Chapter 1 - Introduction

1.1 Overview

Thank you for choosing the HT580 from Unitech Electronic Co. Ltd. This Portable Data

Collection Terminal is one of the most user-friendly handheld terminals on the market -

perfect for small retailers.

Developed under the C language, the HT580’s proprietary Operating System is capable of

running, and helping you develop, application programs specifically designed by you for

your own unique business.

Weighing only 150g (5.3 oz), the light weight of the HT580 is ideal for the long work days

typical in a retail environment. Despite it’s light weight, the HT580 is unusually robust -

capable of sustaining 1.2 meter (four foot) drops to a concrete floor.

With all this, we believe the HT580 will more than satisfy your own unique retail

requirements. The HT580 standard package includes the HT580 terminal, communication

cradle, adaptor, USB & RS232 Y cable, holster, and strap. Additionally, two alternative

types of communication/charging cradles - RS232 and Modem - are offered as options.

1.6 Battery Storage and Safety Precautions

Batteries should be stored at normal room temperature. Avoid placing them in any situation where

explosion or damage could possibly occur. The Li-Ion batteries may lose their charge if not used for

several months due to back up and internal resistance. If this happens, we suggest recharging prior to

use.

Remove Main Battery

To remove the main battery, press down on the release button while pushing out the cover on the unit.

We suggest that the battery not be removed, if possible.

Charging

When starting to operate the HT580, the main battery must be fully charged before the first use. The

HT580 is equipped with a 3.7V 600m.A.h Lithium-Ion battery. It takes 8 hours to fully charge the main

battery when empty. We suggest users recharge the battery regularly after long hours of use.

This icon shown in the menu is to indicate the current battery capacity status.

There are 2 ways to charge the main battery:

1. Mount the unit in the cradle and connect power adaptor between the back of the cradle and any

power outlet.

2. Or, use the standard USB cable and connect it to your PC’s USB port.
