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.

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.

data directly to other 7530 G2s without an access point – add a checkmark
in the checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network to enable Ad Hoc.
Encryption
WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can
choose Disabled from the dropdown encryption menu. Otherwise, leave
this field as is.

Page 49
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Configuring An IEEE 802.11 Radio In The Unit
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.

802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area
networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet
network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS
or MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is used in conjunction with the 802.1X
standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed
in the dropdown menu next to the EAP option.
•To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check
the checkbox.
EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):
This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The
items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup.
Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require that you select
a Certificate. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to select a
Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 113 provides a website that
outlines how to create certificates for your network.

for additional information about the battery.
Important:To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0° C (32° F) and
39° C (102° F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status
LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to
Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 44 for details.
3.3 The Keyboard
The 7530 G2 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 63-key and a 37-key
keyboard. 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 [BLUE] and [ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above
the keyboard keys.

Modifier Keys
3.3.1 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 63-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key.
Pressing the [ORANGE] key followed by the [4] key displays a square bracket
rather than the number 4.
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.
3.3.1.1Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is not locked ‘on’, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the
taskbar at the bottom of the hand-held screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is
pressed,
When the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and is cleared from
the taskbar.

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.

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.
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 Manual53
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.
54Psion 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
