Introduction
INITIAL CHARGING
SETTING LOCAL TIME
POWER MANAGEMENT
The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first
receive the package, you will need to charge the main battery to full before using the
Terminal. Instead of direct charging.
Note: Battery charging stops when the t emp e ra t u r e drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It
is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for
optimal performance. For initial charging, it takes approximately 2.5 hours to
charge the battery to full (from the adaptor).
Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the
initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the Terminal for ch arging. This will
have both the main and backup batteries charged at the same time. It takes at least 72
hours to fully charge the backup battery. However, it is not nec essa ry t o full y charg e th e
backup battery for the Terminal to work.
Note: In order to charge the backup battery to full, you must insert the main battery and
leave it for at least 72 hours, whether the Terminal is in use or not.
If you need to set your local ti me, go to System Menu | 2. S ettings | 1. Clock. Refer
to 3.2.1 Clock
.
For any port ab le device, p ower management is a critical is su e especially when you are on
the road. Below are some tips to help you save battery power.
Warning: Using backlight, wireless connectivity, and peripherals while on battery
power will substantially reduce battery power.
To speed up charging the Terminal, turn off the Terminal and use the
charging/communication cable.
Bring a second battery pack on the road.
Stop wireless connectivity, Bluetooth or 802.11b/g/n that is not in use.
Go t o System Menu | 2. Settings | 2. Backlight, and configure backlight period,
luminosity, as well as the shade effect. Refer to 3.2.2 Backlight

The Terminal is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/1200 mAh Li-ion battery pack. When
the Terminal is turn ed on, it takes approx. 2.5 hours to charge it to full from the power
adaptor (using cable) or approx. 4 hours from the USB cable (at 500 mA).
For power-saving purpose, always turn off the back light whil e working in a wel l-lit area.
When the backlight is on for extended periods of time, the main battery will become low
sooner than expected.
The smart battery icon on the LCD screen shows the status of power consumption. There
are two ways to monitor a low battery charge or discharged battery from the screen.

8200 Series Mobile Computer Reference Manual
1.1.2 BACKUP BATTERY
1.1.3 CAUTION OF LOW BATTERY CHARGE
The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is removed or
drained out. When fully charged, the 3.0 V/18 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell
helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the running of the real-time clock and cal endar
for at least 25 days wi thout the main battery. In the meantime, you ha ve to repl ace the
main battery as soon as possible. It takes at least 72 hours to fully charge the backup
battery. However, it is not necessary to fully charge the backup battery for the Terminal
to work.
Monitor voltage level (see 3.5 Power)
The battery p ack is the onl y power source for the Terminal to work. It also charges the
backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be retained
properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to replace the
battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possi ble. Mo st of all , you should
upload important data on a regular basis.
Warning: Data loss may occur with SRAM during low battery condition. Always save
data before running out of power or keep a fresh battery for replacement.

1.2.3 SD CARD
The collected data can be sent back to a host computer immediately over wireless
networks, or stored in memory (SRAM) and upload later. The Terminal is equipped with a
calendar chip for accurate time/date logging. When the main battery is removed or
drained, the backup battery on the main board is to retain the contents of SRAM and
maintain the running of real-time clock and calendar for at leas t 25 days, on condition
that the backup battery has already been fully charged.
If you want to put away the Terminal for a couple of days, you should be aware that data
loss occurs when b oth t he main and ba ckup bat teries di scharg e compl etely. Th erefor e, it
is necessary to upload data and files before putting away the Terminal!

1.6 DATA CAPTURE
Symbologies Supported (Default Setting: Enable/Disable)
CCD/Laser
2D
A wide variety of scan engines is available for delivering flexibility to meet different
requirements. Depending on the scan engine integrated, the Terminal is capable of
scanning barcodes of a number of symbologies that are enabled by default while running
the preloaded AG runtime. Refer to 3.3.1 Reader
for functional test.
If you need to scan barcodes that are encoded in a symbology, which is disabled by
default in AG runtime, FORGE Applicat ion Gene rator (ForgeAG.exe) allows configuring
symbology settings, as well as reader settings. First, enable the desired symbologies, and
then, download the application settings to the Terminal.
Note: For details on configuring reader and symbology settings, please refer to the
documentation of the software you use.
Varying by the scan engine installed, the supported sym bologies are listed below.
1D CCD scan engine
1D Lase r scan en g i n e
2D scan engine
Note: In AG or CipherNet runtime, not all of the symbologies are enabled by default.
Instead of running a ny of them , you ca n devel op your ow n appli cations to control
the scan engine for data collection.
