■RED REMOTE CONTROLLER (CONT’D)
How to operate the Remote Controller
(Digital Scanner)
Press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button to “ON”.
• If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds
(4 minutes during setting of the clock time), the scanner
will automatically switch over to the power-saving standby
condition and the lamp will go off. (In this case, if bar
codes have already been read but not yet transmitted to
the VTR, the data will be cancelled.)
•When the lamp is not lit, press the button to turn it “ON”
again.
(A) Place the Remote Controller on the Small Box.
(B) Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.
Small Box
The “Beep”
sound indicates
that the bar code
was read
completely.
Bar Code
Trace the bar code
completely past the last bar.
•Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the sheet
gets dirty or scratched, the bar code reading may
become impossible.
• Protect the Remote Controller 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.
Power Source for the Remote Controller
■ The Remote Controller is powered by 2 ÌEC “R6” size
batteries. The life of the batteries is about one year,
however, it depends on the frequency of use. Inspect
and if necessary, replace the batteries once a year.
CAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT
•Load the new batteries with their polarities (0 and ©)
aligned correctly.
•Do not apply heat to batteries, or internal short-circuit may
occur.
•If you do not intend to use the Remote Controller 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 an old and a new batteries together. (Also
never use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.)
Load the batteries as follows:
O Push back the battery compartment locking lever.
@ Lift off the battery compartment lid.
o Insert the batteries with their polarities aligned as
indicated inside the battery compartment.
O Replace the lid.
Note:
•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
After the programming of timer recording(s) is completed,
press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button so that the in­
dications in the LCD Display disappear, in order to save
battery power.
