• Authentication: 802.1 1 supports four subtypes of networ k aut hent ica ti on ser vices:
Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless st ati on
can request authenticati on. The s tat ion tha t nee ds t o authenticate with another wireless station sends an au the nti cat ion management frame that contains the i dent it y of
the sending station. The rece ivi ng station then sends back a fra me that in dicates
whether it recognizes the i dent it y of t he s endi ng st ati on.
Under Shared a uthe n ti cat ion , each wire less station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure chan nel that is independent from the 802.11 wi rel ess
network communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is requir ed.
For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports t he u se of a pr esha red key. For wireless networks
with a RADIUS infrastructure , Exte nsi ble Authentication Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS is supported.

5.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power sa ving parameters and battery res erve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of 10 minutes—you wil l not lose data if the battery i s
replaced within this time f rame.
The Suspend Thr eshol d adjustment in the Power Properties tab allo ws you to de termine t he
battery capacity at which t he ha nd-held will be shut down. If left at the d efa ult val ue,
Maximum Operating T i me, the unit will run unti l the bat tery i s completel y empty; the RAM
is only backed up for a short period of t ime. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-
held shuts off with more energy left in the bat ter y so RAM can b e bac ked up f or a longer
period of time.

Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
Lithium Ion battery packs must be char ged before use. Thes e batteries can be char ged with a
variety of charger s and d ocki ng stations. These include:
• AC wall adaptor (Model # PS1050-G1)—operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
• Desktop Docking Stati on (Model # PX3001)—operate s as both a cha rger and a docking
station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installe d in t he ha nd-he ld and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station— (Model # PX3001) can c harge the battery of up to four Warringtons inserted in the d ocki ng st ati on.
It can take up to 5 hours to char ge a batter y. The W arr ington intell igent char g ing system pr otects the battery from over -char ging by terminating t he char ge process when the bat tery is at
maximu m capacity.

Security Level
Security levels can be set to l imit user acc ess . In ad dit ion, a ppli cat ions can be restricted to
prevent inadvertent c hanges .
5.7 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 appears.
As Lithium Ion batteries age, t hei r ca paci ty de creases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less th an 60% of ori ginal capacity
remaining). Keep in mind however t hat heavy usage or operati ng t he unit at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries do not r equi re conditioning cycles and th e Warrington battery system
(including charger s) r equi res no user interaction to mainta in pe ak pe rformance.
To maximize the run time of you r bat te ri es, co nsid er t h e f oll owing:
• The display backlight is the lar gest drain on the batter y . T ry to keep its bri ghtness as low
as possible.
• The hand-held is ‘event’ dri ven— tha t is , when t he uni t i s not in use, it reverts to sleep
mode (even when it appears to be ru nning), saving battery power. Events include a key
press, touchscreen taps and s can t ri gger s. Power consu mption is reduced if you avoid
unnecessary events, and allow t he unit to sleep as much as possible.
• The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in int el ligence.
Tapping on the Power icon in the Cont rol Panel displays a dialog box that provides
detailed information about the batt er y sta tus of the main battery installed in your u nit .
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend st ate but c onti nues to draw a small amount of power from the bat tery . Th is should not be an issue unles s
the unit is left in suspend s tate f or more th an a week—for long- te rm storage , the bat tery
should be removed from the unit.
5.7.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first- in f ir st- out ’ approach to minimize storage time.
70 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual
• Lithium Ion batteries age much f ast er a t el eva ted t emper atures. Store batteries at t em-
Preliminary Draft
peratures between 0 °C and 20 ° C (32 ° F and 68 °F).
• Always charge batte ri es t o at lea st 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteri es c an be
damaged by an over-dischar ge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored
for a long period of time such t hat the cel l vol tage drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batter ies to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6
months to prevent over- dis charge damage.
• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 year s may ha ve li mit ed or no
useful life remaining once put into service. Think of bat te ri es as perishable goods.
5.8 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user applic ati on installed in
your Warrington before performing data uploads.
The desktop docking station and q uad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not availa ble .
Note: Refer to “Des kt op Docki ng Station” on page 186 for more details.
Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington
Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connec ted PC o r
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ether net module i s al so a vai lable.
Unlike the desktop docking stat io n, the quad docking station supports only TCP/I P conne ctions to a PC or server through a 10/ 100baseT Ethernet connection.
When a Warrington is properly inserted in a docking stati on, a dock icon is displayed in the
navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects t he pr ese n ce of the

5.11.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thi n, fl exi ble polyester plastic sheet wit h a c onduct ive
coating on the inside. The po lyes ter ca n be permane ntly da maged by harsh ch emicals a nd is
susceptible to abrasi ons and scratches . Using sharp obj ects on the touchsc reen can scratch or
cut the plastic, or crack t he i nternal conductive coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in ha rsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen pro-
tector (WA6110???). These c over s reduce the clarity of the displ ay sl ig htl y but will
dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen . When they become scratched and
abraded, they are easily remove d and replaced.
