3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Checking lists
Before using the DLA, make sure that the correct lists and collection categories are
on the memory card.
1. From the Home screen, press Lists.
2. Check the Data Loaded date to help determine if the lists on the memory card are
current.
3. Make sure that the shelf-order lists appear in the order that matches the physical
layout of your library.
Use Data Manager software to change the order of these lists.
Battery management
Handheld Model 803/804
During storage, the DLA continues to use a small amount of battery power. Over time (approximately 2-3 days),
the battery can lose its charge.
Battery-use recommendations
• Start each day with a fully charged battery.
• Whenever the DLA is not in use, remove the battery.
See Using the Change Battery function on page 49.
See the 3M™ Handheld RFID Reader Owners Manual for instructions on charging the batteries.
Important notes:
Always use the Change Battery function when you remove the battery.
If you do not use the Change Battery function when removing the battery, you may lose collected data and/or
corrupt the memory card.
