keyboard buffer to simulate keyboard input.
Character interval (ms): A character interval of 0-100 milliseconds may be
placed between the transmissions of each character of scanned data.
2. Output via API: Application acquires scanned data by receiving system
broadcasts. 3. Fill in EditText directly: Output scanned data at the current
cursor position in EditText. Overwrite output: Clear the text input box before
sending the barcode currently scanned to make sure only the most recently
scanned data is present in the text input box. This feature is available only
when Simulate keystroke or Fill in EditText directly is selected. Output
enter-event: Send an Enter Key after each barcode is scanned. Send virtual

symbologies and set other barcode parameters. Security Level: Tap the 1D
common config,then you can set the security level per actual need. 1) The
higher the security level, the lower the error rate of code. 2) The barcode
reading performance at the higher security level is not as smooth as that at
low security. Therefore, the
default security level is 1. Increase the security level only when the error
rate is high.
37
2D code: Enable or disable 2D symbologies and set other barcode parameters.
Advanced: The features listed here are designed to improve the scanning
performance and energy efficiency of the terminal. 1. Acuscan Decoding: When
selected, the terminal only decodes the barcode aimed squarely by the aiming
pattern. It is
advised to select it to ensure that only the desired barcodes are read if
multiple barcodes are placed closely together. 2. Multiple Barcodes: When
selected, the terminal can decode multiple barcodes at the same time, and the
maximum
number of the barcodes can be set per actual needs. 3. Other: Tap DETAIL to
access the following parameter settings. Noise Reduction: This feature is
designed to reduce noise in images produced by the terminal. However, the
terminal shows a slight decrease in scanning speed when using this feature. It
is recommended to enable it only when necessary. Exposure Level: Select high,
middle or low level per actual need. Illum Mode: Select normal or no light per
actual need. Power Plan: Two options are provided.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter includes important safety and handling information and provides
troubleshooting solutions for issues that might occur when using the terminal.
Important Safety & Handling Information
Disassembly and Retrofit
Do not attempt to disassemble or retrofit the terminal yourself. Unauthorized
disassembly or retrofit will void the warranty.
External Power Supply
Use only the included AC adapter. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
terminal.
Abnormal Situation
Keep the terminal away from fire or heat sources. If there is unusual odor,
overheating or smoke during charging, immediately cut off the power and
disconnect the AC adapter, and contact your dealer or Newland customer service
center. Continued use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
Drop Damage
If the terminal is damaged due to a drop from high place, immediately cut off
the power and contact your dealer or Newland customer service center.
LCD Screen
Do not press against or strike the LCD screen. Otherwise, it may damage the
screen. When handling a cracked or shattered screen, do not touch the liquid
that has leaked from it to avoid skin burn or infection.
Stacking Heavy Objects
Do not place heavy objects on the terminal as those objects may fall and cause
injury.
Mounting Location
Do not place the terminal on unstable or uneven surfaces as it may fall and
cause injury. Do not expose the terminal to humidity or dust as this may cause
fire or electric shock. Do not expose the terminal to direct sunlight for
extended periods.
67
Wireless Functionalities
Do not use the terminal’s wireless functionalities where wireless device use
is prohibited or where it may cause interference or danger, such as in
aircrafts, petrol stations.
Use & Maintenance
If the terminal cannot be switched on after experiencing a sudden or
unexpected power loss or other abnormalities, remove and then reinstall its
battery to reset the terminal.
Do not throw, drop or strike the terminal. Doing so may damage the LCD
display, interrupt running programs, cause data loss in memory and result in
malfunction.
Clean the scan window regularly. Do not touch it with hands. Scratched or
smudged window may degrade reading performance.
Do not tap the touch screen with sharp objects. Doing so may damage the screen
or cause internal short circuits. Use only a dry soft cloth to clean the
terminal. Cleaning it with wet cloth or benzene/ thinner/ other volatile
chemicals may
deform and shorten the service life of the keypad and shell of the terminal.
Do not place the terminal face down on any surface, or there might be
misoperations. Sudden temperature drops may cause condensation on the shell
which could cause malfunction. Care should be taken
to avoid condensation. If condensation occurs, dry the terminal before use.
Battery Safety Guidelines
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. The battery can be
charged and discharged over 500 times. If the battery life is unreasonably
short, please replace the
battery with a new one. Use only the battery and AC adapter provided by
Newland. Do not continue to charge a battery that is fully charged.
Overcharging will shorten battery lifespan. Charge the device before the
battery is exhausted; Excessive battery discharge will have a bad impact on
the device. In
severe cases, it may cause the device to fail to boot normally. Avoid charging
in a low or high-temperature environment. The most suitable temperature for
charging is at 5°C45°C
(41°F113°F), and it cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). If the device is not
used for a long time, it will discharge slowly. During the storage, it is
recommended to shut down the
device and regularly recharge it (at least every six months). Ideally, Battery
should be stored between 30% to 50% state of charge.
68
Do not use damaged or faulty AC adapters or batteries. If the battery is
swelling, bulging, or having other abnormalities, please stop using it
immediately.
Properly dispose of and recycle batteries. Do not dispose of them as household
garbage.
