Xenon/Granit User Guide 335
Change a Granit Scanner Battery
1. Twist the tab in the bottom of the end cap and
open the hinged battery door. (When new, the bat-
tery door may stick. Use pliers to twist the tab and
open the door until it loosens up.)
2. Remove the battery from the handle.
3. Insert replacement battery.
4. Close the battery door and twist the tab to lock it.
Note: The battery door is designed to pop off the hinge if the scanner is dropped while
changing a battery. If this occurs, simply snap it back on.
Troubleshoot a Corded Scanner
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to
try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aimer on?
If the aimer isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
• The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a
key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
• You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to
output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 161 for further
information.
