3 Setting Up HB-2000 This section describes the main components constituting HB-2000 and their functionality. Parts List Verify that all items listed below are present: HB-2000 Terminal Power Supply Battery 3.1 HB-2000 Terminal The HB-2000 terminal is embedded with an UHF RFID module, UHF antenna, battery and external (left and right) triggers, buzzer sound outlet and LED status indicators.
3.2 Scanner Triggers Located on left and right sides of the terminal for user to press for reading RFID tags, release to stop reading. 1) Press either the left or right trigger to send command reading RFID tags, release the (depressed) trigger to send the stop command. 2) Simultaneously press both left and right triggers for more than 2 seconds puts HB2000 in sleep mode.
4) To conserve energy, with Bluetooth connected, hold either the left or right trigger for an extended time period will shut off RFID, the green LED goes off (Bluetooth connection still intact). 5) With Bluetooth connected, if RFID is off (dimmed green LED), pressing either trigger once will turn on RFID (green LED lights up). 3.3 Circular Cover - Turn the circular cover left (counterclockwise) to open, right (clockwise) to close.
3.4 Installing Battery depress the battery compartment open/close latch (orange) at same time pull back battery compartment cover until released from latch, pull up.
3.5 Power Charging Use Power Supply for Terminal with Battery 1) Power Supply Specifications Input: 100-240 VAC 0.55 A, 50-60Hz Output: 12 VDC 2A / Plug 2) Use Manufacturer Supplied Power Supply 3) Must first have battery in compartment 4) Refer to 3.6 for LED info.

9/16/2013 5 Bluetooth Module and Connectivity Connection Settings: 57600,8,N,1 Version: Bluetooth Class 2 or better Bluetooth Module Function: Data exchange with PC, tablet or Smartphone via Bluetooth after are successful pairing. Pairing Success: Once paired successfully, the Bluetooth Module shuts down its search mode. In other words, it no longer broadcasts and looks for other devices, even after disconnect it won't resume in search mode.
9/16/2013 6 Pairing HB-2000 with a PC 6.1 Add Bluetooth Device HB-2000 Clicking the Bluetooth icon on PC1, without any Bluetooth device paired an empty window2 is displayed as shown below. Figure 1 Initial Bluetooth Devices Window 6.2 Searching HB-2000 Click the "Add a device" button launches a search to identify Bluetooth device candidates. An example result window is shown in Figure 2 where an HB-2000 is listed. 1 2 Either with built-in Bluetooth functionality or through use of a Bluetooth Dongle.
9/16/2013 Figure 2 Bluetooth device candidates 6.3 Pairing Select HB-20003 and click "Next" brings up a window shown in Figure 3 for selecting a pairing option. Click on "Enter the device's pairing code" brings up window shown in Figure 4. Type in an HB-2000 preset pairing code value of "0000". 3 Be sure HB-2000 is not in sleep mode during the pairing process.
