About the Battery

We recommend use of Hand Held Products Li-ion battery backs. Use of any non-Hand Held Products battery 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

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 Meaning" on page 3-4 for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

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

Product Specifications beginning on page 13-1.)

Battery Recommendations

• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.

1 - 2

• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of 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 image scanner.

• 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 International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 15-1 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 the imager’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, mani-

6. Plug the power supply to the base and plug into the AC source.

7. Once the base has been fully connected, power up the computer.

Linking Image Scanner to Base

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

2. Place the image scanner 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 bar codes 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. Refer to page 14-

4 for troubleshooting information.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless image scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the image 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 image scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.

)

The cordless image 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 image scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Reading Techniques

The image scanner has a view finder that projects a bright green aiming beam that corresponds to the image scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam is smaller when the image scanner is closer to the code and

larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the image scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
