NOTE:

For detailed information on using Microsoft programs, tap

 Help.

ActiveSync / WMDC

ActiveSync on the device works with ActiveSync on a Windows XP computer and with
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) on a Windows Vista/Windows 7 computer.

When a connection is established between the device and a computer, information can
be synchronized on the device and the computer with ActiveSync or WMDC.
Synchronization compares the data on both the device and the computer and updates
both systems with the most recent information. For example:

 Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases on the device can be kept

up-to-date by synchronizing the device with Microsoft Outlook data on the
computer.

 Synchronize email messages in the device Outlook Inbox with email messages in

Microsoft Outlook on the computer.

 Synchronize Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files between the device and

the computer. Files are automatically converted to the correct format.

adapter will result in malfunction and/or danger.

 Use only the car charger supplied by the manufacturer. Use of another type of car

charger will result in malfunction and/or danger.

 Use a specified cradle approved by the manufacturer.

 Use a specified battery.

About the Charger

 Do not use the charger in a high moisture environment. Never touch the charger

with wet hands, feet, or any other body part.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance 7-6



Allow adequate ventilation around the charger when using it to operate the device

or charge the battery. Do not cover the charger with paper or other objects that

Use in portable RF exposure conditions is limited to the specific product and antenna

configuration evaluated in the filing. For body worn operation, this device has been

tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory

that contains no metal. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located

or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance

with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. End-users must be provided with

transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Starting GeoAssist

GeoAssist is a GPS utility, designed specifically for the Flint, that allows the end user to
view the status of the GPS and allows the user to configure the GPS and optimize it for
the environment for which it will be used. This instruction guide will show you all of the
features and their application.

GPS Tab

The GPS Tab allows you to set up the connection settings for the GPS, Start/Stop the
GPS communications as well as Exit the program.

The GPS Settings for the Flint handheld should be set to use COM 9 as the
communications port and the baud rate should be set to 9600.

Next, set the additional NMEA sentences you would like to have enabled. The GST
string reports the GPS Pseudorange Error (Noise) Statistics.

You can also force the GPS to run continuously, even though the system is turned off.
This enables immediate GPS positioning when the unit it turned on. To enable this,

GPS Settings and Best Practices

• Starting the GPS: Open GeoAssist and start the GPS. Choose the Mode tab and

select the mode for which you want to use the GPS. Leave GeoAssist running
while in use and collecting data.

• GPS COM Port: COM 9

• GPS Baud Rate: 9600

• While in Canopy mode, it is best to walk directly to target and stop to collect

data. Wandering around target or moving the unit aimlessly may cause
inaccurate data.

• If GPS performance is slow, reset the handheld.

Handheld Settings and Best Practices

• Begin each day by resetting the handheld. This is normal practice for most

devices and will help with performance.

• For best results and when possible, charge the device via the provided AC wall

charger or desktop battery charger. Charging via the auto adapter or USB may
take the unit longer to reach a full charge.

GeoAssist/Handheld Questions

Question:

It seems the best thing is to start GeoAssist, verify Canopy Mode,
then open the GPS program and use. Once finished with GPS program, can we
close that program and leave GeoAssist running in canopy mode, and not have
to restart it the next time? Or should we Stop GeoAssist as well and restart the
next time and every time?

Answer:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you are finished with collecting data, it is best to shut down
GeoAssist and then restart the next time you want to collect data. If you are
using GeoAssist and have the GPS configured to Canopy Mode, these settings
are lost once you turn off the handheld. The next time you turn it on it will
open in Autonomous/Default mode. The only exception is when you choose to
force the GPS to stay on, even when you turn the handheld off. In this case,
the GPS will remain in Canopy Mode, however, your battery life may be
reduced.

Question:

If we leave GeoAssist running and power the unit off, is GeoAssist

consuming battery?

Answer:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, unless you choose to force the GPS to stay on, even when you
turn the handheld off. In this case, the GPS will remain in Canopy Mode,
however, your battery life may be reduced. This is done in GeoAssist in the
Settings under the Main tab.

Question: How often do we need to soft-reset these units with the little reset
button?

Answer:

It is recommended to reset the handheld once per day. This will help
maintain peak performance during use.

How State Law Relates to this Limited Warranty

Some states, provinces or territories do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Some states may provide for
additional warranty rights and remedies, and the provisions contained in this limited
warranty are not intended to limit, modify, take away from, disclaim or exclude any
mandatory warranty requirements provided by states, including certain implied
warranties. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.

***IMPORTANT***

If you choose to purchase the No Fault Warranty, Know This: The No Fault Warranty
only applies to the first year of original ownership and covers ANY accident that may

occur. This warranty can only be used only once and should be viewed as a “Get Out Of
Jail Free” card for the customer’s protection. Once the No Fault Warranty has been
used, it is no longer available, even if the Product is damaged again within the first year
of ownership. In order to receive the warranty, F4Devices must be notified of the
damage claim and receive the damaged Product within the warranty period before
replacement or remedy occurs. The No Fault Warranty does not cover theft or loss.
