1. Preface The 8300 series are rugged, versatile, high performance data terminals designed for all-day, everyday use. It is powered by a Li-ion rechargeable battery with working time longer than 100 hours. It is supported by a rich set of development tools, including a Windows-based application generator, “C”...
2. General Features and Characteristics Basic characteristics of the 8300 Series Terminal are listed below, 2.1 Electrical Ÿ Operation battery: 3.7V Li-ion rechargeable battery, 700mAH. Ÿ Backup battery: 3.0V, 7mAH rechargeable Lithium battery for SRAM & calendar Ÿ Working time: over 100 hours for 8300 (batch model); over 20 hours for 8310 (433MHz RF model) and 8 hours for 8350 (2.4GHz RF model) 2.2 Environmental Ÿ...
Ÿ Type: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Transceiver Ÿ Frequency Control: Direct FM Ÿ Data Rate: 19200 bps Ÿ Programmable Channels: Ÿ Coverage: 1000M line-of-sight Ÿ Maximum Output Power: 100mW Ÿ Maximum Terminals / Base: Ÿ Maximum Terminals / System: Ÿ Compliance: CE and FCC RF Base (3510 / 3550)
3. RF System Configuration 3.1 IDs and Groups An ID to a terminal / base is just like a name to a person. Each terminal / base in the same RF system should have a unique ID. If the IDs are duplicated, the system may not work properly. So before running your RF system, please make sure that every terminal / base has a unique ID.
3.3 RF Bases The connection from the host computer to the base is RS-232, while the connection between bases is RS-485. Up to 16 bases can be connected together in one RF system. If two or more bases are connected together, the one connected to the host computer should be set to master mode, and the others in slave mode.
4. Software Architecture The 8300 Series Terminal system software consists of three modules: the kernel & Application Manager module, the System module and the Application module. 4.1 Kernel & Application Manager The kernel is the innermost core of the system. It has the highest security and is always protected by the system.
terminal to be cloned without going through a PC. 4.2 System The system module provides the following services: Ÿ Information The system information includes hardware version, serial number, manufacturing date, kernel version, C library or BASIC run-time version, application program version and hardware configurations.

5. Operations Batteries must be fresh and properly loaded before start operation. 5.1 Keypad operations The 8300 Series Terminals have two keyboard layouts: 24 rubber keys and 39 rubber keys. The functions of some special keys are as follows: SCAN Scan a barcode.
5.3 System mode To enter the system menu, you need to press the 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously upon power up the terminal. For details of the services provided by the system, please refer to section 4.2. 5.4 Kernel mode To enter the kernel menu, you need to press 7, 9 and POWER keys simultaneously to enter the system menu first, then power off the unit and press 1, 7 and POWER key simultaneously.
6. Troubleshooting Does not power up after pressing POWER key. Ø Make sure the battery is loaded. Ø Charge the battery and check the charging status. If no charging information shown on the display, reload the battery and check if the battery is properly installed then try again. Ø...
