To guarantee optimal performance, it is recommended that rechargeable batteries be replaced every year, or after 500 charging cycles are completed. It is normal for the battery to balloon or expand after one year or 500 cycles. Although it does not cause damage, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures. 2. If a battery performance decreases more than 20%, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Stop use and ensure the battery is disposed of properly. 3. The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following:  Avoid fully uncharging the battery because this places additional strain on it. Several partial uncharges with frequent charges are better than a fully uncharged battery. Charging a partially charged battery does not cause harm to the unit.  Keep the battery cool. Avoid hot vehicles. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.  Do not leave the battery uncharged and unused for an extended period of time, the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of one with frequent charges. 4. Protect battery life by not over or under charging the battery. 5. Please do not leave battery unused for long time without charging it. Despite unitech’s safety precautions, the battery pack may begin to change shape. If so, stop using it immediately. Please check to see if you are using a proper power adapter to charge the battery or contact your service provider for service. 6. If you cannot charge the battery after it has been idle for an extended period of time and it begins to heat up, please do not try to charge it. It may not be functional anymore. 7. Please only use the original battery from unitech. Using a third party battery can damage our products. Please note that when such damage occurs, it is not covered by your warranty.

This sets the LED illumination for the scan engine when the trigger is pressed. Default = High. Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera.

MS842RB User’s Manual 4.6.2.2 Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scan engine's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1. Sensitivity 4.6.2.3 Centering Use Centering to narrow the scan engine’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scan engine. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scan engine only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering Window and Bottom of Centering Window bar codes.

For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering.If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes. In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through he centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read. Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering window.

Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”. Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter. Note: To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0. To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1. To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C. To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself. Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart. Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character. Step 7. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology. Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies : Step 1. Scan Add Suffix. Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart to apply this suffix to all symbologies. Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252). Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None. Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands) within the format program to output data. Multiple formats may be programmed into the scan engine. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied: 1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length 2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length 3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length 4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length 5.

Key strokes are dependent on your keyboard. Any key can be inserted, including arrows and functions. Syntax = B5xxssnn where xx is the number of keys pressed (without key modifiers), ss is the key modifier from the table below, and nn is the key number. For example, B501021F inserts an “A” on a 104 key, U.S. style keyboard. B5 = the command, 01 = number of keys pressed (without the key modifier), 02 is the key modifier for Shift Right, and 1F is the “a” key. If a lower case “a” were to be inserted, B501001F would be entered. If there are three keystrokes, the syntax would change from B5xxssnn for one keystroke to B5xxssnnssnnssnn. An example that would insert "abc" is as follows: B503001F00320030F833. Note: Key modifiers can be added together when needed. Example: Control Left+Shift Left = 11.
