TurntheBHTon,bringthebar-codereadingwindowtothebarcodetobescanned,andpressthe
triggerswitch.TheBHTturnsontheilluminationLEDtoscanthebarcode.
WhentheBHThasreadthebarcodesuccessfully,theindicatorLEDwillilluminateingreen.

ïIftheBHTfailstoreadduetospeculareffectsorotherfactors,
changethescanningangleofthebar-codereadingwindoworthe
distancefromcodesasshownatright,andtryitagain.(Specular
effectsoccurwhenthereflectionofthelightfromthebarcode
becomesexcessivelystrong.Thiscaneasilyhappenwhenthe
reflectingsurfaceispolishedorcoveredwithvinyl.)
ïToreadbarcodeswiderthanthereadableareaofthebar-code
readingwindow,pullthebar-codereadingwindowawayfrombar
codes.
**Forthedetailedscanningconditions,refertoAppendixA.
ïThebarcodereadingproceduremaydifferdependinguponthe
applicationused,sofollowtheapplicationísmanual.

ïBeforereadinglabels,cleanthemifstained.
ïAvoidusingtheBHTindirectsunlight.TheBHTmightfailtoreadcorrectly.
ïToreadbarcodesoncurvedsurfaces,applythebar-codereadingwindowtothecenterofeachba
r
codeatarightangle.
ïIfyoupullthebar-codereadingwindowawayfrombarcodes,theactualscanningrangewill
becomenarrowerthantherangecoveredbytheilluminationLED.
ïThelightintensityoftheilluminationLEDwillvarydependinguponthescanningconditionsand
