PowerScan™ BT8300 Reader Using the PowerScan™ BT8300 The PowerScan™ BT8300 family of readers can be used with either the PowerScan BC 8030-BT base station or a Bluetooth-enabled PC to build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar coded data. PowerScan™ BT8300 laser readers automatically scan bar codes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. Scan Line Position Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window.
Using the PowerScan™ BT8300 Aiming System PowerScan™ BT8300 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading performance, see (1) in the figure above. By completely pressing the trigger the scan line appears to start the code scanning, see (2).
Installing the Battery Pack Installing the Battery Pack To install, charge and/or do any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in this manual. To charge the Battery Pack, See “Charging the Batteries” on page 7. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance. WARNING Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner.
Installing the Battery Pack CAUTION Always charge the battery at 32° – 113°F (0° - 45°C) temperature range. Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty. Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Installing the Battery Pack Charging the Batteries Once the BC 8030-BT/C-8000 is powered, you can charge the reader's batteries. Place the PowerScan™ BT8300 into the BC 8030-BT cradle or the C-8000 battery charger. The Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red. The battery is completely charged when the Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns green. Figure 1. Changing the Batteries 1 2 WARNING Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to high temperature.
