Introduction
The XM Series rugged mobile computer delivers all the built-in capabilities that today’s business
applications demand. Plus, it’s smaller, lighter and far less expensive than comparable products. Designed
for maximum value and performance, the XM60 is a cost-effective mobile solution for Windows® CE
applications.
About the Janam XM60
The XM60 delivers powerful computing performance packaged in a small, light and truly pocketable mobile
computer. It features a color, quarter-VGA display, Freescale™ MX21 processor, backlit numeric keypad,
WLAN and Bluetooth. The XM60 weighs less than 10 ounces, meets IP54 sealing requirements and
withstands multiple 4-foot/1.2m drops to concrete across a wide temperature range.
Further enhancing its value, the XM60 features integrated 1D barcode scanning as well as built-in 2D
barcode scanning capability. Janam’s 2D scanning solution enables users to upgrade barcode scanning
capability from 1D to 1D/2D on any device at any time with a simple firmware upgrade. With Adaptus®
Imaging Technology, the XM Series easily reads all types of barcode symbologies including linear,
stacked and 2D. It offers the flexibility to adapt as business needs change, without the need to invest in
new hardware.

the device cannot maintain any user data.
To charge the battery using the USB syncing/charging cable or serial charging cable:
1. Connect the power supply to the USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable.
2. Connect snap-on end of USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable to bottom of
XM60, making sure the word TOP on the connector faces front.
3. Insert country-specific AC plug, and plug in the power supply.
4. The LED will illuminate to confirm connection (orange indicates charging, green indicates fully charged
and red indicates fault).
5. The battery is fully charged in approximately two hours.
To charge the battery using the single-slot or four-slot cradle:
1. Connect the power supply to the cradle.
2. Connect the line cord to the appropriate power supply.
3. Plug in the power supply.
4. Insert the XM60 into the cradle. Important: Proper insertion is required to ensure connection. Be
sure to insert the device as follows:
• Place the XM60 in cradle well (seating the device without trying to join connectors).
• Tilt-rotate the XM60 forward (bringing the top end of the unit forward) as you apply downward
pressure to fully insert in cradle well, joining connectors.
5. The LED will illuminate to confirm connection (orange indicates charging, green indicates fully charged
and red indicates fault).
6. The battery is fully charged in approximately two hours.
Remove the battery from spare battery charging well
Do not force-pull the battery from charging well. Follow these instructions to remove the battery:
1. While gently holding down with thumb, slip index finger down against the battery so that you feel the
edge where the battery meets the cradle.
2. Press down and forward with index finger to lift battery edge.
Turn on the XM60
The first time the device is turned on, calibrate the screen using the stylus.
The stylus is located on the back of the device. To calibrate, simply follow the
on-screen instructions and remember to save your settings.
Note: If your XM60 came pre-loaded with a custom so ftware app lica tio n, a

In some situations, the application may

upgrade process from the main
application display.
It is possible that the ROM update
process was unexpectedly terminated
and the device needs a reboot.
Sometimes, Windows attempts to find

sometimes third) attempt, Windows will

impact the process.
This can happen when the process is
aborted and the updated ROM file has
been placed on the removable drive. In
some situations, the letters USB may no
longer appear, and you will need to
presume the update will take place.
That means, the device has a bootprogram that can still connect with
Windows, but the display is no longer
functional.

Reset the XM60
To soft reset:
In most situations, a soft reset restarts the device and saves all stored records and entries. However, any
data that has not been saved will b e lo st d ur ing a s oft r eset . To pe rfo rm a soft rese t, do the fo llowin g:
1. Remove the battery door from the back of the unit.
2. Locate the reset button.
3. Using the stylus, press the reset button (one time).
4. Replace the battery door.
To hard reset:
A hard reset returns the XM60 to factory settings, removing ALL applications and data from the device
sure that all data is bac ked up be fore per form ing a ha rd rese t.
To perform a hard reset, do the followin g :
1. Remove the battery door from the back of the unit.
2. Locate the reset button.
3. While holding the arrow-up key, located on the front panel, right side of the computer, use the stylus to
press the reset button (once). Continue to hold the arrow-up key.
4. After the reset has occurred and the calibration screen appears on the screen, release the arrow-up
key.
IMPORTANT NOTE about battery door: XM60 mobile computers feature a battery door removal
detection switch. This is designed to protect against data loss if the battery is removed during data
collection or processing. The system will not fully operate when the battery cover is removed. As a result
of this feature, XM60 devices automatically create a safe state until the battery cover is secured, meaning
a device will power-down until the battery door is closed. It will then recall and resume from the user’s
most recent screen when the battery door is fully in place.
Power-down: Upon performing a reset, you may find that the device automatically powers-down shortly
after the reset begins to take. This is a normal function of the battery door removal detection switch; the
reset will hold. Simply secure the battery door and the XM60 device will resume activity at the last
screen. While there is no technical reason to rush to secure the battery door, you may avoid the powerdown activity by quickly securing the battery door.
