execution program”, the selected program will be executed.
If no auto-start execution program has been selected, the first registered program from among the
programs (.PD4) registered in the BHT will be executed.
Refer to the “BHT-BASIC Programmer’s Manual” for details.

4.3.5 Executing by Remote Wake-up

If remote wake-up is enabled, the BHT can be started up by receiving a control command from the host
computer. If a fixed file called “BHTRMT.PD4” exists in the BHT at this time, BHTRMT.PD4 will be
executed.
In other words, it is possible to execute the desired program by chaining from BHTRMT.PD4 using a
BHT-BASIC CHAIN statement.
