Maintenance and Care

Normal care

Shut down the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the Rugged PDA. Cleaning the Rugged PDA with the power on creates the danger of electric shock.

• Clean the Rugged PDA by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. If the Rugged PDA is very dirty, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent. Wring out all excess of moisture before wiping.

• Thinner, benzene, or other organic agents can cause deformation or discoloration of the Rugged PDA's case, and even malfunction of the Rugged PDA. Never use such agents when cleaning.

• Use only the stylus accompanied with the Rugged PDA (or specified by CASIO) for inputting on the LCD screen. Before using the stylus, remove any dirt from the tip of it and on the screen. Dirt if any may make an input with the stylus more difficult or damage on the screen. Also take care that you do not misplace or lose the stylus.

• Clean the Rugged PDA's LCD screen by wiping it with a soft, clean cloth. Never use water, neutral detergents, or chemically treated cloths to clean the screen. A dirty screen can interfere with response to stylus operations, and smooth movement of the stylus tip. The screen is easily scratched, so take care that you do not apply to much pressure when cleaning it.

Maintenance

Never remove the Rugged PDA's outer cover or otherwise try to take it apart or modify it in any way. High voltage inside the case creates the danger of electric shock.

In the following instances, immediately shut down the power, remove the battery pack, unplug the power plug from the power outlet, and contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor:

• Damaged power cord or plug

• Liquid leaking from the Rugged PDA

• Unit being dropped

• Damaged unit cover

• Very abnormal function

Never try to make any adjustments except as specifically instructed by this User's Guide. Improper adjustment or modification on the Rugged PDA can permanently damage it and make it impossible to restore normal operation. Never attempt to repair or modify this product in any way.

Storage

Follow the procedure below to put the Rugged PDA into storage.

Note

If you have used the Rugged PDA for a long period, it will have become dusty. We recommend cleaning it before putting it into storage. You can find information about cleaning in the previous section “Maintenance and Care.”

1. Back up all the data on the Rugged PDA to a computer if it is neces-

sary.

2. Turn off the power, remove all cables and remove the Rugged PDA

from the Basic Cradle and AC adaptor.

3. Remove the battery pack and insulate the battery pack terminals with

cellophane tape when you store it.

4. Carefully package the Rugged PDA so it does not get dirty or dam-

aged. The box that the Rugged PDA originally came in is a good box into which it can be packed.

Power Supply

The Rugged PDA uses an AC adaptor to connect to an outside power source or to recharge the batteries. Attach the battery pack and charge the Rugged PDA's battery until it is full to do the initial setup when using it for the first time or after not using it for a long period, and when the battery is low.

Caution!

Use the battery pack provided or a battery pack specified by the manufacture. Using a battery pack that is not

specified by the manufacturer may cause a fire.

Battery Pack

The Rugged PDA operates on a battery pack (lithium-ion battery) as its main battery, and has an internal backup battery to protect its memory when removing the battery pack. Note the following points when using the Rugged PDA.

Important! Read This Information!

• Turn off the Rugged PDA before replacing batteries.

• When the battery discharges beyond a set level, "Main battery remaining capacity low" or "Backup battery remaining capacity low" message appears. If this kind of messages appears, immediately charge either the battery pack or the backup battery depending on the displayed message.

• The "Main battery remaining capacity low" message's title bar can be shown in either blue when the remaining capacity is 30% or less or red when the remaining capacity is 10% or less. Do not replace the battery pack when the "Backup battery remaining capacity low" message appears. Data in the memory may be lost if it is replaced while the message appears on the screen.

Important

If the Rugged PDA with the battery pack being discharged has been left over for a long period, or if the battery pack is replaced incorrectly, data in the memory may be lost accidentally. We recommend backing up data in the memory to other memory device, such as the hard disk of a computer or a memory card. Refer to Help for ActiveSync for information about how to back up data to a computer.

• After removing the battery pack, cover the positive and negative terminals with cellophane tape or something similar so they are insulated before storing it.

