Handling the BHT ? The BHT uses a laser light for indicating the scanning range. The intensity of the laser light might be too low to inflict bodily injury. However, do not look into the laser beam or view directly with optical instruments.
Page 8
Handling the rechargeable cartridge ? Never charge a wet or damp rechargeable battery cartridge. Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn. Handling the BHT ? If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull out the battery cartridge, and contact your nearest dealer.

Operating the Touch Screen You can perform tasks by tapping the elements on the touch screen LCD with the stylus that comes with the BHT. Action Description Refers to touching the LCD once. (Functionally equivalent to "click" with a mouse on a PC. Double-tap Refers to quickly touching the LCD twice.
Reading Bar Codes Turn the BHT on, bring the bar-code reading window to the bar code to be scanned, and press the trigger switch. Pressing the trigger switch halfway emits a laser light to indicate the scanning range and pressing it fully turns on the illumination LED to scan the bar code.
Page 16
? If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other factors, change the scanning angle of the reading window or the distance from codes as shown at right, and try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the light from the bar code becomes excessively strong.
® Using Radio Link and Bluetooth Wireless Communication Link The BHT-400BB- CE/400BWB- CE supports spread spectrum communication. • If there are too many communications errors, first make sure that the BHT-400BB- CE/400BWB- CE points directly at an access point because the 2.4-GHz band requires a more or less straight line path.
Using Infrared Link ?? CU- 400 Make sure that the BHT is securely in the CU-400. Shield the IrDA interface from direct sunlight, ambient intense lighting (inverter-driven fluorescent lighting, in particular), and other potential sources of infrared radiation. Sourc es to watch out for include remote control units for television sets and the like.
Loading the Battery Cartridge Before the first use of the BHT, be sure to load the battery cartridge as shown below. The battery cartridge is not loaded in the BHT when shipped from the factory. (1) Turn the BHT upside down. (2) Slide the release buttons in the direction shown below and remove the battery cartridge cover.
Page 20
• The BHT integrates a rechargeable backup power source which backs up the memory and calendar clock in the BHT when no battery cartridge is loaded or the voltage level of the battery cartridge drops below the specified level. The backup power source is automatically charged by the battery cartridge.
Calibrating the Touch Screen At the first use of the BHT, you need to calibrate the touch screen and set up the calendar clock. Press the power key to turn on the BHT. The calibration screen appears, so follow the on-screen instructions. If nothing appears, first perform a "cold boot"...
BHT Turning-off Notes If you press the power key to turn off the BHT, the BHT displays the following message and starts preparation for shutdown. When the above message is displayed, do not remove the battery cartridge. If you do so, the data stored in the BHT may be lost.
• Use only DENSO WAVE-authorized battery cartridges and chargers. • Never dispose of battery cartridges into a fire. They should be recycled properly. Do not throw them in a trash.
Warm and Cold Booting ?? Warm-booting the BHT In any of the following cases, warm-boot the BHT: • The BHT makes no response to entry from the touch screen or keys. • The programs in the BHT malfunction due to any problems. Warm-booting the BHT will not erase data stored in the RAM, but it will erase data being edited and not be saved.
Page 25
?? Cold-booting the BHT If a problem persists even after warm-booting the BHT, cold-boot the BHT. Cold-booting the BHT will erase all data stored in the RAM. It is recommended that important data b e saved into the FLASH folder or uploaded to the host computer.
About Status Indicators Battery voltage level Shows the current battery voltage level. Displays when the voltage level is high. Displays when the voltage level is low. The displayed battery level shows the terminal voltage of the battery cartridge, not how much power is left. The battery voltage level varies depending upon the operation of the BHT, so the displayed level also may vary.

ActiveSync Displays when the BHT is communicating with the PC via Microsoft ActiveSync. Alphabet input state Displays when the alphabet input function is activated. (Pressing the ALP key switches between the numeric entry and alphabet entry modes.) The ALP window appears when the alphabet input function is activated. Pressing any numeric key displays the alphabet letter assigned to that key in this ALP window.
Setting the Backlight Pressing the right-hand trigger switch (M4 key) with the SF key held down activates or deactivates the backlight function. Backlight Off or Dim (The backlight function is Disable when you turn the BHT power on.) Press the right-hand trigger switch while holding down SF.

Error Messages If some error occurs when the power is turned on or during program execution, one of the following error messages will appear on the LCD. System Program error ? Problem A System Program error has occurred. ? Solution Contact your system administrator.
Page 35
Shutdown due to low battery ? Problem When the power is turned on or off or during execution of programs, the battery output level has lowered to the extent the BHT can no longer operate. If lower battery is detected, the BHT beeps five times (for 0.1 second per beep) and then turns itself off.
Proper Care of the BHT Wipe the BHT's charge terminals and battery cartridge terminals with a cotton swab or the like periodically. Clean the BHT housing with a dry, soft cloth. Before cleaning, be sure to turn the BHT off. ? Never use benzene, alcohol, or other organic solvents.
Handling Notes ? An early upload of gathered data is recommended, since the data stored in the RAM might be affected by the so-called "soft error" or other environmental phenomena. ? Do not use the BHT in the vicinity of radio equipment. The BHT may malfunction. ? Avoid storing the battery cartridge in a hot place.
