BHT-1170BWB-CE / BHT-1171BWB-CE
Preface
Thank you for using the BHT-1100BWB-CE / BHT-1171BWB-CE DENSO WAVE Barcode Handy Terminal.
Please read this manual thoroughly prior to operation to ensure full use of the product’s functionality, and store safely
in a convenient location for quick reference even after reading.
If the BHT is left with the battery discharged or with the battery removed, or if the battery is replaced incorrectly, data
including files and settings stored in the RAM may be lost. When performing full reset (refer to “Chapter 2 BHT
Preparation” – “2.6 Resetting and Full Resetting”), all data including files and settings stored in the RAM will also be
lost and the RAM will revert to the factory default. It is recommended that any important data be backed up to the
“FLASH” folder or to the computer before full reset. When the BHT turns ON after the data in the RAM is deleted, the
BHT starts from the “Initial Setup” (refer to “Chapter 2 BHT Preparation” – “2.4 Initial Setup”).

Handling the battery
•Never disassemble or heat the battery, nor put it into fire or water; doing so could cause battery-rupture
or leakage of battery fluid, resulting in a fire or bodily injury.
•Do not carry or store the battery together with metallic ball-point pens, necklaces, coins, hairpins, etc.
Doing so could short-circuit the terminal pins, causing the batteries to rupture or the battery fluid to leak,
resulting in a fire or bodily injury.
•Never put the battery into a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
•Avoid dropping the battery or letting it undergo any shock or impact.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
•Never charge the rechargeable battery where any inflammable gases may be emitted; doing so could
cause fire.
•Only use the dedicated charger for charging the rechargeable battery.
Using a different type of charger could cause battery-rupture or leakage of battery fluid and result in a
fire, bodily injury, or serious damage to property.
Handling the BHT
•Never put the BHT into a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
Doing so could cause the BHT to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
•Do not poke at the eyes with the stylus that comes with the BHT.

BHT-1170BWB-CE / BHT-1171BWB-CE
Handling the CU
•If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the CU, immediately unplug the AC adapter from the
wall socket or CU and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
•If foreign material or water gets into the CU, immediately unplug theAC adapter from the wall socket or
CU and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
•If you drop the CU so as to damage its housing, immediately unplug the AC adapter from the wall
socket or CU and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause fire or electrical shock.
•Never use the CU for charging anything other than the specified batteries.
Doing so could cause heat, battery-rupture, or fire.
•Never bring any metals into contact with the output terminals.
Doing so could produce a large current through the CU, resulting in heat or fire, as well as damage to
the CU.
•Never use the CU on the line voltage other than the specified level.
Doing so could cause the CU to break or burn.
•Use the dedicated AC adapter only.
Failure to do so could result in fire.

To System Designers:
•When introducing BHTs in those systems that could affect human lives (e.g., medicines management
system), develop applications carefully through redundancy and safety design which avoids the
feasibility of affecting human lives even if a data error occurs.
Handling the battery
•Never charge a wet or damp rechargeable battery.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture or burn.
Handling the BHT
•If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull out the
battery, and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•If foreign material or water gets into the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull out the battery, and
contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•If you drop the BHT so as to damage its housing, immediately turn off the power, pull out the battery,
and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•Do not use batteries or power sources other than the specified ones; doing so could generate heat or
cause malfunction.
•When using the hand belt, exercise due care to avoid getting them caught in other objects or entangled
in rotating machinery.
Failure to do so could result in accident or injury.
Never dis-
assemble
•Never disassemble or modify the BHT; doing so could result in an accident such as break or fire.
•Never put the BHT in places where there are excessively high temperatures, such as inside closed-up
automobiles, or in places exposed to direct sunlight.
Doing so could affect the housing or parts, resulting in a fire.
•Avoid using the BHT in extremely humid or dusty areas, or where there are drastic temperature
changes.
Moisture or dust will get into the BHT, resulting in malfunction, fire or electrical shock.
•In environments where static electricity can build into significant charges (e.g., if you wipe off the plastic
plate with a dry cloth), do not operate the BHT. Doing so will result in malfunction or machine failure.
•Do not apply excessive force when inserting or removing the rechargeable battery.
Doing so will result in damage.
•Tap the LCD only with the stylus that comes with the BHT.
Using the tip of a pen or any pointed object will result in a damaged or broken LCD.
