1. Introduction
1.1 Safety Instructions (Supplemental Directives)
1.1.1 General Safety Instructions
Where the instructions below use the term device, this refers to the
skeye.pos mobile, the associated desktop cradle, the battery charger station, the
battery and other electrical accessories supplied by skeye or Höft & Wessel.
♦ Use only the HW 50396 desktop cradle or the HW 16396 battery charger to charge
the battery. There is a risk of explosion and fire if other chargers are used.
♦ Never expose your device to extreme temperatures, for example, by leaving it under
the windshield in a vehicle. There is a risk of explosion and fire.
♦ Switch off the device immediately if it starts to emit smoke, unusual odors or noises.
If you continue to use the device, there is a risk of fire and electric shock. Have the
device repaired by the bring-in service.
♦ Please note that the paper cutter on the skeye.pos mobile is sharp and can cause
cuts if handled carelessly.
♦ Do not place any objects on the device! It could fall and injure someone.
♦ Only operate your skeye.pos mobile with the accessories supplied, the use of other
accessories will lead to defects.
♦ Do not use your device in humid environments (bathrooms, swimming pools etc.). It
must be protected against splashes of water and other fluids. Liquids can penetrate
the device through the openings on the casing and cause a short circuit.
♦ Do not insert any objects that do not meet the specified purpose into the openings on
the casing. This will cause damage to the casing and could lead to a short circuit.
♦ Protect your skeye.pos mobile from dust. Dust could penetrate your
skeye.pos mobile and interfere with its proper functioning.
♦ Only store the skeye.pos mobile with a fully charged battery fitted. Otherwise the
power reserves in the floating battery will be consumed. Discharged floating batteries
must be replaced by qualified service personnel.
♦ The skeye.pos mobile is not a toy. Store your skeye.pos mobile out of reach of
young children.
INTRODUCTION
2.01 • 25.03.2010 7
♦ Protect the skeye.pos mobile against theft and misuse!
The skeye.pos mobile contains data that can represent large [monetary] values!
♦ The device does not contain any parts that can be maintained, replaced or repaired
by customers or service personnel not employed by Höft & Wessel! If you open the
device improperly, this leads to the destruction of the casing and to the loss of data
in the skeye.pos mobile!
♦ The device must only be shipped in original or comparable robust packaging.
Shipping the device e.g. in a normal padded bag does not provide sufficient impact
and pressure protection.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions for the Battery
A lithium-ion battery is fitted at the rear of the skeye.pos mobile. The lithium-ion battery
is characterized by a high energy density. It is thermally stable, delivers a constant
voltage throughout the discharge period and is not subject to a memory effect.
♦ The battery is sensitive to mechanical and thermal shocks. Furthermore, the
chemicals contained in the battery are highly reactive. The battery should therefore
only be used for the purpose intended and should be handled with care. Otherwise,
you run the risk of causing an explosion or fire, which could result in serious personal
injury!
Mechanical shock
♦ The battery must not be:
• thrown!
• dismantled!
• modified!
• punctured with a nail or other sharp objects!
• subjected to impact by a heavy object, for example, trodden on or hit with a
hammer!
Mechanical damage can lead to internal short circuits. The high current can melt the
casing and cause it to catch fire. Under certain circumstances, this defect may not be
immediately apparent. The battery can still explode or burst into flames 30 minutes after
the damage is inflicted.
Chemical Reactions
♦ Do not immerse the battery in water or salt water or allow it to get wet!
Lithium is a highly reactive metal. The components of a lithium-ion battery are highly
combustible. Although lithium-ion batteries are hermetically sealed, they should not
be immersed in water; (defective) lithium cells react violently with water, particularly
when fully charged. Burning batteries must therefore be extinguished using sand, not
water. Otherwise, there is a risk of explosion!
INTRODUCTION
8 2.01 • 25.03.2010
Thermal Shock
♦ The battery must not be:
• used or charged close to sources of heat such as heaters or open fires!
• connected to cigarette lighters and other chargers!
• thrown into a fire or heated!
• recharged close to open fires or in extremely hot weather!
• soldered!
• placed in a microwave or in pressurized containers!
Exposing the lithium-ion batteries to thermal shock can cause the internal barrier
between the fluids (separator) to melt, which will lead to a short circuit. This poses a
risk of explosion and fire!
Explosion
♦ The battery must not be:
• transported or stored together with metallic objects such as hairpins, necklaces or
tools! These objects could create a connection between the positive and negative
terminals of the battery. The resulting short circuit creates a risk of fire or
explosion!
• stored with other chargers! Use only the HW 50396 desktop cradle or the HW
16396 battery charger to charge the battery. If you use a different battery charger,
the battery may be overcharged thus creating a risk of fire and explosion!
Internal protection circuits prevent total discharge, overcharging or overloading of the
battery. If the internal protection circuit is defective or is short-circuited, the battery may
catch fire or even explode.
Health hazards
♦ If electrolytic fluid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub them.
Instead, rinse them out under running water and then seek immediate medical
assistance.
