Chapter 1
Unitech HT660 Overview and Setup
The General Store now supports the HT660, a rugged, compact and ergo-
nomic handheld terminal powered by the WinCE.NET OS. It incorporates an
integral barcode scanning laser/CCD device, color LCD with touch screen,
keypad, BT and wireless communication interface capability.
Your HT660 Includes…
Your HT660 kit contains the following components:
The HT660 handheld terminal and manual CD.
You should also have a General Store Installa-
tion CD.
USB Cradle is for data transmission and charg-
ing purpose, including a USB cable and an AC
Power Supply to connect the HT660 to an electri-
cal power outlet in order to power the terminal
and / or charge the battery pack, utilizing either
110 or 220 Volt (100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 MHz)
electrical outlets available in most countries.
The hand strap is convenient for carrying your
HT660 and also includes a stylus attachment.
The 3.7v, 1950mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery
pack provides the main power

4
Step 1 - Connect The USB Cradle
The USB cradle is used for two purposes:
1. Charging the HT660 main and backup batteries.
2. Uploading new programs and updates via Active Sync USB connection.
Since you are using the wireless version of the General Store interface soft-
ware, connection of the USB cable is optional. However, you must use the
AC adapter that came with the HT660 to power the USB Cradle.
Step 2 - Check the Battery and Power Configuration
Z Your battery has been installed and charged by Crichlow Data Sciences, Inc.
The instructions below are provided mainly as a reference if you ever have to
install a new battery, or perform a cold boot on your Unitech HT660.
Should you need to change the battery, it located in the rear of the HT660

5
Step 3 – Remove Protective Screen Film
Installing a New Battery Pack
If you ever have to replace the battery pack, follow these instructions:
1. Remove the battery door
3. Move the backup battery switch to the ON position (see below).
4. Insert the battery pack so that the contacts on the battery pack line up
with the contacts in the battery compartment. Fully seat the battery.
Charging the Batteries
The main and backup batteries are charged by placing the HT660 in the
cradle/docking station (first connect the power supply to the Docking Station).
First Time to Charge the Main Battery & Backup Battery
We would like to propose to charge the battery at least up to 12 hours for the
first time to use. While it normally only takes about 4 hours to charge the bat-
tery after it’s been drained, when charging the battery for the first time please
allow at least 12 hours. While charging the main battery the backup battery
should also be charged. Please make sure the backup battery has been
switched “ON” (this cannot be emphasized enough).
Z CAUTION: There is a high risk of data loss from RAM if the backup battery is
not fully charged. This can happen if the main battery has been drained and
the unit is not connected to the AC adaptor. For this reason, it is crucial that
the backup battery is switched on before charging the main battery for the
first time.
Step 3 – Remove Protective Screen Film
To protect screen, the HT660 has been provided with a protective plastic
film. You may remove it (if desired). The screen will be more susceptible to
scratching without the film, but will be more readable.

6
First Time Use of the HT660
Z NOTE: Your HT660 has already been powered up and configured by
Crichlow Data Sciences, Inc. Should you ever have to perform a cold boot on
your HT660, follow the instructions below when turning on the HT660 for the
first time after the cold boot.
Pressing the Power ON/OFF Key
The Unitech HT660 welcome screen appears. The Windows CE screen will
appear shortly thereafter.
Align the Screen
When prompted, use the stylus to tap the targets as they appear in order to
align the touch screen. When you complete the procedure, press any key or
press anywhere on the touch screen to start up the WinCE system.
Setting Time Zone/ Date
Before using the HT660 please take a few minutes to set the time and date
so that data can be properly time-stamped.
Setting the Time Zone First
Follow the steps below to set up your time zone.
1. Tap the location arrow to see a list of cities.
2. Choose your location (or nearest listed one).
3. Select the Daylight Savings Time check box, if necessary.
4. Tap the APPLY button.

Keypad Overview
Here is a summary of the buttons found on the Unitech HT660, with descrip-
tions of what they do.
l[ENT] The Enter key confirms data entry.
l[FUNC] The Function Key is used in conjunction with specific number
keys to operate as hotkeys (see next page).

as an alternative method of character input. This software keyboard repli-
cates the layout of a standard PC keyboard.

The Windows CE keyboard can be opened by tapping the “keyboard” icon on
the task bar. (Refer to picture).

Configuring Your Barcode Scanner
Your Unitech HT660 comes equipped with an integrated laser barcode scan-
ner. It is set at the factory in terms of symbologies like UPCA, UPCE, Code
39, etc.
If for some reason, you need to custom configure the barcode scanner, follow
these steps.
1. Tap the Start icon in the lower left corner of the HT660 screen. Then select
Settings>Control Panel.
2. You will then see the Control Panel Window shown below.
Tap the Scanner icon shown above (circled in red above).

bology you wish to edit and click the plus sign again, to expand that selection. In
the example below, we selected the UPCA symbology.
4. We then turned on the “Transmit check char/digit” option.

12
To save your changes, tap the “Apply” button.
5. You can test the scanner by selecting the “Test” tab. Then scan a barcode
6. That’s it! To exit, simply tap the “OK” button at the top right corner of the screen.
