Charging the Lithium Ion Battery

The battery automatically charges every time a cable interface is attached to the

reader and the host is powered up.

Note: The RS-232 interface power adapter must be plugged into a wall socket for

the reader to charge.

If you power up the HE40T with a completely discharged battery, it will take up

to 10 minutes before the reader will become operational.

Batch Operation

Note: To utilize batch functionality, you will need to use the BH1 or BH2 battery

handle.

The HE40T features a batch mode for applications requiring a portable reader.

Batch mode allows you to store scanned data to the reader’s non-volatile

memory. You may transfer the data to a host computer when needed.

The HE40T may be programmed to operate in the following batch modes:

• Send & Buffer Mode (Default) — In Send and Buffer Mode, the HE40T

reader will automatically detect when the USB or RS-232 cable is detached

or the Bluetooth

radio is out of range, and will switch into batch mode (see

“Radio Range and Transferring Data” on page 1-22) and buffer the data in

non-volatile memory. When the reader is reconnected to your host computer

or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range, the reader will auto transfer

the buffered data. Once transferred, the data is automatically erased from the

reader’s memory.

Note: Once a reader is re-attached to a cable or enters within radio range, any

data scanned WILL NOT be saved to the non-volatile memory. For

RS-232, the HE40T must be in Batch mode for the data to be stored.

• Log Only Mode — In Log Only Mode, the reader will only store data into

non volatile memory. You can only retrieve the data by scanning the Transfer

All Stored Data in Memory code (see “Transferring and Deleting Data” on
