Care & Maintenance
This section is specifically prepared for those who are in charge of taking care of the terminal, such as a
terminal operator or maintenance engineer.
Here are some tips on how to take care and maintain the terminal.
Taking care of the terminal
Always keep electric equipments, such as the terminal, away from any flammable sources.
Always make sure there is stable power supply for the terminal or its peripherals to operate properly.
This terminal is intended for industrial use. Although the terminal is rated IP 64, it may do damage to the
terminal when being exposed to extreme temperatures or soaked wet.
When the body of the terminal gets dirty, use a clean and wet cloth to wipe off the dust. DO NOT use/mix
any bleach or cleaner. Always keep the LCD dry.
For a liquid crystal display (LCD) or touch screen, DO NOT use any pointed or sharp object to move
against the surface. Use a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to wipe dust off the screen.
Maintaining the terminal
If you want to put away the terminal for a period of time, download the collected data to a host first, and
then take out the battery pack. Store the terminal and battery pack separately.
When the terminal resumes its work, the main and backup batteries will take a certain time to become
fully charged.
If you shall find the terminal malfunctioning, refer to the Troubleshooting section for self help first.
If the problem persists, write down the specific scenario and consult your local sales representative.
Under no circumstances, internal components are self-serviceable.

Getting Started
Below illustrates how to have the terminal ready to work. This scenario makes use of a cradle, which may be
replaced by a gang charger and other interface to PC.

1.3 Features
1.3.1 Power
¾ Main Battery
The CPT-8500 is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/4000 mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it
takes approximately four hours to fully charge it. During normal operation, the terminal can
work for up to 500 hours.
For power saving purpose, always turn off the backlight while working in a well-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 4.1.5 Power
)
¾ Backup Battery
In addition, one 3.0 V/7 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell on the main board retains
data in SRAM and maintains the running of the real-time clock and calendar. It takes at least
twenty-four hours to fully charge the backup battery.
For a fully charged backup battery, it can last for at least one week. However, it is not
necessary to fully charge the backup battery for the terminal to work.
Monitor voltage level (see 4.1.5 Power
)
¾ Initial Charging
The main battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. Because
the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the initial charging
requires installing the battery pack to the terminal and then seating the terminal in the cradle
for charging. This will have main/backup batteries charged at the same time.
Note: For initial charging, we recommend that you install the main battery to the terminal
and seat the terminal in the cradle to charge the main/backup batteries at the same
time. It requires approximately 4 hours fully charging the main battery.
8 Industrial CPT-8500 Reference Manual
¾ Caution of Low Battery Charge
The battery pack is the only 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, replace the battery pack with a charged
one or charge it as soon as possible. Always save data before it is too late.
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.
1.3.2 CPU
A 32-bit low power CMOS CPU is utilized.
1.3.3 Memory & Calendar
The CPT-8500 is a real-time data collection model, that is, the collected data will be sent
back to a host computer immediately during normal operation.
An optional memory card upgrades memory to 4 or 8 megabytes. With upgradeable
memory, the terminal can further accommodate one or more application programs.
Note: When in use, the memory card will override the internal SRAM.
Program Memory
9 2 megabytes flash memory for core, OS, application programs, fonts, etc.
Data Memory
9 2 megabytes SRAM with contents backup by a 7 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell.
Calendar
9 A calendar chip is equipped for accurate time/date logging.
9 Non-stop operation is also provided through the same Li button cell for SRAM contents backup.
Chapter 1 Introducing CPT-8500 9
¾ Caution of Data Loss
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 the calendar for at least one week,
on condition that the backup battery has already been fully charged.
If the terminal is to be put away for a couple of days, you should be aware that data loss
occurs when both the main and backup batteries discharge completely. Therefore, it is
necessary to save data in a host computer before putting away the terminal.
Note: Being fully charged, the backup battery can last at least 1 week.
1.3.4 Keyboard
The terminal is equipped with a keypad of either 24 keys or 44 keys, which has
programmable LED backlight, for system setup, user entry and so on.
Silicon rubber has been chosen for their durability and prompt feedback. The key click can
be configured through the System Menu.
Note: Functionality of keys is application-dependent.
¾ Screen Icons
The following icons appear on the screen when a certain mode is activated, that is, holding
down the specific key is unnecessary. Simply press another key or red-coded function key
([F1] ~ [F12]) to produce a result.
24-key

When the 802.11b module is installed, the terminal can easily connect to legacy networks
through access points (APs). Roaming among different networks is possible.
IEEE 802.11b is an industrial standard for Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN),
which enables wireless communications over a long distance.
The speed of connection between two wireless devices will vary with range and signal
quality. To maintain a reliable connection, the 802.11b system automatically fallback
from 11 Mbps to 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps as range increases or signal quality decreases.
An 802.11b network can operate in the following two modes:

¾ Splash & Dust
The Ingress Protection (IP) rating is often used to indicate the protection afforded by
enclosures of an electronic device, and an IP number specifies the protection level. The first
number (0~6) refers to the protection against solid objects and the second (0~8) against
liquids. The higher the number is, the better the protection afforded.
For industrial environments, it can be very damp and dusty. Thus, the terminal is sealed
against moisture and dust to industry standard IP64.
