Safety Precautions
b Safety Precautions on Laser Products
The "Wireless Hand-held Barcode Reader BL-N90 Series" employs a visible light
semiconductor laser for its light source.The BL-N90 Series is classified as a Class 1 laser
under IEC standards (IEC 60825-1: "Safety of Laser Products").

•
Do not look directly at laser light or reflected laser light from a mirrored
surface. Otherwise, eye injury may result. Laser light will not cause damage if
it strikes exposed skin, but laser light should not deliberately be aimed
towards a human body.
• Do not disassemble the BL-N90 Series. The BL-N90 Series does not
automatically stop emitting the laser when the reader is disassembled.
Therefore, if someone disassembles the reader, he/she may be exposed to
WAR NING
the laser beam and may suffer eye injury.
• Be sure to stop the laser emission before cleaning the portion of the laser
scanner where laser light is generated and received (emitter/receiver).
Otherwise, exposure to the laser may cause eye injury.
• Be careful of the path of the laser beam.
Be especially careful of reflected laser light from a mirrored surface.
Do not use the BL-N90 Series where the path of the laser beam is at the
same height as that of the human eye.

Handling the BL-N90 Series
•
When recharging the BL-N90/N90K with BL-N9R, BL-N9UB, or BL-N9V, make sure
to check whether foreign materials have entered the charging terminal.The presence
of foreign materials may generate high heat or ignition, which may cause fires.
• Check whether dust covers the power plug of the AC adapter that connects to
WARNING
CAUTION
BL-N9R, BL-N9UB, or BL-N9V, and clean it regularly.There is a danger that a
fire will start due to tracking.Also, remove the plug from the electrical outlet
when not using the BL-N90 Series for a long period of time.
•
Always use the included AC adapter with BL-N9R, BL-N9UB, or BL-N9V.Using
another AC adapter may cause fire, electrical shock, or damage to the equipment.
•
Do not modify or disassemble the BL-N90 Series. Doing so may cause damage.
•
The BL-N90 Series is a precision instrument. Dropping it or applying strong shock may cause
damage to the instrument. Take appropriate precautions when transporting the BL-N90 Series.
• Do not place the BL-N90 Series in locations with large amounts of moisture or
dust.Also, do not leave small metallic objects, such as paperclips, near the
instrument. Doing so may cause fire or damage.
• Do not use the BL-N90 Series in the following locations. Usage in these
locations may cause damage or malfunctions.
– Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated range.
– Locations where the ambient humidity exceeds the rated range.
– Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
– Locations where temperatures may increase greatly, such as within a
vehicle with the windows closed.
– Locations where sharp temperature changes may cause condensation.
– Locations with corrosive or flammable gases.
– Locations with a large amount of dust, salt, iron, or greasy fumes.
– Locations that are directly affected by vibrations or shock.
– Locations where the unit may be splashed by water, oil, or chemicals.
– Locations with strong magnetic or electrical fields.
b Notes about the default number of digits for reading
The number of digits of barcode for reading is set to three digits or more by default to prevent misreading.
How to count the digits varies depending on the barcode type, but the minimum number
of digits for reading by default is as follows.
Barcode type Example of barcode with three digits or more
CODE39 *123*
NW-7 A1A
ITF 1234
CODE128 123
If you read a barcode with less than three digits, change the setting with the Limit read
digits function.

Wireless Communication
The BL-N90 Series contains an internal wireless function based on Bluetooth wireless technology.
Disassembly or modification of the BL-N90 Series is prohibited under the
Japanese Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (DENAN). Do NOT
CAUTION
b Precautions for wireless communication
•
Using the BL-N90 Series near wireless LAN equipment that operates in the same frequency band may
cause radio interference, reduce the communication speed, and make communication impossible.
•
Using the BL-N90 Series near equipment that operates in the same frequency band, such as microwave
ovens, industrial heaters, or high frequency medical equipment, may make communication impossible.
• The BL-N90 Series may not be able to communicate in the following types of locations.
– Locations close to metallic substances or with large amounts of metallic powder
– Locations surrounded by metallic walls
– Locations that are subject to strong vibrations
• The guideline for communication distance is a visible range of about 10 m, but there are
some environments where communication is not possible even within this range.Make
sure to check communication before installation.
• The BL-N90 Series employs the working frequency band used by premise radio stations
for identification of moving objects (radio station license is required) and specified lowpower radio stations (radio station license is not required) that are used by production
lines for factories that make industrial, chemical, or medical equipment.
• Before using the BL-N90 Series, confirm that premise radio stations for identification of
moving objects and specified low-power radio stations are not operated nearby.
