2.4.2.1 Authentication Modes
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Wi-Fi Configuration Tab
NEO supports four classes of authentication – Open, WEP, WPA PSK and 802.1x with EAP.
Tapping on the Auth. Mode menu displays your authentication options.
Note: Each Auth. Mode has a unique Configure Profile screen attached to it with fields
appropriate to the authorization mode you’ve chosen.
Open Authentication
Open authentication does not provide security. When this option is chosen, NEO will
connect to wireless networks which do not use authentication or encryption.
NEO Hand-Held with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual 15
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Wi-Fi Configuration Tab
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If
you choose this option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication – Open or Shared,
the WEP security key length – 64 bit or 128 bit and the key type – ASCII or Hex. WEP Key
fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the
access point.
802.1X, WPA & WPA2 Enterprise And CCKM
These authentication modes use 802.1X and with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is se-
lected, NEO uses WEP encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the
others, the user may choose TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES encryption.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either WPA Personal PSK or WPA2 Personal PSK – a shared key
must be configured on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the following can be chosen from the Encryption dropdown menu: TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES.
2.4.2.2 EAP
This menu allows you to choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for
802.1x authentication to an access point.
The following EAP types are supported by Wi-Fi Config:
• FAST-MSCHAPv2: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to
protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the
use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
16 NEO Hand-Held with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Wi-Fi Configuration Tab
• LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to
off-line dictionary attacks.
• PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to
encrypt EAP traffic. MSCHAPv2 is used as the inner authentication method. This is
appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.
• PEAPv1-GTC: PEAP authentication using GTC as the inner method which utilizes
one time passwords (OTPs) for authentication against OTP data bases such as
SecureID.
• TLS: Provides strong security via the use of client certificates for user authentication.
Server Certificate Verification
When the Verify Server Certificate box is checked, NEO will verify the certificate provided
by the authentication server during the authentication process. This requires that an appropriate certificate be manually installed on NEO for the verification.
2.4.2.3 Encryption
The Encryption menu allows you to choose the type of encryption that will be used to
protect transmitted data. Choose an Encryption method valid for your network from the
dropdown menu. Only the Encryption options that are compatible with the type of Auth.
Mode you’ve chosen will be listed. In fact, in some cases, this menu will not be available
at all.
• Complete the fields in the Configure Profile screen. If you’re uncertain about some of
the options, your system administrator will be able to provide the correct information
for your wireless network.

3.2 The Batteries
The hand-held operates with a lithium-ion battery pack – Model No. WA3006. Preparing the
unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in NEO.
3.2.1 Battery Safety
28 NEO Hand-Held with Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic User Manual
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that
you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference
guide entitled ‘NEO Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide’,
PN 8000175.
3.2.2 Removing the Battery Pack
Important: To protect against data loss, NEO is equipped with a sensor; this sensor
detects when the battery door is opened and automatically places the handheld computer into suspend mode so that you can safely remove the battery.
Refer to “Installing the Battery and Switching the Unit On” on page 11.
3.2.3 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced
within this time frame.
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the
hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit
will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period
of time. If you choose Maximum Back Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left in
the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
Chapter 3: Get To Know NEO
Removing the Battery Pack
(Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 150 for details about reserving battery power for
data backup purposes.)
3.2.4 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
3.2.4.1 Charging Options
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about charging options, refer to
Chapter 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.
Lithium-ion batteries must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of adaptors and docking stations. These include:
• AC Wall Adaptor (Model No. PX3012) – operates as an AC power source and when
used in conjunction with PX3001 or PX3054, also charges the battery installed in
the unit.
• Cigarette Lighter Adaptor (Model No. PX3056) – when used with a USB/DC Power
Adaptor (Model No. PX3054).
NEO Hand-Held with Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic User Manual 29
Chapter 3: Get To Know NEO
Switching the Hand-Held On and Off
• Desktop Docking Station (Model No. PX3001) – operates as both a charger and a
docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a
spare battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Desktop Docking Station with Integrated V.92 Analog Modem (Model No. PX3008) –
integrates docking and analog modem functionality. Operating as a charger, both the
battery installed in the hand-held and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.
Operating as a modem, this dock provides USB connectivity and data connections over
a PSTN line.
• Quad Docking Station (Model No. PX3004) – can charge the battery of up to four
NEOs inserted in the docking station.
The charge time required to make NEO ready for use varies depending on the type of
docking station used. A hand-held inserted in docking station requires 3 hours to charge the
battery to 75% capacity. NEO is equipped with an intelligent charging system that protects
the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
Note: The specified battery charge times are based on NEO in suspend mode. Additional
peripherals and other power consumption features will alter the specified charge
time.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time” on page 40 for addi-
tional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, the charge process will not begin until the
battery temperature is between 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).

