1. Introduction
The MDE devices from company aitronic are multi purpose in capturing and
recording bar codes, transponder tags and manual data.
The devices come in a range of designs and configurations (refer to Technical
Manual LogiScan-600/800/1100).
Before using your MDE devices please read this handbook carefully.
All details in this handbook are without warranty and can be rewritten or altered
without prior notification from us. We are constantly engaged in maintaining our
products error-free and at highest technical standard. As far as possible our object
in view is to design our products compatible with products already in use. Despite
painstaking efforts, it is not always possible for us to create, develop or test
software to 100 % efficiency or to fully guarantee for every possible situation within
working conditions.
For property- or personal damage caused, directly or indirectly, as a consequence
of using our devices or software, the company aitronic cannot be held for liability.
This handbook as well as parts of it may not be copied, broadcast or transferred,

2. Security Hints
Laser Scanner Module
The MDE devices are powered with a low power laser diode for
visible laser light. The wavelength is 650 nm and the laser power is
1,2 mW nominal. The laser scanner complies with the regulations
of CDRH/IEC Class II.
As with other strong light sources the user should not look directly or indirectly into
the laser beam. It is not known that an occasional exposure to CDRH-Class-II-laser
light can be damaging to eyesight.
The necessary safety labels can be found under the laser light window.
Never try to open any of the laser components or attempt to carry out maintenance
on the device. The laser safety regulations could be violated. Repair of the laser
module is done exclusively in our workshop.

Lithium-Polymer and Lithium-Ion Accumulators
These security hints should support you when handling with
lithium-ion accumulators. The following list doesn’t claim
completeness. For damages which occur when using, storing
and/or charging the accumulators we don’t take over any liability.
In the following list lithium-polymer and lithium-ion accumulators
are called accumulators.
►Charge the accumulators exclusive with the delivered charging device. Pay
attention to the security hints to this charging device.
►Don’t leave the accumulators unattended when charging.
►Prevent overheating the accumulators. Cells which become warmer than about
60 °C may destroy themselves and/or may begin to burn or may explode.
►Don’t short the accumulators.
►Don’t put the accumulators into water or expose them to moisture.
►Don’t store the accumulators near to fire, at warm locations, in the sun or near
to burnable materials.
►Keep exchange accumulators at a secure location outside the reach of
children.
►Don’t remove fix installed accumulators. Don’t open exchange accumulators
and/or put them together with other packs or solder them together with other
packs.
►If you don’t need an exchange accumulator anymore you should keep it at a
secure place (i.e. LiPo Security Case).
►Damaged, deformed or blown up accumulators or accumulators which were
used in a damaged device shouldn’t be used any further. Small damages
which can’t be seen at a first look at may lead to heavy damages and
consequences.
►If an accumulator should begin to burn don’t never extinguish with water. Pay
attention to the following hints concerning the behaviour in case of fire.

Security Hints ____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________ aitronic
2-3
Should the accumulators have caught fire never quench with
water. The following steps are absolutely required:
►Keep cool and carefully take action. Lock the danger area.
►Immediately arrange that all persons leave the burning area against the wind
►If possible arrange the removal of all burnable objects out of the danger area.
►Don’t inhale flue gases and fume – Contamination Danger!
►Don’t never try to extinguish with water – Explosion Danger!
►Suitable extinguish substances are: dry sand, fire extinguisher, extinguish
plaids, fitting fire resistant covers.
►Get near to the burning location with following wind and doughty and according
to the prescription apply the extinguish substances. That means apply the
extinguish sand completely and all at once across the burning location and
cover the location airtight.
►Clear the burn location not before complete cool down and a waiting time of at
least 2 hours and do the waste disposal according to the administrative
prescription. Wear protection gloves.
►If you have some doubts concerning your extinguish tries call the fire brigade
to help you.
By disposal of the used batteries or accumulators, adherence to the regulations
concerning battery disposal (see section Recycling Orders) should be observed.

3. Care Instructions
Your data capturing device with integrated laser scanner module is a high grade
and robust unit consisting of electronic and laser optic components. A faulty
treatment of this device may considerable affect function and efficiency. To
guarantee long and constant operation you should consider the following care
instructions!
Care of the Scanner
The red scanner screen of your MDE devices and the inner resided scanner
module form an optical unit. This screen is provided with a special coating. A
damage of this coating i.e. by scratches may lead to problems when scanning
barcodes. Because of this a clean and moist cloth should be used when cleaning
this screen. Rough dirt may be removed with a soft brush. Cleaning agents may not
be used for the screens care and cleaning.
Terminal of the LogiScan family have an aluminum case. All other terminals from
ours have a plastic case. Although both are robust materials for cleaning only a soft
cleaning agent should be used.
Dealing with the Devices Markings
The attached marking labels (warning and security labels) may not be removed by
principle. It is the legitimation to operate with this terminal. Making the terminals
data plate or the data plates information (i.e. the serial number) unrecognizable
should be avoided. Missing information on the data plate may lead to a more
difficult identification. This may lead further to problems which couldn’t be solved by
telephone. In this case the terminal must be sent in.
Further we recommend for the attachment of additional information (i.e. department
or personal numbers) labels with plastic back. Simple paper back labels aren’t
durable enough. In that way sticking parts may smudge the scanner screen. In this
case on one hand the scanner function will be affected, on the other hand cleaning
without ignoring the above instructions isn’t possible because a solvent would be
required.

Repairing Screen Damages
In case of overstress the screen may be loosen. We explicitly attention to that self
repairing with short time glue may affect the screen in such strong way that the
casing must be changed.
At this point we want to explicitly attention to that we don’t overtake guarantee for
damages which are the consequence of wrong dealing with the MDE devices .

4. Communication with PC
General
The communication between MDE device and a PC can be performed cable
bound (via communication cable or docking station) or, assumed the MDE device
is equipped with a DECT module, wireless via a DECT Accesspoint.
Software updates in principal are possible only cable bound.
All MDE devices are available with DECT module. The kind of the cable bound
connection may vary depending on the type of MDE device and will be described in
the further course of this chapter.

5. Switch on your PC and start WinDECT respectively your user application.
6. Switch on your MDE device. When after a few seconds the DECT lock symbol
appears at the status lines right side at the bottom of the LCD the MDE device
is ready to communicate with the PC.
If in face of active DECT Accesspoint there appears no DECT lock symbol in the
MDE devices status line, the MDE device has to be subscribed at the DECT
Accesspoint. For this need the following steps are required:
Subscription of a MDE device at the DECT Accesspoint
1. Terminate WinDECT.
2. Start the program DECTOR II and choose the concerning DECT Accesspoint.
3. Call the MDE device system level with function SHIFT ESC.
4. Perform DECTOR-II function Subscription on Air.
5. Call the MDE devices menu function Admin/DECT/SubsOnAir.
6. After a few seconds the MDE device should display the message
„Subscription performed“.
7. This procedure has to be performed for each MDE device as the case may be.
8. Terminate DECTOR II, start the MDE devices application again with menu
function and start WinDECT again.
