INTRODUCTION Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, nonabrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean. If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or damage the unit's exterior.
GETTING STARTED Battery Tips and Cautions Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation the battery pack must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. After the initial preparation charge of 8 hours, the battery will only require 6 hours to come to a full charge when it gives a Low Battery warning (see page 8). Follow the steps on page 7 to fully charge the battery. Once charged, the unit is able to handle 5400 continuous first pass readings over a period of approximately 9 hours.
GETTING STARTED Charging the Battery Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation for the first time, the battery must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. After the initial preparation charge of 8 hours, the battery will only require 6 hours to come to a full charge when it gives a Low Battery warning (see page 8). 1. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet should be located near the charger and easily accessible. 2.

ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION VIA BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY Communication via Bluetooth wireless technology must be established between the FocusBT and the host device before the FocusBT can be used for normal operation. In a network with Bluetooth technology, the FocusBT can operate as a server (service-provide mode), or as a client. When FocusBT Acts as a Server to Other Devices with Bluetooth Technology FocusBT’s default is to act as a server to other devices with Bluetooth technology.
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION VIA BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY When FocusBT Acts as a Client to Other Devices with Bluetooth Technology In the client device mode of operation, the FocusBT initiates the connection via Bluetooth wireless technology. The Bluetooth address of the remote device is required to establish a connection. The remote device must also be configured to accept incoming connections and must support the Bluetooth wireless technology Serial Port (SPP) profile.
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION VIA BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY When FocusBT is Used with an MS9535 Cradle FocusBT can be configured to communicate with an MS9535 cradle but it will require the FocusBT to be configured to use a special communication protocol used by the MS9535 cradle. Scan the Enable MS9535 Cradle Protocol bar code below to enable the special communication protocol. The FocusBT cannot be configured or flash-upgraded via an MS9535 cradle.
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION VIA BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY Inventory Mode In Inventory mode, there is a quantity field associated with each bar code. Similar to RangeGate mode, the data is stored in the scanner’s non-volatile memory. However, in inventory mode, the data is always stored independent of whether the connection for Bluetooth technology is active or not, and is not uploaded automatically until a special bar code is scanned.

SCANNER OPERATION Two Default Modes of Operation* Multi-Trigger Mode, Out-of-Stand 1. The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination. 2. Aim the scanner’s line of light over the bar code. 3. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning. The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code. If the trigger is released the scanner will stop trying to scan. 4.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the FocusBT is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files. One Beep When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators Low to High Beep This tone indicates the connection via Bluetooth technology has been made. High to Low Beep This tone indicates the connection via Bluetooth technology is disconnected. A Double Razz Tone When the communication link for Bluetooth technology is not active, the scanner will emit a double razz tone and the Blue LED will start to flash.
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators Steady White When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted. After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s white LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.
