Introd uc tion
The Cordless Scanning System consists of the SCANTEAM 2070 Base unit and
at least one SCANTEAM 3470 Cordless CCD or SCANTEAM 5770 Cordless
Laser Scanner. Up to nine scanners may be associated with one base. Each
cordless scanner has a removable, rechargeable battery pack and provides real
time decoding within a 50 foot (15.24 meter)[ radius of the Base unit.
The Cordless System is an economical, durable solution for a wide variety of
portable data collection applications. The Cordless System features:
•
•
a tough, ergonomic thermoplastic housing for comfort and durability.
recognition and decoding of the most popular, industry-standard bar
code symbologies.
•
•
scanner coverage of up to 7854 square feet (730 square meters) in
open air environments.
a wide range of interfaces that are compatible with many POS,
keyboard wedge, and RS-232 terminals.
•
•
visible and audible feedback for confirmation of a successful decode.
a choice of rechargeable batteries designed to operate through a whole
work day.
This Quick Start Guide contains information about the Cordless Scanner to help
you get started: charging the scanner’s battery pack and associating the scanner
to a base. For more detailed information on how to set up, operate, and program
the Cordless System, see the Cordless System Manual (which is shipped with
the Cordless Base unit).

[ A 50 foot radius is obtained under optimal, “open air” conditions. Signals between
the Base and its scanners need a clear path to communicate, free from RF interference.

Ab out the Ba tte ry Pa c k
Power is supplied to the Cordless Scanner by a rechargeable
battery pack that snaps onto the bottom of the scanner. Each
scanner is shipped with a battery pack [. Battery packs are
offered in a choice of a Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) cells,
as an entry level solution, or a premium battery pack
based on Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. (See
Battery Specifications in the Cordless System
Manual for the differences between the two types of
battery packs, as well as storage information.)
[ Order backup battery pack(s) or replacement batteries from your distributor.
North Am e ric a n Cha rg ing Inform a tion
The battery pack is designed to plug into any two prong North American AC
power outlet (110/120 Volt) for direct charging. You need no additional
equipment and you can recharge the pack virtually anywhere.
World wid e Cha rg ing Inform a tion
The battery pack is rated for 110/120 50/60 Hz applications but may be
recharged worldwide using a step down transformer. The step down
transformer, provided with each Cordless Scanner shipped outside North
America, changes typical 240V AC into 120V AC output. All batteries shipped
outside North America are fused to protect against charging at any higher
voltage than 120V AC.
Contact your distributor for more information or to order additional step down
transformers.
Ba tte ry Pa c k Re c om m e nd a tions
•
•
•
•
NiCad batteries are shipped uncharged and need to be fully charged and
discharged two or more times to be fully conditioned.
Charge the battery for 24 hours the first two or more times to fully charge
the battery.
Charge the battery pack immediately before use or at least within a
couple of days of use.
Remove the battery pack from the power outlet after charging is
completed. Avoid extended overcharging; do not leave the battery
charging for more than two days.
•
•
•
Periodically fully discharge the battery pack.
Avoid using the battery pack in extreme temperatures.
Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable
parts in the battery pack.
Prop e r Disp osa l of the Ba tte ry Pa c k
When the battery pack has reached the end of its useful life,
the batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or
hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery
pack or dispose of the battery pack with general waste
materials. Contact the Product Service Department (see
page 5) for recycling or disposal information.

Cha rg ing Your Ba tte ry Pa c k
Charge the Battery Pack by following the steps shown below:
➊ Fully charge the battery (see page
2). Plug the battery pack directly
into any common 120 Volt AC outlet
in North America. If outside North
America, use the step down
transformer provided with the
scanner.

➋
The LED on the bottom of the battery pack will
light red when the unit is charging; it shows
green when it is fully charged and ready to use.
Note: It is important that you charge a NiCad battery
for 48 hours prior to first use. No damage
occurs if this is not done, but the battery
capacity will not be at 100%. A NiMH battery
requires charging for only 24.5 hours.
Recharge Time (NiCad or NiMH):
8 hours at 120 VAC, 50/60 hz
➌
After battery pack is fully charged, attach to the
Cordless Scanner by pressing the pack firmly (align
the prongs on the pack with the mating receptacles)
in the base of the scanner until the release buttons
click, holding the pack firmly in place. (When you
attach a charged battery pack to the Cordless
Scanner, you will hear a single beep.)

If you haven’t set up your Cordless System, refer to the “Setting Up and
Connecting the Cordless System” section in the System Manual for
instructions.
When the battery pack needs recharging, the yellow LED on top of the scanner
pulses in short, continuous blinks and the scanner won’t beep when you pull the
trigger. If the LED stops flashing when the temperature lowers or you do not use
the battery pack for some time, you still need to charge the battery pack to avoid
damaging the battery pack or causing scanner memory loss.
[ Plug the battery pack into a wall socket in North America only. Failure to
comply could result in equipment failure.

Assoc ia ting the Cord le ss Sc a nne r to a Ba se
Important: Make sure the Cordless Scanner’s battery pack has been fully
charged. See page 3 for charging instructions.
Using the Cordless Scanner, scan the Association Bar Code (the bar code label
onthetopoftheBase)tolinkthatscannertotheBase(seetheillustrationbelow).

Association
Bar Code
Cordless
Base
Two quick beeps followed by clicking, then a single beep indicates a “good”
association. The scanner is in communication with the Base.
After association, if the battery pack is removed from the scanner and replaced,
the scanner automatically re-associates to the base if the base has remained
powered up. In this case, the scanner beeps when a charged battery pack is
installed, then clicks and beeps a second time after full association, about five
to ten seconds later.
Note: To set up and connect the Cordless System to the host system, refer to
the Cordless System Manual that is shipped with each Base unit. The System
Manual includes all programming selections, more detailed explanations of the
Cordless System, product specifications, scan maps, connector illustrations and
pinouts, maintenance and troubleshooting information.
