PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROLLER AND
DIGITAL SCANNER (CONT’D)
Tracing the Bar Codes
® Place the Digital Scanner vertically on the Small Box.
(§) Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.
Cleaning Brush for the Digital Scanner
If the sensor in the tip of the Digital Scanner becomes
clogged with dirt, it may become impossible to read the bar
codes. Clean the tip from time to time with the supplied
brush as illustrated below.
Keep this brush in the storage case of the Digital Scanner.
Cleaning Brush
•Move the brush several times over the
tip so that the hair e Uers the hole.
•Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the sheet
gets dirty or scratched, the bar code reading may
become impossible.
•Protect the Digital Scanner from strong shocks and
vibration. Keep it away from water and places with
high temperature and humidity.
•If the bar code is traced slowly, it cannot be read
correctly.
•When there is no “Beep” sound, the reading of the
bar code is incomplete. Trace the bar code again.
•When using the Programming Sheet, put it on flat
surface. Reading the bar codes while holding it in
your hand or bending it, may result in incorrect
operation.
•Do not deviate from the bar code, nor stop tracing
halfway.
•Do not slant the scanner to trace the bar code.
Power Source for the Remote Controller
(Digital Scanner)
■ The Remote Controller is powered by two lEC “R6"
(Digital Scanner: 41 EC “R03") size batteries. The life of
the batteries is about one year, however, it depends on
the frequency of use. Inspect and replace if necessary.
Check the batteries regularly for leakage.
CAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT
•Load the new batteries with their polarities (© and 0)
aligned correctly,
•Do not apply heat to batteries, or internal short-circuit may
occur.
•If you do not intend to use the Remote Controller or Digital
Scanner for a long period of time, remove the batteries
and store them in a cool and dry place.
•Remove spent batteries immediately and dispose of them.
•Do not use old and new batteries together. (Also never
use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.)
Load the batteries as follows:
O Remove the battery compartment lid.
0 Place the batteries in the battery compartment as
indicated inside the battery compartment.
•The infra-red beam should be transmitted directly at the
Infra-red Remote Control Receiver on the front of the
VTR.
•Direct sunlight may interfere with the beam.
•The lightsensing angle of the Infra-red Remote Control
Receiver in the VTR is about 30'’ for each side from the
centre.
•The unit should be used within a range of about 7 meters
from the front of the VTR.
Recommendation
To save battery power, make sure to set the Digital Scanner
On/Off Switch to “OFF" after using the Digital Scanner.
When the batteries are exhausted, the bar code reading
can no longer be performed.
