SPT 1500 Product Reference Guide
t Do not store or use your SPT 1500 terminal in any location that is extremely dusty,
damp or wet.
t Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your SPT 1500 terminal. If the surface of the SPT
1500 terminal screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a
diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery Considerations
Please note the following considerations when replacing the batteries in your SPT 1500
terminal:
t Under normal conditions, your SPT 1500 terminal batteries should provide several
months of use. You can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight
feature, and changing the “Auto-off after” setting that automatically turns the SPT
1500 terminal off after a period of inactivity (see General Preferences on page 11-6).
Note: When scanner is in use, battery life is shorter, and depends on the
number of scans performed per minute.
t If the batteries become low while using the scanner application, the scanner
application de-activates, but the other functions still work until another low battery
alert occurs. When the scanner de-activates, you should perform a HotSync
synchronization to back up your data before replacing the batteries. This helps
prevent accidental data loss.
t Similarly, if the batteries become low in the course of normal use, an alert appears
on the SPT 1500 terminal screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert
appears, perform a HotSync
® synchronization to back up your data before you
replace the batteries.
t
When replacing the batteries, begin by turning your SPT 1500 terminal off (so there
is no screen display). Never remove the batteries while your SPT 1500 terminal is
turned on.
t When replacing the batteries, always use good quality batteries of the same type. Use
only alkaline batteries with your SPT 1500 terminal.
t When you remove the batteries, the built-in backup power of your SPT 1500
terminal maintains memory data for a period of up to one minute. Whenever you
remove the batteries, replace them immediately. If you encounter any difficulties in
the course of battery replacement, reinstall the original batteries and wait a few
minutes for the backup power to recharge.
