Exit without Save Restore Factory Defaults "Restore Factory Defaults" is a special barcode. The TMCT-10 Barcode Scanner will respond with a short beep (high tone) after reading this barcode.
Enter Setup Output Software Version Checking the software version is done at the enter setup mode, so after output the software version, need to read ‘Exit without Save’ barcode. Exit without Save Save Custom Settings 1. You may change factory defaults, and customize some functions suitable for your own applications when you use TMCT-10, you must read the ‘Enter Setup – Function barcode you want to customize – Save Custom Settings – Exit with Save’ barcodes.
Chapter 1 Features and Basic Setups This chapter will introduce the features and usage of the barcode scanner. Contents 1.1 Battery ................................................................................................................................13 1.1.1 Mounting the battery（charging） .........................................................................13 1.1.2 How to operate TMCT-10 Barcode Scanner ..........................................................13 1.1.3 Auto Power Off ........
1.1 Battery The scanner is powered by 1500mAh chargeable Lithium batteries. The batteries can support the scanner work continuous for 60 hours, or read 56000 barcodes (read an EAN-13 barcode per 5s). 1.1.1 Mounting the battery (charging) 1) Hold the scanner face down in one hand. 2）Insert USB cable for charging. 1.1.2 How to operate TMCT-10 Barcode Scanner Turn on the scanner Press the Power key for about 2 seconds. The scanner will respond with a long beep (high tone), and its LED indicator is flashing.
1.1.3 Auto Power Off In order to conserve battery power, the user can specify the time interval for the scanner to automatically turn off. By default, it is set to 10 minutes. Enter Auto Power Off 5min （*）10min 20min 30min Exit Auto Power Off For example: Set 20 minutes for the scanner to automatically turn off. 1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode; 2. Read the "Enter Auto Power Off" barcode; 3. Read the "20min" barcode; 4. Read the "Exit with Save" barcode.
1.2 Transmit Buffer During the Bluetooth connection, the TMCT-10 Scanner uses a 16KB memory as a data buffer, and sends the collected data to the host computer one by one via the Bluetooth. Upon reading a barcode successfully, the scanner responds with one short beep and its LED indicator becomes green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range.
1.2.1 Inventory Mode If you want to keep the barcodes in the buffer of TMCT-10 for multiple uploading, you can choose inventory mode. In inventory mode, TMCT-10 will count the number of the barcodes automatically, and control the time, position etc. for uploading. Also, you can clear the barcodes in the buffer after uploading.
1.3 LED Indicator The LED indicators on TMCT-10 can help the user know about the current operation status.
1.4 Beeper The beeper built in TMCT-10 can help the user know about the current operation status. Beeping Meaning Power on. If the scanner has no BT address which could One long beep, high tone connect with, flashing red. If the scanner has BT address which could connect with, flashing blue.

1.5 Scan Modes Four kinds of scan modes are supported by the TMCT-10 Barcode Scanner: 1.5.1 Manual Mode By default, the scan mode is set to Manual Mode. If the user keeps press the Scan Key, the TMCT-10 Scanner will emit a red light line. This indicates the scanner could scan, the scanning will not stop until the scanner under the following situation. * Read a barcode successfully; * Release the Scan Key.
1.5.2 Continuous Mode When you active the “Continuous Mode”, you don’t need to trigger the “Scan Key”. After a successful decoding, the removal of barcode is required. It is not allowed to proceed to decode until the decoding delay time has passed. To decode the same barcode repeatedly, move away the barcode and put it back again and again for scanning. Continuous Mode Set the time interval between each decoding for Continuous Mode.
1.5.
Delay Between Re-Read The delay time between re-read of above scan modes could be set by the following barcode. 400ms 800ms 1s （*）2s 3s 5s 10s 15s For Example: 1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode; 2.
