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 i mage 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. Four
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 and an extended long range imager offer aggressive scanning
solutions.
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 / 1
GB 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/n 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 f ull size
keyboard and a single piece 5200 mAh battery into both of these packages.
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 IP65 sealing against water and dust, and featuring Gorilla Glass 3 ®
on the scan window, 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 throughout 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 without gloves. A
choice of crystal clear full VGA and QVGA displays and the 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 ea sy
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.

CAUTION
Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie
de type incorrect.
CAUTION
Mettre au rebut les batteris usagées conformément aux instructions.
Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very
low charge.
CAUTION
We recommend charging the battery pack every two to three months
to keep its charge at a moderate level to maximize battery life.
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, in order to achieve
the longest battery life, store the terminal and the spare batteries
between -30 to 70 ºC (-22 to 158 ºF).
NOTE
Falcon X3+ should be charged at an ambient temperature between 0
- 35º C (32 to 95 ºF) to achieve the maximum charging rate.
Never charge the main device or spare batteries in a closed s pace
where excessive heat can build up.
Close to the limits of the working temperature, some display and/or
battery performance degradation may occur.
The battery level may display incorrectly for several minutes after the
Falcon X3+ is disconnected from its charger if the charging cycle is

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.
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.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris
and combustible materials or chemica ls.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal to power devices other
than this mobile computer.

Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive
terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example,
WARNING
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.
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.
