SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Be sure to observe all these safety precautions. Strict observance of these warning and caution indications are a MUST for preventing accidents which could result in bodily injury and substantial property damage. Make sure you fully understand all definitions of these terms and related symbols given below, before you proceed on to the text itself. Alerts you to those conditions which could cause serious bodily injury or death if the instructions are not followed correctly.
Handling the battery cartridge ? Only use the dedicated charger for charging the rechargeable battery cartridge. Using a different type of charger could cause battery-rupture or leakage of battery fluid and result in a fire, bodily injury, or serious damage to property. ? Never disassemble or heat the rechargeable battery cartridge, nor put it into fire or water; doing so could cause battery-rupture or leakage of battery fluid, resulting in a fire or bodily injury.
Handling the BHT ? The BHT uses a laser light for indicating the scanning range. The intensity of the laser light might be too low to inflict bodily injury. However, do not look into the laser beam or view directly with optical instruments. The BHT complies with IEC 60825-1:1993+A2:2001.
Handling the rechargeable cartridge ? Never charge a wet or damp rechargeable battery cartridge. Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn. Handling the BHT ? If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull out the battery cartridge, and contact your nearest dealer. Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
• In environments where static electricity can build into significant charges (e.g., if you wipe off the plastic plate with a dry cloth), do not operate the BHT. Doing so will result in malfunction or machine failure. • Touch (tap) the LCD only with the stylus that comes with the BHT. Using the tip of a pen or any pointed object will result in a damaged or broken LCD.

(Functionally equivalent to "click" with a mouse on a PC. Double-tap Refers to quickly touching the LCD twice. (Functionally equivalent to "double-click" with a mouse on a PC. Drag Refers to moving the stylus to the object while touching the LCD. (Functionally equivalent to "drag" with a mouse on a PC.
Reading Bar Codes Turn the BHT on, bring the bar-code reading window to the bar code to be scanned, and press the trigger switch. Pressing the trigger switch halfway emits a laser light to indicate the scanning range and pressing it fully turns on the illumination LED to scan the bar code. Bar codes can also be scanned by pressing the Scan key. When the BHT has read the bar code successfully, the indicator LED will illuminate in blue.
? If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other factors, change the scanning angle of the reading window or the distance from codes as shown at right, and try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the light from the bar code becomes excessively strong. This can easily happen when the reflecting surface is polished or covered with vinyl.) ? The laser light indicates the scanning range as a guide. The indicated scanning range will deviate a little bit from the actual one.
Using Radio Link and Bluetooth® Wireless Communication Link The BHT-400BB- CE/400BWB- CE supports spread spectrum communication. • If there are too many communications errors, first make sure that the BHT-400BB- CE/400BWB- CE points directly at an access point because the 2.4-GHz band requires a more or less straight line path. Note also that the low -power radio waves have trouble passing through human bodies and other obstacles along that path.
Using Infrared Link ??CU- 400 Make sure that the BHT is securely in the CU-400. Shield the IrDA interface from direct sunlight, ambient intense lighting (inverter-driven fluorescent lighting, in particular), and other potential sources of infrared radiation. Sourc es to watch out for include remote control units for television sets and the like.
Loading the Battery Cartridge Before the first use of the BHT, be sure to load the battery cartridge as shown below. The battery cartridge is not loaded in the BHT when shipped from the factory. (1) Turn the BHT upside down. (2) Slide the release buttons in the direction shown below and remove the battery cartridge cover. (3) Push the battery cartridge into the BHT. (To remove it, first make sure that the BHT is turned off.
• The BHT integrates a rechargeable backup power source which backs up the memory and calendar clock in the BHT when no battery cartridge is loaded or the voltage level of the battery cartridge drops below the specified level. The backup power source is automatically charged by the battery cartridge. When you first load the battery cartridge after purchase or you load it after leaving the BHT unused for a long time, do not remove the battery cartridge for at least 48 hours after that loading.
Calibrating the Touch Screen At the first use of the BHT, you need to calibrate the touch screen and set up the calendar clock. Press the power key to turn on the BHT. The calibration screen appears, so follow the on-screen instructions. If nothing appears, first perform a "cold boot" (described on the "Warm and Cold Booting" on page 21).
