Laser Information
The Unitech HT680 series is certified in the U.S. to conform to the
requirements of DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of
IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous.
The HT680 series contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose
emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above
regulations. The scanner is designed so that there is no human access to
harmful laser light during normal operation, user maintenance or during
prescribed service operations.
The laser safety warning label required by the DHHS/IEC for the HT680 series'
optional laser scanner module is located on the memory compartment cover,
on the back of the unit.
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light.
Use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye
hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, and
magnifying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the
user.
Battery Notices
The HT680 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack and backup battery.
Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used.
When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to
fully charge the main battery and backup battery. Recharge the HT680 through
the following:
1. Plug the USB charging cable to the HT680 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC
adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable.
2. Place the HT680 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC
adapter to the power jack of the docking station.
iv
If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM
is safe for up to 6 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the HT680
uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. See First
Time to Charge the Main Battery & Backup Battery on page 9 for more details.
Note: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500
charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It
is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the
maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be
used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe
battery disposal procedures.
If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion battery,
the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and
ensure the battery is disposed of properly.
The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and
how the device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:
Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the
battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than
a deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not
cause harm because there is no memory.
Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage,
keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an
extended period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the
battery will be at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.
Battery charge notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever the
Lithium-Ion battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room
temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are
charged within the stated range of 10°C to 45°C. Charging batteries outside of
the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life
cycle.
CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will
increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the
batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature
detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging
temperature range. Further, to protect and avoid battery from
inflating, the battery is detected for thermal protection and will not
be charged when the temperature of battery is over 50 degrees.
Storage and safety notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months,
their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this
happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be
stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may deplete
more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store
batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
Warranty
The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from
defects during normal use:
HT680 – 1-year limited warranty.
Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty.
Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used,
dam-aged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or
replaced by the user.
Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit
and will void the warranty.

Power system
Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
The HT680's batteries can be charged via the USB or serial communication
cable, or via the optional docking station - both using the included AC adaptor.
Please charge the battery for at least 4 hours per session to ensure a full
charge. Please note that the first time charge should be for at least 16 hours
(see the description below).
Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the
First Time
Note: When first charging the HT680, please allow at least 16 hours to fully
charge both the main and backup batteries. When the HT680 arrives
from the factory the backup battery switch is in the OFF position in order
to protect the backup battery. Before first charging the HT680, make
sure the backup battery switch is moved to the ON position. The backup
battery switch can be found inside the main battery compartment. Data
loss can occur if the backup battery is not adequately charged therefore it is imperative to ensure that the backup battery switch is in
the ON position before charging for the first time.
Note: A properly charged backup battery can store data for up to 72 hours
without power from the main battery. This is not recommended. Please
make sure an adequately charged main battery or AC power is
presented and try not to rely on the backup battery for other than
unusual or emergency situations. To prevent data loss due to backup
battery failure (always a slim possibility), please minimize the amount of
time that the backup battery has to operate without the main battery
pack installed or while disconnected from AC power.
17
Environment Consideration for Charging
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are
charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal
room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries
within the stated range of -5°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the
specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life
cycle.
Power Status Indication
When the "Main Batteries Very Low" icon
appears, charging the main battery pack as
soon as possible is highly recommended in
order to avoid system shutdown at an
awkward moment.
“Backup Battery Low” Icon
When the "Backup Battery Low" icon appears it indicates that the backup
battery is low and needs to be charged.
18
Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
Automatic shutdown of the HT680
The HT680 will enter idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting
for input. In default setting, the HT680 will automatically turn itself off if it
remains idle for 3 minutes and when there is no external charging power
applied. Pressing the power button will return the HT680 to the same point at
the time of automatic shutdown.
Note
Suggestion 1: Turn off wireless mode if you are
not using it. This will conserve
battery power.
Suggestion 2: Disable the I/O card if Internet
access is not required.
Storage and Safety Precautions
Batteries should be stored in an open environment and placed where there is
no risk of accidental shorting or other damage. Although charged Li-Ion
batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be reduced
due to back up and internal resistance. If this happens they will require
recharging prior to use. Li-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures
between -4°F and 158°F (-20°C to 70°C).

