How To Connect or Remove the Battery Pack

Warning: Never remove or replace any battery in a hazardous location.
Note: The FC300 will not function unless the battery pack is in place and securely latched.
Note: Be sure to place the unit in Suspend Mode (by pressing the Power key or tapping Start | Suspend) before removing the battery. Failing to properly place the device in Suspend mode will result in a loss of all unsaved data.
The main battery is located in a compartment on the back of the unit. The battery case serves as the back cover for the battery well of the FC300.
With a fully charged backup battery, an FC300 will retain data, while the main battery is removed and replaced with a fully charged main battery, for 5 minutes. Important: When the backup battery power is Low or Very Low connect the AC adapter to the FC300 before replacingthe main battery.
Note: The battery should not be replaced in a dirty, harsh or hazardous environment. When the battery is not connected to the FC300, any dust or moisture that enters the battery well or connector may transfer to the battery/well terminals, potentially causing damage.
Warning : Only use LXE MX9380BATTERY 161888-0001 or 161915-0001 (Low Temperature) 163086-0001 batteries as replacements.

6 Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus
For Review - Do Not Distribute - LXE Confidential

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen.
Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use. Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computerscreen. Using the stylus to tap icons on the touchscreen is the basic action that can:
● Open applications
● Choose menu commands
● Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
● Drag the slider in a scroll bar
● Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
● Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
● Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using the scanner/imager or an input/output device
connected to the serial port.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touchscreen with the stylus and holding it for a short time. A stylus replacement kit is available.
