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 colour 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

WARNING

NOTE

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 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.

In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs, immediately wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor.

Do not solder directly onto the battery pack. 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.

Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on. Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label. Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part. Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.

USE AND FUNCTIONING

4 USE AND FUNCTIONING

The use of the Elf™ 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 Elf™ 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 Mobile 6.5 desktop

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

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.

NOTE

Today Screen Start Menu

The mobile computer can also be awakened or turned off by the application program.

4.3 DATA CAPTURE

To capture data first of all tap Start > Settings > System > Decoding:

ELF™

To configure and enable data capture parameters refer to par. 4.6.

4.3.1 Laser Data Capture

To scan barcodes, point the Elf™ laser model onto the code from a distance within the reading range while pressing the SCAN key. The lighted band emitted by the laser must completely intercept the barcode as shown in the figure below.

USE AND FUNCTIONING

If the scan has taken place correctly:

- the Good Read LED gets constant Green for a configurable time;

- if enabled, the GoodReadSound emits an acoustic signal;

- if enabled, the GreenSpot projects a green spot onto the bar code image.

Remove the protective film cover over the Laser Output Window before use.

NOTE

4.3.2 Imager Data Capture

The Elf™ Imager captures a picture of the entire bar code. The omni-directional scanning does not require that the operator orient the bar code to align with the scan pattern.

To read a 1D or 2D code, simply point the Elf™ Imager model onto the code and press the SCAN Key.

The Elf™ Imager uses an intelligent aiming system pattern, similar to those on cameras, indicating the field of view, which should be positioned over the code:

Aiming System

If the aiming system pattern is centered over the entire symbology as shown in the following figure, either wait for the timeout or release the Scan key to capture the image.

A red beam illuminates the code, which is captured and decoded. You will get a good read.

Linear barcode 2D Matrix symbol

ELF™

ÌBX3ÉÎ

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 Elf™ 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. (See par. 5.1 for further details).

If the scan has taken place correctly:

- the Good Read LED gets constant Green for a configurable time;

- if enabled, the GoodReadSound emits an acoustic signal.

GLOSSARY

Access Point

A device that provides transparent access between Ethernet wired networks and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile units. Hand-held mobile computers, PDAs or other devices equipped with radio cards, communicate with wired networks using Access Points (AP). The mobile unit (mobile computer) may roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless connection to the wired network.

Applet

Diminutive form of app (application), it refers to simple, single-function programs that often ship with a larger product. Programs such as Windows' Calculator, File Manager, and Notepad are examples of applets.

Barcode

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in binary form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

Baud Rate

A measure for data transmission speed.

Bit

Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bluetooth®

A standard radio technology using a proprietary protocol. The onboard Bluetooth® module in the mobile computer is compatible with the 1.1 protocol.

Byte

On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.

Decode

To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned.

Depth of Field (DOF) The portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image. Although a

lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is

gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.

EDGE

Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE is considered a 3G radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only memory. An on-board nonvolatile memory chip.

Ethernet

The standard local area network (LAN) access method. A reference to "LAN," "LAN connection" or "network card" automatically implies Ethernet. Defined by the IEEE as the 802.3 standard, Ethernet is used to connect computers in a company or home network as well as to connect a single computer to a cable modem or DSL modem for Internet access.

Firmware

Firmware is a software program or set of instructions programmed on a hardware device. It provides the necessary instructions for how the device communicates with the other computer hardware. Firmware is typically stored in the flash ROM of a hardware device. While ROM is "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and rewritten because it is actually a type of flash memory.

Flash Disk

Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files.

GSM

Global System for Mobile communication. It is a standard for digital cellular communications, currently used in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.

Host

A computer that serves other mobile computers in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.

WLAN

A Wireless Local Area Network links devices via a wireless distribution method (typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually provides a connection through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network.

IEEE 802.11

A set of standards carrying out wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. They are created and maintained by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user.

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

Null modem cable

RS-232 serial cable where the transmit and receive lines are crosslinked. In some cables there are also handshake lines crosslinked. In many situations a straight through serial cable is used, together with a null modem adapter. The adapter contains the necessary crosslinks between the signals.

Pairing

A Bluetooth pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices agree to communicate with each other and establish a connection.

Piconet

A piconet is a Bluetooth PAN that links up to eight devices. Each piconet is controlled by one master device, and up to seven slave devices at any one time. Any device may be a member of more than one piconet, changing its membership as a user moves from one area to another.

RAM

Random Access memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.

Radio Frequency.

RTC

Real Time Clock.

TDMA

Time division multiple access (TDMA) is digital transmission technology that allows a number of users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel without interference by allocating unique time slots to each user within each channel. The TDMA digital transmission scheme multiplexes three signals over a single channel. The current TDMA standard for cellular divides a single

channel into six time slots, with each signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1 gain in capacity over advanced mobile-phone service (AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission.

USB

Universal Serial Bus. Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. A “plug-and-play” interface, it allows a device to be added without an adapter card and without rebooting the computer (the latter is known as hotplugging). The USB standard, developed by several major computer and telecommunications companies, supports data-transfer speeds up to 12 megabits per second, multiple data streams, and up to 127 peripherals.

WWAN

Stands for "Wide Area Network." It is similar to a Local Area Network (LAN), but it is not limited to a single location and it uses Mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies such as UMTS, GPRS, CDMA2000, GSM, CDPD, Mobitex, HSDPA or 3G to transfer data. WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a WWAN card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from anywhere within the regional boundaries of cellular service.

WPAN

A Wireless Personal Area Network is a personal area network - a network for interconnecting devices centered around an individual person's workspace - in which the connections are wireless. Typically, a wireless personal area network uses some technology that permits communication within about 10 meters - in other words, a very short range.
