the notches on the phone. Push the battery top into the phone until
the latch clicks.
2. Detach the battery by depressing the latch and pulling the battery top
away from the phone.
Battery Swapping
NetVision Data Phone users can swap the battery during
data operations when the phone is idle. The Data Phone
beeps to warn that the battery has reached a level that can-
not support phone functions. Remove the battery without first
powering off the phone and install a fully charged battery.
Install a fresh battery within three minutes to retain user configuration.
After installing the new battery, press

To prevent injury or burns, do not short-circuit the bat-
tery terminals with metal objects. Use only approved
batteries and charging accessories with the NetVision
Data Phone. Do not charge the battery in a charger
other than a Symbol NetVision Data Phone Charger.
Battery Charging
The NetVision Data Phone Battery Charger can recharge two batteries, attached to
and detached from the Data Phone. When charging the battery attached to the
phone, turn off the phone before inserting it into the charger. Place
the battery into the rear charger slot or battery and phone combina-
tion into the front charger slot. The indicators for each slot on the
charger indicate the following status:
GREEN battery is fully charged and ready for use.
RED battery is charging; wait until the status indicator
changes to GREEN before using battery. Fully charge
the battery before using the NetVision Data Phone.
AMBER charger is charging the other battery. The charger
begins the charging cycle for the first device inserted;
the charging cycle for the other device begins after
the first cycle finishes.
Operating the Phone
Press
SND
to power on the Data Phone
and activate a network connection. After
the initial message, the phone
displays
Idle
status.
Connecting to the Network
The quality of Data Phone communication and data collection depends on the network radio recep-
tion. Large objects and other radiating devices can affect network reception. Use the Radio Signal
Strength Indicator on the display to monitor reception quality. The NetVision Data Phone can also
cause radio-frequency interference to other devices. Use the Data Phone only in areas designated by
the network administrator.
If the phone cannot connect to the network, the phone displays
No Network
. The phone cannot
make or receive calls, receive paged messages or perform data collection when disconnected from
the network.
The NetVision Data Phone ships with basic defaults for immediate use. The network administrator
preloads each Data Phone with configuration data to enable the advanced features and access other
system-related applications. The network administrator configures NetVision Data Phones in one of
two ways:
- As a shared phone, the system administrator preloads the Data Phone with a list of user profiles.
This allows you to pick up and use any Data Phone.
- As a personal phone, the system administrator preloads the Data Phone for one user.
The Setup user profile is reserved for the network administrator. Support and Symbol user profiles are
reserved for Symbol Technologies support personnel.

Data Collection Features
The NetVision Data Phone can collect data for many different applications. The type of data collected
depends on the network configuration. You can enter data by keypad entry or using the built-in, bar
code scanner. To scan a bar code:
1. Aim the top of the NetVision Data Phone towards the bar code. Adjust the distance to the bar code.
Hold the Data Phone farther away for larger bar codes. Optimum distance is approximately six to
ten inches (15 to 25 cm).
2. Press
SCAN
to switch to the data collection application
.
Observe that the scan beam crosses all the
bars of the bar code. The call indicator turns green and the Data Phone beeps after successfully
reading the bar code.
The scanning success depends on the quality, size of the bar code, and the scan distance and angle of
the scanner.
Do not stare into laser aperture.
Manually Entering Data
The NetVision Data Phone performs data entry best using the scanner.
However, you can enter alphanumeric characters using the keypad. To
enter alphanumeric characters, press and hold FCT, then press a key-
pad key to display a list of characters associated with that key.

complete line of Symbol products. Some of the labels shown, and statements applicable to other devices might not apply to all products.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commissions Rules and Regulation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
