Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous
Page 5
Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cad­mium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical
space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.
Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to­date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication.
Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the product(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be responsible for any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages, caused by reliance on the material presented, including but not limited to typographical errors.

Preparing The 7530 G2 For Operation

2.1 Preparing The 7530 G2 For Operation

Typically, 7530 G2 hand-helds are configured at the factory and arrive ready for use. Although these hand-helds are equipped with an internal Compact Flash and SD I/O slot, these slots are not intended for user modification. If a device needs to be changed or added in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. Refer to Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices for service information.

2.1.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started

You’ll need:
A compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking module (PDM) with power supply.
An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in batch mode).
A #2 Phillips head screwdriver (if you need to attach a carrying strap or pistol grip handle).

2.1.2 Charging The Battery

Important: The 7530 G2 uses a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery. It is criti-
cal that you review the battery safety guidelines in “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” on page XII before charging the battery.
Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles have been performed.
Batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the unit’s internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories beginning on page 213.
Note: The 7530 G2 Battery Properties dialog box may indicate an incorrect bat-
tery capacity until the new battery has been fully charged.
It may take several charge/discharge cycles for the battery capacity gauge to register capacity with the full 95% accuracy.

Installing The Battery

2.1.3 Installing The Battery

Slide the charged battery with the contoured plastic facing you into the unit. Click the battery into place.
Keep in mind that if you are using a docking station, you can insert an uncharged battery in the hand-held, dock the unit and switch it on. If you are using a PDM, you can configure your unit without a battery, with a charged battery or with an uncharged battery.
Important: Accidental removal and insertion of the battery during operation
may result in the 7530 G2 not booting up normally. Should this occur, remove the battery and allow the internal backup power supply to deplete – approximately 15 minutes. Unsaved data may be lost.

2.1.4 Switching On The Hand-Held

To switch the unit on:
Press and hold down the [ENTER/ON] key for at least one second.
When all four LEDs flash yellow, release the [ENTER/ON] button.
A splash screen of the Psion Teklogix logo and the Windows CE logo appears. When Windows CE has successfully loaded, the startup desktop is displayed.
Note: The screen may go blank for a few seconds after the splash screen loading
bar reaches the end. This is part of the normal Windows CE cold boot process. The desktop is displayed after a few moments.

Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included
as part of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to enhance WEP, TKIP uses the original WEP encryption but ‘wraps’ addi­tional code at the beginning and end to encapsulate and modify it, encrypt­ing each data packet with a unique encryption key.
Authentication
802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless
station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required. For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a pre­shared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensi­ble Authentication Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS is supported.
Network Key:
This text box is used to 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.

7530 G2s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient light is below the set threshold. A light sensor on the front of the hand-held determines the ambient light level. On some displays, the contrast can also be adjusted to further improve character visibility.

3.4.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight

The behaviour of the display backlight can be specified in the Display Properties dialog box in the Control Panel.
Note: Refer to “Display Backlight” on page 88 for details about the Display
Properties dialog box.

3.4.2 Adjusting The Contrast

Note: In addition to the manual adjustments described in this section, the dis-
play contrast can also be adjusted using the Control Panel. Refer to “Dis-
play Contrast” on page 87 for details about this dialog box.
The display contrast can be adjusted from the unit keyboard using the [BLUE] key and function keys [F1] and [F2]. Pressing [F1] darkens the display, and pressing [F2] lightens the display. Keep in mind that adjusting the contrast on a colour display is much less pronounced than on a monochrome display.
To adjust the display contrast:
Lock the [BLUE] key on, and then press [F1] to darken the display or [F2] to lighten the display.
Once you’ve successfully adjusted the display contrast, remember to press the [BLUE] key again to unlock or turn it ‘off’.
Note: Contrast settings are optimized for the maximum readability. However, if
the display jitters or flickers, consider adjusting the contrast at power up.

3.4.3 Calibrating The Touchscreen

If your 7530 G2 touchscreen has never been calibrated, or if you find that the stylus pointer is not accurate when you tap on an item, use the Stylus Properties dialog box in the Control Panel to recalibrate the screen.

