General Information SECTION 1
Backlight and Display Contrast
Adjustment
Your hand-held computer display contains a backlight for
operating in dark conditions. Although it greatly improves
operating in dark conditions it does shorten your battery
run time. Your hand-held computer will shut the backlight
off when there is no activity. Section 2 explains how to turn
on the backlight and adjust the contrast of the display.
Battery
Main Battery Pack
This hand-held computer uses a rechargeable lithium ion
(Li Ion) battery pack.
Your hand-held computer senses the capacity (run time) left
in your main battery pack before it goes into a low battery
condition.
This user’s guide may occasionally use the term “cycles”
when presenting rechargeable battery instructions. Cycles
are the number of times the rechargeable battery pack can
be drained, and recharged during the life of the battery. The
rechargeable battery design should give you many cycles of
use.
When you press the ON key to suspend operation, your
hand-held computer does not completely turn itself off. The
main battery pack is protecting data and if the pack is completely charged it will protect the data for about six days.
Backup Battery
When your hand-held computer goes into shutdown mode
because of low battery condition, the data is protected by
the backup battery. Your hand-held computer will not accept data or process transactions until you deal with the
1-12 6220 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide
Page 19
SECTION 1 General Information
low battery condition. A fully charged backup battery will
save data for about 10 hours.
Your hand-held computer contains a rechargeable NiCd
backup battery. Most of the time the backup battery is in a
rest mode, ready to take over data protection instantly
when the main battery cells are in low condition or out of
the hand-held computer.
If you are storing your hand-held computer for a long period
remove all batteries. This will prevent any damage that
could occur to your hand-held computer should the cells develop a leak.
Memory
This hand-held computer design uses these types of
memory:
" Main Memory DRAM
" Flash ROM
" PC Cards
Main Memory
Your main memory DRAM options are 8 or 16 Megabytes.
Main memory is ordered at the time this product was purchased. You can upgrade to more memory but you must
send your hand-held computer to your Customer Support
Center. The main memory requires batteries in your handheld computer to protect it. This memory is protected by the
backup battery during low main battery conditions or when
the main battery pack is removed.
Flash ROM
Your hand-held computer has 2 MB of flash ROM. This
stores the BIOS and DOS firmware. Applications stored in
flash ROM are copied into DRAM for execution. Flash does
not require a battery in your hand-held computer to maintain its contents.
6220 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-13
Page 20
General Information SECTION 1
PC Cards
Different brands of PC cards can be used in your hand-held
computer. Memory cards are available in a variety of sizes
and types. Check with your Sales Representative or System
Engineer for specific options.
Your hand-held computer provides two PC memory card
slots. These slots can be used for storage of data, much like
a floppy disk drive on a PC. PC card slots can also be used
for modems, radios, and other options as they become available.
You can use a Type II card in each drive at the same time. If
using a Type III card, it only works in drive A (closest to
display). However, you cannot use a Type III and a Type II
card at the same time. Type III cards include some types of
disk drives and radios.

SECTION 1 General Information
Reset Switch
In the rare event that your hand-held computer fails to respond to your input, it may be necessary to “reset.” Avoid
using the reset switch as this increases the chances that
data will be lost. Only use the reset switch after trying all
other solutions. Refer to the Troubleshooting Table in Section 4 and try those solutions before resetting your computer.
The Reset switch access is located behind the 15-pin connector. To access use a straightened large paper clip, insert
one end in the reset switch hole.

Introduction
This section tells you how to:
" Install the main and backup batteries
" “Power-up” your hand-held computer
" Install optional memory cards
" Connect to peripheral devices
Getting Started
Unpack your 6220 Hand-Held Computer and inspect it for
signs of physical damage that may have occurred in shipment or storage.
Fully charge the batteries in your hand-held computer before using them. Put the computer on a charging source for
at least 10 hours to ensure that the backup battery and
main battery pack are completely charged.
When you start using your hand-held computer or any time
that all power has been completely removed, you are “cold
booting” your hand-held computer. The method you use depends on your application.
For example you may download (transfer from the host
computer to your hand-held computer) the application and
data. Or, you may use PC cards to load the application and
data.

