Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless base unit. Refer to "IT2020 LED Sequences and Their Meaning" on page 1-9 for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
• Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply.
IMAGETEAM™ 2020/5620 System Manual 1 - 3
Battery Recommendations
• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.
• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell type battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the IT5620.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause severe personal injury.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for inspection.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send batteries to Hand Held Products (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling,
Product Service Department (see page 13-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

Base Charge Mode

In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the circuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied to the base:
Condition 1: 9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector Condition 2: 12VDC host power source only Condition 3: 5VDC host power source only
The chart below describes each selection by condition.
Condition 1 Condition 2 Condition 3
Automatic Fast Charge Slow Charge No Charge Full Charge Rate Fast Charge Fast Charge No Charge
Low Charge Rate Slow Charge Slow Charge No Charge Battery Charge Off No Charge No Charge No Charge
Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power source when the battery is mostly discharged.

Linking Scanner to Base

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. Once the scanner is placed into the base, the software automatically links the scanner and the base. If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link.

2. Place the IT5620 into the base. The scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base.

Unlinking the Scanner

If the base has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink a scanner from the base, scan the Unlink Scanner bar code below.
Unlink Scanner

Link Modes

There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one mode to another.

Default = Locked Link Mode
.

Locked Link Mode

If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, this blocks other scanners from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base. If you do place a different scanner into the base, it will charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.
* Locked Link Mode
To use a different scanner, you need to remove the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See "Unlinking the Scanner" on page 1-6.)
If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base, scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
Override Locked Scanner

Open Link Mode

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they establish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is unlinked.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System

Cordless Base
The cordless base provides the link between the cordless scanner and the host system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.
The base also is the scanner battery charger with the external 9VDC power source applied. Once you place the scanner into base, the base green LED responds according to the Charge Status Indicator table above.
The base can be powered by the Host (parasitic power mode). If the base is in parasitic power mode without the 9VDC power source, the base will still function, but will not charge the battery.
RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The cordless system uses a state-of-the-art two-way Bluetooth radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over

a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides range of 33 feet (10m) depending on the environment.
Cordless Scanner
The cordless scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a non­contact linear imager.
The scanner is comprised of a linear imager, a decode/control assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the bar code image illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordinates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding the bar code image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for the host system. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the scanner and the base.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a scanner to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Linking Process
Once a scanner is placed into the base, the scanner’s battery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base if another scanner is not already linked.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues a triple beep indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your scanner and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. See Out-of-Range Alarm on page 1-8.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner re-links if the scanner or the base have been reset or out of range. If the scanner re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.
IMAGETEAM™ 2020/5620 System Manual 1 - 11
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode On
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between the scanner and the base.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit. Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was received by the host. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Connecting the Base When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge)

A base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/ computer.

back on.
5. Program the base for the keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge Connection" on page 1-
15.)
6. Verify the base operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
Note: Without using the 9-volt external, power supply, the base only uses
enough power from the host to operate the interface. The scanner’s battery is not charged when in this mode. Using the 9-volt, external power supply allows the scanner’s battery to be charged, and no power is drawn from the host.

Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming line should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming line is in any other direction.
Good Read
Bad Read
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.
