668XX SeriesCharging the NiCd BatteryTo charge the NiCd battery in the 68XX, use one of the cradles listed in Required Accessories on page 3.Caution: Use only Symbol battery 21-32801-01, 21-325217-01, or 21-35241-01 in this terminal.Note: The 68XX has a built-in safeguard to ensure that an alkaline battery is not recharged when the 68XX is placed in a cradle.1. Seat the 68XX in the cradle against the charging contacts. 2. The 68XX’s Status LED lights solid green when the unit is placed in the cradle. The cradle’s CHARGING LED flashes when charging a discharged battery and remains steady when trickle-charging a charged battery. Refer to the Quick Refer-ence Guide for your cradle for more information.3. Leave the 68XX in the cradle up to 7 hours to recharge a fully discharged battery. The 38/6860 and 38/6865 cradles provide slots for charging spare battery packs outside the 68XX. To charge a spare NiCd battery in a cradle, insert the battery pack in the spare battery slot. The LED indicator lamp under the slot where the pack is placed lights to indicate the battery is charging. A blinking LED indicates 6865 68666860
7Quick Referencea fast charge; a solid LED means slow charge/ready. Spare battery packs are recharged in 7 hours. To charge the NiCd battery in a UBC charger:1. Remove battery pack from 68XX as described in Removing the NiCd Battery Pack on page 5.2. Insert the pack in a UBC adapter.3. Insert the adapter in the UBC charger.

868XX SeriesOperating the 68XXPowering the 68XX On/OffPower the 68XX on by:• squeezing the scan trigger,• or pressing the PWR key.Note: The battery must be installed, or the 68XX must be in a cradle to power the terminal on.To suspend the 68XX’s operation, press the PWR key. Adjusting the ContrastThe 68XX’s display contrast can be set to 8 levels. To adjust the contrast:• Press FUNC then X to increase the contrast• Press FUNC then Y to decrease the contrast.Tu r n i n g B a c k l i g h t O n / O f fThe 68XX has a backlight to illuminate the display for operating in dim light. To turn the backlight on or off, press FUNC then L (Lamp).The backlight turns off automatically in approximately 15 seconds or when the 68XX is powered off.
9Quick ReferenceUsing the KeyboardThe 68XX uses a 46-key alphanumeric keyboard that produces the 26-character alphabet (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and assorted characters (+, -, X, ÷, =, •). The keypad is color-coded to indicate which modifier key to press to produce a particular character or action.• The Alpha keys marked in white produce the upper-case characters A to Z.• The default numeric keypad produces the numbers 0-9.• Press FUNC and the corresponding numeric key to produce function keys F1 to F10. • Press the cursor keys to scroll up and down the screen.• Press FUNC, then to scroll left and FUNC then to scroll right.• Press BKSP to erase information entered on the display, one character at a time.• Press FUNC then BKSP (SPACE) to enter a blank space.• Press CLR to partially or completely escape from an applica-tion level or screen. CLR also erases all entered data from the screen.•Press SHF to access the shifted keyboard.•CTL performs the control function and is under application control.•Press ENTER to place entered data into the 68XX’s memory.

11Quick ReferenceUsing the Integrated Laser ScannerTo scan:1. Press the scanner trigger to power the 68XX and scanner on. The Scan LED turns red if scanning is enabled and the laser is on.2. Point the 68XX at the bar code and press the trigger.3. Ensure that the scan beam crosses all bars and spaces on the bar code symbol, as shown below:Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols, and closer for symbols with bars that are close together.Long-range versions support a two-level scan trigger. The first, narrow beam is for aiming, and the second beam decodes the label.4. The LED turns from red to green for successful decodes. The 68XX may also beep.Right Wrong
1268XX SeriesAiming: Hold at an AngleDo not hold the 6800’s scan window directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scan window from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”.You can tilt the 6800 up to 55° forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
13Quick ReferenceRunning CommunicationsCommunicating with a Host The 68XX communicates with a host through the CCM 38/6860, CRD 38/6865, CRD 38/6866, or PC Adapter. For information on setting up the CCM, cradles, or PC Adapter, refer to the 68XX Product Reference Guide or the Quick Reference Guide provided with each unit. To communicate with a host: 1. Set up the cradle(s) or PC Adapter as described in 68XX Product Reference Guide or QRG for the device.2. Place the 6800’s base in the cradle. Press the top of the 68XX against the cradle back until it is firmly seated.The Status LED lights solid green when the 68XX is securely placed in the cradle.3. Start the communications program on the host and the 68XX.Caution: Do NOT remove the 68XX while the cradle’s red COMM LED is blinking.
1468XX SeriesCommunicating with a PrinterThe 68XX communicates with a printer through the printer interface module (PIM). To connect the 68XX to the printer:1. Attach the PIM’s optical connector to the 68XX’s port by in-serting the clips on the connector in the slots on either side of the port.2. Plug the PIM’s DB-9 connector in the printer’s port. 3. Power the printer and 68XX on. Communicating in a RF NetworkThe PDT 6810 operates in a Symbol Spectrum One RF network; the PDT 684X operates in a Symbol Spectrum24 RF network. The Status LED indicates the state of the terminal’s connection to the RF network:Refer to the documentation for the Spectrum One or Spectrum24 network for more information on operating the PDT 68XX in that RF environment. Off indicates that the radio is working and associated with an access point (Spectrum24) or base station (Spectrum One).Status LED indication of RF operation presently not available.Flashes red once per secondto indicate that the radio is out of range or not associated with an access point or base station.Status LED indication of RF operation presently not available.PIMOptical Connector Clips68XX’s Optical PortSlots