SECTION 3 Routine Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Hand-Held Computer
Periodic cleaning helps maintain the appearance and reliability of your hand-held computer. When cleaning your
hand-held computer, inspect the keyboard, handstrap, covers, display, connectors, and peripheral products for obvious
signs of damage or wear.
B
CAUTION: Do not use any abrasive cleaning compounds, ketonic solvents
(acetone or ketone) or aromatic solvents (toluene or xylene) to
clean any part of your hand-held computer. These solutions will
cause permanent damage to your hand-held computer.
Never pour cleaners directly on the hand-held computer.
Instead put the cleaner on a soft cloth and gently wipe the
case.
Case and Display
We recommend cleaning the exterior of your hand-held computer using a soft cloth dampened with:
" MICRO-CLEAN II cleanser, made by Foresight In-
ternational, Inc. 4887 F Street, Omaha, NE
68127-0205 (telephone number 1-800-637-1344)
" Glass cleaners or isopropyl alcohol
Surface Connectors
If surface connectors become dirty or tarnished, clean them
with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. It may also be
necessary to lightly burnish them with a pencil eraser.
Check the connectors on the docks or printers to ensure
they are clean.

Menu Option 1 BACKUP
"
NOTE: The backup battery conditioning cycle takes up to 22.5 hours to com-
plete when the backup battery is fully charged at the beginning of the
cycle.
A condition cycle cannot be stopped by any means except
removing the charge, when there is a power failure, or in
extreme temperatures. Conditioning is not allowed and is
6220 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide BB--3333
Page 84
PEN*KEYRUtilities Program
stopped when temperatures fall below 0°C (32°F) or rise
above 40°C (104°F).
Considerations
As battery conditioning removes charge from the batteries,
take care to keep the computer on charge once you start a
conditioning cycle or if a condition cycle stops due to error.
If the computer is removed from charge during a condition
cycle, the computer may suffer data loss or reset itself depending on the battery condition. Also, as the state of the
batteries is unknown, improper functioning of the backup
battery system may occur and result in improper computer
behavior and data loss if the computer is used for data processing purposes before the batteries can be fully recharged.
Due to the risk involved in conditioning, remove important
data from the computer before you start a condition cycle. If
anything goes wrong, this data can be restored.
If errors are reported during the condition cycle, the condition cycle terminates. If this occurs, the battery being conditioned should charge completely or be replaced with a
charged battery before you use it. It takes two hours for the
main battery to charge and 12.5 hours for the backup battery to charge. To reduce chances of condition cycle errors,
keep the computer on charge until the cycle is complete and
only cycle the batteries in temperatures below 30°C (86°F).

PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association)
An industry group responsible for creation of the standard
for devices (slightly larger than a credit card) for small
computers, such as laptop and hand-held computers.
Formerly, devices were referred to as PCMCIA cards, but
are now generally referred to as PC Cards, while PCMCIA
is a reference to the standard.
PEN*KEY Utilities
A program that provides the basic functions needed to
prepare the PEN*KEY for use, including program load and
data communications.
Plug and Play
The combination of BIOS, operating system, and peripheral
device components that provides an environment that
configures itself, thereby avoiding potential hardware
conflicts for the operating system by polling the peripheral
devices, assessing their requirements, and determining and
implementing optimal settings for each device.

Upload
The transmission of data from a mobile computer to a host
computer.
Wireless
The transmission of data using radio waves.
The wireless access point provides store-and-forward
operation (a hop) with each frame transmitted twice over
the wireless media to reach its destination. Because frames
are transmitted twice, the amount of wireless traffic over
the radio network doubles.
In general, the throughput of a wireless access point has
about half the effective bandwidth of a wired bridge,
Glossary-6 6220 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide
Page 95
because all frames received on the radio channel must be
forwarded on the same channel. Therefore, using a wireless
access point exchanges performances for ease of
installation.
Wireless Stations
An inclusive term that refers to network terminals and
computers equipped with wireless NICs. Network
terminals include the INTERMEC RT1100 Radio Terminal,
RT1700 Radio Terminal, and RT5900 Radio Terminal, and
the TRAKKER ANTARES products. Wireless computers
include the JANUS Terminal, PEN*KEY 6400 Computer,
and PEN*KEY 6550 Computer.