Data Communication
Introduction
The Unitech HT 660 allows users to link to a host computer via RS-232 / USB,
Bluetooth, or Wireless connection for data communication.
This chapter provides an overview of the communication of the HT680. The
following subchapters cover these topics:
“Series or USB or Modem” communication via cable or docking station
“RF Communication” for details about wireless communication between the
HT680 and host computers
"Microsoft ActiveSync” for details about serial communication via USB port
Connecting
Serial or USB Cable
Plug the USB end of the HT680 communication
cable into your PC's USB port, and the other
end into the HT680's communication port. To
simultaneously charge the HT680, plug the AC
power adaptor into the power receptacle on the
USB plug.
23
Docking Station
USB Cradle
For data transmission, plug one end of your
HT680's USB communication cable into your
PC's USB Port and the other end into the
HT680 Docking Station's USB port. To
simultaneously charge the HT680, plug the AC
power adaptor into the power receptacle on
the Docking Station.
RF Communication
Windows CE can support TCP/IP protocol and
the user can link to the Internet via the settings
under “ Network and Dial-up Connections”.
In the Network and Dial-up Connections, go to
PRISM1 to set up the IP to connect to internet.
Using ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize and transfer information
between your desktop computer and terminal. The most current version of
ActiveSync can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com.
Additional Capabilities
With ActiveSync, you can also:
Back up and restore your device data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop
computer.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.
For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your
desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
24
Before beginning installation, carefully read the following:
Because you will be restarting your computer during installation, save your
work and quit all programs before you begin.
To set up your communication settings, the HT680 serial cable is required
to connect the HT680 to your host computer.
If you run the Windows NT® operating system with a service pack, you will
be informed during setup that you may need to reinstall the service pack.
Try connecting first, and if unsuccessful, reinstall the latest service pack.
Requirements
To synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be installed on both
your desktop computer and the HT680 terminal. The HT680 terminal is
installed with ActiveSync and shipped. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync
3.7 on your desktop computer.
To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, please link to Microsoft
website to get free download driver.
Installation
Follow the installation procedure below to install Microsoft ActiveSync, connect
your HT680 to your desktop computer, and establish a partnership for
synchronization, if required.
25
Download the executable program “msasync.
exe” from the Microsoft web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/
downloads/activesync35.asp. Execute this
program.
Select the folder into which Microsoft
ActiveSync will be installed. If you choose not
to download into the displayed default folder,
click the Change button.
After you’ve selected the folder, click Next to
set up Microsoft ActiveSync. After you’ve
installed Microsoft ActiveSync and restarted
your computer, you’ll see the screen:
Using the USB, plug the PA966 into a
communication port on your desktop
computer.
Turn the HT680 on. Click the Next button.
Microsoft ActiveSync should recognize your HT680 and configure your
communication port. If a message appears indicating that it is unable to detect
a connection, click the Cancel button and manually configure the
communication settings.
When the HT680 is initially connected to a PC,
the following screen appears prompting you to
set up a “Partnership”. Setting up a
Partnership is required if your HT680 is to be
synchronized with other computers and/or
terminals. Otherwise select No.
26
Now select synchronization settings. Currently
the HT680 can support “Synchronized Files”.
Different HT680 cannot share the same
Device Name if more than one terminal is to be
connected to the same PC via a “Partnership”.
The default Device Name assigned to the
HT680 is “WinCE”. It is important to specify a
different name for each terminal if more than
one terminal is to be connected to the same
PC. When ActiveSync displays the following
screen, assign each terminal its own unique
name.
Click the Next button and follow the instructions to set up a partnership
between the HT680 and your desktop computer. This partnership allows you to
synchronize information between the two computers.
When the configuration process is complete,
you’ll see the screen.
Synchronization will be initialized and will take place if you’ve chosen to
synchronize periodically or upon connection.
Note: Your desktop computer can create a partnership with multiple HT680.
Also, The HT680 can create a partnership with up to two desktop
computers.
27
Using the Mobile Devices Window
Start Microsoft ActiveSync by clicking the
Microsoft ActiveSync shortcut on your desktop
and then clicking the “Explore” icon.
In the displayed window, you can:
Select your HT680 to use Microsoft
ActiveSync features such as changing
synchronization options, as described in the
“Synchronization” section.
Open the Explorer window by double
Clicking your device icon in the Mobile
Devices window.
Use this window, which is the root window to
the HT680, to copy and move files between
the HT680 and your desktop computer, as
described in the “Synchronization” section.
Changing Communications Settings
If Microsoft ActiveSync fails to detect the HT680 during installation, set up
communications manually instead. Make sure the following conditions are met:
Verify that the correct communications port is selected for your desktop
computer and that it is free.
Microsoft ActiveSync uses the specified communication ports to connect to
the HT680. Make sure these resources are available for Microsoft
ActiveSync to connect to the HT680. Other programs cannot use them
while the HT680 and your desktop computer are connected.
28
Set your baud rate on the HT680 - the desktop computer will match it.
To check communications settings, open the
Mobile Devices folder, and click File /
Connection Settings. The connection on the
HT680 is set to USB connection by default. To
adjust the connection, tap Start, Settings,
Control Panel, select the Communication

Useful Utilities
Introduction
Unitech has been developing some of useful utilities for user’s application. The
followings are Unitech Utilities introduction.
Scanner Setting
When it is necessary for the user to change the
default barcode symbology for a different application,
Scanner Control Panel provides the setting function
to change default symbology, place delimiter
characters behind scanned data, and save the
settings. Run this program from \Start\Setting\Control
Panel\Scanner Setting.exe and Scanner Control
Panel will be displayed.
Scan2Key
The Scan2Key application can route input from the
scanner port to the keyboard buffer, with the result
that all scanned data will be treated as if they were
input from the keypad. With this router, scanned
data can be directly input into generic applications
like MS Pocket Word. Scan2Key can be found at:
\Start\Setting\Control Panel\Scanner Setting\ To kpd.
33
Registry Backup/Restore
The Registry Backup program stores the HT680's
registry settings for the user to access. If a cold boot
should be required, or the user otherwise wants to
return the registry to a previous state, the user can
retrieve an earlier setting from Registry Backup.
Registry Restore allows the user to restore the
HT680s registry to a previously saved version.
