USING THE 2166 UHF READER

REMOVING/INSTALLING THE BATTERY

To remove the battery, locate the screw on the Battery Cover and rotate it anti-clockwise using a mid-sized coin.

The Battery Cover can then be removed. The battery and ‘Battery Pull Tab’ will now be visible. Use the ‘Battery Pull

Tab’ to slide the battery out.

Rotate ‘Battery Cover Screw’ anti-clockwise

by about two thirds of a turn.

To install the battery, ﬁrst orientate the battery so that the electrical contacts on the battery line up with the contacts

inside the 2166 battery cavity. Slide the battery into the battery cavity, then replace the Battery Cover. Make sure

that the ‘Battery Pull Tab’ does not get stuck between the battery cover and the battery cavity - if this happens then

the environmental sealing will be compromised.

Locking the Battery Cover

To lock the battery cover, lightly tighten the ‘Battery Cover Screw’ in a clockwise direction using a mid-sized coin.

Do not over-tighten the screw as this will damage the seal.

Lightly rotate the ‘Battery Cover Screw’ clockwise until the padlock symbol meets the arrow. Do not over-

tighten or you will risk damaging the seal.

CHARGING AND USB CONNECTION

Setting up the 2166 Docking Station Kit

The 2166 UHF Reader kit uses a dedicated Docking Station for charging and synchronisation. The Docking Station

Kit includes the dock, a power supply unit and a Mini USB cable. A separately purchased IEC mains cable is also

required. The Mini USB cable and power cable are inserted into the 2166 Docking Station in the orientation shown

below. Note that both cables plug into the back of the docking station at a slight upwards angle.

Figure 5: Inserting the 2166 UHF Reader into the 2166 Docking Station

Using the 2166 Docking Station

To dock the 2166 UHF Reader, slide it into the docking station in the direction shown:

USING THE 2166 UHF READER

BUTTON OPERATION

The 2166 UHF Reader has a Primary button action and a Secondary button action which can be initiated by

different button clicks: By default, the Primary action scans for UHF transponders, whilst the Secondary action

initiates the barcode scanner (Barcode scanning is only available with the 2D Imager Antenna variant). Which

operation is performed depends on the way in which the button is pressed. The Single and Double press button

options are also programmable.

Primary Button Click and Hold

- UHF Transponder Read

The primary button click is a standard button action:

●To initiate a primary button click press and hold the trigger button.

●To terminate a primary button click release the trigger button.

In the default conﬁguration the 2166 UHF Reader scans for UHF transponders as the primary function. The 2166

UHF Reader will continue to scan for UHF transponders while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning once the

button is released (and the current operation completes).

Secondary Button Double Click and Hold

– Barcode Scan (2D Imager Variant only)

The secondary button click is a single click quickly followed by a second press (press-release-press).

●To initiate a secondary button click press then release then press and hold the trigger button.

●To terminate a secondary button click release the trigger button.

In the default conﬁguration the 2166 UHF Reader scans for barcodes as the secondary function. The 2166 UHF

Reader will continue to scan for a barcode while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning when any of the

following conditions are met:

●A barcode is scanned.

●The button is released.

●The barcode engine times out.
