16 USB/Power Dock
18 Using Vehicle Power
This chapter teaches you about the rechargeable NiMH baery
pack. It typically lasts 12 to 20 hours, and charges in 4–6
hours using a wall charger, vehicle charger (optional), or USB/
PowerDock (optional).
Battery Settings Screen
Understanding the Battery Settings Screen
The baery charge percentage of the Field PC must be
conrmed or manually set using the Baery Seings Screen.
This screen appears whenever:
The baery pack is removed and (re)installed.
The “Power O” option is selected from the “Power Buon”
menu (which appears aer holding the Power Buon for 8
seconds) and then the Field PC is powered back on.
A Hard Reset is performed (by holding down the Power
Buon for 10 seconds).
A Clean Boot (Set to Factory Defaults) is performed.
The charge of the baery pack is fully drained while in
the Field PC, and the unit is then plugged into an AC wall
charger or USB/Power Dock and turns on.
Note: To access the Charge Seings screen, you can either tap the
baery icon or go to Start > Seings > System tab > Power >
Charge Seings tab.
12 Field PC Owner’s Manual
Battery Settings Options
The New Baery Detected screen has four choices:
Same baery, use last values
Full baery
Charge unknown
Enter percentage and capacity
Use Same Baery if the Field PC was turned o and back
on or if the baery was taken out and re-inserted without
being recharged, this option uses the information the
unit already has for the baery seing.
Use Full Baery if the baery is fully charged.
Use Charge Unknown if you do not know the charge of the
baery.
Note: The baery gauging will not be accurate with Charge
Unknown until the baery is fully charged. The baery icon
may not display the percentage of charge correctly.
Use Enter percentage and capacity if you know the charge or
if it is a new baery pack.
Ch 2 Battery and Power 13
Enter the correct percentage if it is known and click Ok. If it is a
new baery pack complete the following steps:
1. Set the Percentage to 10 and leave the Baery Capacity
at 4000.
Note: The factory baery is 4000 mAh and so the default for the
Capacity box is 4000. To learn more about this seing read the
Baery Capacity section.
2. Tap on Ok to save the seings and to close the screen.
3. Plug unit into AC charger to charge the new baery.
Once the baery pack is fully charged, the gauging is
automatically set to 100%.
Battery Capacity
The capacity is the amount of energy a fully charged baery can
supply in milliamp-hours (mAh). The baery capacity of the
factory Field PC baery pack is 4000 so the default seing for the
baery capacity is 4000.
If you are using a dierent baery pack, check its mAh
rating commonly listed on the baery label. For optimum
performance, use baery packs with a 3000 to 4000 mAh
capacity. The higher the capacity the longer the charge is held.
Note: As a baery pack ages, operation time is reduced. The capacity
seing for an older baery pack can be adjusted downward to reduce
charging time and to more accurately represent the baery capacity.
Charging the Battery Pack
Recharging the NiMH Battery Pack
We recommend charging the Field PC baery pack when it is
not in use. The Field PC prevents the baery pack from being
overcharged if le plugged into the wall charger.
14 Field PC Owner’s Manual
Temperature Ranges for Charging the NiMH Battery Pack
The Field PC NiMH baery pack is charged most eciently at
temperatures ranging between 10° to 20° C (50° to 68° F) when
the AC power adapter is used. The Field PC baery pack does
not charge outside of the range 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F).
Using the Alkaline Battery Holder (optional accessory)
To properly use the alkaline baery holder, complete the
following steps:
1. Open the alkaline baery holder by pressing the tabs
simultaneously on either side and pulling.
2. Insert three unused AA alkaline baeries by following the
+ and – signs respectively.
Note: It is important that only alkaline baeries are used. We
recommend using non-rechargeable high quality alkaline baeries
such as Duracell® Ultra or Energizer® Lithium.
3. Close the alkaline baery holder by sliding the door in
place and press down to snap it securely shut.
Ch 2 Battery and Power 15
4. Follow the directions for changing a baery pack to install
the alkaline baery holder. However, the charge seings
screen will not pop up.
The alkaline baery holder is to be used as an emergency,
secondary source of power, not as the primary source. The
baeries do not last as long as the standard baery pack and
have a lower performance rate. The display heater cannot be
enabled and the backlight is disabled when the baery power
level is low.
Please recycle used alkaline baeries in a responsible way.
USB/Power Dock
The USB/Power Dock charges the Field PC, and allows you
to transfer and synchronize les between the Field PC and
a desktop computer. The Power Dock is ordered separately.

Bluetooth Virtual COM Ports
Some application programs connect using a virtual COM port
(serial port) when making a Bluetooth connection. To make a
connection possible for such programs, you must rst set up
a virtual COM port on the Field PC. Once created, this virtual
port can be used like any other COM port. For example, you
can use a virtual COM port for programs that connect to a GPS
receiver.
When seing up a virtual COM port, you must specify if the
COM port is an outgoing COM port or an incoming COM port.
An outgoing COM port means that the Field PC initiates
communication with the other device. For example, when you
are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver, the Field PC initiates the
request for data; thus, the virtual COM port connecting with
the receiver would be an outgoing COM port.
An incoming COM port means that the other device is initiating
the communication with the Field PC. For example, a desktop
computer might initiate a Bluetooth ActiveSync connection with
the device via the virtual COM port.
For more details about seing up outgoing and incoming COM
Ports, read the following section.
