Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the Falcon. When the battery is used in devices other than the Falcon, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may

WARNING

cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

Lithium-Ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:

• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

• Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.

• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.

• 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 solder directly onto the battery pack.

• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE

CAUTION

Battery Warnings and Cautions

Always charge the battery at 32°–113°F (0°–45°C) temperature range.

If you remove the battery pack or it becomes completely discharged, there is a 30 minute window in which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery fails. If your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your back-up battery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time available.

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic Mobile reseller. The use of any other power supplies can

damage the Falcon and void your warranty. Refer to

Appendix A for the correct

Power Supplies and Accessories.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.

Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside unventilated areas such as cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cookware.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.

Datalogic Mobile recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.

to adjust the image.

• Width can be as much as 640 pixels.

• Height can be as much as 480 pixels.

Reducing the height and width results in cropping of the image to the center.

2. Use

Scale to scale the image. Scal-

ing changes the x,y dimensions of the image. For example, scaling a 640 x 480 image to 50% results in an image size of 320 x 240. See "Imaging Controls" on page F-32, for further information.

Reducing the scale of an image results in reduced image size, which decreases the time needed to capture an image.

Rotate allows you to change the orientation of the image, in 90° incre-

ments.

Image Settings

1. JPEG Quality sets the desired qual-

ity when the JPEG image format is selected. Selecting a higher quality results in a higher quality image, but a larger file.

Brightness allows you to set the

brightness level the imager will use when taking images.

Edge Sharpness specifies how

much the imager will attempt to sharpen edges in images it takes. Selecting the highest position on the slider gives the sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.

Gamma Correction measures the brightness of midtone values pro-

duced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. Move the slider to change the amount of correction the imager applies when taking images.

Sample Imager Settings

To obtain the best possible results, you can modify the settings to suit specific conditions or purposes. Ta b le 2 - 3 shows samples of recommended settings for common usages. These settings are suggested only, you will need to take into account your particular environment and conditions to determine optimal settings for your specific situation.

About the Summit Client Utility

The Summit Client Utility (SCU) is an application designed for end users and administrators of mobile devices that use a Summit radio module. For further information beyond the scope of this manual, you can download the complete Summit User’s Guide from www.summitdatacom.com.

Reference the QRG for details about the basic functions of this utility. After completing an administrator login to the utility, you can perform these additional tasks:

• Create, rename, edit, and delete profiles

• Alter global settings, which apply to every profile

SCU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for access to all of its functions. Access to these functions also is available through an application programming interface (API), which an application programmer can use to enable another utility to manage the radio.

To initialize SCU:

Wi-FI

1. Go to Start> Settings > Control Panel.

2. Tap on the Wi-fi icon.

SCU Windows

SCU has five tabs: Main, Profile, Status, Diags (Troubleshooting), and Global Settings. Tabs enable easy navigation. Each tab is described in more detail in this section.

Main Tab

Reference Figure 2-25 on page 2-40 to view the features of the Main tab.

•

Enable/Disable Radio: Select or deselect to enable or disable the radio.

•

Sample:

\Windows\Wceload.exe /delete 1 /noui /silent “\FlashDisk\CAB\<cab file>”

Product Reference Guide 3-13

Software Applications

Interactive CAB Install

If the CAB installer requires user interaction that must be performed during the AutoStart CAB installation process, you can specify a special file name to disable the silent mode installation. If this mode is specified, the CAB file will be installed with Wceload without any command line arguments specified.

An example of what AutoStart would execute is:

\Windows\Wceload.exe <cab file>

To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to include a ‘_’ character before the “.cab” extension of the file.

Example:

“File.cab” should be renamed “File_.cab” to force AutoStart to not install the CAB in silent mode. This specially-named CAB file should be placed in the AutoStart folder with other CAB files intended for installation on the next reboot.

Autostart.ini

Autoexec.ini, which uses AutoCE on some older models, has been deprecated. These files should be renamed to Autostart.ini and reformatted as described in "AutoStart" on page 3-12.

In the following section, all references to AutoStart.ini also pertain to PreAuto.ini.

Autostart.ini and PreAuto.ini are text files that AutoStart will run upon startup of the Falcon, and after any CAB files are installed. This file should be placed in the AutoStart folder. AutoStart will run the Autostart.ini file on each reboot of the device.

Line Formatting

Each line of the Autostart.ini can consist of Autostart options, an executable, and any command line arguments.

< Autostart option(s)> <full path to executable> <command line arguments>

Sample:

- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc

Full path to executable Command line arguments

Spaces must be placed between each component of the line in the Autostart.ini.

If the executable path is in a folder that contains spaces in the name, quotes are required to distinguish what the actual executable name is. The following is an example of this:

“\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe” /run (valid)

\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe /run (invalid)

The second line is an invalid line because there is no way to distinguish the executable from the argument.

SNMP

Use Network and Dialup setup to administer the IP network settings for specific connections. The system defaults to Summit Client Utility (SCU) for wireless communications, and normal Windows Dialup and Networking for all other network connections. See About the Summit Client Utility on

page 2-39 for more information on SCU.

Windows Zero Config

The Falcon can optionally be set to use Windows Zero Config, if preferred. Refer to Microsoft online help for further information.

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the standard protocol for managing devices on a network. The Falcon Management Utility (FMU) makes use of SNMP to send and receive configuration information to the Datalogic Mobile terminals. Since the networked terminals are constantly running SNMP, this allows FMU to interface with the terminal at any time, without

Product Reference Guide 4-9

requiring user intervention on the terminal.

Networks, Communications, and Connections

With SNMP running on the terminal, other SNMP based network manage-

ment tools such as HP Openview

and CastleRock SNMPpc® may also be used to interface with the terminals. To support this capability, Datalogic Mobile has released the Management Information Base (MIB) for the Datalogic Mobile Windows-based terminals. The MIB is used by the management tools to allow them to better support the configuration values provided on the terminals, such as scanner controls and terminal type information.

The MIB is available at www.mobile.datalogic.com.
