2.8 Notes on barcode reader and RFID reader

Current consumption in battery operation
You can reduce the off-state battery power consumption of your device to the minimum by
disabling the Intel® AMT in the BIOS. As a precaution, you should remove the battery from
the device if you are planning on not operating the device for several months. Ideal storage
conditions for the battery pack: Ambient temperature of approximately 20 °C and battery
charging state of approximately 50%.
Note
The battery pack may by completely or partially discharged (e.g. due to self-discharge) during
commissioning. Prior to completion of the discharge, when merely a residual charge is
existent, the LED battery in the battery operation lights up red as a warning. End your work
and save your data. There are now only a few minutes battery running time left.
Please note that for a complete disconnection from the electricity supply network the power
plug must be pulled out.
Service life of the battery
Due to the technology used, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery used in the device
reduces with each charge/discharge process. A gradual reduction in capacity also takes place
if stored at too high or too low temperatures. The operating times of one battery charge in a
network-independent operation can therefore gradually reduce over time.
The battery has a typical life span of c. 300 charges and is therefore designed in such a way
that with standard handling within six months after purchase of your device it can still be
charged and discharged. A loss of capacity over time is technology-dependent and, as with all
manufacturers of comparable devices, it is excluded from the warranty. In the case of a
significant drop of efficiency we recommend that you replace the battery. Use only Siemens
original spare parts.
You should note the following with regard to the life span of the battery:
• If possible, the battery should always be completely discharged/charged.
• Frequency of use: The more often the battery is used, the faster it reaches the end of its
effective life span. A lithium-ion battery has a typical life of around 300 charge cycles.
2.8 Notes on barcode reader and RFID reader
The barcode reader and RFID reader used are open systems that are freely configurable.
Various options are available to increase industrial security.
