About the Battery
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The
use of any battery pack not sold by Hand Held Products will void your
!
warranty and may result in damage to your unit.
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.
2020/3820 User’s Guide 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 3820.
• 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, Inc. 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,

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 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.

The 3820 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
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 1-6.)
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.

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
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.
Multiple Image Scanner Operation
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 an 3820 is “3820”.
If you have more than one 3820 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 3820s from the base. Send
“:3820:BT_NAM
wish to change the name of additional 3820s, re-link them one at a time and
repeat the “:3820:BT_NAM

Changing Image Scanner Name - via Barcodes
If you wanted to set up your image scanners with names 0001-0007, you may
scan the barcodes below.
wait for the image scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next
barcode to name the next image scanner.

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.
Image Scanner Name
If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the image scanner, create a Code
128 barcode containing “~BT_NAM
(hexidecimal 83), where

manual). You may use Barcode Builder, which is included with Quick*View. You

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.
