Symbol Technologies PTC-860IM Scanner User Manual


 
CAUTION! Do not use a bar-code reader with a PTC-860NI
in a hazardous location. Accessories are approved for use
with the PTC-860NI only in non-hazardous locations.
The bar-code reader lets you enter data into your PTC by
passing the reader across bar-code labels (scanning). Your
PTC’s data collection program determines the types of bar-code
labels you can read.
Battery charger
The battery charger is used to recharge the nickel-cadmium
battery pack in the PTC. The charger for the PTC-860 has a
25-pin connector.
CAUTION! Do not charge a PTC-860NI’s battery pack in a
hazardous location. Accessories are approved for use with
the PTC-860NI only in non-hazardous locations.
Battery compartment
The PTC-860 and PTC-860ES come from the factory with an
AFAT nickel-cadmium battery pack or four AA alkaline
batteries in a plastic battery case. The PTC-860NI comes with
the AFAT nickel-cadmium battery pack.
The battery pack charges in 14 hours.
When the battery pack or alkaline batteries are weak but not
weak enough to stop the PTC from operating, a low-battery
message displays, the PTC’s beeper sounds a warning beep,
and the red low-battery light comes on.
Note: When the PTC’s battery pack or alkaline batteries
become too weak to operate the PTC, the unit automatically
shuts off. In this event, charge the battery pack or replace the
alkaline batteries immediately.
CAUTION! Do not store a PTC-860 for over two months
without charging the battery pack or replacing the alkaline
batteries. Otherwise, your data and programs will be lost.
