OPERATION OF
THE TERMINAL
The functionality of the terminal is determined
by software, the so-called user application,
that is running on the terminal.
Usually, the terminal is not equipped with
software and has no functionality. At first the
user application must be loaded before the
terminal can be used for barcode scanning.
RS 232
Connection sequence
for cradle in network:
Set all cradles to the same baud rate (by
DIPswitch)
Only 1 cradle in the network will be
connected to the PC through one RS232
cable. On this cradle the DIPswitch for RS232
connection must be enabled. Through this
connection all cradles can communicate to
the PC.
A maximum of 16 cradles can be connected
in a network through RS485 cables. For the
cradles that are not directly connected to the
PC the DIPswitch for RS232 connection
must be set to off.
The first and the last cradle in the network
must have the termination resistors set by
dipswitch.
RS 485

MANUAL
Tools for developing a user application on the
PC for use on the terminal, as supplied by
Opticon are:
Application Generator
PotStar (Limited or Professional)
C language: Microtec ANSI-C compiler
and C library for handheld terminals.
The user application must be downloaded
from the PC into the terminal. You can use the
cradle, an RS232 cable or an infrared adapter
for communication between the terminal and
the PC. A program on the PC will send the
user application to the terminal, where it is
stored in FlashROM memory.
When the functionality of the terminal is defined
by the application it is ready for operation.
In a typical application you will press the trigger
key and scan a bar code label as described in
the next chapter. Scanned data and data
entered from the keyboard is stored in the
terminal's RAM. The user application can use
this data in subsequent steps.
The collected data can be transmitted to the PC
for further processing. For data transmission
you can use the cradle, an RS232 cable or an
infrared adapter to connect the terminal to the
PC.

When reading a small bar code, decrease the
distance between the terminal and the bar code.
For larger bar codes, position the terminal so
that the bar code fits into the laser beam.
When reading a very high density bar code,
decrease the distance between the terminal
and the bar code. For a low density bar code,
increase the distance between the terminal
and bar code.

PROBLEMS
No communication from the cradle to the
device, or data is transmitted distorted or
corrupted.
TROUBLE
SHOOTING
This chapter contains information on solving
problems you may encounter when using the
terminal and/or cradle. If problems occur, first
carry out some general checks, before
verifying the problem with the descriptions in
this chapter.
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?
Are the bar code labels readable, eg. not
damaged or poorly printed?
Power indicator of the cradle is not green.
Check if the battery case cover of the
PHL2700 is closed properly.
Clean the optical interface window of the
cradle and/or terminal, and try again.
Check all cables.
When the power indicator is still not
green, the cradle needs service.
No data transmitted
The cradle will only work if connected to
a PC.
Clean the optical interface window of the
cradle and/or terminal, and try again.
If the equipment still does not work after these
checks have been performed, please verify if
one of the problems described in this chapter
applies to the problem you have with the
scanner.
Data is corrupted, or no data is
transmitted.
Is the proper baudrate selected?
The computer needs the same baudrate
as the terminal.
Clean the optical interface window of the
cradle and/or terminal, and try again.
It is possible that you may not solve the
problems, despite our descriptions. In this
instance, please contact your dealer or
Opticon.
The terminal looses data when the battery
pack is removed for a short period.
When the terminal needs to be repaired,
please ensure that the label with the serial
number is still present. If sending the terminal
or cradle, please use the original packing to
minimise the chances of damage.
