Laser Information

The Unitech MS840B/MS840P/MS084 series is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The MS840/MS084 series contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations. The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to harmful laser light during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service operations.

The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the MS840B/MS840P/MS084 series' optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover, on the back of the unit.

CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous laser light. Use of optical instruments with the scanner, including binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses, with will increase eye damage.

This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user.

Battery Notices

The MS840 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. The battery will discharge after an extended period of no use.

When the battery is discharged, recharge the unit for some 4.5 hours in order to fully charge the battery. Note: To guarantee optimal performance, it is advised that rechargeable batteries be replaced

every year, or when 500 charge/discharge cycles are achieved. It is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures. If the performance, of a Lithium-Ion battery, decrease is greater than 20% in, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of properly.

The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following:  Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several

partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a full discharge. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory effect.

 Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery

at a 40% charge level.

 Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period

because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of the one with frequent recharges.

Battery charge notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature when the Lithium-Ion battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.

CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C. This will increase the

internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range.

Storage and safety notice

Although the charged Lithium-Ion battery may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion battery may be stored at temperatures between -30°C to 70°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is recommended to store batteries at room temperature.

Warranty

The following items covered under the Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use:

 MS840B/MS840P/MS084 – 1-year limited warranty.  Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty.

Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user.

Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the warranty.

Setup Procedures

For most parameters, proceed the following steps for the setting:

1. Locate a group that contains the parameter to be changed.

2. Scan the "Enter Group #" label to enter setup mode. The green LED on the

scanner will flash to indicate that setup is in progress.

3. Scan the label (on right hand side) representing the parameter to be changed,

such as B1 label.

4. Scan the labels (number) representing the desired parameter value; for

example, for 05, scan “0” and “5” labels.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, if necessary, to change the parameters in the same

group.

6. Scan "Exit" label to end the group setup. The scanner will make two beeps to

end the setup.

The Output Data Editing feature wa implemented to the Scanner Configuration M interface for easier operation. Please downlo

h . This chapter will mainly describe the concept and feature provided by this

data output feature. The function described here also can be replaced by the “Pre-defined Labels” function. So if data-editing function is defined, “Pre-defined Labels” will be removed. They cannot be defined at the same time.

General

The purpose of Data Edit is allowing you to define and modify a data record that comes from

ecoding of a bar code. By using combination of formulas, you can perform the following

nctions on the data received by the scanner:

A. Rearrange the output sequences. B. Delete characters from the record. C. Insert characters to the record, including function codes. D. Duplicate characters in the record. E. Insert time delay in the record

Formula

Formula is a structure that tells the scanner what and how to process the original data record to produce the desired output. The wedge allows multiple Formulas, but the number of the Formulas can be defined depends on the memory size allocated for Data Editing.

 Original Data Structure The original data is the decoded data plus preamble and postamble. The original data structure is as follow:

Preamble Decoded Data Postamble

d fu

 Formula Structure A Formula consists of two parts: Qualifier and Modifier. Qualifier is used to verify if the data record meets the conditions specified and Modifier is processed only if all conditions in Qualifier are met.

 Execution Sequence If several Formulas were defined, data editing will perform sequentially from the first Formula to the last Formula. If a Formula is qualified and executed, the further formulas will be ignored. If none of the Formulas is executed, the data record will be discarded and there will be no output to the host.
