Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC & Waste Batteries Directive

2006/66/EC

This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/

EC. The batteries used in this Product comply with the requirements of

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants

PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion product that does not have an accompanying

RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to

July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

NOTES

Using THE BC-80X0

Radio Cradle

The BC-80X0 cradle, paired with one or more PowerScan™ M8300 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar-coded data.

It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS-232, USB, Wedge or

Pen cable and is suited for single-cradle point-to-point layouts. It can also be connected to a C-BOX and therefore integrated into a fixed scanner application.

The BC-8060 models also allow multi-cradle layouts through an RS-485

Network. For this network connection refer to the PowerScan™ D8330/

M8300 User Manual.

The label on the cradle has LED indicators and a scan finder button.

When the button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast” message. All properly configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio “awake”) that are linked to that base (through a bind or a join sequence) and within radio range coverage will emit a beep sequence once every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. This functionality is useful to:

• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station

• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere

The LEDs signal the BC-80X0 status, as described in the following table:

LED

Aux

STATUS

Yellow On = BC-80X0 is powered by an external power supply.

Yellow Blinking = transmission occurs over the Host port.

Host Yellow On = BC-80X0 is powered by the Host.

Yellow Blinking = transmission occurs over the Host port.

Reader Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.

Red On = the reader battery is charging.

Orange Blinking = reader battery fault – replace battery.

Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see Ref.

Manual

Spare* Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.

Red On = the spare battery is charging.

Orange Blinking = spare battery fault — replace battery.

Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error — see Ref.

Manual

*This LED refers to the accessory SBS-8000 Spare Battery Slot when mounted to the BC-8060. Not available for BC-8010 models.
