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

 Go t o System Menu | 2. Settings | 4. Auto Off, and configure the amount of idle

time that must pass before the system will shut down automatically. Refer to

Auto Off.

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.

 Examine the level of the 4-bar battery icon  Monitor voltage level (see 3.5 Power)

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

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.
