steps:
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.
• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Cordless System: Main Components
About the Battery
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any
battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not
covered by the warranty.
Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that
is integrated in the image scanner handle. Each image scanner is shipped with
a battery. (See
Product Specifications beginning on page 6-1 . )
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the image scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to "2020 LED Sequences and Meaning" on page 3-4
for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
• Place the image scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate
power supply.
Battery Recommendations
• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully
charged for maximum charge capacity.

2020 User’s Guide 1 - 3
• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can
also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type
of battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the
battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the image
scanner.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to
Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection. Contact
the Product Service Department (page 8-1) for additional information.
Proper Disposal of the Battery
When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the
battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or
hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or
dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may
send batteries to Honeywell (postage paid). The shipper is
responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws
and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting,
and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service
Department (page 8-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since you may find
that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective
to locate a local recycle/disposal company.
Connecting the Base
A base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,”
plugged into the serial port, plugged into a USB port, or connected to a portable
data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode.
Turn off power before connecting the base, then power up the computer once
the base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put
the image scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base
flashes to indicate the image scanner’s battery is charging.

1 - 4 2020 User’s Guide
Connecting the Base with USB
A base can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base first and then to the
computer. Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom
of the base and that the base sits flat on a horizontal surface.
2. Program the base for the USB interface by scanning the appropriate
programming barcode See page 2-5.
3. Verify the base operation by scanning a barcode.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to the
Honeywell “USB Application Note,” available at www.honeywell.com/aidc.
Connecting the Base with Keyboard Wedge
1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the ter-
minal/computer.

2020 User’s Guide 1 - 5
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base and to the terminal/
computer and keyboard. Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways
in the bottom of the base and that the base sits flat on a horizontal surface.
3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
4. Program the base for the keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge
Connection" on page 2-1.
5. Verify the base operation by scanning a barcode.

1 - 6 2020 User’s Guide
Connecting the Base with RS-232 Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base. Make sure the cables
are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the base and that the base sits
flat on a horizontal surface.
Note: For the base to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your
type of terminal/computer.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the
two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Once the image scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.
Connecting the Base with RS-232 Wedge
The 2020 uses TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network. Use
only 2020 serial wedge cables to prevent damage to the base. Refer to RS-232
Baud Rate on page 2-16 to set the baud rate and communications protocol.
1. Turn off power to the computer.
2. Disconnect the existing serial cable from the computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base. Make sure the cables
are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the base and that the base sits
flat on a horizontal surface.

2020 User’s Guide 1 - 7
Note: For the base to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your
type of computer.
4. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the
two screws to secure the connector to the port.
5. Plug the other serial connector into the host connection and tighten the two
screws.
6. Plug the power supply to the base and plug into the AC source.
7. Once the base has been fully connected, power up the computer.

1 - 8 2020 User’s Guide
Linking Image Scanner to Base
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image
scanner are not linked. Once the image scanner is placed into the base, the
software automatically links the image scanner and the base. If the image
scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback.
If this is the first time that the image scanner and base are linked, both devices
emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, you are set to one image
scanner to one base.
1. Provide power to the base.
2. Place the image scanner into the base. The image scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the image scanner provides
a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the image scanner has
successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the image scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 7-4
for troubleshooting information.
Communication Between the Cordless System
and the Host
The cordless image scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good
read” indication (a green LED on the image scanner and an audible beep) after
a barcode is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the
data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way
communication between the image scanner and the base.
