SUPPLEMENT PHL2700 This supplement should be used together with the user’s manual for PHL2700. This supplement describes the RF-ID feature of the PHL2700 and provides additional information or changes of the general functioning of PHL2700-RFID terminal in comparison to the standard PHL2700 terminal. TERMINAL / RF-ID FEATURE The changes for PHL2700 RF-ID in comparison to the standard PHL2700, (displayed in bold text) concerns: Chapter 1 added RF-ID technolgy Chapter 2 updated details of terminal Chapter 3 use different software The exact behavior of the terminal depends on the installed user application. For instructions about applications please consult the documentation of that software. Chapter 4 added scanning instructions for RF-ID Chapter 5 unchanged Read this supplement for RF-ID and the user’s manual for PHL2700 carefully before using the terminal, to maximise the efficiency of this terminal. Chapter 6 added RF-ID specifications updated battery specifications Chapter 7 added troubleshooting for RF-ID scanning Chapter 8 new terminal article code new software article code Laser Terminal PHL 2700 with RF - Identification feature RF-ID SUPPLEMENT CAUTION: This user’s manual is preliminary and may be revised or withdrawn at any time without prior notice.

SUPPLEMENT PHL2700 TERMINAL / RF-ID FEATURE RF-ID SUPPLEMENT INTRODUCTION The terminal is a compact, programmable handheld terminal, and is well suited for a variety of indoor portable applications. It has a built-in laser scanner that can scan all popular bar code labels at varying distances. RF-ID SUPPLEMENT INSTALLATION 1. Reading window - laser beam for barcode reading will be emitted from here - antenna for RF-ID reading / writing is located here In addition, the terminal is equipped with RF-ID technology and has RF read/write capability for various types of RF-ID tags. 10 11 12 15 14 13 SUPPLEMENT PHL2700 TERMINAL / RF-ID FEATURE 2. LCD Display for displaying information 3. LED indicator can be used to indicate results, for example bar code reading / status of communication 4. Power key for switching power On/Off 5. Trigger key definable by user’s application typical use: dual read key - switches laser beam on for barcode reading - switches RF-ID module on for RF-ID reading/writing 6. Quick keys definable by user’s application typical use: menu scroll keys or yes/no input 7. Control keys definable by user’s application for controlling basic functions typical use as below: CLR : Cancel input BS : Back space : Shift key “S”on the LCD display indicates the terminal is in the shift mode 8. Character keys definable by user’s application typical use: for input of alpha-numeric and punctuation characters 9. ENT key definable by user’s application typical use: for confirming input 10. Function keys definable by user’s application user programmable keys, to be used together with shift key. typical use as shown on next page RF-ID SUPPLEMENT OPERATION OF THE TERMINAL The functionality of the terminal is determined by software, the so-called user application, that is running on the terminal. A tool for developing a user application on the PC for use on the terminal, as supplied by Opticon is: C language, consisting of: - Microtec ANSI-C compiler - C library for handheld terminals - RF-ID addon library Note! An additional C-library for the PHL2700 with RF-ID feature has been developed, that needs to be used together with the C-compiler and C-library for handheld terminals. Application Generator Potstar will soon support Opticon handheld terminals with RF-ID technology. (Contact Opticon for availability) 11. Battery case cover for housing main battery 12. Optical interface window for infra red communication 13. Hand strap pillar for attaching hand strap 14. Electrical contacts for power supply from the cradle IRU2700 to terminal 15. RS-232C connector for connecting external device, or for system expansion, through Opticon RS232 cable SUPPLEMENT PHL2700 TERMINAL / RF-ID FEATURE RF-ID SUPPLEMENT SCANNING Depending on the user application that is running, the terminal can use the RF-ID technology for reading a RF-ID tag or for a combination of reading and writing. The terminal will detect, read, and write the RF-ID tag in the way as defined by the user. ca. 90º scan position - How to position the terminal - How to write the RF-ID tag The read direction must be perpendicular to the plane surface of the tag, as shown in the scan position illustration. Make sure the tag will not move and hold the terminal stable for the time that it is writing. If the tag moves out of the antenna field before the writing is completed, the writing operation will fail. - How to read the RF-ID tag - RF-ID tag reading/writing problems Point the nose of the terminal on the tag. Note that the maximum reading distance depends on the type of tag. When a tag is not responding to the terminal move the nose to another location of the tag. Reduce the distance between the tag and the terminal. Point the terminal to the edge of the tag. Make sure there is only one tag in the reading range.

Supported RF Tags at 13.56 MHz Philips I-Code Texas Instruments Tag-It ISO 15693 Supported RF Tags at 134.2 kHz Texas Instruments TIRIS SUPPLEMENT PHL2700 TERMINAL / RF-ID FEATURE RF-ID SUPPLEMENT TROUBLE SHOOTING 7.2 READ OPERATION PROBLEMS General checks: Make sure everything is installed properly Check the power supply of all devices Is the reading window of the terminal clean? Is the optical window of the cradle clean? Is the RF-ID tag readable, eg. not damaged? Has the terminal been configured to read the type of RF-ID tag? Consult your application. When the terminal has a problem with reading/writing the RF-ID tag: A metal object is placed direct above or below the RF-ID tag. Remove the metal object or move the tag to an other area. The RF-ID tag is not read Decrease the distance between the tag and the terminal. Point the terminal to the edge of the tag. Make sure there is only one tag in the reading range. Place the nose of the terminal in perpendicular direction with the tag. The RF-ID tag is not recognized When using I-code tag, possibly the tag is in “quiet” mode. Enable the terminal to send a “reset quiet mode” command. (consult documentation of user application) Check if the type of RF-ID tag is supported by the user’s application. If not, enable it.
