Cordless Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The cordless scanning system consists of the SCANTEAM 2070 Base unit and at least one IMAGETEAM 3870 Cordless Linear Imager, IMAGETEAM 3875 Cordless Linear Imager, or SCANTEAM 5770 Cordless Laser Scanner. Up to nine IT3870, IT3875, or ST5770 scanners may be associated with one base. Each cordless scanner has a removable, rechargeable charge pack and provides real time decoding within 100 feet (30 m) radius of the base unit depending on the environment.

The IT3875 is intended to serve cordless applications that require enhanced user/host interaction. The addition of the 16-key keypad and 97 x 32 pixel graphic (16 character by 4 lines of text) LCD backlit display enables the user to enter data and view confirmation of receipt of data. The IT3875 linear imagers ship with two installed factory scripts and a product demo. These scripts keep track of scan history or part number and quantity.

Two PC tools also are available to help generate custom applications: IQ App Loader™ and IQ App Designer™. IQ App Loader is used to compile and load custom script applications created with a text editor. IQ App Designer, an optional PC software tool, automates the creation of scripts and the task of loading a user script application to the system. Using IQ App Designer you may build custom script applications with minimal programming experience.

The cordless system is an economical, durable solution for a wide variety of portable data collection applications. The cordless system features:

• a tough, ergonomic thermoplastic housing for comfort and durability.

• an advanced two-way spread-spectrum radio

• recognition and decoding of the most popular, industry-standard bar code symbologies, including PDF417.

• coverage of up to 31,416 square feet (2,919 square meters) around the base.

• a wide range of interfaces that are compatible with many POS, keyboard wedge, wands and laser emulation, RS-232 terminals, and legacy decoders.

• visible and audible feedback for confirmation of a successful decode.

• rechargeable charge packs designed to operate through a whole work day.

This Quick Start Guide contains information about charging your cordless scanner’s charge pack and associating the scanner to the base. For more detailed information on how to set up, operate, and program the cordless system, see the Cordless System Manual.

• Associating the cordless scanner to a base

• Customer support information

• Limited warranty and warranty durations

About the Charge Pack

(CLESS/NIMH/S)

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable charge pack that snaps onto the bottom of the scanner. Each scanner is shipped with a charge pack.* (See the charge pack specifications in the Cordless System Manual for storage information.)

*Order backup or replacement charge pack(s) from your distributor.

North American Charging Information

The charge pack is designed to plug into any twoprong North American AC power outlet for direct charging. You need no additional equipment, and you can recharge the pack virtually anywhere.

Worldwide Charging Information

Since the charge pack is rated for both 120/240 V, 50/60Hz applications, it may be charged worldwide. Inexpensive snap-on adapters and custom 2-bay and 6bay charge strips are available to accommodate a wide variety of electrical outlets internationally.

Charge Pack Recommendations

• Charge packs are shipped uncharged and need to be conditioned for full capacity and longer life.

• To maintain the maximum charge capacity, charge packs should be allowed to fully discharge prior to charging. It is recommended that you establish a process where a charge pack is used until it is fully discharged and fully charged before its next use.

• Avoid using the charge pack in extreme temperatures.

• Do not disassemble the charge pack. There are no user-serviceable parts in the charge pack.

• Avoid extended overcharging; do not leave the charge pack charging for more than two weeks.

• Periodically, about every 6 months, repeat the charge pack conditioning.

Proper Disposal of the Charge Pack

When the charge pack has reached the end of its useful life, the charge pack should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the charge pack or dispose of the charge pack with general waste materials. Contact Hand Held Products (see page 7) for recycling or disposal information.

Charging Your Charge Pack

(CLESS/NIMH/S)

Charge the charge pack by following the steps below:

1. Detach the charge pack from the bottom of the scanner.

2. Fully charge the charge pack. Plug the charge pack directly into any common 120 V AC outlet in North America. If outside North America, use the custom charge strip or adaptor.

3. The LED on the bottom of the charge pack blinks red temporarily as part of the charge initialization sequence. After initialization, the LED remains solid red while the charge pack is charging. The LED shows green when the charge pack is fully charged and ready to use.

Note:

Recharge Time: 6 hours at any voltage at

°C (68°F.)

4. After the charge pack is fully charged, attach it to the cordless scanner by pressing the pack firmly (align the prongs on the pack with the mating receptacles) in the base of the scanner until the release buttons click, holding the pack firmly in place. (

5. If you have not set up your Cordless System, refer to “Setting Up and Connecting the Cordless System” section in the System Manual for instructions.

When the charge pack needs recharging, the yellow LED on top of the scanner pulses in short, continuous blinks when the trigger is pulled. If the LED stops flashing when the temperature lowers or you do not use the charge pack for some time, you still need to charge the charge pack.

Conditioning the Charge Pack

• Charge packs are shipped uncharged and need to be conditioned for full capacity and longer life.

• Charge the charge pack for 12 hours for the first two times to fully condition the pack. (Fully discharge in between each initial charge.)

• Fully discharge the charge pack on a periodic basis by leaving the charge pack attached to the scanner until the scanner no longer operates, about 24 hours. (Make sure all idle modes are disabled for this procedure -- see Charge Pack Conservation Mode description in the System Manual.)

Discharging the Charge Pack

A full discharge should take less than 10 hours. Full discharge is indicated when the trigger is pulled and held for at least 10 seconds and the reader does not illuminate the aiming line or the status LED. Circuitry in the reader prevents an over-discharge.

IMAGETEAM 3870/SCANTEAM 5770

The charge packs naturally discharge through normal use of the reader. Alternately, they may be discharged without user interaction by following these steps:

1. Disassociate the reader from the base unit by scanning the Remove Scan-

ner/Disassociate bar code (found below).

2. Scan the Battery Discharge Mode bar code (found below) to temporarily

disable the scanner’s power-saving features. The scanner does not operate normally when in this mode. Do not scan a bar code or the scanner will exit the Battery Discharge Mode.

3. To resume normal operation, detach and replace the charge pack, then

associate with the base unit by scanning the bar code affixed to the base.
