Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to
the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1
and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable
performance requirements for a limited power source.
Maintenance
Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-
abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.
If the unit’s housing requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or
damage the unit’s exterior.

Audible Indicators
When the scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to
indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available
for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone).
One Beep – On Power Up
When the unit powers up, the green LED turns on, then the red LED flashes and
the scanner beeps once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the
beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the
scanner will emit a beep (if configured to do so.) If the scanner does not beep
once and the red LED does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Three Beeps – During Operation
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the
scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The red and green LEDSs will
continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting
configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the red LED will stop
flashing.
When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout
during normal scanning mode.
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times: the current
selected tone, followed by a short pause, a high tone, and a low tone. The single
configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.
Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 8.
Three Beeps – On Power Up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 8.

7
Visual Indicators
The scanner is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the
scanner’s state and the status of the current scan respectively when the unit is in
operation.
Figure 5. LED Location
Green and Red LEDs Are Off
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.
Steady Green
Steady green indicates the laser is active.
Steady Green and Single Red Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the
scanner will beep once. If the red LED does not flash and the scanner does not
beep once, the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady Green and Steady Red
After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some
communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is
ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the
scanner’s red LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.
Alternating Green and Red Flashes
The scanner is in configuration mode. A razzberry tone indicates an invalid bar
code has been scanned in this mode.
Steady Red
This indicated the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

8
Failure Modes
Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone
This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return
the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.
Flashing Green and Red with Two Razzberry Tones
This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for
repair to an Authorized Service Center.
Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs
If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the
scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an
Authorized Service Center.
Three Beeps – On Power Up
If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the non-volatile memory
(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. You must return the
unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

IR Activation Range*
Youjie’s 5800 default power save mode is Laser OFF. This power save mode
turns the laser off after a configured period of non-use. Any movement detected
by the IR in the activation area will cause the scanner to exit power save mode.
The laser will automatically turn back on preparing the scanner for bar code
recognition, decoding and transmission.

short.
Adjust the same symbol timeout
for a longer time increment.
The unit scans a
bar code, but locks
up after the first
scan (the red LED
stays on.)
The scanner is
configured to
support some
form of host
handshaking but
is not receiving
the signal.
If the scanner is setup to support
ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF,
or D/E, verify the host cable and
host are supporting the
handshaking properly.
The unit powers up,
but does not beep.
The beeper may
be disabled or no
tone has been
selected.
Enable beeper and select a tone.

12
Symptoms Possible Causes Solution
The unit scans
but the data
transmitted to
the host is
incorrect.
The scanner’s data
format does not
match the host
system requirements.
Verify the scanner’s data format
matches the format required by
the host. Make sure the scanner
is connected to the proper host
port.

properly. Check to make sure the baud rate
and parity of the scanner and the
communication port match and
that the program is looking for
RS232 data.
The cable is not
connected to the
proper com port.
The com port is not
operating properly.
The host is
receiving data
but the data
does not look
correct.
The scanner and host

Configuration Introduction
Your new scanner has been factory configured with a set of default parameters.
Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, a
wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code
based configuration tool are provided. Once the configuration is completed, the
scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves
the settings when the power is off.
Note: Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is
a factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the
Multi-Code configuration method.
Bar Code Configuration Methods
Scanners can be bar code configured in two ways:
the Single-Code Method and the Multi-Code Method.
Single-Code Method
Most features can be enabled or disabled using the Single-Code Method.
1. Power up the scanner.
2. Scan the bar code for the desired feature.
3. The scanner will emit a multi-toned beep to indicate the configuration
has been saved to NOVRAM.
Multi-Code Method
All features can be enabled or disabled using the Multi-Code Method.
A feature marked with a tilde ( ~ ) requires the Multi-Code Method.
1. Power up the scanner.
2. Scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code (3 beeps).
3. Scan the bar code for the desired feature (1 beep). Multiple features can
be enabled/disabled before scanning the enter/exit configuration mode
bar code.
4. Scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code (3 beeps) and save
the new configuration. To abort a configuration change, power off the
scanner before scanning the Enter/Exit code.
