The green scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.Scanning PDF417 (2-D) Bar CodesTo scan a PDF417 bar code (with a 2-D configured terminal):1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press either the right, left, or center scan trigger.2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the rows of the symbol.3. Manually raster the scan line by slowly moving the scanner up and down so it scans the entire bar code at a rate of one inch per second.Center Scan Button1/2” 1/2”Scan Line
15Quick ReferenceA clicking noise lets you know the 2-D bar code is being decoded. If there is no clicking noise when you are scanning, the bar code is not being scanned properly.When decoding a very long 2-D bar code, you may notice a slight delay between the time when the terminal completes the decode and the time when the data is displayed on the screen. The first beep you hear indicates a successful decode. The second beep you hear indicates the data has been received by the host. Do not attempt to decode another bar code until you hear the second beep and see the green LED indicating a successful decode.To improve PDF decoding:•Check that PDF417 scanning is enabled.•Make sure the scan line extends at least 1/2” past the left and right edges of the bar code.•Hold the scanner closer for denser symbols, farther away for larger symbols.•Make sure you scan the top and bottom rows of the symbol.•Be patient - it may take a few swipes to decode the symbol.The bar code is completely decoded when you hear a tone, followed by a short, high tone beep. The green LED stays lit for three seconds or until the next trigger pull.Initiating a Network ConnectionBefore using the terminal, set up the Spectrum24, CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) network connection.

GSM Regulatory WarningsEmergency CallsPlease contact your service provider for information about the availability of Emergency Calls.The GSM version supports Emergency Calls with or without a SIM card fitted. However, as for any other voice call, you must be registered on a GSM network. If you are outside the coverage of a GSM network, or another factor such as insufficient power occurs, then Emergency Call will not work.The procedure for generating an Emergency Call will depend on the application/ service currently in use and the network you are connected to. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the appropriate procedures required to generate an Emergency Call.When connected to the Emergency Operator you should have details of your telephone number and location on hand.Safety InformationThe GSM version emits radio frequency signals in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz frequency bands. The following recommendations are in line with guidelines concerning public exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy, issued by various European and International agencies.Unlike a mobile phone, the transmitter antenna on the GSM version would not (under normal circumstances) be close to the head, and therefore high field strength is not usually encountered. The use of the GSM version is similar to using a mobile phone with a handsfree unit. However, take care to avoid placing any part of your body in proximity to the GSM version antenna when the GSM radio is switched on. In
23Quick Referenceparticular, it is recommended that you do not grasp the antenna while the GSM version is operating as this will not only significantly degrade its performance, but also expose your hand to the maximum radio frequency power emitted by the GSM version.Safety on the RoadThe GSM version should not be used by the driver of a vehicle when in motion. Always safely park your vehicle before turning your attention to your device. Always adequately secure your device in a moving vehicle, and do not leave it loose on a passenger seat. Remember that in the event of a sudden stop an unsecured device could cause injury to any occupants as well as damage to the vehicle. If your vehicle has an airbag, do not place any objects, including your device, in the area around the airbag or where the airbag deploys. Any item propelled by an activated airbag could cause serious injury and damage. When receiving calls on a public highway, mobile units are not permitted to use “warning” devices, which permit the vehicles' horn to sound or the light to flash. Safety on AircraftYou are required by law to switch off all electrical apparatus when boarding and leaving an aircraft and at any other time when instructed to do so by a member of the crew. You are not allowed to use any mobile phone, as well as the GSM version, at any time when on board an aircraft, as such use may constitute a danger. In such circumstances please ensure that your GSM version is switched off, disabling attempts to log onto networks. PacemakersIt is recommended by pacemaker manufacturers that a minimum of 20cm (8 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid any possible interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.Persons with pacemakers:•Should always keep the phone more than 20cm (8 inches) from their pace-maker when the phone is turned on.•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for inter-ference.
24SPT 1800 SeriesIf you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the GSM version immediately. This may be achieved most rapidly by switching off the device using its on/off button.Other Medical DevicesThe GSM version transmits radio frequency energy and as such has the potential to interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult your physician or the manufacturer of the device to see if any particular device has sufficient protection.It is good practice to completely turn off the GSM version within a hospital or other medical facility where sensitive medical equipment is in use. In some countries, this is a legal requirement applying to all mobile phones and related equipment. Effect on VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesSwitch off the GSM version in any facility where posted notices require mobile phones to be switched off.Potentially Hazardous AtmospheresDo not take a GSM version into any area with a potentially hazardous atmosphere. The GSM version is not rated for use in such environments and therefore such use may pose a threat of explosion. Such areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They may include below decks on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities; fuel filling stations; areas where fuel odors are present such as in a tent or caravan where cooking or heating by bottled gas is taking place; fuel transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquid petroleum gas (lpg); areas where the air contains concentrations of grain, dust or metal powders; and any area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.Blasting AreasTo avoid interference with any blasting operations, turn off your GSM version when in a blasting area and other areas where the use of radio equipment is prohibited. Obey all signs and instructions.Laser DevicesSymbol products using lasers comply with US 21CFR1040.10, and IEC825-1:1993, EN60825-1:1994+A11:1996.
