or both battery packs.
12 Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet Powered by Android
Page 17
Battery Status and Management
Battery icons on the Status bar shows the status of installed
batteries. The large battery icon represents the removable
battery while a smaller battery icon represents an optional
internal battery. The status of these icons follows:
If both the internal and the removable batteries are
installed, a bigger battery icon and a smaller battery
icon are shown.
If a removable battery is not present, both battery
icons are shown, but the larger battery icon has an
exclamation mark signifying that it is not present.
If only the removable battery is present, only the large
battery icon is shown.
Charging the Battery Pack(s)
For tablets that have both a removable battery pack and
an optional internal battery pack, the intelligent internal
battery charging circuit rst charges the battery pack with
the least amount of energy. When this battery pack comes
to the same level as the other battery pack, then both
battery packs are charged at the same time until they are
both fully charged.
Battery packs are charged most efciently at room
temperature (68°F or 20°C). They will not charge if it is too
hot or too cold.
Battery Life
Battery life on a full charge is about 12 hours for the
removable battery and an additional 5-6 hours for the
optional internal battery. Battery life varies depending on
the applications used, backlight usage, and radio usage.
The shelf life for battery packs is about one year. The battery
packs should be recharged at least once per year. This
prevents the battery packs from discharging to a level that
might damage the batteries. Battery packs that are not
recharged at least every year could fail to work or may
have reduced capacity. Battery packs typically last 1,000 to
3,000 charging cycles.
Chapter 2 Standard Features 13
Page 18
CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the Mesa 3 from

the factory for replacement of the optional internal battery,
although the internal battery pack is designed to last the
life of the tablet.
CAUTION: The unit is not designed to run on external power
!
without a battery installed. Doing so can damage internal
components of your unit and void the warranty.

Data Format
On the Data Format screen, you can set up a prex and
sufx.
Reading a Tag
Once the RFID Connector utility is set up, you can start
reading tags.
1. Leave the RFID Connector utility running in the
background.
2. Open an application or document to receive the RFID
data and tap in the text eld where you want the data
to be placed.
3. For best read performance, hold the Mesa 3 with the
display facing you, and the tag directly away from
the back of the Mesa 3. The RFID reader is internal and
roughly 2” to the right of the camera when looking at
the back of the Mesa 3. The best orientation is portrait or
landscape with Mesa 3 orthogonal or normal to the tag.
The distance required between the tag and Mesa 3
varies depending on the tag. This is not a long range
reader, so you may need to be as close as a few inches
and may be as far as 3 feet from the tag.
4. Press the scan button ( by default any time the
application is opened). When the tag is successfully
scanned, the RFID information is placed in your
application or document.
Antenna for RFID Reader
The antenna is a circularly polarized antenna. This has
reduced range, but allows the Mesa 3 to be held in any
orientation (linear antennas can have longer range if held
in the right orientation).
RS-232 Port
An RS-232 9-Pin D-Sub connector is an option for the Mesa 3.
It provides either 5 VDC or 12 VDC on pin 9. The behavior of
the port can be congured in Settings > RS-232.
When you open the RS-232 Settings Screen, the default
conguration is shown. The options can be edited to suit
your application:
28 Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet Powered by Android
Page 33
Enable RS-232 port: When this option is off, it powers
down. When it is on, it powers up the RS-232 hardware. It
then displays the assigned COM port number.
Note: If you do not have a device plugged into the RS232 port, the port pins corrode more quickly when left
powered up. Use the setting to power down when it is not
going to be used.
Congure pin 9 as input or 5 volt power supply: Pin 9 is the
Ring-In signal input. It is rarely used by devices anymore
and has become a popular pin to provide a power
source to an RS-232 device. Select Input if your device
uses Ring-In signal or if it does not need to be powered
from the RS-232 port. Select 5 Volt Power Supply to make
pin 9 a power supply to be used by the RS-232 device.
The power supply is enabled automatically without
needing any interaction with the COM port. Depending
on the model, the power supply is either 5 or 12 VDC.
The 12 VDC output option on RS-232 is always on and not
controlled by settings.

Storage, Maintenance, and Recycling
Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain
and recycle the Mesa 3.
Storing the Mesa 3 and Battery Pack
When the tablet is not being charged and is in a sleep state,
it draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to
maintain the memory (RAM) of the tablet in the same state it
was in when it was awake. We recommend charging the tablet
each night or weekend when it is in a sleep state.
Note: Data and programs are secure as long as they have
been saved, even if the battery pack becomes discharged.
The tablet does not depend on the battery to store the data
for extended periods.
