INFORMATION 23
This terminal is a compact, programmable
handheld terminal, and is well suited for a
variety of indoor portable applications. It has a
built-in laser scanner that can scan all popular
bar code labels at varying distances.
User’s applications can be downloaded to the
terminal to adapt the terminal to the user’s
situation.
Operating power is supplied by the main
battery. The main battery may consist of a
rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack (to be
charged in cradle), or dry cell batteries, either
non-rechargeable or rechargeable (to be
charged in external charger).
The cradle is a communication station for data
transmission between the (host) computer
system and the terminal. It communicates with
the terminal through their IrDA interface. The
cradle will also charge the rechargeable
battery pack in the terminal through the
electrical contacts.
The IrDA interface on the terminal enables
you to communicate with other devices that
use IrDA communication, like portable
computers, notebooks and organisers.
Additional a RS232 cable can be used.
The RS232 cable can be used for direct
communication between the (host) computer
system and the terminal, for example to
download software to the terminal.

Use of the terminal
Operate the terminal keys by
pressing them lightly with your
fingertips or with something soft
and round.
Pressing the keys with a sharp
pointed object (for eg. a ballpoint) can damage the keys.
Avoid temperature changes.
Sudden temperature changes
can cause condensation to
form on the terminal. Using the
terminal while condensation is
present can cause malfunction.
Always wait until the condensation clears naturally before
attempting operation.
Do not leave the terminal in an
area where static charge is
accumulated, or near devices
where electromagnetic emission
is generated.
Do not place any objects on top
of the terminal. Do not lay the
terminal face down.
Doing so can cause accidental
operation of the [PW] key or
[ENTER] key, which can discharge your batteries or
change settings you do not
want to be changed.
Cleaning of the terminal
Clean the optical interface window periodically.
Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the terminal or the
cradle. So do not try to take it
apart. The manufacturer will not
be liable for any damage
caused by the customer.
In case of malfunction that can not be solved
by the trouble-shooting instruction in the
appendix, please consult our service
department.
