Introduction The 7001 RF Terminal is a low cost, easy-to-use radio frequency interactive terminal which communicates with PCs (or any computer) by RS-232 serial port. This new terminal offers unprecedented power and ease of use, while maintaining compatibility with programs written for the older Worth Data Terminals. The list of fantastic features include: • Low Cost • Up to 3.3 mile range, LOS (10 x the competition) • 64 Terminals per Base Station • Spread Spectrum frequency hopping avoids i

• Speaker volume is controlled by the RF Terminal's Setup menu. • The 7000 Series does not have a choice of battery types. It comes with a built-in Li-Ion rechargeable battery. The battery is charged by the same power supply that is used with the Base Station. An adapter cable is provided to allow connection to the RF Terminal. • Voice prompts are now recorded on the PC and uploaded to the RF Terminal using the Voice Prompt utility. Up to 99 voice prompts can be stored in the RF Terminal

Installation Components The components in your R/F Terminal system will vary according to the configuration of your system. Your R/F Terminal shipment should contain at least: • An RF Terminal T7001 or LT7001 - If the R/F Terminal is an LT7001 model, it will have an integrated laser scanner built-in to the body of the terminal. • Serial Cable – for programming and voice prompt upload. • 5V Power Supply – battery charger with adapter cable. • Utilities CD ROM – demo programs, DLL, and firmware

out to the serial port, which then passes this data on to the Base station. The Base station then broadcasts the message to the terminal, causing the terminal to display the message to the user. The Base station is not machine-sensitive (it needs a standard RS-232 serial port) nor is it operating system dependent (you just need to be able to read and write to the serial port as a separate device). Connecting the Base station… If you specified a 25 pin cable (part #F34) or a 9 pin cable (par

R/F Terminal Operation Using the RF Terminal keypad… The R/F Terminal is turned on by pressing the green ON/OFF button located in the upper left- hand corner of the R/F Terminal keypad. It is a good idea to fully charge the R/F Terminal before you use it the first time to make sure the battery charged. See below for more information on battery charging. The R/F Terminal has a Shut Down Time feature that allows you to determine the length of time the R/F Terminal must be inactive before automa

be significantly shorter than when the device was new, the battery should be replaced. If you have the optional “gun” handle with the extended battery then both batteries should be replaced at the same time. The main battery is a common digital camera battery sold as Fujifilm NP-120 or Pentax D-LI7. We use a high quality Japanese Li-Ion cell in our OEM pack that we supply with the R/F Terminal. You can obtain a replacement from Worth Data (P/N: L02) . Our pack is rated at 1950 mAh and pr

The entire mode menu can be skipped (see Chapter 2; RF System Setup), causing the R/F Terminal to automatically SIGN-ON or go to ONE-WAY mode on power up. Installing the RF Terminal Utilities Software The RF Terminal system ships with a CD of programs for use with the RF Terminal and Base station.

RF System Setup The RF Terminal can be configured using the Terminal Setup Menu. Most users do not need to change anything in the setup. The most commonly changed setup parameters are the Terminal ID (especially if you have more than 1 terminal) and the Channel (if you are adding an additional Base station).

RF Terminal Channel 0 Default Channel • The terminal's radio operates by "frequency hopping" spread spectrum. The radios hop from one frequency to another using a pseudo-random sequence. The radio goes through 26 different frequencies and then repeats the sequence – all in the 902-928 MHz band at 250 milliwatts of power. Different sequences

• Several special keys on the RF Terminal keypad can generate a response automatically, sending a separate message to the host by simply pressing the appropriate control key (without pressing the ENTER key afterward). This allows for simple and fast scrolling by the operator. The arrow keys, Begin, End, and Search are the specific keys supported. The default setting is to require the ENTER key to be pressed before data transmission. • If you set this feature to ON, in order for the RF Termi

Enable transmission (6) will send the check digit data along with the rest of the bar code data to your computer. To use 6, you must also be using 5. • Caps Lock ON causes lower case letters read as data to be transmitted to the computer as UPPER CASE, and upper case letters to be transmitted as LOW
