other programs such as Setting Menu except Reading screen.

Is the AC adaptor connected to the cradle properly?
MID-100 cannot be charged when AC adaptor is not connected to the cradle properly.
Is the charging terminal clean?
MID-100 cannot be charged properly when the charging terminal is not clean. Wipe off
the dirt on the charging terminal with a cotton swab immersed in neutral detergent or
ethanol periodically.
Is the battery usage time short?
The battery is a consumable item. If the battery life lasts only for a short time even after
being fully charged, it is considered to be almost dead. Exchange it with a new battery
as soon as possible
For the detail of battery pack replacement, contact our sales department.

7.3. Cannot read symbol.
Is the symbol system setting correct?
When the symbol system setting is limited, MID-100 cannot read symbols other than the
setting.
Refer to Section,”5.3 Barcode Setting,” for a required symbol setting.
Is the reading range appropriate?
When the symbol is out of the specification of reading range or depth, reading may not
be operated. Refer to Section,”6.3 Reading Specifications
Is the symbol quality good?
Even if the reading range is within the specifications, reading may not be operated when
the symbol quality is low. Make sure whether the basic width/width ratio for 1D codes
and cell position, code size etc. for 2D codes conform to the standards. Low-quality
nonstandard symbols such as with thin, chipped, dirty prints may not be read.
Is print surface glossy?
Glossy surfaces may reflect the illumination light like a mirror. Adjust the position of the
reader such as tilting the reader not to make the reflect light enter the reading window.
Is reading window clean?
If reading window is dirty, lighting becomes dark or decoded image becomes
distorted/dark. Wipe off the dirt on the reading window with a cotton swab or dry cloth
immersed in alcohol and wipe with a dry cloth again.
7.4. Data cannot be sent
Is MID-100 connected via Bluetooth connection?
Check the paring information. If it is not connected, reconnection is required.
