Installing the Battery To assure maximum usage, batteries should always be fully charged before their initial use. (See Battery Charging and Maintenance on page 12.) NOTE Orient the battery as shown in Figure 3, 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 scanner. Figure 3. Installing the Battery 1 1.
Verifying Scanner Operation Once a charged battery has been installed in the scanner, scan the sample bar codes in Appendix A that correspond to the symbologies your scanner is programmed to read. If unsure how to do this, 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 scanner and Base Station are programmed to respond (see LED and Beeper Indications for details).
2. Consult your Host Terminal manual to determine the required communication parameters for the Host Terminal (e.g., baud rate, parity, etc.) and, if necessary, modify the programmed parameters to be compatible with those requirements. Scanner and Base Station programming is performed using one of the following: - Configurator Express™ Programming Software - PowerScan™ Bar Code Scanner Programming Guide See References for more information about how to obtain software and manuals for this product.
Figure 5. Connecting Power to the Base Station 5. Apply power to the Host Terminal. 6. Verify communication with the Host Terminal by aiming the linked scanner at a sample bar code from Appendix A, and pulling the trigger (see How to Scan for tips about scanning bar codes). Confirm that the scanner/Base Station sent the data to the host terminal. If not, see the section, Maintenance and Troubleshooting. Once all communications are verified, the system is ready for use.
The existing Base Station system configuration can be automatically downloaded to the scanner. This automatic download feature is configurable and can be disabled. See the section, Common Configuration for more information about this feature. If downloading occurs, a slight delay with link verification announcement will occur.
• LED and Beeper Indications • Maximizing Signal Range • Three-Position Lock Battery Charging and Maintenance NOTE When the scanner is in use, a low battery condition is indicated by a repeated two-flash signal from the scanner’s green LED every time the trigger is pulled before the laser is enabled. This indicator may have been disabled via custom programming. See LED and Beeper Indications for more information.
NOTE Batteries will not charge if their temperature is below 0°C (30°F). If a battery that is too cold is inserted into the Base Station, the Charge LED will not illuminate. Tips for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries will better hold a charge if Extending allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that Battery Life correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in the battery.
