Charging to the BHT
Place the BHT upright and gradually incline it backward.
Note: When placing the BHT on the cradle, be careful not to get the strap entangled between the BHT
and the cradle. A specific part of BHT may get warm while charging depending on the operating
environment and condition. This is not a malfunction.
Removing the BHT from the Cradle
Incline the BHT frontward and pull it out.
Notice on the power connection of the charging cradle
As for CU-M80U with the USB interface, both the power adapter and the USB cable can be used.
To charge both BHT and the spare battery, use the power adapter.
When charging with the USB cable, only BHT can be charged. Under the conditions, such as when the
large capacity battery is installed in the BHT or when the BHT is under operation while charging, the
use of the power adapter is recommended because these conditions may result in long-time charging
or a charging error. Using a deteriorated battery may cause a charging error. In this case, replace the
battery with the new one.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Guide
6.1 The BHT power does not turn ON
Make sure that the main-battery is properly inserted into the BHT.
Check the battery power level and charge the battery if necessary.
Wipe any dirt from the main-battery and the BHT terminals.
6.2 The BHT cannot be charged.
Make sure that the dedicated charger is used.
Make sure that the main-battery is properly inserted into the BHT.
Make sure that the BHT has been properly placed in the Cradle.
The BHT status indicator will turn red when properly placed in the Cradle.
Wipe any dirt from the main-battery and BHT terminals.
Replace the main-battery with a new one if it has been charged more than 300 times, or if more
than one year has elapsed in order to avoid any trouble caused by the battery deterioration.
6.3 The BHT unexpectedly turns OFF.
Make sure that the battery has been fully charged. If not, charge the battery.
Check whether auto power off is set. If auto power off is set, the power will be turned off
automatically when the BHT is not used for the set time.
Auto power off setting can be changed only in the user program.
The BHT may be broken if the above measures are not adequate.
Notify the system administrator.
Refer to the User's Manual for appropriate measures if an error message is displayed on the BHT
during the operation.

Chapter 1 Please read me first
Please contact your nearest distributor, if using in other countries.
The latest precision manufacturing technology yields LCD panels with an effective resolution of
99.99% or higher. The downside, however, is that up to 0.01% of the pixels can remain permanently
dark or lit on today's state-of-the-art panels.
Furthermore, please be aware that individual differences may occur in the screen color and brightness
due to the characteristics of the white LEDs used in the LCD display backlight.
The Customer shall not modify, reverse compile, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, and or
otherwise tamper with our BHT's firmware.

The OS starts up and the lock screen is displayed. Swipe the lock screen from bottom to top to display
the home screen.
Note. In order to power on the handy terminal, the battery must be secured in place. When using the
BHT under the low temperature environment such as inside the refrigerated room, power on the BHT
at the ambient temperature and then take it to the low temperature environment. Powering on the BHT
at the low temperature may not start up the BHT successfully. Operating the BHT under the low
temperature environment may result in delayed BHT operation or extremely reduced operating time
due to the battery characteristics. Please verify the operating conditions prior to use.

3.3 Charging the BHT
The main battery may not be fully charged for shipment. Please charge the main battery to full before
using the handy terminal. You may use the Charging Cradle or USB cable to charge the handy
terminal.
3.3.1 Charging Time
Main battery
The main battery powers the handy terminal to work. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge an
empty main battery to full. The status indicator above the screen will light up in red while charging
and will turn green when charging is complete.
Sub-battery
The sub-battery is mounted on the main board and used for retaining data when the battery is
replaced or when it is removed.
When the sub-battery is fully charged, data can be retained for at least five minutes.
It may take approximately ten minutes to fully charge an empty sub-battery after installing the
main one. Do not remove the battery so as to retain data properly.
3.3.2 Charging Temperature
Charging the battery at room temperature (18 °C to 25 °C) is recommended in order to deliver optimal
performance. Please note that battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or
exceeds 40°C. The temperature to stop charging may vary according to the practical operating
environment.
3.3.3 Operation on Battery Power
When 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+/LTE, Bluetooth
v5.1&v2.1+EDR and GPS are all enabled on battery power, the main battery level will drop down
substantially. Prolonged use of the display and continued scanning of barcodes will also affect battery
level.
In order to avoid the unexpected system shutting down when the battery level is low, we suggest that
you keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the BHT to an external power.
Remove the battery from the BHT or the Cradle then store in a cool and dry place if not using the BHT
for an extended period of time.
Storing a fully charged or depleted (unable to turn on the BHT) battery for long periods time may
deteriorate the performance and life of the battery.
For long-term storage, storing the battery at the 50% of the power level is recommended.
During long-term storage, charge the battery cartridge fully once a year in order to maintain the battery
performance. When fully charge, allow the battery to discharge down to the recommended level before
restoring.
The battery may swell over the years depending on usage environment. This is a characteristic of a
lithium-ion battery and is not safety hazard.
3.3.4 Charging Status of the BHT
The Charge status of the BHT is shown on the status indicator above the display screen.
Status indicator Indication Description

1.8 Proper Care of the BHT
Make sure to turn OFF the BHT before cleaning.
Terminal dirt on the BHT and battery
Periodically wipe any dirt from the terminals of the BHT and battery with a cotton swab or similar
soft object. Be sure not to scratch or deform the terminals while cleaning.
Never use organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol, as this may cause terminal plating to be
peeled off.
Housing dirt
Wipe any dirt from the housing with a dry, soft cloth.
If excessively dirty, wipe with a soft cloth that has been soaked in soapy water (always use a
neutral detergent) and wrung out thoroughly.
Never use organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol, as this may cause the housing to be
marred or paint to be peeled off.
LCD screen dirt
Never rub or strike the LCD screen with anything hard, as this may result in scratches on the
screen or breakage.
Code reading window dirt
Any dirt or dust adhering to the clear plate of the code reading window will adversely affect reading
performance.
When using in dusty areas, check regularly whether any dust has accumulated on the clear plate
of the code reading window, and if so, first blow the dust away with an airbrush, and then gently
wipe the plate with a cotton swab or similar soft object.
If sand or hard particles have accumulated, rubbing the plate will result in scratches. Blow the
particles away with an airbrush or wipe with a soft brush.
