About the Battery

Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any
battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not
covered by the warranty.

Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that
is integrated in the image scanner handle. Each image scanner is shipped with
a battery.

(See Product Specifications

beginning on page 11-1

.)

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the image scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to "2020 LED Sequences and Their Meaning" on
page 1-15 for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

• Place the image scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate
power supply.

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 3820/
3820i.

• 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
Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell International Inc. service center for
inspection. Refer to Product Service and Repair on page 13-2 for additional
information

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 Honeywell (postage paid). The shipper is
responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local
laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, mani-

Service Department (see 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

* Automatic

Low Charge Rate

Full Charge Rate

Battery Charge Off

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.

Scan the appropriate barcode for your application.

Linking Image Scanner to Base

Image Scanner*

2020 Base

Green LED

Red LED

*3820 shown

Unlink Image Scanner

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

1. Provide power to the base.

2. Place the 3820/3820i into the base. The image scanner and base link.

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

Image Scanner Modes

The 3820/3820i is capable of working in single image scanner mode, multiple
image scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices, other than the 2020 base.

Unlinking the Image Scanner

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

Single Image Scanner Operation

* Locked Link Mode

(Single Image Scanner)

Open Link Mode

(Single Image Scanner)

Override Locked Image Scanner

(Single Image Scanner)

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

Locked Link Mode - Single Image Scanner

If you link an image scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other image
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the
base. If you do place a different image scanner into the base, it will charge the
image scanner, but the image scanner will not be linked.

To use a different image scanner, you need to unlink the original image scanner
by scanning the Unlink Image Scanner barcode. (See "Image Scanner

Modes" on page 1-5.)

Open Link Mode - Single Image Scanner

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

Default = Locked Link Mode

.

Override Locked Image Scanner

If you need to replace a broken or lost image scanner that is linked to a base,
scan the Override Locked Image Scanner barcode below with a new image
scanner and place that image scanner in the base. The locked link will be over­ridden; the broken or lost image scanner’s link with the base will be removed,
and the new image scanner will be linked.

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the barcode
below. Once you scan this barcode, the image scanner is unlinked from the
base and must be placed into the base to re-link.

Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image

scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of
range.

Image Scanner Name

You are able to assign a name to each image scanner you are using. It will be
helpful to name the image scanners if you have multiple image scanners linked
to one base so that you will be able to control the image scanner receiving
imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for a 3820, for exam­ple, is “3820”. If you have more than one 3820s linked to a base, the first image
scanner that is linked to the base receives commands addressed using this
name.

Changing Image Scanner Name - Serially

If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer
to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1) or via a barcode command. To
change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820/3820i devices from
the base. Send “:3820:BT_NAM
name. If you wish to change the name of additional 3820/3820i devices, re-link
them one at a time and repeat the “:3820:BT_NAM

Alternatively, you may change the name with a barcode command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the barcode
below and scan a number for the image scanner name. For example, if you had
7 image scanners to one base, scan the barcode below with the first image
scanner, scan the 1 barcode on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual and scan Save. Then scan the Reset barcode and wait for the
image scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next barcode. Repeat
that process for image scanner number 2, 3, 4 etc.

Scan the Reset barcode after each name change

If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the image scanner, create a Code
128 barcode containing “~BT_NAM
decimal 83), where
code (page 1-8 or on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual). You may use Barcode Builder, which is included with Quick*View.

Image Scanner Report

Image Scanner Report

Scan the barcode below to generate a report for the connected image scanners.
The report indicates the port, work group, image scanner name, and address.

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to seven image scanners linked to one base.
You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the image
scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one
work group. If you want each image scanner to have unique settings (e.g.,
beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each image
scanner to its own unique work group and may program each image scanner
independently. Visual XPress (page 9-1) makes it easy for you to program your
system for use with multiple image scanners and multiple work groups.

The image scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the
image scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the image scanner is
updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The image
scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If an
image scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will
be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the image
scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the image scanner was in
work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the sec­ond base with the associated settings.

Using the Image Scanner with Bluetooth Devices

Non-Base BT Connection

Bluetooth PIN

The 3820/3820i image scanner may be used either with the 2020 base or with
other Bluetooth devices. Scanning the Non-Base Bluetooth Connection bar­code below allows the image scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices
(e.g., PDA, PC - Bluetooth USB Adapter). After you scan the barcode below,
follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the image
scanner and connect to it. If you go out of range with your image scanner, the
image scanner automatically reconnects to the Bluetooth device. If you want to
relink to the 2020 base, refer to
or

"Resetting the Standard Product Default Settings: All Application Work

Groups"

Note: The multiple work groups option is not available when you are using the

Changing Bluetooth PIN Code

Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features.
Your image scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you may need to enter the first
time you connect to your PDA or PC. The PIN code must be between 1 and 16
characters. To change the PIN, scan the barcode below and then scan the
appropriate numeric barcodes from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual. Scan Save to save your selection.
