Preparing the Omnii for Operation
2.4 Preparing the Omnii for Operation
2.4.1 The Battery
The Omnii is powered by a Lithium-ion Smart Battery pack, 5000 mAh — Model ST3001.
Important: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guide-
lines in the Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide
(PN 8000191).
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully charged prior
to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking stations. For detailed information,
see “Battery Details” on page 21.
Replacing the Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switching the Omnii
On and Off” on page 15). However, assuming the default power saving parameters
and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum
of 4 minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time
frame.
Figure 2.6 Omnii Battery
Note: If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an uncharged
battery and use the device while the battery charges.
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, a battery
can be removed for up to 4 minutes without losing data. After 4 minutes the hand-held may reboot.
Removing the Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
• Press the two latch buttons at the sides of the compartment simultaneously, and slide the battery out.
Installing the Battery Pack
• Slide the charged battery with the contoured plastic facing you into the unit with the contacts matching position and the guide tabs moving into the corresponding slots at the base of the compartment.
Firmly click both sides of the battery into place.
• If your computer is equipped with a hand strap, re-attach the clip to the slot at the base of the battery.
• Switch the unit on (see “Switching the Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual

2.5 Switching the Omnii On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Omnii.
Switching the Omnii On
• Press and hold the [Power] button down for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
Omnii is switched on from the suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in which
you were working prior to turning the computer off.
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion battery may be installed, or the
battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold
and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 100 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below the configured
Suspend Threshold, the unit will
Switching the Omnii Off
• To switch off the Omnii, press the [Power] button. The Omnii will automatically enter the Suspend
state.
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Switching the Omnii On and Off
switch on.
Important: Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown; rather, the unit
enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the Omnii is turned on from
suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
2.6 Resetting the Omnii
To perform a variety of Omnii resets, you can use the keyboard shortcuts described below.
2.6.1 Performing a Warm Reset
During a warm reset, running programs are halted. The contents of the file system, Flash Disk, and the registry are preserved. Keep in mind, however, that RAM content is not preserved.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key and the [Power] button simultaneously for a minimum of four
seconds.
Note: For radio specifications, switching from Windows Zero Config to WiFi Config (DeviceScape)
and visa versa requires a warm reset.
2.6.2 Performing a Cold Reset
A cold reset reinitializes all hardware. All RAM including the RAM disk is erased. Non-volatile storage such
as the Flash disk is preserved, as is the file system.
To execute a cold reset:
• Press and hold down the [SYM] key, the [FN] key, and the [Power] button, simultaneously for a
minimum of four seconds.
2.6.3 Performing a Clean Start
A clean start returns the Omnii to factory settings, flushes the registry keys and deletes volatile storage.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key, the [Power] button and the [SCAN] key simultaneously for a
minimum of six seconds.
The Omnii displays the Boot to BooSt menu.
•On an alpha keyboard, type .clean.
•On a numeric keyboard, type .25326.

Pin 5
Boot to BooSt
2.6.4 Boot to BooSt
If you choose Boot to BooSt, the BooSt menu is loaded.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key, [Power] button and [SCAN] key for a minimum of four seconds.
•Press [1] to launch the OS.
2.6.5 Performing a Hard Reset
Important: This procedure is recommended as a last resort, when all other methods fail.
To execute a hard reset:
• Remove the battery.
• Using a coin, or other conductive item, connect pins 5 and 6 of the Omnii battery contacts for at least
six seconds.
• Replace the battery and power the Omnii on. The computer will boot as if from a cold reset.
2.7 Attaching Carrying Accessories
Psion recommends that a carrying accessory — a hand strap — be installed on the Omnii before use. For detailed information, see “Carrying and Protective Accessories” on page 196.
2.8 Calibrating the Touchscreen
The Omnii touchscreen feature is factory-calibrated and ready-to-go; however, over time the touchscreen's
operating parameters may change, and it may need to be recalibrated for correct operation. Refer to “Calibrating the Touchscreen” on page 28 for details.
2.9 Imager and Scanner Options
If your Omnii is equipped with an internal imager or scanner, review the relevant sections: Appendix : “Imagers Applet” and Appendix : “Scanner Settings” for details.
Appendix : “Internal Imager & Scanner Specifications” lists their current model numbers, descriptions, and
specifications.
2.10 Connectivity
For information on connecting the Omnii to a PC, refer to “Data Transfer Between Omnii and a PC” on
page 49.
The Omnii contains an integrated 802.11a/b/g/n radio module. The Wi-Fi Config application is used to config-
ure the radio for one or more wireless network profiles. To configure the radio, follow the steps outlined
under the heading “Wi-Fi Config - Setting Up the 802.11a/b/g/n Radio” on page 121.
The Omnii is also available with one of the following Wireless WAN radio options: the Cinterion MC75i EDGE
or the Cinterion PH8-P HSPA+. Refer to “Wireless Radios” on page E-5 in Appendix E: “Omnii Specifications” for full specifications. With either of these radios and a SIM card, you can wirelessly transfer data
