7. When disposing of the product, treat it as industrial waste.
Precautions for Correct Use
Introduction
Precautions for Safe Use
Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects on
performance and equipment.
1. Installation Environment
Install the product in the following locations:
• Locations not subject to corrosive gas, dust, metallic powder, or salt.
• Locations within the specified operating temperature range.
• Locations not subject to rapid changes in temperature (with no condensation).
• Locations within the specified humidity range.
• Locations not subject to direct vibration or shock outside the specified ranges.
• Locations not subject to water, oil, or chemicals.
2. Installation
• The product communicates with Data Carriers using the 530-kHz frequency band. Some motors,
inverters, switching power supplies, and other devices generate noise that can affect communications with the Data Carriers. If such devices are located near the Data Carriers, communications
with the Data Carriers may be adversely affected or the Data Carriers may be destroyed. Whenever
using the product near devices of this nature, always test operation in advance to confirm if the system will be affected.
• Observe the following precautions to minimize the effects of normal noise.
(1) Ground all metal objects in the vicinity to 100 Ω or less.
(2) Do not use the system near high-voltage or high-current lines.
• Connectors are not waterproof. Do not use the product where mists are present.
• Do not use chemicals that would affect the materials used in the product.
• Always be sure the USB connector is properly inserted when using the USB port.
3. Cleaning
• Do not clean the product with thinners, benzene, or other organic solvents. These will dissolve the
resin parts and coating on the case.

•Reading the Settings
Use the SET INFORMATION READ (UL) command to read the settings of the Hand-held Reader
Writer. The information read by the SET INFORMATION READ command is set in the backup memory
of the Hand-held Reader Writer. For this reason, care must be taken when the power is first turned ON
after the settings have been changed because the operational settings of the Hand-held Reader Writer
will be different.
•Initializing the Settings
A setting command is used to set the Hand-held Reader Writer but if the communications parameters
are not known or if the setting contents are damaged, it is possible that communications will no longer
be possible with the host device. If this occurs, press both the reset button and the activate switch
when turning ON the power. This will return all settings to the defaults set when the Hand-held Reader
Writer was shipped from the factory, allowing communications with the host device again.

•Reset Procedure
1. Turn ON the power while pressing the reset button.
2. Keep the reset button depressed for two seconds or more. The green operation indicator will start
flashing.

3. With the green operation indicator flashing, remove your finger from the reset button and press the acti-
vate switch.
4. When the activate switch is pressed, the operation indicator will stop flashing green. This indicates that
all of the settings have been initialized.
Note: If the activate switch is not pressed within 30 seconds from the time that the operation indicator
starts flashing green, the settings will not be initialized.

Use the test command to test communications between the Hand-held Reader Writer and host device.
Before performing communications with the Data Carrier, check the Hand-held Reader Writer connections and communications.
1. Send the test command from the host device.
Section 2Communications Test
For detail on the test command, refer to TEST (TS).

2. If communications is normal, the Hand-held Reader Writer will return the received data.
If a response is not returned, refer to Troubleshooting.

The Hand-held Reader Writer will communicate with the Data Carrier and the operation indicator will flash green.
2. Move the antenna section of the Hand-held Reader Writer close to the Data Carrier.
The Hand-held Reader Writer will read the data in the Data Carrier when the Hand-held Reader Writer moves within the communications range. As a result, the operation indicator will be light green and then turn OFF.

Note 1: A 7B error code response indicates that the command was completed normally, but the battery
voltage is low. If the battery voltage is so low that a response cannot be returned, an error
code such as 72 will be returned.
2: Vertical parity errors, framing errors, and overrun errors do not occur for the V600-CHUD.
For details on each error, refer to Error Tables.

Multiple Area Control
The Hand-held Reader Writer can read and write across several non-consecutive Data Carrier
memory areas (10 areas max.) at one time. To use this feature, the number of control areas is
specified using the NUMBER OF CONTROL AREAS command. ASCII and hexadecimal code can be
used simultaneously for the one command control, but reading and writing cannot be performed
simultaneously.
Example: Data in the Following 3 Areas are Read
Area (1): Address 0010H
Number of bytes 05 bytes
Code setting ASCII
Area (2): Address 0030H
Number of bytes 02 bytes
Code setting Hexadecimal
