Symbol shows:
This symbol means an action is prohibited.
●This symbol means an instruction must be followed.
Be sure to keep this manual in a place accessible to users of this case.
Caution, read all accompanying documents before operating the
device.
WARNING
To prevent damage, do not use the case when exposed to
moisture, rain, snow, or severe weather. In these conditions current
leakage or electric shock may result if opened case is exposed to the
elements.
Never use the case in flammable or volatile location. This may
cause explosion or fire.
Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or high
temperatures, such as direct sunlight.
Never use the case where acid or corrosive gases are present
as current leakage or electrical shock may result due to corrosion.
WARNING
●
If this case is to be used for storing poisons, radioactive
material or other harmful products, ensure that it is in a safe
area. Failure to do so may lead to an adverse effect on the health of
personnel in the area and local environment. In this case, a request
for repair or maintenance will necessitate a safety check sheet for
maintenance personnel and that the case is clearly labeled to show
such materials.
Never splash water directly into the case as this may cause
short circuit.
Never disassemble, repair, or modify this case yourself. Any
such work carried out by an unauthorized person may result in fire or
injury due to a malfunction.

EDOC00082 –RFID Mobile Case User Manual, rev 1 5
●
Remove the battery if there is something wrong with the case.
Continued abnormal operation may cause electric shock or fire.
●
The battery should be removed from the case if it is to be stored
for long periods of time.
CAUTION
Do not sit or place heavy objects on the case. This may cause
injury by tipping or damage to the case.
●
Always remove the battery from the case prior to any repair
or maintenance of the case in order to prevent electric shock or
injury.
Cautions for Usage
1. Always open and close the lid gently. Rough operation may lead to
damage of the lid.

Proper Handling
Take care to not drop the case from excessive height. Do not force the lid to
close and latch; it should close freely. The products inside should not be taller
than the case allows.
Operating Instructions
Setup
Battery installation/replacement
The case is initially shipped without the system battery installed. Once installed
the battery may remain installed until a recharge is required.
Note: The battery should be fully charged prior to initial use.
Open the battery cover by sliding the latch to the right. Place the connector
end of the battery into the compartment with the label face-up. Then press the
other end down to seat the battery. Finally press the cover closed until it
latches.
When a recharge is needed the external charger may be plugged in at any
time. Allow up to 4 hours for a full charge. The case will remain fully
operational during recharge.
Note: the case may also be used without a battery if the charger is
continuously connected.
Optionally the battery may be removed and recharged external to the case. In
this case a small internal battery will keep critical circuitry powered until a
charged battery is installed. An optional desktop charger is required for
external charging.
Basic User Process
To access the case inventory, first open the four push-pull latches and lift open
the lid. Any desired products may be added or removed as needed. The case lid
should be closed and re-latched when finished. The system will automatically
turn on and begin an inventory process.
The updated inventory data will then be transmitted for processing. Typically,
the inventory process will take about 2 minutes to complete. The case should
remain closed while the inventory process is occurring but can be accessed if
needed. The case will enter battery saving mode after a brief period of
inactivity.

EDOC00082 –RFID Mobile Case User Manual, rev 1 9
Visual Indicators
Indicators are only active when case is not in battery saving mode. After the
case has been idle for several minutes, the LEDs will be disabled to conserve
battery life.

Both LEDs will be off while the case is in battery saving mode. Once the case
lid has been closed, one or both LEDs may begin flashing. This indicates the
case is exiting battery saving mode. Both LEDs will turn solid when the system
is fully operational. Once the RFID scan is complete and the inventory is
transmitted to Terso, the case will enter back into battery saving mode.
Log Entry Events
All case log entry events are automatically sent to Terso Solutions. Terso
Solutions staff may contact the individual transporting the case to assist in
correcting a potential problem.
Low Battery
An event will be generated and sent to Terso when the battery passes below
the low battery threshold, which by default is 20%. The case will continue to
function as normal when in this state.
Note: There is a fuel gauge on the battery for quick reference.
Critical Battery
An event will be generated and attempted to be sent to Terso when the battery
passes below the critical battery threshold, which by default is 10%. While in
this state, no RFID scans will be attempted. Additionally, if the battery is too
low, it may not be able to send in this event. The battery should either be
replaced or recharged to at least 50% before continued use.
Lid Open
If the lid is left open for longer than the lid open threshold time, an event will
be queued. The case will remain operational in this condition but will no longer
report real-time inventory.

EDOC00082 –RFID Mobile Case User Manual, rev 1 10
System Failure
The case will automatically attempt to correct any hardware errors preventing
itself from functioning correctly. In the event that a hardware component fails
the case may discontinue inventory operations. Continued usage may result in
incorrect inventory reports. Terso Solutions staff will be in contact with
appropriate staff if this occurs.
Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts in the case. Please contact Terso Solutions
for any service related inquiries.
Exterior Cleaning
Use a dry cloth to wipe off small amounts of dirt on the outside and inside of
the case. Never pour water onto or into the case. Doing so can cause electric
shock or a short circuit.
Do not clean the case with scrubbing brushes, acid, thinner, solvents,
powdered soap, cleanser or hot water. Plastic and rubber parts can be easily
damaged by these materials. Especially never use any volatile solvent to clean
the plastic or rubber parts. When a neutral dishwashing detergent is used to
clean the case, wipe it up thoroughly with a cloth soaked in clean water.
Troubleshooting
If the case does not appear to be operating correctly, check to ensure that the
battery is sufficiently charged and that the lid closes properly. If further
support is needed, contact Terso Technical Support at [phone] in
the US or [phone] in Europe. Support can also be contacted by
visiting http://support.tersosolutions.com.
Disposal
Terso Solutions will handle the disposal of the case and its components. Please
contact Terso Solutions at [phone] in the US or [phone]
in Europe to arrange for case disposal.

Battery EMC and Safety
The battery complies with the following regulations:
·EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
·Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
·Battery Recycling Directive 2006/66/EC
·RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC

·FCC Part 15 Class B
It is the responsibility of the user to follow any, or all IATA or other shipping
guidelines when shipping Li-ION batteries. Though widely used, most people
are not aware that lithium batteries are dangerous goods and can pose a safety
risk if not prepared in accordance with the transport regulations.
To help with their compliance requirements, IATA has developed guidance
information for shippers, freight forwarders, ground handlers, airlines and
passengers.
