Battery

"

NOTE: It is important to charge your Industrial Mobile Computer for at least

4 hours before you use it the first time.

This Industrial Mobile Computer uses a 1550 mAh lithium
ion rechargeable battery.

If your computer goes into a shutdown mode because of low
battery condition, your computer will not operate. Your
computer does this to ensure that the data is protected.

1-6 600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer User’s Guide

SECTION 1 General Information

Although the battery will protect the data against loss for
up to 72 hours, it is best to put your unit on a charging
source when you first detect low battery.

Memory

Three types of memory are available with this Industrial
Mobile Computer:

" Main Memory DRAM
" Flash ROM
" CompactFlash Cards

Main Memory

Standard main memory DRAM configuration is 16
megabytes (MB) with an available option of 32 MB. Memory
and the real time clock is protected up to 72 hours by your
computer shutting down operation after detecting low
battery.

Flash ROM

The 512K Flash ROM stores the BIOS. Flash ROM cannot
be used for storage of customer applications or data files.

CompactFlash Cards

Your Industrial Mobile Computer employs an internal card
slot. The internal slot is a CompactFlash Type I storage
device. This device acts as the boot drive for the system.
This CompactFlash card is not externally accessible.

Your 600 Series provides an optional external card slot. The
external slot is a CompactFlash Type II slot that is
accessible at the top of your computer. It can be used for an
additional CompactFlash storage card, or a CompactFlash
modem. If part of the modem extends beyond the top of the
unit it becomes vulnerable to breakage if dropped. Removal
of the device is recommended between communication.
Additionally, most CompactFlash modem devices are not

This section tells you how to:

" Charge the battery
" Power-up your 600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer
" Install CompactFlash cards

Getting Started

Unpack your 600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer and
inspect it for signs of physical damage from shipment or
storage.

When you start using your computer or any time that all
power has been completely removed, you are “cold booting”
it. The method you use depends on your application.

For example you may download the application and data
into your computer. Or, you may use CompactFlash cards to
load the application and data.

Depending on the method you are using, the result will be
the same but the steps you go through may vary from the
way this user’s guide presents the material.

600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer User’s Guide 2-1

Charging the Battery

Charging your battery pack can be done either in a dock or
using an ac wall charger connected to your computer.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 shows your computer being
connected to an ac charger. Figure 2-2 on page 2-3 shows
the computer and explains the Power Status conditions that
you might see during the charging process.

Normal time to recharge your battery pack is four hours.
When your battery is fully charged your computer should
run about 8--10 hours.

Booting Your Computer

For DOS Applications

1. Apply power by pressing the [I/O] (Resume/Suspend)
key or pressing the reset keys ([Gold], [Esc], [0])
simultaneously and holding for three seconds. The
Power Status LED will light.

2. The default load on the card displays these choices:

1. NorandRUtilities

2. DOS Command Prompt. Making this choice puts
you to the DOS prompt 600 C:\>.

3. If you do not make a choice within 10 seconds, your
600 Series computer automatically boots to the
NorandRUtilities. From the Utilities Programs, as­suming you have the appropriate host software and
hardware, you can setup the communication options
and also download your application.

SECTION 2Operation

For Windows CE Applications

The following steps outline the initial boot and Windows CE
load on the 600 Series Computer.

1. The AT BIOS loads the boot sector from the IDE drive.

2. After NK.BIN (Windows CE memory image) is loaded
and executed, Windows CE is in control of the system.
From this point, only Windows CE functions are acces­sible to application developers for the 602 Computer.

3. TASKMAN.EXE (the Windows CE shell program) is
executed by Windows CE. The first time CE is execut­ed, “Task Manager” performs pen calibration and
writes the calibration results to the registry. The regis­try is then flushed to persistent storage.

2-6 600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer User’s Guide

SECTION 2 Operation

“Task Manager,” then searches for the
“\Storage Card\Wince\WCESTART.INI” file. If the
file is found, the contents of the file are parsed for any
user application to launch and execute. If no applica­tion is found, “Task Manager” allows manual browsing
of the files system and execution of programs.

Installing Windows CE
Components

This section outlines the Windows CE release installation
for the 600 Series Computer. The installation includes a
demo application.

Reflashing the 600 Series Computer installs the most
current System Management Interface (SMI BIOS) for the
600 Series Computer and erases the current registry for
Windows CE that is stored in flash memory. Erasing the
registry allows the system to use registry changes
incorporated in the new Windows CE release.

"

NOTE: Upgrading flash erases the registry and destroys previous settings.

Perform the following steps:

1. Copy 600FLSH.BIN to computer or put on external
card.

2. Start up CE, then select Start, then Settings, then
Control Panel.

3. Select the icon for the Intermect Utilities.

4. Select the BIOS UPGRADE tab then press the but­ton [...] to bring up the standard browse window.

5. Double tap on 600FLSH.BIN

6. Press the UPGRADE button to start the BIOS Up­grade. You might be prompted to charge your unit
first. Highly recommended to begin with a fully
charged battery.

600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer User’s Guide 2-7

7. Reset your computer when completed with the up­grade.

Running Windows CE and the Demo
Application

Do the following to run the demo application using the
Windows CE operating system:

1. Simultaneously press and hold the [GOLD], and
[Esc], and [0] keys for at least 3 seconds to reset the
600 Series Computer.

2. Calibrate the touch screen. You may have to calibrate
the screen several times until the calibration applet
detects a “good” calibration within its tolerance limits.
After finishing calibration, the Windows CE desktop
will appear with the “Task Manager” application up
and running.

3. The demo application starts from “Task Manager”
with sample menus for several NMSD base applica­tions: Invoice, Service, and Pickup and Delivery.
Menu buttons for Print and Charge Card utilities are
available for demo, but are not functional.

9. At the Finetune Calibration screen, either tap Save
or make the adjustments you want.

Panning

Panning is moving around within the display area to view
data. The program or application on your hand-held
computer was designed on a full size pc display area. To see
all that data you must move around on that larger area
with your smaller display.

Remember these suggestions. First, the cursor will return
to the upper left-corner of the display. Second, to keep from
getting lost, put your stylus in the middle of the display
area and drag it to the right, left, upper, or lower edge.
Dragging it in this method takes you to the outer parameter
of the display. This shows you where you are on the display.

600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer User’s Guide 2-9

SECTION 2Operation

Panning Default

Your hand-held computer comes from the factory with
panning turned OFF. It is helpful to change the default to
ON for setting up your system. After you are pleased with
the way your application works change the default back to
OFF.

Changing Default

1. Press I/O key to suspend your computer.

2. Copy System.ini to an ATA in the external slot or
over HyperTerminal to a pc.

3. Locate your Windows System.ini file.

4. Go into the non--panning display configuration
file and add a semicolon (;) in front of each line of
code (do not change the non-panning display configu­ration line).

5. Go into the Panning display configuration and re­move the semicolon (;) from in front of each line of
code (do not change the Panning display configuration
line). Below is shown how to modify this code.

The column on the left is the default setting. Note that
there is not a semicolon in front of the lines of code
(excluding the first line that does contain a semicolon). The
column of the right shows the lines after you add the
semicolon to each line.

6. Save the changes to System.ini file.

7. Copy file from the external ATA or pc via HyperTer-
minal to boot ATA. You have to reboot for the new set­tings to take effect.

After you are finished making changes, go back and change
the default back to non-panning. To do this, of course, you
reverse the process both for the non--panning and panning
display configurations.
