Laser Safety

The portable data terminal complies with safety standard IEC 60825 for a Class I laser product. It also complies with CDRH as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term staring into direct laser light.

Radiant Energy: The advanced portable data terminal uses two low-power visible laser diodes operating at 650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.

Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not remove the protective housing of the scanner. There are no

user-serviceable parts inside.

Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not include normal eye glasses worn by the user.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Personal Data Collector (PDC) with LCD display. Along with superior portability and visually safe scanning LEDs, the PDC features a real-time clock, a buzzer, a dual-color status LED, and a UART port for direct connection to external equipment.

The on-board 32K EEPROM provides a robust, stable, programmable memory space. Some of this non-volatile memory is dedicated to storing scanned data. The PDC can retain more than 1000 records.

The Personal Data Collector comes already programmed with a basic data collection program, called FREETASK, that can scan and store barcodes, and do simple edits on the stored data. Data can be uploaded to a PC through the RS-232 / USB cable.

WinTaskGen, a program on the included CD-ROM, can be used to create data collection programs (Tasks) for download and use with the PDC. A Task can have up to four data forms with up to 16 separate data fields per form.

For more advanced requirements, there are available libraries for developing programs under the Keil C environment.

Contact your agent if you are interested in this approach.

Battery Care

In the interests of providing the best product performance possible, the Personal Data Collector comes with high quality, rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a Power Adapter. After NiMH batteries are installed, connect the Power Adapter cable and the batteries charge right in the unit.

Before you use new NiMH batteries for the first time you should charge them fully. Please note that new NiMH batteries need to go through three to five charge-dis-charge cycles before they reach peak performance and capacity. The first several times that you use new NiMH batteries you may find that they discharge fairly quickly during use. This is normal until the batteries mature.

It is highly recommended that NiMH batteries always be operated until fully discharged before recharging. If you recharge NiMH batteries before they are fully discharged, they may develop a pattern of inhibited output.

Under favorable conditions, NiMH batteries can last through hundreds of recharges. You will get better performance if you keep battery teams together. Don’t mix new and old batteries.
