Installing the Battery To assure maximum usage, batteries should always be fully charged before their initial use. (See “Bat- tery Charging and Maintenance” on page 8.) NOTE Orient the battery as shown in Figure 1, then push it into the scanner until it snaps in place. To remove the battery, push in on the release tabs on both sides of the battery’s base and pull it straight out of the scan- ner. Figure 1. Installing the Battery 1 1 1.

Verifying Once a charged battery has been installed in the scanner, scan the sam- ple bar codes in the back of this manual that correspond to the symbol- Scanner ogies your scanner is programmed to read. If unsure how to do this, Operation see the section on How to Scan in this manual. The system may signal with one or a combination of indicators depending upon how the scan- ner and Base Station are programmed to respond (see LED and Beeper Indications for details).

Rapid flashing indicates that charging is taking place. Rapid charging occurs when the battery temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 46°C (115°F), and/or voltage of the battery is between 2.0 and 3.2V. Charge time is less than 4.2 hours. Rapid charge ends with the battery at approximately 90 to 95% capacity. The CHARGE LED remains on steady when trickle charging or after the charge cycle is complete. A scanner may be charged simultaneously while other scanners are in use with the Base Sta

Four Station If you have a Four Station Charger, batteries are inserted for charging as shown in Figure 5. A 90% rapid charge can be achieved in only two Charger hours when using this optional accessory, half the time than when a Base Station is used for charging. The LEDs at each battery station operate the same as the CHARGE LED on the Base Station, with rapid flashing indicating that rapid charging is taking place and on steady during trickle charging or when the rapid charge cycle is f

How to Scan Figure 6 illustrates some tips to help get the best scanning results: 1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code. 2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The scanner cannot correctly read if the entire bar code is not scanned. Figure 6.

Depth of Field There are currently four different range models for the scanner. Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum scan- ning results. The following diagrams provide depth of field informa- tion for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR).
