  • Page 7: Starting Up

    2.2 Starting up ® The RIDA QUICK SCAN reader is ready to operate as soon as you unpack it. Although the batteries are charged in the factory, they may have discharged if the device has been stored for some time. This is not a defect in the device but is due to the physics of batteries in general.

    When the defined time for calibration test is reached the reader will also ask you to calibrate it. A check is made to ensure that the calibration is still valid before every measurement. If you still wish to carry out the measurement, you can test the calibration of the reader later on. To do this, you must choose the respective option on the display.
  • Page 18 If you choose to enter parameters via barcode in the user interface of the measuring device and if the barcode reader is connected, the activation signal of the barcode reader (triple tone) sounds. The barcode reader is ready to use and can read barcodes. Enter the barcode by pressing the yellow key on the barcode reader.

  • Page 21 Fault: When I switch on the device the date and time are not correct Cause: Date/time were not saved. Help: - Re-enter the date and time in SETUP MODE. Cause: The internal buffer battery is empty. Help: - If this is the case, contact your supplier. The buffer battery may have to be replaced.

    5 Safety and maintenance 5.1 Safety information Use only approved NiMH batteries (see Section 5.4). Do not use any other battery. Other batteries may cause a short circuit. The battery casing could be Note! destroyed (dangerous). When you are replacing batteries insert them into the device with the minus pole first (Figure 13).
  • Page 23: Important Information For Using The Device

    5.2 Important information for using the device ® When you use the RIDA QUICK SCAN pay attention to the following: - Do not place the device in direct sunlight. - Do not subject the device to intense heat. - Protect the device from high humidity, moisture and excessive contact with liquids.
  • Page 24: Replacing The Batteries

    If you operate the device on vibrating objects, this may lead to vibration in the detector unit, which reduces the accuracy of the measured value. If possible, always Note! ® place the RIDA QUICK SCAN on a flat surface or at least hold it still while it is measuring.
  • Page 25 To replace the batteries open the screwed lid of the battery compartment (5). Use a flat object, such as a coin. Pay attention to the poles +/- of the buffer battery (see Figure below). If the batteries are inserted wrongly, the device cannot function.
