The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read. Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection. IMAGETEAM ™ 4230 Quick Start Guide IT4230 Models About the Battery Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold by Hand Held Products will void your warranty and may result in damage to your unit. Power is supplied to the cordless imager by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the imager handle. Each imager is shipped with a battery. Charging Information The battery is designed to charge using a wall adapter. Only use the battery charger supplied with the imager. Using another power supply may damage the imager. Plug the adapter into the bottom of the imager’s handle. IMAGETEAM™ 4230 Quick Start Guide Battery Recommendations Batteries are shipped discharged and need to be fully charged prior to first use. The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge. It also can be re-charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell type battery. Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the battery. Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the IT4230. Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause severe personal injury. Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge. If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for inspection. Proper Disposal of the Battery When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send batteries to Hand Held Products (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 12) for recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company. Using the Imager with Bluetooth Devices The IT4230 imager may be used with other Bluetooth devices. If the imager goes out of and back within range of the Bluetooth device, it automatically reconnects to the device. Tested Bluetooth Adapters The following Bluetooth adapters have been verified to operate with the IT4230. IMAGETEAM™ 4230 Quick Start Guide Note: Communication with other devices may be possible; however, only those listed have been tested for compatibility with the IT4230. Billionton BT USB Adapter Class 1 (p/n UBTCR3C1A-B) Belkin BT USB Adapter Class 1 (F8T001 ver 2.11) Blaze BT USB Adapter Class 1 (BTU01 B) EagleTec BT USB Adapter Class 1 (ET-BTHC1U-A) Example of Connecting IT4230 with a PC Note: This example applies to a PC with Windows® 2000 only. The Bluetooth Serial Port Service on a computer allows a remote device, the IT4230 imager, to establish a wireless link with the computer. The wireless link can then be used as though a physical serial cable connects the IT4230 and the computer. The link is initiated by the IT4230 operating in server mode, but once the link is established the IT4230 and computer swap modes and the IT4230 becomes the client. At the time of manufacture the imager is configured to operate in server mode. Also, whenever the "DEFAULT" menu bar code symbol is scanned, the IT4230 reverts to server mode. The process to establish a link between an IT4230 and a computer equipped with Bluetooth is as follows: 1. Configure the computer's Bluetooth "Local Services" serial port to start automatically. 2. Pull and release the trigger on the IT4230 to insure that the imager is powered up. 3. Scan the "DEFAULT" menu symbol to insure that the imager is in server mode. 4. Run "Discover Bluetooth Devices" on the computer. 5. Connect to serial port, if the computer is configured for a secure connection, the user will be prompted for the IT4230's pin code (See "Changing Bluetooth PIN Code" on page 6.) If desired, the user can set the IT4230's pin code with the bar code menu prior to initiating this process. The default value for the pin code is 1234. 6. The IT4230 and the computer then create a link and automatically swap modes, with the imager becoming the client and the computer the server. 7. Open the computer application that is to receive data from the IT4230, using the COM port number indicated for the Bluetooth Serial Port in the computer's list of "Local Services". IMAGETEAM™ 4230 Quick Start Guide Changing Bluetooth PIN Code Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your imager’s default PIN is 1234, which you may need to enter the first time you connect to your PDA or PC. To change the PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes from the Programming Codes on page 9. Scan Save to save your selection. Out-of-Range Alarm If your imager is out range, an alarm sounds. Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error beep. You receive the error beep since the data could not be communicated to the host.

These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center. Maintenance The IT4230 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable imager operation: Cleaning the Imager’s Window Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened with water only. The imager’s housing may also be cleaned the same way. Caution: Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or phenol based agents) on the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish or the window. 10 IMAGETEAM™ 4230 Quick Start Guide Inspecting Cords and Connectors Inspect the imager’s charge adapter cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager operation. Contact your Hand Held Products distributor for information about charge adapter replacement. Changing the IT4230 Battery: If the red aiming illumination line isn’t illuminated, check that: • The battery is charged. • The trigger works. Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols? If the imager isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols: • Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids. • Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface. Are enabled in the imager or in the decoder to which the imager connects. Is the bar code displayed but not entered? The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example). You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the imager to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data into your application. IMAGETEAM™ 4230 Quick Start Guide 11 The imager won’t read your bar code at all. 1. Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled. You may validate this by reading a the UPC bar code below. If it reads this code, please contact Technical Support. (See "Technical Support" on page 12). UPC A If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the imager, or if you want the factory default settings restored, scan See "Resetting the Standard Product Defaults" on page 7.