3.6 Internal Scanners

Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer
to “Internal Scanner Specifications” beginning on page 240.
7530 G2s support a wide range of scanner options to address a variety of user applica­tion requirements. The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the
Scanner Settings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 143) and the Manage Triggers application (see page page 109). External, non-decoded scanners are also
configured through the Control Panel.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configura­tion bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration purposes.
For Symbol decoded scanners, refer to the LS3408 programming guide.
For PowerScan (PSC) decoded scanners, refer to the Powerscan Programing Guide (PSC).
Scanner types include:
Advanced Long Range: reads very large 1D bar codes (60 mil+) at very long distances (up to 14m).
Long Range: reads large 1D bar codes (55 mil) at long distances (up to 3m).
High Performance: reads1D linear bar codes (5 - 55 mil) at medium dis­tances (up to 1m).
Extended Range: reads regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at short to medium distances (1m), as well as large 1D bar codes (e.g. 55 mil) at long distances.

Scanning Techniques
RFID: The RD7950 UHF RFID Reader is an EPC-compliant RFID reader which can be integrated with laser bar code scanning or imaging (for future release).
Fuzzy Logic: reads damaged or low contrast regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at medium distances (up to 1m).
PDF Raster Laser: reads 2D PDF bar codes or regular 1D bar codes at short to medium distances.
2D Imager: reads regular 1D and all 2D bar codes at short to medium distances.
1D Imager: reads regular 1D and PDF417 bar codes at short to medium distances.
It is critical that you review the warnings listed under “Warning to Users” beginning on page XI (at the beginning of this manual) before using any of the scanners described in this chapter. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 50 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.

3.6.1 Scanning Techniques

Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and
external scanners.
Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
•Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent 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.
When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code. Movement blurs the image.
Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.

Scan LED Indicators

3.6.2 Scan LED Indicators

The scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves 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.

3.6.3 Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
Is the unit on?
Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held 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. Try scanning a different 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 hand-held.
Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.

3.6.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners

Turn the hand-held 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 (msec)” on page 146 for details.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 G2
Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
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 achieved or six seconds have elapsed.

3.6.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners

This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
Turn the hand-held 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 achieved or three seconds have elapsed.

3.6.6 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, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the hand-held will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar
codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the applica­tion program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the field of view of the scanner.
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 hand-held.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED
illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for pho-

Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
tographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to decode it. It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady between flashes to improve decode performance.
Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.
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. Hold the scan trigger or button until a successful or failed scan result is obtained.
Illumination LEDs flashes (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.

3.7 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 unit 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 unit:
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
Tether Shell
To remove the peripheral:
•Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector.
Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the cable by
the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug
shell.

3.8 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 9 hours. 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 7530 G2 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7530 G2 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.
Depending on the ambient light at your site, consider turning off the keypad backlight.
Psion Teklogix 7530 G2 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53
Page 82
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 G2
Storing Batteries
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 hand-held 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 dialog 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 charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.
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 – in this case, the battery should be removed.
Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully charged, discharged (operated in the hand held until the low battery warning appears), and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capac­ity of the battery.

3.8.1 Storing Batteries

Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
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.
Always charge batteries to 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.
54 Psion Teklogix 7530 G2 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Page 83
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 G2
Monitoring The Network Connection
To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.
A ‘never used’ Li-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.

3.9 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link.
Tap on the Radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics dialog box.
To access the radio signal icon using the keyboard:
Press [BLUE] [0] to display the Start Menu.
Highlight Shortcuts and then choose System Tray from the sub-menu.
Use the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar.
Press [ENTER] to display the Wireless Statistics dialog box.
Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on
a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.

3.10 Uploading Data In A Docking Station

The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow your hand-held to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available. When a 7530 G2 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the unit screen. The hand-held also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 G2 before preforming data uploads.

General Maintenance

3.11 General Maintenance

3.11.1 Caring For The Touchscreen

The touchscreen is covered with 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, ketchup
sodium hydroxide,
concentrated caustic solutions,
benzyl alcohol, and
concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN HU6110). 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.

3.11.2 Cleaning The 7530 G2

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 abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7530 G2 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.
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 Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard 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.
Note: The security level must be set to ‘Supervisor’ in order to access many of
the items discussed in this section.

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the
touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touch­screen” on page 41.
A touchscreen is standard for all 7530 G2s. Each unit is equipped with a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the unit. 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 7530 G2.
To choose an icon, 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 the touchscreen on your is disabled, you’ll need to use the keyboard to choose icons and navigate dialog boxes, display the desktop, and so on.
Note: Keep in mind that if your 7530 G2 has already been fully configured and
your application is automatically launched at startup, you will have little need for keyboard navigation.
