Chapter 2 Getting Started

This chapter introduces basic operations to use the mobile data terminal, such as installation of battery,
SD Card and SIM Card, and Standby/Wakeup.

2.1 Battery Installation and Recharging

Battery installation steps (Figure2-1-1):

1) Unscrew to open the back cov er with screwdriver.

2) Open the back cover.

3) Insert the battery; bottom first, into the battery compartment in the ba ck.

4) Close the back cover.

5) Fasten the screws.

Figure2-1-1 Battery Installation Steps

Note: The C5000 Series ships with a 4000 mAh battery;

Position the battery correctly, with the battery charging contacts on top of the charging
contacts in the battery compartment.

7

Battery Recharging

1) Use AC Adapter to recharge by 220V AC power sockets.

(Figure2-1-2):

There are two methods to rech ar ge battery:

2) Use USB cable to recharge by PC.

Figure2-1-2 Battery Recharging

LED Indicators

Note:

1. If the terminal standby, the LED indicators will not on no matter charging or not.

2. When battery very low till cannot turn on, please charge at least 30 minutes, then try to turn on; when
charging, the terminal would perform in turns like this:

no response->display “Lo w bat t ery ”->c an b e

turned on->full battery

:

The LED indicators are on the upper right of the terminal, totally 3 LEDs.

1) When charging, the left 2 LEDs on, as Figure2-1-3;

2) When battery full, only the middle LED on, as Figure 2-1-4;

3) When battery low, only the right LED on, as Figure2-1-5;

2.2 SD Card (TF Card)

Attention: The Micro SD card is standard accessory, which contains backup system firmware;

ple ase do not pick i t out, change its data, or format it without guidance by f actory.

SD card installation steps:

1) Ensure the device is powe r off and in non-recharging status.

2) Unscrew the battery cov er and t hen open the back cover.

3) Take out battery.

4) Place the SD card correctly, pay attention to the posit ions (Figure2-2-1, the slot at right).

5) Place the battery back and close the back cover.

8

6) Fasten the screws.
After the SD card is installed successfully, you can s ee an
icon named “Storage Card” when open “My Device”. You
can open it to get the files stored.

Figure2-2-1 SIM Card & SD Card Slot Figure2-2-2 Storage Card Icon

2.3 SIM Card

The SIM card installation steps are similar with SD card:

1) Ensure the device is power off and in non-recharging status.

2) Unscrew the battery cover and then open the back cover .

3) Take out battery

4) Place SIM card onto SAM2 sl ot (Figure2-3, the middle slot), push the lid downward and open it, then
place the SIM card correct ly int o t he slot and push the lid upward to fasten.

5) Place back the battery and close t he back cover.

6) Fasten the screws.
Please refer to chapter 4 “GPRS” to get how t o use SIM card.

2.4 Standby/Wakeup

There is a red button on keyboard; it is the Standby/Wakeup button.
You can press this button to switch the status Standby or Wakeup. When standby, the screen will be dark
and all modules stop working. The standby current is less than 5mA.

Note: It is better to standby when recharging, then the battery will be full faster .
Attention: do not press this button frequently within a short period of time, which may cause damages to
the screen and data.

4.2 UHF Reader

The UHF antenna can be open ed or cl osed when using (Figure4-2-1, Figure4-2-2).

Figure4-2-1 UHF Tag Reading Figure4-2-2 RF ID S ensing Area

4.2.1 Parameters

1) Protocol: ISO 18000-6C

2) Frequency: 840~960M Hz

The UHF module support s 4 frequency modes:

 Chinese 920-925MHz;
 Chinese 840-845MHz;
 ETSI 865-868MHz;
 Fixed Mode 915MHz;

Default frequency is Chinese 920~925MHz; you can change the frequency mode yourself, but
antenna’s frequency is fixed by factory, so if you want other frequency mode (e.g. Europe frequency
ETSI 865~868MHz), please declare that when ordering.

3) Power: 10~30dBm; you can change it yourself; we recommend you setting to 24 or 25dBm.

4) Antenna Gain: 3dBi.

5) Reading/Writing R ange: it depends on the tags, the power and the frequency.

Different tags may have different range, because they are different designed and encapsulated;
More power, longer range; if more than 25dBm, the range does not get longer obviously;
Range gets longer if UHF modu le frequency, UHF antenna frequency, and t ag frequency accordant;

4.2.2 UHF T ags
The standard UHF tags with ISO 18000-6C has 4 blocks named as:

 Reserved: 8 bytes, first 4 bytes is Kill Password, last 4 bytes is Access Password
 UII (EPC): CRC(2 bytes)+PC(Protocol Control, 2 bytes)+EPC(12 bytes)
 TID: defined by factory, ca nnot be changed; it is the unique number of tag
 User: has different size by different factory, some even doe s not has t his memory

Please refer to the Figure 4-2-3 about logical memory map:

9.2 Battery Safety Guidelines

• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non-commercial
environment.

• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user’s guide.

• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.

• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be between +32

F and +113 F (0 and +45 C).

• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the
compatibility of a battery or a charger, contact Chainway technical support.

• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be connected to
products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

• To enable authentication of an approved battery, as required by IEEE1725 clause 10.2.1, all
batteries will carry a Chainway hologram. Do not fit any battery without checking it has the

45

Chainway authenticatio n hol ogr am.

• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.

• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the

battery to overheat.

• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery
terminals.

• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or
expose to water or other liquids, or exp ose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.

• Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked
vehicle or near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or
dryer.

• Battery usage by children should be supervised.

• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.

• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If

contact has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical
advice.

• If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact Chainway t o ar r ange f or inspection.
