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 keyboard function: Make send virtual keyboard function as “action done”, “action search”, “action previous”, action search, etc.
28

29

Scan Mode
The MT93 provides the following four scan modes: 1. Level mode: Press and hold the scan trigger to start a decode session which continues until the trigger is released. 2. Continuous mode: Press the scan trigger to continuously read barcodes. To suspend or resume scan operation, simply
press the scan trigger. Scan interval (ms): This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. 3. Pulse mode: Press the scan trigger to start a decode session which continues until the decode session timeout expires. 4. Delay mode (Scan on release key): Press and hold the scan trigger to aim at barcode then release it to start a decode session which continues until the decode session timeout expires or a barcode is decoded. It is advised to use this scan mode and the Acuscan Decoding feature to ensure that only the desired barcodes are read if multiple barcodes are placed closely together. Decode session timeout (ms): This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. Masked repeat interval (ms): This parameter sets the time interval between two successive reads on the same barcode.
30

Scan Trigger
The two can keys on the terminal and the trigger on the pistol grip can all serve as scan trigger. Enable or disable them as per your actual needs. 1. Left/Right SCAN key: Use the Scan key on the left/right side of the terminal as scan trigger. 2. Stock SCAN key: Use the trigger on the pistol grip attached to the terminal as scan trigger.

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.