Power Supply

Charging the Battery Pack

The AC adaptor is used not only to supply power from the AC power outlet but also to charge the battery pack. The battery pack is also charged while the Rugged PDA is in use (power is on) if the AC adaptor (provided) is connected with the battery pack inserted in the Rugged PDA.

A warning label like the one shown below is affixed to the battery pack. This warning label is intended to make you aware of possible dangers that you should always keep in mind whenever handling the battery pack.

DANGER!

HA-C21BAT

DANGER

.Never dispose of the battery by incineration

and never expose it to heat.

.Never try to take the battery apart ot otherwise try to modify

Important

• Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is between 0˚C to 40˚C. Charging the battery in an extremely cold location or in direct sunlight causes the battery to deteriorate or to leak fluid.

• If the battery is correctly charged, but the Rugged PDA operates for only a short time, the battery pack may have reached the end of its service life. If this happens, you need a new one to replace with the run-down battery pack.

• The battery pack may become warm while it is being charged or being used. This is normal for the battery pack and is not a malfunction.

• Never dispose of the battery by incineration and never expose it to heat.

• Never try to take the battery apart or otherwise try to modify it.

• Never allow (+) and (-) battery terminate to become shorted. For details, refer to Hardware Manual.

Note

The internal backup battery and the battery pack (main battery) have low capacity remained at time of purchase. Fully charge the batteries before using the Rugged PDA for the first time.

Charging the Battery with the AC Adaptor

Pull back the rubber cover from the AC adaptor jack and insert the cable. The battery pack takes about 5 hours (when the Rugged PDA is turned off) to fully charge, and then the left side indicator LED lights green. Under the same conditions, the built in backup battery takes four hours to fully charge.

Warning!

Use the AC adaptor specified by CASIO. Using the AC adaptor that is not specified may cause a fire.

Remove the AC adaptor cable in the following order q ➔ w ➔ e.

When the battery pack is fully charged, remove the AC adaptor cable and be sure to replace the

rubber cover to its original position.

If the left side indicator LED goes out during charging, then the internal protection circuit may have terminated charging. If this happens, remove the AC adaptor and the battery pack from the Rugged PDA and then reattach them again and then start charging again. If this happens frequently it may indicate a malfunction, contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor.

Note

• You can use the Rugged PDA while it is charging. However, the time to charge the Rugged PDA may vary greatly depending on the operations performed on the Rugged PDA (and the surrounding temperature or other factors).

• Charging requires a longer than normal time when doing initial setup after purchase or when charging a newly purchased battery pack for the first time.

Power Supply

Checking Remaining Battery Power

• You can check the remaining power level in the batteries on the "Power" screen. The battery loses power slowly even if the Rugged PDA is not being used. The battery may lose all power if the Rugged PDA is stored for a long period of time. We recommend checking the power level in the battery from time to time.

• Tap the ➔ Settings ➔ System ➔ Power icons, in that order, to display the

screen on the left.

Check the remaining battery power while the Rugged PDA is not connected to the AC adaptor.

• When the battery discharges beyond a certain level, an icon(status icon) indicating each battery's remaining capacity appears in the navigation bar.

Important

Status Icon (See page 45)

Even if you are not using the Rugged PDA you should charge the batteries once every two weeks to prevent them from deteriorating.

Using the AC Adaptor

The battery attached to the Rugged PDA charges when the AC adaptor is attached. Besides charging the battery pack with the AC adaptor, we recommend attaching the AC adaptor to the Rugged PDA when performing one of the following operations that consume power from the battery pack.

• When using the Rugged PDA hooked up to a computer.

• When operating wireless LAN on the Rugged PDA.

• When using the Rugged PDA with a compact flash card (especially when

backing up data on the Rugged PDA to the card).

Warning!

Use the AC adaptor specified by CASIO. Using the AC adaptor that is not specified may cause a fire.

Important

• Be careful not to trip on the AC adaptor's power cord.

