Performing Communications IR Communication IR communication can be used to transmit data between two Handheld Terminals. When performing IR communication, orient the IR ports of both Handheld Terminals so they are pointing directly at each other. The ports can be in direct contact with each other, or they can be separated by up to 30cm (1113⁄16") (up to 20cm (7 7⁄8") for communication between units). Important! • A high-sensitivity communication element is used during IR communication.
Bluetooth® Communication Bluetooth® interface can also be used to transmit data between two Handheld Terminals. With Bluetooth® the two Handheld Terminals should be located within about 5 meters from each other, as long as there is nothing blocking the path between them. Important! Observe the following precautions to help ensure that Bluetooth communication is successful.
Resetting the Handheld Terminal Resetting the Handheld Terminal is the same as restarting a PC. Performing a reset causes all unsaved inputs and edits to be lost, but data that is already stored in the memory as well as all settings should be unaffected. Use reset to restore normal operation whenever the Handheld Terminal operates abnormally due to misoperation or some other reason. Use a stylus to press the reset switch on the front of the DT-970.
