The battery shall be replaced within 30 s, and the time and date will not be lost provided that the device is restarted. In case that it times out, the time and date set by the device will be lost. 9. Daily maintenance and troubleshooting 9.1 Routine maintenance Store the whole machine in a dry and cool place with a temperature range of 10~40 . Don't contact with corrosive substances, and keep away from fire and heat sources (refer to 10.2 storage requirements for details). Because the lithium battery possesses self-discharge characteristics, provided that the device failed to be used for a long time (not less than 1 month), it is recommended that you take the battery out of the handheld device and store it separately (40% of the battery is most suitable for long-term storage. In the event that the conditions permit, the battery should be charged and discharged every three months). Precautions for battery 1. Don't connect its input terminal directly to the output terminal; 2. Don't put the battery into water or get it wet; 3. Don't use or store batteries near heat sources (such as fire or heaters); 4. Please use the original charger; 5. Don't connect the positive and negative poles reversely; 6. Don't directly connect the battery to the wall socket or vehicle-mounted cigarette lighter socket; 7. Don't throw the battery into the fire or heat the battery; 8. It's forbidden to cause the short circuited positive and negative electrodes of User Manual 30 XC2907-A Portable Reader 9. Daily maintenance and troubleshooting the battery with wires or other metals, avoid transporting or storing the battery with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects; 9. Don't disassemble the battery or cause the battery to short circuit; 10. Don't hit against the battery or hit against the battery with sharp objects. 9.2 Analysis and troubleshooting of common problems In this section, it introduces how to handle common problems or abnormal phenomena in the device provided that the users use the XC2907-A portable reader. What is "restart" and how to implement "restart" operations. "Restart" is the most common system startup mode in the device, namely, the system is forced to be powered off and then restart. By pressing the "RST" button in the lower left corner of the keyboard or long pressing the "red power button," then the system can be restarted. No backlight Please check that whether you have clicked the "Backlight Adjustment" button to the lowest level or not; Please check whether the "red power button" is pressed. No sound Please check if the system volume is adjusted to the minimum. It displayed a black screen in the system and nothing occurs when you click on the screen Whether it is in the standby state, please short press the "red power button," so that the system can be started up; Please check whether the battery is loose. Provided that the power adapter or battery is plugged in, the handset does not start normally (black screen) Blank screen: 1. Check whether the power adapter is not inserted tightly or whether the battery is not installed or contacted appropriately. Perhaps the battery is low and it will take a few minutes before it is displayed. User Manual 31 XC2907-A Portable Reader 9. Daily maintenance and troubleshooting 2. Check whether the PC machine connects to the handset through the USB cable. Provided that there is a connection, please hold on for a few minutes; Maybe the battery level is too low, and the battery needs to be charged for a while before displaying the electricity. Can't read the tag Please confirm that whether the electronic tag is in the effective range of the reader; Please confirm whether the space RF signal interference problem exists. Avoid writing tag Please confirm that whether the electronic tag is in the effective range of the reader; Please confirm whether the data field of electronic tag is locked; Please confirm whether the parameters for instruction writing are configured correctly; Please confirm whether the space RF signal interference problem exists. Why is the distance of written tag closer than the distance of read tag? The RFID technology features decide the energy needed to write tag is far larger than that needed to read tag, so the distance of written tag and the success rate are lower than that of read tag. Why do different tags have large reading difference? Due to the RFID technology features, different tag chips and their package medium cause tags have completely different sensitivity to reader. So the operation distance and success rate are completely different. For the problems that users can't solve voluntarily, please contact Invengo Company to negotiate repair matters. Refer to the after-sales service information for details. 9.3 RF communication optimization Under normal circumstances, the system performance of equipment adopting radio technology for communication is very sensitive to signal interference and attenuation. Some prompts are offered to solve the RF communication optimization problems between XC2907-A portable reader and electronic tag. User Manual 32 XC2907-A Portable Reader 9. Daily maintenance and troubleshooting 9.3.1 Signal interference problem Signal interference refers to the RF signal bringing interference upon the information exchange between portable reader and electronic tag. Signal interference can severely reduce the ability of portable reader in reading electronic tag data information. Interference signal can be from RF system, such as: RF local-area network and adjacent interactive identification system; RF signal radiated by safety door, garage door or other devices; Other RF radiation source. If RF interference or noise exists, the performance of portable reader system (data information exchange with electronic tag) will reduce significantly. Portable reader can only "receive" one signal at any time. It can't distinguish the unexpected "noise" and expected "useful RF signal". 9.3.2 Information attenuation / reflection Information attenuation refers to the natural attenuation of signal strength with the increase of distance, and can refer to the attenuation of signal caused by barrier in transmission path. RF signal transmission obstacles may be caused by: Confined space containing concrete wall, floor and ceiling; Metal surface by centering on antenna or tag; Water or other liquids by centering on antenna or tag; Almost every kind of object (furniture or partition) in RF signal transmission path will cause different degrees of signal attenuation. The RF signal attenuation caused by barrier can be minimized by carefully adjusting the installation location of antenna. The reflection formed on the surface of metal or metallization behind the electronic tag may also influence the signal attenuation. In some cases, such influence could slightly increase the read range, and would also form some dead angles in the reading area. When electronic tag is located at position of those dead angles, the communication between it and portable reader will become very bad. User Manual 33 XC2907-A Portable Reader 9. Daily maintenance and troubleshooting In general condition, it is impossible to accurately predict the performance of portable reader system performance in any given environment due to the complexity of electrical magnetic radiation, including the frequency stability of signal source, directional diagram and sidelobe problem of antenna, ambient environment, etc.). But, some suggestions given below can guide the optimization of system performance in specific environment and application conditions. In consideration of RF characteristics, including the building materials, office hours, configuration condition of window and pipeline, RF field mode and read distance may be influenced by the adjacent metal objects, such as household appliance, equipment, metal framework, etc. Ensure that the objects which are to be recognized and contain electronic tag, remain in the effective reading area of portable reader for no less than 100ms. The length of antenna with the best electronic tag is related to the sealed or embedded nonconductive materials. Basic concept: For the electronic tag embedded in non-conductors (dielectric constant is larger than that in air, causing that the effective wavelength in medium is shorter than the effective wavelength in air), if its effective electrical length is adjusted to the optimum length in air (farthest from the red distance of portable reader), the electrical length of tag antenna shall be adjusted toward the shrinkage direction when electronic tag is put in non-conductor or on substrate in order to reach the best effect equal to that in air. On the contrary, if the effective electrical length of electronic tag antenna is adjusted to the best electrical length in the non-conductor medium, the best electrical length in the air shall be adjusted toward the direction electrical length increase. The exposed and unpackaged electronic tag isn't allowed to contact chemical medicines. Some chemicals, such as ethyl alcohol, would not influence electronic tag at normal temperature, but will corrode electronic tag at high temperature. User Manual 34 XC2907-A Portable Reader 10.