• Hold the Rugged PDA's power cord by the connector (not the cable) and pull it straight out of the power adaptor jack.

• Dust may collect on the AC adaptor's power cord if it is plugged into an electric power socket for a long time. Clean off the dust periodically.

Entering Text Using the Input Panel

Use the input panel to enter information in any program on the Rugged PDA. You can either type using the soft keyboard or write using Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer, or Transcriber. In either case, the characters appear as typed text on the screen.

To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel button. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button to see your choices.

When you use the input panel, the Rugged PDA anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use the Rugged PDA, the more words it learns to anticipate.

Initial Setup

Word Completion options:

The Rugged PDA intelligently will attempt to guess at or predict the full word that you're entering by doing a dictionary lookup. When you purchase the Rugged PDA, a default set of words is installed. However, as you begin using the Rugged PDA and begin using words not in that dictionary, they are automatically added to a custom user dictionary that is also searched by the word completion feature. To change how word completion works, select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area

and tap Options. Tap the Word Completion tab.

These options allow you to turn word completion on or off, allow you to adjust at what point the full word should be predicted, and whether or not text should be replaced while you type.

To type with the soft keyboard:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard.

2. On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus.

The soft keyboard can be used in two modes: large and small. Large mode gives the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; small mode gives you special commands like backspace and forward space in the form of onscreen keys rather than stylus-based gestures.

By default, small keyboard with on-screen special commands is provided. This looks much like a standard QWERTY keyboard found on your desktop PC.

Here is the large keyboard without gestures enabled. Notice the absence of numerical keys.

Finally, here is large keyboard with gestures enabled.

Initial Setup

1. To space forward, swipe horizontally in a forward direction with stylus on

the keyboard.

2. To move backwards, swipe horizontally in a backwards direction with

stylus on the keyboard.

3. To carriage return, swipe vertically downwards with stylus on the

keyboard.

4. To shift + key, swipe vertically upwards with stylus on the keyboard and

hit any key on the keyboard.

To adjust soft keyboard options:

Select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area Keyboard is selected as the input method.

and tap Options. Be sure

This screen allows you to make the keyboard small or large and enable gestures with large keyboard as described above.

To use Letter Recognizer:

With Letter Recognizer you can write letters using the stylus just as you would on paper.

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Letter Recog-

nizer.

2. Write a letter in the box.

As you can see, the screen has been broken into three segments. The first allows you to enter upper-case letters; the second lower-case letters, and the third numbers. This is done to increase accuracy of recognition of your handwriting. Click on the enter into your text.

Quick Stroke lets you write all letters using one stroke. While this method will allow you to write faster, it requires learning how to form letters in a new way.

Right to left crossbar should be enabled if you form crossbars on the letters 't', 'f', and '+' from right to left instead of left to right.

Allow accented characters will force the recognizer to predict whether your inputted characters should have accent marks. For example, á.

To use Block Recognizer:

With Block Recognizer you can input character strokes using the stylus that are similar to those used on other devices.

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Block Recog-

nizer.

2. Write a letter in the box.

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. Click on the enter into your text.

Initial Setup

To select typed text

If you want to edit or format typed text, you must select it first.

• Drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding the selected words and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu.

Entering a date in an application

Many applications ask you for a date as input, such as "September 14, 1981". All the standard Rugged PDA applications use the same form to assist in this process.

First, click on the arrow to the right of the date field.

Next, select the date by moving among months using the arrows in the upper leftand right-hand corners. You can always select the current day by clicking

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you've written and convert the information to text at a later time.

To write on the screen:

• Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.

Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button.

Note

To select writing:

If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.

See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.

1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the

insertion point appears.

2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

Initial Setup

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.

To convert writing to text:

• Tap Tools and then Recognize.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recog- nize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tips for getting good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Initial Setup

Drawing on the Screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.

To create a drawing:

• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

Note

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom level.

To select a drawing:

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.

• Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.

