Battery Information

Our rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry. However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops. When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. Store batteries discharged in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, they should be charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery. Batteries must be charged within the 32° to 95° F (0° to +35° C) ambient temperature range. Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.

Battery Caution

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrectly type. Dispose of used battery according to the local disposal instructions.

4-2 Non WindowsCE Standard

4-2-1 Admin/User Mode Application

Architecture Introduction:

System provides three pair of directories to map the working folder of each operating mode.

Working folders name of Admin mode

/Windows/Desktop File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the Desktop. /Windows/Programs

File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the Programs tab at start menu.

/Windows/StartUp

File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the StartUp folder where to be used to auto-run the programs during OS booting phase .

Working folders name of User mode

/Windows/Desktop_ File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the Desktop. /Windows/Programs_

File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the Programs tab at start menu.

/Windows/StartUp_

File folder for saving the shortcut of application program in the StartUp folder where to be used to auto-run the programs during OS booting phase.

Switching between Admin mode and User mode

There is a control box in the control panel applet, -"Password" The default password is "1111".

Step:

1. Find Password control box from control panel applet.

2. Enter password: “1111” (Default)

3. Select User mode or Admin mode.

4. Type the “OK” button of password properties control box.

5. Type the “OK” button of “Mode Chang” dialog for double confirmation.

6. System would reboot automatically to the selected mode.

How to use this feature?

System integrators only have to copy the desired files to the working folders of each mode. It is impossible to change the operation mode by resetting the system to factory defaults. In case the user forget the password. The only way to retrieve the password is to run the Manufacturer maintenance application by copying the application to a SD card and cold resting the device.

Step:

1. Copy the desired files to the working folder of the operation mode

2. Follow Section “Switch the operation mode between Admin mode and User mode” to switch operation mode.

4-2-2 Overwrite Factory Default

Architecture Introduction:

The Manufacturer provides a mechanism to merge the OEM application and OEM specific settings into WindowCE operating system during booting phase. This feature can make OEM stuffs as system default components. There are many benefits for device maintenance. It is a valuable feature for OEM doesn’t have to reinstall OEM programs after end user reset the device to factory default mode. This benefit also helps to reduce the RMA cost from OEM vender. Because of this system architecture, WindowCE operating system and OEM application programs are not merged together. So both parts can be upgraded separately.

Architecture of the OEM Device Manager

System Integrator should base on the directory structure of WindowCE to prepare the OEM installation files in SD card. All files in “GHARST” file directory would be copy into WindowCE file system during cold booting phase. By the way, the config files in “configfiles” directory are for system registry maintenance.

GHARST

Oem.cfg

Configfiles

Windows Program Files My Documents

Documents and Settings

System.cfg

Temp

Merge an application program into default operating system by using the OEM Device Manager

 Example:

- For Auto-running the OEM application at booting phase of user

mode when after reset to factory default.

1. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card.

2. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “Windows”.

3. Change into “Windows” folder to create directory “StartUp_”.

4. Copy the OEM application file into “Windows->StartUp_” folder. [Second way is: copy OEM application file into “Windows” folder, creates a lnk file of OEM application and copy it into “Windows->StartUp_” folder.

5. Put SD card into the SD socket on the device.

6. Use OEM The device Manager to merge all files in “GHARST” folder in SD card into the device. After the file integration process, all OEM specify files will be the system default components of the device.

- Place the OEM application at “Programs” folder in Windows Start

menu - System running in user mode.

1. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card.

2. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “Windows”.

3. Change into “Windows” folder to create directory “Programs_”.

4. Copy the OEM application file into “Windows->Programs_” folder. [Second way is: copy OEM application file into “Windows” folder, creates a lnk file of OEM application and copy it into “Windows->Programs_” folder]

5. Put SD card into the SD socket on the device.

How to overwrite the factory default settings by using the OEM Device Manager

Two config files are used to modify the registry settings of factory default mode. System Integrator is easy to add and/or modify the registry key without upgraded the image of WindowsCE operating system. The way to

remove the registry key is to put empty to the key value in the config file. System.cfg – Using for early registry initialization stage at booting phase. Oem.cfg – Using for system registry initialization stage at booting phase.

 Example:

- Overwrite the factory default backlight level setting.

1. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card.

2. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “configfiles”.

3. Prepare the oem.cfg config file by text editor. Input following setting:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight] "BatteryBacklightLevel"=dword:7 "ACBacklightLevel"=dword:A

4. Copy oem.cfg file into “configfiles” folder.

5. Put SD card into the SD socket on device.

6. Use OEM Device Manager to merge all files in “GHARST” folder in SD card into device. After the integration process, all OEM desired settings will be the system default settings of device.

- Overwrite the default WiFi state to power on mode. (Default is

power down)

1. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card.

2. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “configfiles”.

3. Prepare or modify the oem.cfg config file by text editor. Input following setting:

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NdisPower]

4. Store oem.cfg file into “configfiles” folder.

5. Put SD card into the SD socket on device.

6. Use the OEM device manager to merge all files in “GHARST” folder in SD card into device. After the integration process, all OEM desired settings will be the system default settings of device.

- Remove a registry key from the registry in factory default settings

Set the key to empty. Factory manager will remove the specific key from the default system registry. Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\RegistryKey] "ValueName"=

Overwrite Factory Default Registry Settings for OEM Customization (oem.cfg)