The electrolyte can be rinsed out with water, it does not react like lithium.
♦ If electrolytic fluid leaking from the battery gets onto your clothing or your skin, you
must wash your skin or clothing under running water to prevent contamination of the
skin.
The electrolyte can be rinsed out with water, it does not react like lithium.
1.1.3 Safety Notes for the Docking Station/ Battery Charger
♦ The battery may only be charged with the battery charging device recommended by
the manufacturer. The utilisation of another battery charger might be dangerous and
leads to an end of the warranty.
♦ Do not try to open, repair or modify your device. The manufacturer will not be liable
for any damage caused in that way. Apart from other things, the function for
correctly charging the battery may be influenced. As a result, excessive charging
voltage, uncontrolled charging and discharge current, leakage of harmful
substances, excessive heat generation, bursting or fire may occur.
INTRODUCTION
2.01 • 25.03.2010 9
♦ If the docking station/battery charger changes shape or colour, generates heat or in
any way appears abnormal stop using it. Return it to the distributor or manufacturer
from whom you purchased the docking station/battery charger.
♦ Use the docking station/battery charger only with the supplied power supply. The
main voltage must correspond to the technical data mentioned on the power supply.
♦ Use the docking station/battery charger only in dry, closed rooms and not in direct
sunlight, e.g. behind windows.
♦ The device has to be connected to a USB 1.1 or higher interface.
♦ Keep the device out of the reach of small children.
1.1.4 Safety Instructions for the Power Supply
The power supply can be used to power the desktop cradle or the battery charger.
♦ Never plug in or remove the power cable with wet hands. This could give you a
severe electrical shock.
♦ Handle the power cable with care. For example, do not place any objects on the
cable, do not subject the cable to excessive bending, twisting or tensile forces.
The use of damaged cables can lead to a fire or an electrical shock.
♦ Do not run the cable close to heaters! The cable's insulation may be damaged and
this can cause a fire or a severe electrical shock.
♦ Hold the cable by the plug when removing it from an electrical outlet. Do not pull the
cable itself! The cable's insulation may be damaged and this can cause a severe
electrical shock.
♦ Never attempt to modify or repair the power cable. Improperly executed repairs to
the cable could cause a severe electrical shock or lead to fire as a result of a short
circuit.
♦ Always connect the device directly to a wall outlet; do not use plug strips.
Overloading a plug strip can cause a fire, resulting in serious personal injury.
♦ The supply voltage must match the technical data displayed on the device, an
overload or underload could cause a fire.
♦ Disconnect the power plug from the wall on a regular basis and clean the base of the
contacts and the area between the contacts. If the power plug is left plugged in for
long periods, dust can accumulated at the base of the contacts, which could lead to a
short circuit and fire.
♦ Only connect the cable in the manner described in this manual. Other cable
connections could lead to a short circuit and cause a fire.
♦ Make sure that plug is clean and dry before you plug it in.
♦ Always connect the power cable to the device before connecting it to a wall outlet.
♦ Push the poles of the plug all the way into the wall outlet.
♦ For safety reasons, remove the power plug from the wall outlet if you will not be
using the device for a long period.
INTRODUCTION
10 2.01 • 25.03.2010
Warranty instructions
♦ Only use genuine accessories with your skeye.pos mobile. Failure to comply with
this regulation will invalidate the warranty.
♦ Never attempt to open your skeye.pos mobile and/or carry out repairs and/or
modifications yourself. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage that
may be incurred as a result.
♦ Any interference by unauthorized persons will invalidate the warranty.
♦ Only chargers recommended by the manufacturer may be used to charge the
battery. The use of a different charger could pose a hazard; this will also invalidate
the warranty for your skeye.pos mobile.
♦ Damage caused by improper packaging of the skeye.pos mobile during shipping
and/or unauthorized interference will invalidate the warranty.
1.1.5 Safety Notes on the Imager with LED Aimer
If your skeye.pos mobile is equipped with an imager module with integrated LED
aimer, please observe the following notes:
The LED light source is classified as a class 1 LED according to the following
standard: IEC60825-1 ED 1.2:2001.
A class 1 LED is presumed to be safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation. Even looking directly into the light beam by accident does not do any
harm.
Caution: When changing the settings of the imager/aimer module except for those
described in the user guide the LED radiation may exceed the harmless area of
class 1.
INTRODUCTION
2.01 • 25.03.2010 11
1.1.6 Safety Notes on Radio Transmission
The GSM module is located inside the skeye.pos mobile.
Radio devices (such as GSM) are subject to certain restrictions when used in
proximity to electronic instruments:
Switch off the skeye.pos mobile when instructed to switch off your mobile phone (for
instance in hospitals, care facilities, planes).
♦ When being in an aircraft completely power off your skeye.pos mobile (see
chapter 3.2.). Using the skeye.dart in an aircraft interferes with the electronic
equipment on board and might be dangerous. Please follow the instructions of
the particular airline.
♦ Switch off your skeye.dart in hospitals or similar places to prevent an interference
with medical devices.
