1.1 FALCON™ X3 DESCRIPTION

The new Datalogic Falcon X3 mobile computer delivers the ultimate in
ruggedness, ergonomics, computing and data capture technologies. Falcon X3
options provide a tailored solution for demanding environments needing real
time transaction visibility. The Falcon X3 delivers rugged construction, laser and
image data capture, along with real time communications in a product that is
effortless to develop for, deploy and manage.

Enterprises rely on accurate inventories to both plan and manage activities.
Three data capture options optimize the Falcon X3 to the application. A laser
scanner tackles high volume environments where speed is essential to
receiving and shipping operations. The imager captures linear, stacked and 2D
codes to reduce failed reads due to damaged and poor quality barcodes. An
optional camera takes pictures for the documentation of damaged or returned
goods. Datalogic’s patented Green Spot good read feedback reduces errors in
both noisy and quiet environments. For applications like cross docking where
bar codes can be close at hand or far away, an auto ranging laser offers an
aggressive scanning solution.

The parallel computer architecture of the Falcon X3 melds the strengths of an
XScale™ PXA310 microprocessor with a Cortex-M3 coprocessor. This
combination gears the device for real time information management. Memory of
256 MB RAM / 256 MB Flash accommodates multiple simultaneous
applications, for managing large databases or enabling off-line autonomy of
thick applications. A Micro SD Card Slot provides a simple way for users to
increase memory storage capacity as needed. The Falcon X3 tailors itself to the
information technology practices of the enterprise through either the Microsoft
Windows CE 6.0 or Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.

As information is collected the Falcon X3 turns to the task of communication via
a Summit IEEE 802.11 a/b/g radio. Complimented by a CCX v4 certification
from Cisco, the Falcon X3 provides infrastructure compatibility focused on
enterprise requirements for encrypted communication and seamless roaming.
Voice applications leverage the internet protocol connection for hands-free
voice picking and push to talk communications. Bluetooth® Wireless
Technology connects headsets, printers and other peripherals eliminating
cumbersome wires. An extensive accessory offering accommodates existing
installation needs for USB, RS232, modem or Ethernet communications.

The Falcon X3 comes in two form factors to tackle the differing scanning
intensities found in an enterprise. A pistol grip version with numeric keypad
tackles the high volume scan and quantity entry found at the receiving dock.
While a hand held with alpha numeric keypad better suits the lighter pick and
pack duty of preparing goods for shipment. The Falcon’s low weight balances a
large 3.5” display with a full size keyboard and a single piece 5000 mAh battery
into both of these packages.

1

1 1

The Falcon X3 must do more than function for a full shift, it must survive daily
abuse and trauma. The new Falcon X3 survives drops from 6 feet (1.8 meter) to
concrete. Coupled with an IP64 sealing against water and dust allows the
Falcon X3 to literally take an industrial pounding. Plastic key caps with metal
snap dome actuation withstand not only the abusive environment but the heavy
use found in third party logistics centers, literally millions of cycles per year.

Falcon delivers Datalogic’s trademark ergonomics in a contoured package. An
arched pistol grip handle and ergonomic trigger make the rapid receiving of
goods comfortable through out the day. Falcon X3 numeric and alphanumeric
keyboards use a phone key layout placing numeric keys at the device top with
navigation, scan and enter keys. This highly functional layout places high use
keys at the user’s finger tips. Maximized key sizes drive additional user
efficiency with or with out gloves. A crystal clear QVGA display and back lit
keyboard make the Falcon X3 readable in dark back corners or full sunlight.

The Falcon X3 leverages Datalogic’s software development kit (SDK) for
creating applications. The Datalogic™ SDK provides a set of libraries allowing
easy application development using C++, .NET and Java programming
languages. Both MCL Collection and Wavelink® Studio™ offer additional
solutions to enable development. For terminal emulation environments available
tools include the Wavelink Industrial Browser™, Wavelink Terminal Emulation,
and Wavelink Speakeasy.

Wavelink Avalanche™ device management tools make the Falcon X3 an easy
device to both deploy and maintain. Datalogic Desktop, Configuration and
Firmware Utilities deliver unprecedented ability to customize and update device
configuration to the use environment or process. For small or remote
installations, Scan to Configure provides simple barcodes that anyone can use
to configure the Falcon X3. Wavelink Remote Control allows an administrator to
remotely diagnose and remedy both applications and device settings. For added
security the Falcon X3 can be implemented with Wavelink CE Secure and
Wavelink Certificate Manager.

4 USE AND FUNCTIONING

The use of the Falcon X3 depends on the application software loaded. However
there are several parameters that can be set and utilities that can be used to
perform some basic functions such as data capture, communications, file
management, etc.

4.1 STARTUP

The Falcon X3 turns on when the battery pack or the external supply is inserted.
After the battery pack is installed, use the [ON/OFF] key to turn the mobile

computer on and off.
As soon as the mobile computer is on, the Windows CE 6.0 desktop

configuration will appear on the screen. Wait a few seconds before starting any
activity so that the mobile computer completes its startup procedure.

Desktop Control Panel

Use the stylus (par. 4.1.1) as suggested to select icons and options.
The mobile computer goes into power-off (low power with display and keyboard

backlight off), when it is no longer used for more than a programmable timeout,
which is defined in the POWER applet of the Control Panel. In this mode it can
be awakened (resuming operation) by the [ON/OFF] key.

The field of view changes its size as you move the reader closer or farther away
from the code. The field of view indicated by the aiming system pattern will be
smaller when the Falcon X3 Imager is closer to the code and larger when it is
farther from the code.

Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to
the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read
farther from the unit.

If the scan has taken place correctly:

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION (SAR)

This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6W/kg.
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
after searching on the below FCC IDs:
FCC ID: U4SFALX3

This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C.

*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
