Introduction
Product Presentation
The DL-Axist PDA combines Datalogic expertise, the latest mobile
technologies and user friendly experience in a complete package.
An appealing look and feel and a brilliant full touch 5” HD screen are
combined with industrial robustness to survive indoor and outdoor
usage. The PDA also leverages an additional protective rubber boot
and Gorilla® Glass 3 screen to ensure ruggedness.
The DL-Axist PDA is equipped with a 2D imager allowing quick and
easy data capture from high density codes to the standard range
distances, along with Datalogic’s patented ‘Green Spot’ technology
for good-read feedback with a fast aimer. For applications requiring
evidence of task execution or damaged documentation, a 5 MP
autofocus camera with a built-in LED flash provides easy
documentation with photos. Moreover, this PDA embeds Datalogic’s
proprietary ‘SoftSpot™’ technology: a user-definable ‘floating soft
trigger’ to leverage the large touch display, allowing a new triggering
experience for the user.
The DL-Axist PDA leverages five embedded wireless technologies:
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n Cisco CCXv4 certified for quick network access
and with superior MIMO technology (ensures higher throughput and
better coverage), 3G/4G for real-time wide area voice and data
coverage, Enterprise Class Assisted GPS (A-GPS) for location based
applications, Bluetooth® wireless technology v4 for fast and low
power consuming data connections and NFC for easy and intuitive
configuration and pairing.
The embedded Android™’ operating system (the leading OS for mobile
devices) is complemented by a suite of tools enabling Enterprise level
security, fast deployment and easy management, thus helping to
maximize the users’ ROI.

Charge with the dock
The dock provides power to the DL-Axist and allows the charging of
the battery.
You can also charge an additional battery pack by inserting it into the
rear slot of the dock.
By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the
factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids
CAUTION
CAUTION
possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum
performance.
Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full
charge or very low charge.
We recommend charging the battery pack every two to
three months to keep its charge at a moderate level to
maximize battery life.

NOTE
NOTE
Battery
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
l y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par
une batterie de type incorrect.
Mettre au rebut les batteris usagées conformément
aux instructions.
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, in order to
achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the
spare batteries between 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F).
Charging is allowed in the battery temperature range from
0°C to 45°C.
To maximize battery life, turn off radios when they are not
needed.
To maximize operating autonomy, the DL-Axist checks its
battery level at all times. If the battery is not sufficiently
charged, the DL-Axist will not turn on when the ON/OFF
Power button is pressed.
In this case, either substitute with a charged battery,
insert the DL-Axist into a powered dock, or plug it into a
wall charger.

WARNING
Installing, charging and/or any other action should be
done by authorized personnel and following this
manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or
cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type,
there is risk of explosion and/or fire.
Use the battery box to carry the battery pack, do not put
the battery pack in your pocket.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other
heat source; do not place the battery pack in direct
sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside
unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the
battery pack in microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in
high pressure containers, on induction cook surfaces or
similar devices. Doing so may cause the battery pack to
generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack
in this manner may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use of
an alternative power supply will void the product
warranty, may cause product damage and may cause
heat, an explosion, or fire.
16 DL-Axist™
Page 25
WARNING
Battery
The area in which the units are charged should be
clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal to power
devices other than this terminal.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if,
while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the
battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot,
changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any
other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts
connecting the positive terminal and negative
terminal. This might happen, for example, when you
carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse;
accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct
connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these
look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack
or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with
a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts, pressures, or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or
deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may
cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or
ignite.

Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device
or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface,
you should take it to the nearest Authorised Repair
Centre for inspection before continuing to use it.
Before replacing the battery pack, turn off the device or
put it in swap battery mode (see
page 29
).