♦ The unit may affect pacemakers.
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection recommends a distance of no less
than 20 cm between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to ensure no interference
takes place. This recommendation is also in line with studies and
recommendations issued by independent institutes.
Persons using a pacemaker should:
Always ensure that the switched on skeye.pos mobile is more than 20 cm away
from their pacemaker.
♦ The unit may affect hearing aids.
♦ Interference may be noticed in close proximity to televisions, radios, PCs.
1.1.7 Safety Notes on WLAN
Wireless LAN data communication can be easily intercepted and recorded. Anyone
who is operating a WLAN card in the same subnet can “sniff out” and decrypt any
sent data packets with the appropriate software.
In order to make unauthorised access to your WLAN more difficult, WLAN functions
such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFI Protected Access (WPA) should
be enabled.
Using a VPN allows encryption of the transmitted data and authentication of the
user on the other end.
INTRODUCTION
12 2.01 • 25.03.2010
1.1.7.1 How to Secure your Wireless Network
We have compiled some tips below to make unauthorised access to your WLAN
more difficult.
a. Change the password of the router or access point (very important).
These units are factory-set to a default password. If you do not change this
password anybody can re-configure your router or access point.
b. Change the address range. Unless you have enabled DHCP (automatic IP
address allocation), changing the used address range provides additional
security as the default range no longer works.
c. Give your network a SSID name. This is the network name of your wireless
network. Change the pre-set name and enter another name.
d. Disable SSID broadcast. The router’s default setting enables broadcasting the
network name as this simplifies configuration (for instance in Window XP).
Unfortunately, this also makes your network visible in all WLAN-enabled
devices. By hiding your SSID, your network name is no longer sent out.
e. Enable MAC filtering. Many access points support access control by filtering
MAC addresses. Enable this access control and enter the MAC addresses of
allowed network devices. Now the access point will only allow connections to
your PC. Connection will be denied to any other devices.
f. Enable WEP Encryption. Access points and Wireless LAN adapter labelled
with the WiFi logo can encrypt the transmitted data.
WEP: WEP supports a 40 bit and a 128 bit encryption. However, this encryption
is not 100% secure. There are programs widely available on the Internet that
may capture your WLAN data traffic and use this data to obtain the WEP key.
Though, in case of the 128 bit encryption it takes longer to obtain the WEP key.
The duration of capturing the WLAN data depends on traffic and access point.
WPA: WPA has been developed to eliminate the weakness of the WEP
encryption. WPA can be regarded as the successor of WEP.
If your Access Point supports WPA description use it instead of WEP. Older
devices can be updated to the latest security standard using a software update.
For encryption, WPA uses the "Temporal Key Integrity Protocol" (TKIP). The
protocol needs to be entered in your network connection settings. However,
meanwhile even WPA can be overcome by professionals. More secure
WPA2: The BSI recommends using WPA2 together with a password named
Pre-Shared-Key (PSK). This is called WPA2-PSK. If you do not use a password
that can easily be guessed, these systems may currently be regarded as secure.
A secure password is a password consisting of 32 characters with digits, special
characters as well as capital and small letters.
INTRODUCTION
2.01 • 25.03.2010 13
g. Disable File and Printer Sharing on your Windows PC. (This applies only if
you are not running a server and do not need to access other PCs over the
network). This stops unauthorised access to view or modify files on your PC.
h. Disable the Guest Account on your Windows PC.
i. Install a recommended antivirus program.
j. Install a personal firewall.
Please note that despite all these tips, the WLAN is not fully secure; however,
intruders will have a much harder job breaking into your network.
If you wish to operate your WLAN to a higher safety standard, please contact
an IT security consultant (such as a system house).
1.1.8 Safety Instructions for Data Loss
♦ Back up all data recorded on a regular basis and save these on external storage
media!
Under specific circumstances, virtually all electronic storage systems can be affected
by data loss or data corruption. We therefore accept no liability whatsoever for data
that is lost or rendered otherwise unusable as a result of improper use, repairs,
malfunctions, battery problems, software errors or
any other reasons.

If you cannot start the skeye.pos mobile, carry out a reset.
If the skeye.pos mobile automatically switches to "Suspend Mode" due to an empty

However, the user still has time to replace the battery without losing any data. The
user receives several warnings in good time before this occurs.
If the battery is not replaced, the skeye.pos mobile switches to the "Partially Off"
status before the battery is fully discharged. If the device is left in the "Partially Off"
status for more than 20 days, it switches to the "Complete Off" status to conserve
the floating battery.

through several levels. For this purpose, the skeye.pos mobile switches to the
following states when left unused:
Level 1: The display is dimmed (Dim display) default: 15 s
Level 2: The display is switched off (Turn off display) default: 1 min
Level 3: The device switches to suspend mode default: 2 min
(Auto suspend)
The skeye.pos mobile does not switch to suspend mode if it is executing program
processes, for example, when transmitting data or updating master data.
In addition to the suspend mode, the skeye.pos mobile can be switched off to 2
further statuses using the "PowerOff" software function.
