2.5 GPS CONNECTION
Datalogic Jet™ GPS model provides a GPS Connection to allow for both satellite communications (if equipped) and geolocating abilities.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites that provides location and timing information around the globe. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
To use the GPS Connection you have the following options:
install a commercial navigation software with country or regional maps pre­installed on its SD Card (see instructions on par. 1.4);
access to a free web mapping service via a GPRS/Wi-Fi connection;
design a navigation software following the instructions on the Help SDK .
Datalogic Jet™ GPS model only supports Windows Mobile operating system.
18
CONNECTIONS
2
To locate a position, the Datalogic Jet™ GPS must be outdoors to obtain the best possible reception. First-time initialisation of GPS can take several minutes depending on the environment and quality of the reception of GPS satellite signals. If it takes longer than 5 minutes to locate a position, the user has to make sure to be in an open place without tall buildings or trees all around.
In the future, the time required for GPS acquisition will vary depending on when the device was last used:
if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is switched on after it has been switched off for several minutes, satellite positioning is almost instantaneous (“hot start”);
if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS device has been switched off for more than 4 hours, the GPS could take up to five minutes (“warm start”);
if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is only used occasionally, and has been switched off for more than 24 hours, GPS initialisation could take from between 10 to 15 minutes (“cold start”).
The time required for GPS acquisition also varies according to the surroundings:
if the vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be slower;
if there are high buildings, narrow streets or many trees, reception will be slower. Move to an area clear of obstructions to improve reception;
in bad weather GPS reception may be slower;
if the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is in a building, parking lot, or a tunnel, the user will
not receive any GPS signals.
NOTE
NOTE
In order to avoid wasting energy, the GPS module is off by default. If you need to have GPS working, the module must be powered on using the External GPS applet (see par. 3.8.5).
Suspending the terminal powers off the GPS and drops the connection. When the terminal resumes, if the check box “Enable GPS at reboot” was checked, the GPS connection it is automatically restored, otherwise, it must be manually re-initialized (see par. 3.8.5).

NOTE
NOTE
CAUTION
DATALOGIC JET™
The user must ensure that the Datalogic Jet™ GPS is placed correctly for optimal GPS signal reception and stays in place. The GPS receiver can be tested in a stationary situation.
Many modern vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield preventing good reception when the GPS receiver is placed on the dashboard. To improve GPS signal strength, the Datalogic Jet™ GPS should be placed as close as possible to the windscreen, where there is a clear view of the sky.
GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of GPS. Datalogic Mobile cannot accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
The user is entirely responsible for the positioning and use of the portable navigation system and its accessories so that it neither obstructs the driver’s visibility nor hinders operation of the vehicle’s security systems to avoid any risk of accident, injury or damage.

Before using the Datalogic Jet™ GPS, the user should become familiar with the laws and regulations relating to satellite positioning in effect in
CAUTION
the country in which he is driving.
The distances indicated by the Datalogic Jet™ GPS can differ slightly from those indicated on the road signs. In the event of a discrepancy, the user must always follow the directions displayed on the road signs. Data (maps, routes, fixed speed cameras, traffic information, points of interest, etc.) are provided for information purposes, and are subject to modification at any time.
We recommend to use these data taking into consideration the real context of travelling: the general condition of the vehicle, its equipment, the speed, the road surface, weather conditions, etc.
The user is expected to check road signs when using satellite positioning, in particular for one-way streets and speed-limit signs. The user must also follow the Highway Code and road safety rules applicable in the country in which he is driving.
Non-compliance with these warnings could lead to accidents or damage. Datalogic Mobile and/or suppliers accept no responsibility for any use of products likely to provoke accidents, cause damage or infringe on any laws or for any other consequences, whether direct or indirect.

Reader Parameters
The barcode reading parameters and values are dependent upon the type of scanner module mounted in your PDA. For a detailed list of parameters and of their configuration procedures, please refer to the SDK Help file on the CD.
Scan Parameters
The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the scanning device. The Scan parameters are described as follows:
ScanTimeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, during which the scanner remains on without decoding any barcode.
GoodReadSound: is the filename of a .wav file played when the scanner reads a code.
LedDuration: the length of the good-read led pulse, in milliseconds.
LedPulses: the number of times the good-read led pulse is emitted when the
scanner reads a barcode.
41

DATALOGIC JET™
ContinuousMode: when enabled, the scanner can only be turned off by releasing the SCAN key, or if Soft Trigger is enabled, by the application program. Continuous Mode overrides Scan Timeout.
KeyboardEmulation: if enabled all scanned data are transformed into keyboard events and can therefore be displayed and saved to a file as if input from the PDA keyboard. If set to “Yes (Clipboard)”, it copies the scanned data to the system clipboard.
SoftTrigger: when enabled, the laser can be turned on/off by the application software.
ScanAlwaysOn: enables the scanner for barcode reading independently from the application software. If set to “Disabled after read”, it disables the reading after a reading attempt. In case the scan button is accidentally pressed, this selection prevents the driver from decoding new data while the application is still elaborating previous data.
NotPrintableChar: if set to “Remove”, all not printable characters included in the scanned data are deleted and the final barcode will include only printable characters.
ScanButton: enables/disables the scan button. If the scan button is disabled, the reader can be triggered under software control.

