Lithium-ion Battery Pack
•
Each lithium-ion battery pack has its life. The life span heavily depends on how the
battery pack is charged or stored which may cause deterioration of the battery pack
to shorten the life span if it is handled improperly. Note the tips below to make the
battery pack last long.
— Be sure to charge the battery pack before using it if the battery pack is used for the
first time or if it has not been used for a long period of time.
— If the battery pack is repeatedly charged, the life span becomes short. To avoid the
repetition of charging the battery pack, be sure that the remaining capacity is low
before you start charging.
— Be sure to charge the battery pack in recommended temperature range. The
temperature range is dependant on device you use to charge including battery
chargers and Handheld Terminals. Refer to the respective user guides. Charging
the battery pack in a temperature outside of the recommended range causes
deterioration.
— When used at low temperatures, the battery pack has a reduced capacity and will
supply power for shorter time.
The life span of the battery pack is also shortened.
— Charging the battery pack while the battery pack itself is freeze including inside
causes deterioration. Be sure to resume an ordinary room temperature on the
battery pack and then leave it unattended for approximately one hour before
charging.
— After charging the battery pack, if the performance of the battery pack does not
show any recovery, it is a sign of ending the life. Replace it with a new battery
pack.
— Avoid the battery pack with a full of the capacity to store for a long period of
time. If you need to store it for a long period, be sure that the remaining capacity
is 30 to 50 percent and to store in a moderate low temperature. This can reduce
deterioration.
— The battery pack gradually deteriorates over time. In particular, storing (or using)
the fully charged battery pack at high temperatures tends to accelerate battery pack
deterioration.

E-18
Loading and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Handheld Terminal uses two types of battery: a battery pack and a memory
backup battery.
The battery pack is used to power normal operations and to store data, while the
memory backup battery provides the power required to maintain memory contents
when the battery pack power is unable to supply power for some reason.
Use the battery pack (HA-K23XLBAT) as the main power source.
The backup battery is installed inside of the Handheld Terminal.
This guide uses the following terms to refer to the batteries.
Battery Pack:
Rechargeable battery pack (HA-K23XLBAT) for normal operations
and data storage
Backup Battery: Built-in battery for memory backup
When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a
charged battery pack.
You can use the USB Cradle, the Ethernet Cradle, the USB and Charging Unit, the
Dual Battery Charger or the Cradle-type Dual Battery Charger to charge a battery
pack installed in the terminal. See the relevant sections in this guide for the respective
options about how to use.
Important!
Always keep backup of all important data!
The battery pack powers normal operation and also provides power required to
maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to
maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the battery
pack if the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup
battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that
once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep backup of all important
data.
•
The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to
testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure
to charge the battery pack before you use it.
•
•
The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to
gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to
require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.
If a battery pack is used past the end of its service life, it may swell up in size. In
such a case, replace the battery pack with a new one.
•
•
If the backup battery is fully charged, it will maintain the contents of the
terminal’s memory (RAM) for approximately 10 minutes when the main battery
pack is removed.
It takes 4 days with the main battery pack installed in the terminal for the
backup battery to be charged fully.
•

Handling the NFC Reader/Writer (DT-X8-11E/11C/21E/21C)
NFC is a type of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology that allows the data
in a device to be read simply by holding the device up to an NFC reader.
It can be used to read RFID tags used for controlling goods as well as contactless IC
cards used in applications such as employee identification.
RFID Tags
1. Hold the Handheld Terminal up so that the reader port is parallel with the RFID tag.
Contactless IC Cards
1. Hold the contactless IC card up so that it is parallel with the Handheld Terminal's
reader port.
Otherwise, you can hold the Handheld Terminal up to the card.
E-32
Important!
Both contactless IC cards and RFID tags
The NFC employs a low power radio wave which does not require regulatory
station license.
•
Frequency band used by the NFC is 13.56 MHz. Secure a sufficient space
between DT-X8 and other reader/writer located in the vicinity. Make sure also
that a radio station employs the same frequency band does not locate near by
prior to using DT-X8.
•
Read a contactless IC card or RFID tag by holding the Handheld Terminal so
that the reader port is flush against the card or tag.
•
•
•
When holding up the Handheld Terminal, take care not to strike the reader port
against the card or tag.
If the card or tag cannot be read, try moving the Handheld Terminal back and
forth or side to side.
Contactless IC cards
Metal objects near a contactless IC card will interfere with successful reading.
Take the card out of a wallet if the wallet is with metal object before applying it
to the reader port.
•
The card may not be read correctly if it is overlapped by one or more other
cards.
•
RFID tags
Metal objects near an RFID tag will interfere with successful reading. Move the
tag away from any nearby metal objects or use a tag designed for use with metal.
•
The tag may not be read correctly if it is overlapped by one or more other tags.
Set up the Handheld Terminal so that tags can be kept completely apart during
reading.
•
E-33
