1.1 BATTERY
 Main Battery
The 9400 Mobile Computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/1800 mAh Li-ion
battery pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it. However, the
charging time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the
mobile computer can work for up to 10 hours.
 Backup Battery
The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is
removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.7 V/70 mAh rechargeable
Lithium button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in
suspend mode for at least 20 hours without the main battery. In the meantime,
you have to replace the main battery as soon as possible.
9400 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
1.1.1 INSERTING THE BATTERY
When you first receive the package, the rechargeable functionality of the backup
battery is turned off. It is controlled by a DIP switch inside the battery compartment
as shown below.
For shipping and storage purposes, save the mobile computer and the main battery
in separate packages, and adjust the DIP switch to the OFF position (bottom). This will
keep both batteries in good condition for future use.
Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
1) Press
for the mobile computer to enter suspend mode.
2) Remove the hand strap.
10
Chapter 1 錯誤! 尚未定義樣式。
3) Hold the mobile computer still and press the release button to unlock the battery
cover.
4) Slide off the battery cover.
5) Use the stylus (or a sharp-pointed object, such as a pencil) to adjust the DIP
switch to the ON position (top). Now the internal backup battery can be charged
by the main battery.
6) Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment at a proper angle (30°~45°)
so that the metal contacts on the battery are met with the charging contacts
inside the compartment. Make sure that the battery is snugly fit into the
compartment.
7) Slide the battery cover back onto the mobile computer until it clicks into place.
8) If the battery is charged, the mobile computer turns on.
If the mobile computer does not turn on, charge the battery.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.

9400 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY
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
mobile computer.
Note: To charge the batteries to full, it requires approximately 8 hours for the first time.
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 inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and
then seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging. This will have both the
main and backup batteries charged at the same time. To charge the backup
battery, make sure that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to
the ON position.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.

1.1.3 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS
The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also
charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can
be retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low (see below
for battery status icon), you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or
charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, always save data before it is too late; you
should backup important data on a regular basis.

DESCRIPTION
CCD/Laser
Reader
If enabled, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the
reader settings for CCD or Laser scan engine.
 Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix II – CCD/Laser
Scan Engine.
2D Reader
The 2D scan engine is capable of reading linear and 2D
barcodes.
If enabled, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the
reader settings for 2D scan engine.
 Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix III – 2D Scan
Engine.
4.3.2 RFID READER SETTINGS
If the RFID scan engine is present, configurable options will be displayed.
Note: Because it is possible to read barcode and RFID tag at the same time, it is
recommended that only one scan engine is enabled at a time to prevent
from misreading.
Some RFID tags support both read/write operations, on a page-by-page basis. You
may find it necessary to define your own read/write operation. For reference only,
the table below lists the start page for read/write operation on a number of RFID
tags.

Note: Please refer to the specifications of your RFID tags for memory organization.
READ OPERATION
By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default
page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify
how many bytes of data you want to read from the tag.
Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure
that the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need
to select the check box of [Display hex values] first.
WRITE OPERATION
Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the
tag from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes
and number of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will
automatically be truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it
comes to the end of pages available.
Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use.
The string will be displayed as “user data”. If you wish to write the string to a non-user
block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values]
first.
Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, make sure the string length
must be even. For example, if you want to write 0x0A, 0x0B and 0x00 to a tag, the
string you input must be “0A0B00” instead of “AB0”.

SCAN ENGINE SETTINGS
The Reader Configuration Utility (94ReaderCfg.exe) allows configuring the following
reader types, depending on the module equipped on your mobile computer:
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
2D scan engine
RFID reader
Options of different reader combination are allowed, such as 1D+RFID and 2D+RFID.
For each combination, both readers can be initialized and ready for scanning at the
same time (dual mode operation). For example, if you press the [Scan] button while
running the 94ReaderCfg applet on the mobile computer, it will read a barcode in
position or an RFID tag in proximity depending on which one comes first.
Note: You cannot have 1D+2D scan engines installed on the mobile computer
because they are both barcode readers!
SYMBOLOGIES SUPPORTED
Varying by the scan engine installed, the supported symbologies or tag types are

Read Redundancy
None
Level 0 = None
No redundancy means one successful decoding will make the
reading valid and induce the "READER Event".
Level 1 = One time
The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy
the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
Level 2 = Two times
Level 3 = Three
times
 If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four
consecutive successful decodings of the same barcode to
make the reading valid.

Passthroug
h All
Symbols
Transmit all decoded data from an entire Macro
PDF sequence only when the entire sequence is
scanned and decoded. If the decoded data
exceeds the limit of 50 symbols, no transmission
because the entire sequence was not scanned!
TRANSMIT ANY SYMBOL IN SET / NO PARTICULAR
ORDER
Transmit data from each Macro PDF symbol as
decoded, regardless of the sequence.
PASSTHROUGH ALL SYMBOLS
Transmit and decode all Macro PDF symbols
and perform no processing. In this mode, the
host is responsible for detecting and parsing the
Macro PDF sequences.
ESC Characters
None
When enabled, it uses the backlash "\" as an
Escape character for systems that can process
transmissions containing special data sequences.
It will format special data according to the Global
Label Identifier (GLI) protocol, which only affects
the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol
transmission. The Control Header, if enabled, is
always sent with GLI formatting.
Note: When printing barcodes, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each
has a unique identifier. Do not mix barcodes from several Macro PDF
sequences, even if they encode the same data. When you scan Macro PDF
sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption!