3.8.3 Files Admin
The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the Windows CE System Folder. Because Windows Mobile mounts the entire file system in persistent store (rather than using RAM), it provides both users and applications with a reliable storage platform even in the absence of battery power. The FILES ADMIN applet is therefore not necessary.
Two functions are available on the Files Admin Main window by means of two buttons:
Files Admin Main Window
Save Session: with this button all files will be permanently saved in the \Windows
directory in non-volatile memory. This function guarantees the steady maintenance of every file produced during the current working session - even of sub-directories and relevant files - with the exception of the files belonging to the FLASH image. These current working session files will be backed-up in the \Backup\Windows directory. At the next cold boot, the files previously saved in the \Backup\Windows directory will be restored to the Windows directory (see par. 3.10).
Safe Setup: with this button, the installation of software programs will be saved to non-volatile memory (Backup directory). Before doing this, it will be checked that the Backup directory has enough space to save the files. If the directory space is not enough, an error message will be shown and the program will exit the Safe Setup function. Two activating procedures are available for Safe Setup:

3.10 BACKUP DIRECTORY FILE MANAGEMENT
All of the Windows CE system files reside in RAM (volatile memory) except for the Backup directory, which resides in FLASH (non-volatile memory). Therefore the contents of the Backup directory are persistent even if the PDA is re-booted or the battery pack is changed.
You can save your more important files that you don't want to lose due to PDA re­boot, in the Backup directory or create a sub-directory within Backup.
Even though the Windows Directory resides in RAM, it often contains files or sub­directories created by the user or by installation programs that you don't want to lose at re-boot. To keep these files persistent it is necessary to copy them to the directory \Backup\Windows. This directory doesn't exist originally (only Backup exists), and therefore it must be created. At the next cold boot, before activating the shell, Windows CE will copy the contents including all sub-directories of \Backup\Windows to \Windows.
Likewise, to maintain files that must be run at Windows CE startup, (i.e. .exe, .lnk, .vb, .htm, etc.), it is necessary to copy them to the directory \Backup\Startup. This directory does not exist originally (only Backup exists), and therefore it must be created. The application programs will be run after any type of re-boot (both software and cold boot).
As an alternative to the Safe Setup function, it is possible to copy the .cab files to the directory \Backup\Cabfiles (the Cabfiles sub-directory doesn't exists originally and must therefore be created) and perform a PDA cold boot to have the application installed. Once these files are copied to the directory \Backup\Cabfiles, the application will be run after each re-boot.
From the second cold boot on, a message may be displayed such as "<application name> is already installed. Re-install?". This message blocks the boot process. Press the [Enter] key to continue the system initialization.
Even if the entire Windows Mobile file system reside in FLASH (non-volatile memory), the mechanism described above is supported also on Windows Mobile for backward compatibility.

3.11 FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR WINDOWS CE
The Datalogic Jet is equipped with a tool that implements a firmware update service. This tool, called Datalogic Updater (DLUpdater), is compatible with all hardware versions of the following WindowsCE 5.0 models:
Datalogic Skorpio™; Datalogic Jet™; Datalogic Kyman™; Datalogic Memor™.
The DLUpdater, that is automatically invoked at startup, search for a potential update file (DLUpdate.bin) in the storage card. If it finds it, it proceeds to update only the components that are damaged or not updated. An update can be explicitly invoked by running the application DLUpdater.exe, provided together with the update file. The update must be contained in folder “\Storage Card”.
It is advisable, even if not binding, to connect the terminal to an external power source before starting the update process. This prevents the terminal from turning off while running and avoids a corruption of flash content.
CAUTION
After the update process, all the data stored in the backup folder could be irreparably lost, as well as the device configuration (even that one stored in persistent memory). Therefore, before starting a firmware update it is advisable to run a backup copy of the data you
CAUTION
want to preserve on SD Card or on PC (e.g. using ActiveSync).
Retrieving a Firmware Image Update
The following instructions use Internet Explorer to retrieve the most current firmware image.
1. Launch Internet Explorer on your PC and navigate to www.mobile.datalogic.com.
2. Navigate the Downloads section of the web site.
3. Select the product, desired language, and software updates. Click Go!
4. Select the file you want to download, then click Save and navigate to the location where you want to save the firmware files.
82
USE AND FUNCTIONING
3
5. Click Save again to begin copying the files to your local machine (or local network location).
Firmware Update Procedure
1. Download the update from the web site (see previous par.). It is a zip file containing the files:
DLUpdater.exe – that starts the update;
DLUpdate.bin – binary file containing the updated firmware;
2. Copy the files DLUpdater.exe (optional) and DLUpdate.bin on a Mini SD card.
3. Insert the Mini SD card in the terminal slot (see par. 0).
4. Open the folder “\Storage Card” on the terminal and run DLUpdater.exe (double tap the icon). As an alternative, you can also perform a reboot of the terminal (warm or cold).
5. The message shown in figure 1 will come up on the screen. It informs that DLUpdater found a firmware update in “\Storage Card\DLUpdate.bin”. It also warns the user that by proceeding with the terminal firmware upgrade all data and configurations (registry) may be lost. Select <YES> to continue, <NO> to cancel operations.
6. DLUpdater detects whether an external power source is present. If not, a warning will come up on the screen asking for a confirmation before carrying on (see figure 2).
Figure 1 Figure 2
83

DATALOGIC JET™
7. DLUpdater performs all the necessary operations of check, update and verify and, if no errors occur during the update, terminates the running invoking a cold boot of the terminal, so that the update process could be completed.
8. Following the operating system upgrade, the message shown in figure 3 may come up at the terminal startup. It informs the user that a flash disk formatting (folder \backup) would required for a clean update and asks whether to proceed with this operation. Select <YES> to format the flash disk. Select <NO> to preserve the current data stored in the backup folder. Sometimes the update process may force a flash format. In these cases the data stored in the backup folder will be irreparably lost. It is therefore recommended to run a backup of the data you want to preserve before starting a firmware update.