You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

Support for Clip-on Keyboards

The Rugged PDA works to make your computing session more productive when you've installed a snap-on keyboard on the Rugged PDA. Not only does entering text become much faster with a physical keyboard, but a large number of standard keyboard shortcut commands (like CTRL+C, copy; CTRL+Z, undo; CTRL+V, paste; etc.) are just a few easy clicks away. Additionally, most the Rugged PDA applications built for the latest operating system now support keyboard mnemonics, meaning menu items are accessible without ever needing to use the stylus on the screen.

Consider the above pop-up menu from the Notes application. As you can see, by merely tapping the "R" key on the keyboard, any selected text will be recognized. No need to use the stylus! Keyboard support will allow you to keep one hand free to perform other tasks.

Initial Setup

Recording a Message

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.

To create a recording:

Bluetooth

Bluetooth® is wireless communication technology that uses the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz band to transfer data. The Rugged PDA comes with Bluetooth

technology built in, which provides it with the capability of performing high-speed, high-stability short-range wireless communication.

Two Rugged PDAs with Bluetooth

intehrated do not need to be aligned with each other in

order to connect.

When Bluetooth

is turned on, two Rugged PDAs that are within three meters distance of each other will be able to perform the following types of data send and receive operations.

• Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, etc. exchange

• File transfer

• Connection to a Bluetooth

• Connection with another Bluetooth

wireless LAN

device

Important Precautions

The radio waves emitted by a Bluetooth® device can affect the operation of medical equipment, etc. In some cases, this can even lead to a serious accident. To prevent this, turn off either the Rugged PDA or the Bluetooth functions in the areas described below. In hospital, train, aircraft, in gasoline station or any other area where flammable gas is generated, near automatic door, or fire alarm devices.

Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication

Note the following information, which can help you ensure successful Bluetooth data communication.

• Make sure the Rugged PDA is visible from and within about 3 meters of the other Bluetooth ing on the local environment (if there are walls and furniture in the path, or radio wave is emitted by other Bluetooth the building where you are located. Ferroconcrete structures in particular can cause problems, because iron reinforcements between floors and in walls can make communication impossible. Perform data communication at least two meters from other devices (electric appliances, AV equipment, office equipment, digital cordless telephones, facsimiles, etc.) Microwave ovens in particular can cause problems, so the distance should be increased to at least three meters. Turning on the power of another device that is too close can interfere with proper communication, TV and radio interference, and reception interference (in particular, distortion of certain UHF or broadcast satellite channel TV images). If proper communication is not possible in the vicinity of a transmitter, wireless device, or other device, move to another location. Very strong radio waves in the area can make proper communication impossible.

devices. The communication range may be shorter depend-

device, etc.), and the structure of

Wireless LAN Radio Interference

Since Bluetooth® devices and wireless LANs (IEEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency band, using the Rugged PDA in the vicinity of a wireless LAN enabled device can generate radio interference, which can result in slower communication speeds and even make connection impossible. If this happens, take the following steps.

• Move the Rugged PDA so it is at least 10 meters from the wireless LAN enabled device.

• If you must use one of the two devices within 10 meters of the other, turn off either the Rugged PDA or the wireless LAN.

The Bluetooth Version 1.2 built into the Rugged PDA allows simultaneous use of wireless LAN and Bluetooth communication. However, communication may not be possible due to the surrounding electromagnetic fields.

Bluetooth

Wireless LAN

The IT-10M20BR* supports connection to an 802.11b wireless LAN, or to a wireless LAN compatible peripheral. For example, you could connect to a hot spot at a train station or other public facility, access the Internet and send or receive e-mail, or access a company network. See "Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication" on page 95 for more information.

Using a Wireless Communication

Warning

• The use of wireless communication devices and electronic devices in aircraft is recommended to consult first with flight attendant prior to the use.

• Do not use wireless communication devices in the vicinity of automatic doors, fire alarm devices, or other automatic control equipment. Radio waves from wireless communication devices can cause mis-operation of the equipment, leading to serious accident.