equipped with 802.11b/g radios and batch (unconnected) hand-helds not equipped with
802.11b/g radios.
Chapter 3: Get To Know NEO
The Keyboards
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or
key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print on the
keyboard keys.
3.4.1 Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.
Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys & the Shift-State Indicator
When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the
softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft
keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon.
• Tap on Start>Settings followed by the Buttons icon.

key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated
symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.
If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than
the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off. Refer
to “One Shots” on page 113 if you need to adjust the behaviour of this key.
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down,
left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the
next character you type will appear.
Chapter 3: Get To Know NEO
The Keys
The [<—/DEL] Key
This key allows access to both the backspace and the delete function. The backspace function represented by an arrow [<—] (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves
the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The delete function ([FN/BLUE] [<—/DEL]) erases the character at the cursor position.
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application-dependent.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or
activity and return to the previous one.

Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time
• Lock the [FN/BLUE] key ‘on’ and then, press [UP ARROW], the increase volume key
or [DOWN ARROW], the decrease volume key until the volume meets your
requirements.
• When you’re done, you will need to unlock (turn ‘off’) the [FN/BLUE] key. Press
[FN/BLUE] again to unlock the key.
3.7 Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time
Note: When the main battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘low battery’ warning is displayed.
When the battery is at approximately 10% capacity, a ‘very low main battery’ notification bubble appears.
As lithium-ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity
remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium-ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and NEO battery system (including
chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low
as possible.
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven—that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep
mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key
press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid
unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• Tapping on the Power icon under Start>Settings>System tab displays a dialog box that
provides detailed information about the battery status of the main battery installed in
your unit.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless
the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week—for long-term storage, the battery
should be removed from the unit. Leaving the battery in a charger for extended periods
may shorten the overall life of the battery.
3.7.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
40 NEO Hand-Held with Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic User Manual
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
• Lithium-ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0 °C and 20 °C (32 °F and 68 °F).
• Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be
damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored
for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6
months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ lithium-ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or
no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.
3.8 Uploading Data in a Docking Station
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
NEO before performing data uploads.
Chapter 3: Get To Know NEO
Uploading Data in a Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
Note: Charging options are described beginning on page 215 for more details.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection can be used via the USB to Ethernet
cable (Model No. PX3052).
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connections to a PC or server through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection.
When NEO is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the Ethernet network.
3.9 Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth Class 2 radios are standard on ‘connected’ NEOs – that is,
units equipped with 802.11 radios. On ‘batch’ (unconnected) units, Bluetooth is an
optional feature.
The Bluetooth radio enables short range data communication between devices. In addition,
it provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, ex-

Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the exterior of the unit clean.
•Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals. The plastic case is susceptible to
harsh chemicals; it is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic
slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keyboard and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.
• When using a dampened cloth to clean NEO, make certain that the battery cover is in
place to protect the battery compartment from moisture.

4.1 Navigating in Windows Mobile 6.1 and Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic for portable devices or desktop
Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On NEO, this is accomplished
using a touchscreen and stylus rather than a mouse.
4.1.1 Navigating Using a Touchscreen and Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need recali-
bration. Refer to “Aligning (Calibrating) the Touchscreen” on page 37.
NEO is equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen. The stylus is used to
select objects on the touchscreen.
• Use the stylus to tap on the appropriate icon to open files and folders, launch applications and programs, make selections, and so on.
