Normally, it takes approximately four hours to fully charge the battery. The charging time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the terminal can work for up to 16 hours. Warning: Using backlight, wireless connectivity, and peripherals while on battery power will substantially reduce battery life. Backup Battery The backup battery takes charge when the main battery is removed or drained out. If fully charged, it will help retain data in SDRAM and maintain the system running in suspend mode for at least 30 minutes without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to replace the main battery as soon as possible. Battery Charge Initial Charging The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package, you will need to charge batteries to full before using the terminal. Note: To charge the batteries for the first time, it requires approximately 8 hours. After the initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the batteries to full. Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the initial charging requires installing the battery pack to the terminal and then seating the terminal in the cradle for charging. This will have both the main and backup batteries charged at the same time. Note: To charge the backup battery, make sure that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to the ON position.

CCD scan engine Laser scan engine Scan Mode ON OFF Always Press trigger once Continuous mode Test mode Repeat mode Momentary mode Alternate mode Hold trigger Press trigger twice Release Press trigger trigger once Aiming mode Laser mode Auto Off mode Auto Power Off mode Barcode Timebeing out read 114 9500CE Reference Manual Continuous Mode The reader is always scanning, but only one decoding is allowed for the same barcode. That is, to read (i.e. scan and decode) the same barcode multiple times, the barcode has to be taken away and replaced for new scanning. Several modes have been developed based on this mode. Test Mode The reader is always scanning for testing purpose. Comparing to the Continuous mode, it will decode repeatedly even with the same barcode without re-approaching. Repeat Mode This mode is most useful when the same barcode is to be read many times. When the scan trigger is pressed within one second after a successful reading, the same data will be re-transmitted without actually reading the barcode. Such re-transmission can be activated as many times as needed, as long as the time interval between each triggering does not exceed one second. The reader is always scanning. It will decode once for the same barcode and allow for re-transmission when triggering within one second. Momentary Mode Hold down the scan trigger to start scanning. The scanning continues until the trigger is released. Alternate Mode Press the scan trigger to start scanning. The scanning continues until the trigger is pressed again. Aiming Mode This mode best applies when two barcodes are printed too close to each other. It is necessary to take aim first to make sure the correct barcode will be scanned. Press the scan trigger to aim at a barcode. Within one second, press the trigger again to decode the barcode. The scanning continues until one of the events happens: (1) A barcode is read. (2) The preset timeout expires. Note: The system global variable AIMING_TIMEOUT can be used to change the default one-second timeout interval for aiming. The unit for this variable is 5 ms. Appendix I 錯誤! 尚未定義樣式。 115 Laser Mode This mode is most often used on laser scanners. Hold down the scan trigger to start scanning. The scanning continues until one of the events happens: (1) A barcode is read. (2) The preset timeout expires. (3) The trigger is released. Auto Off Mode This is the default mode. The reader will start to scan once the scan trigger is pressed. The scanning continues until one of the events happens: (1) A barcode is read. (2) The preset timeout expires. Auto Power Off Mode The reader will start to scan once the scan trigger is pressed. The scanning continues until one of the events happens: (1) The preset timeout expires. Comparing to the Auto Off mode, the reader continues to scan whenever there is a successful reading of barcode because its timeout period re-counts.
