BATTERY
The main battery may not be charged to full for shipment. Charge the main battery to full
before using the mobile computer for the first time.
Main battery: The main battery powers the mobile computer to work. It takes
approximately 4 hours to charge an empty 3000mAh main battery to full while it takes
6 hours to charge an 6000mAh main battery. For the first time charging the main
battery, please charge it for at least 8 to 12 hours. The charging LED above the screen
will light up in red while charging and will turn green when charging is complete.
When the main battery is removed, RTC retention will be maintained for at least 30
minutes.
Backup battery: The backup battery is mounted on the main board. Its role is to
temporarily keep the mobile computer in suspension when the main battery is drained
out so data in DRAM will be retained. The backup battery takes approximately 4 hours to
charge to full by the main battery or power adapter.
The allowed battery charging ambient temperature is between 0°C to 45°C. It is
recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal
performance.
Please note that battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or
exceeds 45°C.
In order to prevent system from shutting down after the battery is drained out, keep a
fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the mobile computer to an external
power.
If there are drippings or dust on the device or battery pack, wipe them away with a soft
clean cloth before battery replacement.
Turn off the power before battery replacement.
If you want to put away the mobile computer for a period of time, remove the battery
pack from the mobile computer’s battery compartment. Store the mobile computer and
battery pack separately.
Recycle batteries in a proper way for the green-environment issue.
SCANNER

1) Open ReaderConfig and tap Scan Test on the menu bar.
2) Aim the scanning window at the barcode to read. Move the device, having the barcode
located in the center of the scanning area.
3) Press any of the two side triggers. The scanning light beams to read the printed barcodes.
The buzzer beeps after scanning. The scanning light goes off once the data is decoded,
or when the decode timeout period has passed.
Scan a 2D barcode
1) Open ReaderConfig and tap Scan Test on the menu bar.
2) Aim the scanning window at the barcode to read. Move the device, having the barcode
located in the center of the scanning area.
3) Press any of the two side triggers. The scanning light beams to read the printed barcodes.
The buzzer beeps after scanning. The scanning light goes off once the data is decoded,
or when the decode timeout period has passed.

Important Notices
CONNECTION
Via Bluetooth or WLAN
Connection may fail when the mobile computer is around other wireless machines or
power cables as the radio frequencies of those may cause interferences.
If communication fails, move the devices much closer to each other, and try to
communicate again
After turning on, Bluetooth power is sustained even when the mobile computer is
suspended. However, if the power mode is switched to Airplane Mode, Bluetooth power
will be turned off regardless of the settings.
To a Charging & Communication Cradle
Do not insert the mobile computer to a Charging & Communication Cradle if water or
drippings are staying on the device.
The LED indicator on a Charging & Communication Cradle shows the status of battery
charging only; the status of terminal charging is shown on the device itself.
Not Charging could be the result of battery damage, battery’s failure to touch the
connector or AC plug coming off.
Charging error could be due to high battery temperature.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
This mobile computer is intended for industrial use. The mobile computer is rated IP65,
however, damage may be done to the mobile computer if it is exposed to extreme
temperatures or soaked in water.
When the body of the mobile computer gets dirty, use a clean, wet cloth to wipe off dust
and debris. DO NOT use bleaches or cleaners.
Use a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to wipe dust off the LCD touch screen. DO NOT
use any pointed or sharp objects against the surface. Always keep the LCD dry.
If you want to put away the mobile computer for a period of time, download the collected
data to a host computer, and then remove the battery pack from the mobile computer’s
battery compartment. Store the mobile computer and battery pack separately.
If you encounter malfunction on the mobile computer, write down the specific scenario
and consult your local sales representative.
