for about 0.5 seconds to turn on the unit. Also push the Power Switch Button for about 1
seconds to turn off the unit. After the unit is turned on, the power would be turned off
automatically if there is no swiping a card on the unit in 15 seconds (Initial value). This means
the unit would be turned off if no swiping a card again in every 15 seconds (Initial value) after
every card swiping. It would have Low Battery Detect/Warning indication when the unit is
powered by battery.
2. Powered by Cable ( Pls refer to the remarks Connect to PC in page 8. )
3. Real Time Clock Setting
4. Low Battery Dectect
When the unit is connected with the PC through the communication Cable (WAS-1543) and the
PC is running MINI123 software and open the COM PORT for the unit, then the unit will be
turned on in about 0.5 second by the PC through the RS-232 COM PORT. Then you can do the
unit Setting, Configuration or data downloading. When the software closes the COM PORT or
exits, the power turn off from the PC immediately. When powered by cable from PC, the Power
Switch would have no function and the unit would have no Low Battery Detect/Warning
function.
Before start using the unit, you must set the Real Time Clock (RTC) inside the unit to your local
time. If there is no battery for quite a while or it is powered by cable for quite a while, this
would cause Real Time clock (RTC) malfunctioned due to no power supply. When put on the
battery to turn on the unit and the Red/Green LED take turns blinking, this means the RTC is
malfunctioning and you must do the RTC time setting before you use the unit.
