DSVII-SC® User Manual, Version 1.11

3 Initial Setup

• Each unit is shipped with one Li-Ion battery installed, though disconnected. To enable the battery, you will need

to remove the rear cover and plug the battery connector into the mating connector on the DSVII-SC®.

• The battery is shipped fully charged, however, there is a small amount of self-discharge even when the battery

is disconnected. It is highly recommended that you fully charge the internal battery before use to maximize operating time before recharging is required. The unit will operate when connected via an external power supply regardless of the state of the internal battery.

• The DSVII-SC® contains an integrated charging circuit. No external charger for batteries is provided nor

required.

+ Please refer to Section 7, “Battery Charging and Replacement”, for additional instructions and safety

information.

5 Third Party Software

The software packaged loaded into each DSVII-SC® may contain software modules (for example: WindowsCE.net-

4.2, fingerprint-matching algorithms, image-compression algorithms, etc.) which are licensed from 3rd-party developers. These modules are licensed as-is. As such, Datastrip makes no representation, neither expressed nor implied, about the reliability, performance or suitability of these licensed software components.

SC® Battery

6 Operation

Startup Sequence:

• To begin operation, depress and hold the power button on the front of the DSVII-SC® unit.

• Release the button when a single beep is heard.

• Two additional beeps acknowledge that power has been activated. The keypad and LCD backlights will turn on.

• The on-board firmware performs self-tests prior to loading WinCE and the application software.

7 Battery Charging and Replacement

The DSVII-SC® has internal space for up to two Li-Ion battery packs. Each pack provides 3000mAh of capacity. The unit can be operated with none, one, or two batteries installed. One battery is standard.

Under normal operating conditions, the battery does not need to be removed. The DSVIISC® has an internal charging circuit that can maintain a proper charge on the batteries whenever the unit is connected to the external power supply.

The batteries may be replaced by opening a battery-access cover on the rear of the DSVIISC®. A slotted screwdriver or almost any coin can be used to operate the ¼ turn fasteners holding the battery compartment cover in place.

When replacing the battery, ensure that the battery contacts are aligned with the battery terminals inside the unit. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw (do not over- tighten). Incorrect battery installation will render the unit inoperable until the battery is properly re-installed.

+ Note: The charging time for a fully discharged battery will be approximately

2 hours (or 4 hours for two batteries).

DSVII-SC® User Manual, Version 1.11

Once the cover is removed, unplug either battery by squeezing the connector at the end of the battery cable. This will unlock the connector allowing it to be withdrawn.

Note the battery contacts within the battery compartment. Ensure that these contacts are aligned with the battery’s contacts when replacing the battery:

N CAUTION! Use ONLY approved replacement batteries and power adapters as provided by

Datastrip.

N CAUTION! Battery has a risk of FIRE, EXPLOSION or BURNS. DO NOT: short-circuit the battery

terminals; crush, puncture, disassemble or otherwise damage the battery’s case; operate, charge or store the battery at temperatures above 100ºC; incinerate or immerse in water.

+ DISPOSAL: Always consult and obey all international, federal, provincial/state, and local hazardous

waste disposal laws. Certain jurisdictions require recycling of this spent product.

8 Cleaning

The LCD screen and fingerprint sensor may need periodic cleaning to ensure continued performance. Use only the Datastrip-approved cleaning-kit, to remove dirt, oils, grease, dust and foreign matter.

To clean the LCD display or fingerprint sensor:

Make sure the DSVII-SC

• Power is OFF.

• Unplug the unit from any external power source.

• Using the cleaning wipes from the cleaning kit, wipe the surface of the LCD screen and fingerprint sensor.

Allow the cleaning solvent to dry completely

9 Troubleshooting

• UNIT DOES NOT POWER UP – The battery may be not plugged in, or is completely discharged. Open the

battery access cover and verify that at least one battery is properly installed. Additionally, use the external AC power adapter to operate the unit and simultaneously charge the battery. Please refer to Section 7 Battery

Charging and Replacement on Page 7.

• Unit generates a single “error” beep tone, and the power LED flashes RED once. – This is an indication

that the internal battery is very low, and does not have sufficient charge to run the unit at all. Plug in the AC power adapter to change the battery.

11 Hardware Features

11.1 Keypad

The DSVII-SC® comes equipped with an intuitive 4-function keypad, shown at right. The keys are vertically aligned along the left side of the LCD display, enabling application software to position virtual “buttons” appropriately. These keys are programmed as WinCE standard “F1” through “F4” keys, though this can be changed by a registry setting.

Below the function keys is the power switch. You must depress and hold it until a single beep is heard, then immediately release it for an additional two beeps. Holding the button too long will cause an “error” type beep sound and the system will not be powered up or down, as the case may be. This procedure helps to guard against accidental activation or shutdown of the system.

11.2 Fingerprint Sensor, LCD & Indicators

The top of the front case features the fingerprint sensor (upper left) and LCD display. The LCD is color, and comes with white-LED backlighting that can be adjusted through a control-panel setting.

The power switch has a bi-color (red/green) backlight indicator, which identifies whether the system is on, charging, or running low on battery power.

11.3 Serial Ports

The DSVII-SC® has one external serial port available for interfacing to a host computer or other external equipment. Shown here is the I/O connector panel, which includes the serial port, USB ports, CF-slot (not visible) and 10/100 LAN port.

+ NOTE: For developers, establishing an “ActiveSync”

serial connection with a host-PC will require a Datastrip serial-port cable plus a null-modem cable. These are available through Datastrip Inc., Datastrip Ltd, or your authorized Datastrip reseller. The serial cable and null-modem cable is supplied free with Datastrip2D SDK.

Serial port electrical specifications

• Signaling type: RS-232 compatible.

• Output signals: TXD, RTS, DTR.

• Input signals: RXD, CTS, DSR, DCD, RI.

• Interface chip: Maxim MAX3243 or equivalent.

If a specific application requires detailed knowledge of the interface drive capability, latch-up immunity, safety, or other signaling level information, please refer to manufacturer datasheets for the interface chips listed above.

11.4 External Compact Flash Slot

The DSVII-SC® has one Type-I/II Compact Flash slot. It is compatible with “ATA-Flash” storage cards, NE-2000compatible network adapters, and various modem and serial interface devices.

11.5 USB Ports

The DSVII-SC® supports two standard USB ports (Ver-1.1), compatible with either low (1.5Mbps) or high (12Mbps) speed devices. These are “host” type ports, compatible with peripheral devices only (keyboard, mouse, etc.). DO NOT connect this directly to a USB port on a host-PC.

11.6 Smart Card Slot

The DSVII-SC® has an integrated Smart Card reader. It is compatible with contact-type SmartCard (ISO-7816, 6contact style). Cards need to be inserted with the contacts facing UP.

In addition, there is an integrated Contactless SmartCard transceiver and antenna. The antenna is positioned in a place perpendicular to the LCD screen, on the same side of the unit as the SmartCard slot. The typical operating range is 0 to 3 cm.
