Figure 2.18 Network Authentication, EAP and 802.1X
28
Network Authentication (Shared Mode)
If ‘Network Authentication’ is enabled (√), the access point sends a known unen-
crypted challenge packet to the 7535 radio which encrypts the packet and
sends it back to the access point. The access point attempts to decrypt the
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
encrypted packet and forwards an authentication response packet back to
the 7535 radio, indicating the success or failure of the decryption. If the
packet is successfully encrypted/decrypted, the user is authenticated.
If this option is disabled (the default setting), network authentication is
not used.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) and Enable 802.1x
“802.1x” is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area
networks. It provides authentication for user de vices attached to an Ethernet
network, whether wired or wireless. A packet encapsulated in an “EAP” is
used in conjunction with the “802.1x” standard to authenticate users at the
MAC layer.

3.4.1 Modifier Keys
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier
keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For
example, on a 58-key k eyboard, a square bracket is printed in or ang e print abo ve the
<4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key follo wed by the <4> k ey displays a square
bracket rather than the number 4.
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop k e yboard
except that they are not chorded (two k eys held do wn simultaneously). The modifier
key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Activating Modifier Keys
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys

taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> ke y is
pressed,
pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is
3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is
displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar . For example, pressing the <BLUE> ke y
twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the
computer screen.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock
or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase
representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.
3.4.2 The Keys
The <SHIFT> Key
The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters. A ‘locked’
<SHIFT> key (pressed twice) operates like the <CAPS LOCK> key on a desktop
keyboard.
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.
The <BKSP/DEL> Key
The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructi v e backspace) moves the
cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.
The <CTRL> And <ALT> Key
The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next k ey pressed and are
application dependent.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
The 58-Key Keyboard
The <TAB> Key
Typically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the ne xt field to the right or
downward.
The <ESC> Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu,
dialogue box or activity and return to the pre vious one.
The <SPACE> Key
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue
box, pressing the <SPACE> k ey enables (√) or disables a checkbox.
The <SCAN> Key
Pressing the <SCAN> key – the yello w k e y with the star-burst scan symbol on it –
activ ates the scanner beam while pressed. F or units that do not have internal
scanners, this key is either inoperable or can be remapped to another ke y function
(such as an <ENTER> key).
3.4.3 The 58-Key Keyboard
In addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the ke yboard (no key
combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter , the 58-ke y keyboard
also provides function keys and macro k e ys. These keys are not used as part of the
Windows CE operating system. They can be custom defined for each application.
The Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional K e yboard
Functions” on page 113 for details about Tekterm keys.
3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard
On 36-key 7535s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orang e
typeface above the numeric k e ys. To access an alpha character, you must first press
the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric ke y abo ve which the alpha
character you want to type is printed.
Because the alpha keys on a 36-ke y k e yboard are laid out much lik e the letters on a
telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a
few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help
illustrate how to access alpha characters.

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can
reflect back into the scanner’ s e xit windo w and pre v ent a successful decode.
• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or 2D scanner, make certain
that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including
the margins on either end of the symbol.
If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped
framing mark is centered within the bar code you want to scan.
• Hold the scanner farther away for lar ger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together .

Scan LED Indicators
3.7.3 Scan LED Indicators
The 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is
successful. The LED behav es as follows:
• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour .
• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when
the scan is ended.
• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is
active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar
code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is
released.
3.7.4 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, in v estig ate the following:
• Is the 7535 on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535
you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. T ry scanning a dif ferent
bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a
hardware problem in the 7535.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for
dirt or fogging.

• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will
be enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after
which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time” on page 136
for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and
initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard
on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger . A scan beam and a
warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achiev ed or six
seconds have elapsed.
3.7.6 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger . The beam expands
into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam
and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achiev ed or
three seconds have elapsed.
3.7.7 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners
An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at
one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, e ven a bar code
printed at a 45 degree angle to the 7535 will be decoded successfully.
Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners,
some practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar
codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient
light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from
the 7535.
• Turn the 7535 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the
framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either
in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in
which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.
Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.
3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
Tethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held
computer with a quick release, circular connector . When a peripheral is connected to
the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it.
An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of
the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.
To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7535:
• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until
it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should
be aligned.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
To remove the peripheral:
•Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the
connector .
Figure 3.10 Disconnecting The Tether Cable
Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector
by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be
unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug
shell.
3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Under normal operating conditions, the battery lasts for a full 8-hour shift. As
Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually , and the y are generally
considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original
capacity remaining). Keep in mind ho wever that heavy usage or operating the 7535
at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery
system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak
performance.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 55
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. T ry to k eep 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.
• The 7535 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar
battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the
battery . It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter
percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged
battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than
nominal.
Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides
detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the
remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recalibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged
and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and
char g ed on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a lo w-po wer , 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 – in this case, the battery should be removed.
• Batteries left for durations of more than one or two months should be fully
charged, discharged and then char ged again before use. This recalibrates
the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual
capacity of the battery.
• The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired
and will notify the user . Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded
their lifespan.

3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an
Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a serv er
computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7535 is properly inserted in a
docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535
screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Re view the
documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 before
preforming data uploads.

General Maintenance
3.12 General Maintenance
3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a
conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by
harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects
on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive
coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• mustard,
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated miner acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable
screen protector (PN 1010029). These covers reduce the clarity of the display
slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they
become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Note: If the environment is excessively harsh, consider using a tempered glass
version of the 7535.
3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
•Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasiv e cleaners, solv ents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is
partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
58
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl
alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like W indo ws CE for portable devices and desktop W indows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equiv alent ke yboard shortcut
is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interf ace and k eyboard
shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is
accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed
using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (pro vided your
7535 is equipped with a touchscreen).
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the
touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 44.
A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7535 equipped with a touchscreen has a
stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7535.
The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen)
supplied with your 7535.
To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your 7535 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen), choosing icons and
navigating dialogue boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on requires k e yboard
input. If your unit has already been fully configured and your application is
launched at startup, you’ll have little need for k eyboard navigation.
