Battery Charging and Communications

T o charge the PDT 3100’s batteries or perform communications, you have the option of using either a 31XX cradle or the 3115 Communications/Charger Adapter.

3115 Communications/Charger Adapter

The Series 3100 has an optional communi cations/charger adapter (CCA) that facilitates communication with a host when no cradle is available, an d provides power to the termina l from a wall-mounted power supply for battery charging during terminal use and flash EPROM programming.

Battery Charging

To provide power directly to a terminal for charging the NiCd battery:

1. Plug the 10-pin RJ41 connector into the base of the Series 3100 terminal.

2. Plug the connector from the 15V power supply, P/N 55915-00 -00 (US, 1 15V) o r 60507-00- 00 (Internatio nal, 230V) into the power input jack (J1) on the CCA.

Quick Reference

Connecting the Modems

Direct Connect

Some terminals use an optional interna l modem th a t comm unicat es at rates of up to 14,400 bps (with v.32 bis data compression). There are

specific firmware settings which are used to configure the modem’s hardware and software for proper operation and regulatory complianc e. The ter m ina l’s appli cati o n can con trol these settings and ena ble you to view a nd amend the setting s for country/region, pulse/tone dialing, or repeat dial timing. Incorrectly defining these settings can lead to illegal use of the modem and can create unreliable operation. The application developer should consult the Series 3000 Application Programmer’s Reference Manual for correct settings.

If your terminal is equipped with a direct connect modem, connect the modem as follows:

1. Turn the termin al off.

2. Release the hand strap on the back of the terminal.

3. Detach the protective plug covering the modem jack on the back of the terminal and plug in one of the telephone cord’s connectors.

RJ-41 Jack

4. Plug the cord’s other connector into a telephone jack.

5. Turn the terminal back on.

Quick Reference

Acoustic

Some Series 3100 termin als are e quipped wit h a built-i n acoustic modem which allows dir ect data t ransm ission over a te lephone line.

If your terminal is equipped with an acoustic modem, connect the modem as follows:

1. Turn the termin al off.

2. Release the hand strap on the back of the terminal.

3. Slide the mouthpiece of the telephone in to position on the muff. Place the hand strap over the telephone handset as shown below and reattach the strap.

4. Turn the terminal back on.

Connecting the Terminal to a Printer

The Series 3100 has an optional cable (p/n 25-10413-01) which is used to connect the terminal to a PS-1000 Series printer or a tethered PS-200 printe r (P/N 20-11062-03).

To connect the terminal to one of the printers listed abov e:

1. Plug the 10-pin RJ41 connector into the base of a Series 3100 terminal.

2. Plug the DB9 connector in the communications port on

the printer.

the terminal before using the scanners.

5. If using a wand scanner , lightly touch the scanner tip to the white space at th e left side of t he bar code a nd move it to the right.

IEC825/EN60825 Class 1 Scanner

Series 3100 termi nals are equipped with an IEC825/EN60825 scanner operate on an emissions accumulator or “gas tank” which determines the amount of scan time that you have available. To meet low power consumption standards, the scanner cannot sc an cont inu ou sly.

If the gas tank runs out of scan time, the terminal emits a long low beep. Release the scan trigger and wait until the terminal emits a long high beep, indicating that it ac crued enough scan time for you to resume scanning.
