Read the instructions on your device before
installing batteries
1. Insert batteries into your device properly, with the (+) and (-) terminals aligned correctly.
2. Always fully charge your batteries before use.
3. When you charge the batteries for the first time, or if the batteries have been stored for a
long time, it normally takes about 3 charge and discharge cycles for the batteries to regain
full capacity.
4. It is normal for batteries to become hot during charging and they will gradually cool down
to room temperature after fully charged.
5. Store the batteries in a cool and dry place.
6. Remove batteries from the electrical device if the device is not going to be used for a long
time.
7. Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them
with a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you replace batteries.
8. If the performance of the batteries decrease substantially, it is time to replace the
batteries.
9. Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a physician at once.

Lithium Ion Polymer Battery Handling
Guideline
Danger !
It may cause the battery swelling, leaking, explosion or ignition, if you do not reading following:
1. Do not store battery in a manner that allows terminals to short.
2. The cell batteries are requested to be stored within a proper temperature range specified in this specifications.
3. Use only approved charger (Mini123EX).Improperly charging a cell or battery may cause the cell or battery to flame or
damage.
4. Prohibit reversing cell polarity within a battery assembly. The battery must be connected correctly.
5. Do not heat or dispose the battery into fire, water or other liquids.
6. Do not short-circuit a battery. Extended short-circuiting creates high temperature in the cell and at the terminals.
Physical contact to high temperature can cause skin burns. In addition, extended short-circuit may cause the cell or
battery to flame.
7. Do not bend, fold or fall the battery or part of the battery. It may cause the battery be damaged and result in the battery
swelling, leaking, explosion or ignition.
8. Do not open or manipulate the folded cell edge.
9. Do not bend or fold the sealing edge. And do not tear off the sealing film.
10. Do not drop or cause unnecessary shocks to the battery.
11. No sharp edge components shall be inside the battery housing. The sharp edge may destroy the cell packaging.
12. Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse with metal objects like coins, paper clips and hair pins, etc. This will
short circuit the battery, generating high heat.
13. Do not directly heat cell body. It may cause the battery be damaged by heat above 90
14. Never disassemble a battery.
15. Never solder a battery.
.
Warning !
It may cause the battery swelling, leaking, explosion or ignition, if you do not reading following:
1. Do not put the battery into microware, washing machine or drying machine.
2. Do not put the battery onto oven.
3. Do not mixed batteries and types. Avoid to use old and new cells or cells of different sizes,different chemistry or
types in the same battery assembly.
4. Do not use a damaged battery.
5. Keep away batteries from children.
6. In case of contacting the materials from a damaged or ruptured cell or battery:
Eye contact: Washing immediately with plenty of water and soap or for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin contact: Washing immediately with water and soap.
Inhalation of Vented Gas: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention.
Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately.
Caution !
1. Do not place batteries near heating sources, nor exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated temperature
can result in reduced battery service life.
2. The battery shall be operated (stored, charged and discharged ) in the temperature specified in this specifications.
Operating Temperature:
Charging : 0
Discharge : -20~60
Storage-20~45
3. Do not overcharge or overdischarge batteries. It will decrease the batteries' service life.
~45

Technical And Operational Description
Operational Description
1. Powered by Battery
For normal use, the unit is powered by battery. Push the Power Switch Button
for about 1.5 seconds to turn on the unit. Also push the Power Switch Button for about 1.5
seconds to turn off the unit. After the unit is turned on, the power would be turned off
automatically if there is no swiping a card on the unit in 30 seconds. This means the unit would
be turned off if no swiping a card again in every 30 seconds after every card swiping. It would
have Low Battery Detect/Warning indication when the unit is powered by battery.
2. Powered by Cable
When the unit is connected with the PC through the communication Cable (WAS-T0233) and
the PC is running Mini400B software and open the COM PORT for the unit, then the unit will be
turned on in about 0.5 second by the PC through the USB PORT. Then you can do the unit
Setting, Configuration or data downloading. When the software closes the COM PORT or exits,
the power turn off from the PC immediately. When powered by cable from PC, the Power Switch
would have no function and the unit would have no Low Battery Detect/Warning function.
3. Real Time Clock Setting
Before start using the unit, you must set the Real Time Clock (RTC) inside the unit to your
local time. If there is no battery for quite a while or it is powered by cable for quite a while this
would cause Real Time clock (RTC) malfunctioned due to no power supply. When put on the
battery to turn on the unit and the Red/Green LED take turns blinking, this means the RTC is
malfunctioning and you must do the RTC time setting before you use the unit.
4. Low Battery Detect
When powered by battery, it would have Low Battery Detect function. When the battery goes
low, the Bluetooth & Battery Status LED would flash red once every 2 second and you must
charge battery immediately, otherwise, the unit would shut down any time without pre-warning.
5. Charge Mode
There are three different charge modes for Mini400B: low battery mode ;real time mode and
manual charge mode. Low battery charge mode is used when the battery hits low voltage, it
starts to be charged automatically. Real time charge mode is whenever the Mini400B cable is
connected to USB, it would be charged immediately. Manual charge mode is the charge is
controlled by Demo software . User can use the software to start or stop charging. The default
set mode is on low battery charge mode.
6. Charge Status Indication
When Mini400B is in charge, Bluetooth & Battery Status LED Indicator light show slow blink red
that means the battery is in the pre-charge. When Bluetooth & Battery Status LED Indicator
light turns to red, it means the battery is in charge status. When Bluetooth & Battery Status
Indicator light turn off, it means the charge is finished. If the charge process has unusual
situation, Bluetooth & Battery Status Indicator light will show red fast blink. If Mini400B cable is
connected, and battery is not in charge, Bluetooth & Battery Status Indicator light will turn off.
7. Memory Low Warning
Log database memory is almost full (>90%). Adding new records is still possible but you are
advised to free up the log database memory by uploading the data to the PC as soon as
possible.
8. Memory Full Warning
Log database memory is full. You not be able to add any new records. Free the log database
memory by uploading the data to the PC.
9. Firmware Management mode (FMM)
FMM allows you to quickly upgrade your Mini123EX's internal firmware via com port and also
check validity of currently loaded firmware. Contact your dealer for most recent firmware
upgrade files.
10. Bluetooth Mode
For normal use, the unit is powered by battery. Push the Power Switch Button
for about 2.5 seconds to turn on the unit. the bluetooth will standby and Bluetooth & Battery
Status LED Indicator light show blue, when the unit will be turned on in by the PC through the
Bluetooth Adapter and the PC is running Mini400B software,the bluetooth will standby and
Bluetooth & Battery Status LED Indicator light show blink blue.
