REMOVING/INSTALLING THE BATTERY

REMOVING THE BATTERY
To remove the battery, locate the screw on the Battery Cover and rotate it anti-clockwise using a mid-sized coin. The Battery Cover can then be removed. The battery and ‘Battery Pull Tab’ will now be visible. Use the ‘Battery Pull Tab’ to slide the battery out.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
To install the battery, first orientate the battery so that the electrical contacts on the battery line up with the contacts inside the 1166 battery cavity. Slide the battery into the battery cavity, then replace the Battery Cover. Make sure that the ‘Battery Pull Tab’ does not get stuck between the battery cover and the battery cavity - if this happens then the environmental sealing will be compromised.

CHARGING AND USB CONNECTION

SETTING UP THE 1166 DOCKING STATION KIT
The 1166 UHF Reader kit uses a dedicated Docking Station for charging and synchronisation. The Docking Station Kit includes the dock, a power supply unit and a Mini USB cable. A separately purchased IEC mains cable is also required. The Mini USB cable and power cable are inserted into the 1166 Docking Station in the orientation shown below. Note that both cables plug into the back of the docking station at a slight upwards angle.

BUTTON OPERATION

The 1166 UHF Reader has a Primary button action and a Secondary button action which can be initiated by different button clicks: By default, the Primary action scans for UHF transponders, whilst the Secondary action initiates the laser barcode scanner (Barcode scanning is only available with the 2D Imager Antenna variant). Which operation is performed depends on the way in which the button is pressed. The Single and Double press button options are also programmable.
PRIMARY BUTTON CLICK AND HOLD
- UHF Transponder Read
>
>
The primary button click is a standard button action:
● To initiate a primary button click press and hold the trigger button.
● To terminate a primary button click release the trigger button.
In the default configuration the 1166 UHF Reader scans for UHF transponders as the primary function. The 1166 UHF Reader will continue to scan for UHF transponders while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning once the button is released (and the current operation completes).
SECONDARY BUTTON DOUBLE CLICK AND HOLD
– Barcode Scan (2D Imager Variant only)
>
>
The secondary button click is a single click quickly followed by a second press (press-release-press).
● To initiate a secondary button click press then release then press and hold the trigger button.
>
● To terminate a secondary button click release the trigger button.
In the default configuration the 1166 UHF Reader scans for barcodes as the secondary function. The 1166 UHF Reader will continue to scan for a barcode while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning when any of the following conditions are met:
● A barcode is scanned.
● The button is released.
● The barcode engine times out.

READING TRANSPONDERS

RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is located on the front of the 1166 UHF Reader. The range at which a transponder can be read depends on the transponder type and size, and the number of transponders in the field.
The UHF reader reads transponders in front of the antenna
