2.2.2 Replacing the Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switching
Omnii On and Off” on page 15). If you do not turn the hand-held off before
removing the battery, it may be necessary to reboot the unit. Any active sessions may be lost.
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.
14 Psion Teklogix Omnii XT10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Page 31
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, a battery can be removed for up to 5 minutes without losing data. After 5 minutes the
terminal may reboot.
Removing the Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand or shoulder 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. Click both sides of the battery into place.
• If your computer is equipped with a hand or shoulder strap, re-attach the clip to the slot
at the base of the battery.
Switch the unit on (see “Switching Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
2.3 Switching Omnii On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Omnii.
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Switching Omnii On and Off
Switching Omnii On
• Press and hold down the [ENTER/Power] key for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend”
state. When 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 Teklogix battery may
be installed, or the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend
Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on
page 110 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to Omnii with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will

Resetting Omnii
Switching Omnii Off
• To switch off Omnii, press the [FN] key and then press and release the
[ENTER/Power] button. Omnii will automatically enter the Suspend state.
Important: Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown; rather,
the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When Omnii is turned on
from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
Important: If the word ‘FN’ is displayed underlined in the taskbar area at the bottom
of the screen, this key is locked “on” and Omnii will not switch off. Press
the [FN] key twice followed by [ENTER/Power] to switch Omnii off.
However, if you’ve set the mode to “Lock” (see “Keyboard One Shot
Modes” on page 95), Omnii can be turned off even when the [FN] key is

Important: The steps below describe how to manually create a network. Keep in mind
that this is intended only as an example
and may vary from your own
network requirements. If, for example, you are using a different type of security for your network, the fields you complete may not match those described
here.
• Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier) for your network.
2.8.2.1 Authentication Mode
Omnii supports several classes of authentication—Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 (Personal PSK,
Enterprise, CCKM-WPA, CCKM-WPA2), and 802.1x with EAP. Tapping on the Auth. Mode
menu displays your authentication options.
Psion Teklogix Omnii XT10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 21
Page 38
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Wi-Fi Config: Configure Tab
Note: Each Auth. Mode has a unique Configure Profile screen attached to it with fields
appropriate to the authorization mode you’ve chosen.
Open Authentication
Open authentication does not provide security. When this option is chosen, Omnii will
connect to wireless networks which do not use authentication or encryption.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If
you choose this option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication—Open or Shared,
the WEP security key length—64 bit or 128 bit and the key type—ASCII or Hex. WEP Key
fields are also provided where you can 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.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either WPA Personal PSK or WPA2 Personal PSK—a shared key
must be configured on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the following can be chosen from the Encryption drop-down menu: TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES.
802.1X, WPA & WPA2 Enterprise, CCKM-WPA & CCKM-WPA2
These authentication modes use 802.1X with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is selected,
Omnii uses WEP encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the others, the
user may choose TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES encryption.
22 Psion Teklogix Omnii XT10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Page 39
2.8.2.2 Encryption
The Encryption menu allows you to choose the type of encryption that will be used to
protect transmitted data. Choose an Encryption method valid for your network from the
drop-down menu. Only the Encryption options that are compatible with the type of Auth.
Mode you’ve chosen will be listed. In fact, in some cases, this menu will not be available
at all.
2.8.2.3 EAP
This menu allows you to choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for
802.1x authentication to an access point.
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Wi-Fi Config: Configure Tab
The following EAP types are supported by Wi-Fi Config:
• TLS: Provides strong security via the use of client certificates for user authentication.
Psion Teklogix Omnii XT10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 23
Page 40
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Wi-Fi Config: Configure Tab
• PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to
encrypt EAP traffic. MSCHAPv2 is used as the inner authentication method. This is
appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.
• PEAPv1-GTC: PEAP authentication using GTC as the inner method which utilizes
one time passwords (OTPs) for authentication against OTP data bases such as
SecureID.
• LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to
off-line dictionary attacks.
• FAST-MSCHAPv2: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to
protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the
use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
• Complete the fields in the Configure Profile screen. If you’re uncertain about some of
the options, your system administrator will be able to provide the correct information
for your wireless network.
• Once you’ve completed the necessary fields, tap on OK.
2.8.2.4 Verify Server Certificate
When the Verify Server Certificate box is checked, Omnii will verify the certificate provided
by the authentication server during the authentication process. This requires that an appropriate certificate be manually installed on Omnii for the verification.
2.8.2.5 Enable OPMK
When used with compatible wireless infrastructure, Opportunistic Key Caching (OPMK)
reduces the number of full authentications required when roaming. Only available with
WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) authentication mode.

3.1 Battery Details
Omnii Hand-Held Computers operate by lithium-ion battery packs, Model No. ST3000.
Please see the following sections for detailed battery information:
• Installation: “Preparing Omnii for Operation” on page 14.
• Calibration and power settings: “Power Properties” on page 108.
• Chargers and docking stations: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” on page 169.
• Specifications: “Lithium-ion Smart Battery 5000 mAh (ST3000)” on page 198.
• Contact pinout: page A-4 of Appendix A: Port Pinouts.
3.1.1 Battery Safety
Important: Before attempting to install, use, or charge the battery pack, it is critical
that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference guide entitled the Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory &
Warranty Guide, PN 8000191.
3.1.2 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of 5 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is
replaced within this time frame.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii
Battery Details
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to
the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Flash Disk”
partition of the file system.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 110 for details about
reserving battery power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the
battery capacity at which Omnii will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Op-
erating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only
backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, Omnii shuts off
with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
Psion Teklogix Omnii XT10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii
Charging the Battery
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting
options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion Teklogix battery may
be installed, or the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend
Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on
page 110 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to Omnii with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will
3.1.3 Charging the Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. Lithiumion battery packs must be fully charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. For detailed information on these accessories,
please see Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.
Normally it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The Omnii intelligent charging system
protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery
is at maximum capacity.
switch on.
3.2 The Keyboard
Omnii offers a wide variety of Alpha and Numeric keyboard layouts. See “Keyboard and
Keypad Kits” on page 171 for a list of available configurations. 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, those differences are described in the following sections.
Omnii is equipped with an [Enter/Power] key that allows you to switch the unit on and to
shut down the unit to Suspend or Standby mode. For details refer to “Switching Omnii On
and Off” on page 15.

Regular Keys
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys are located near the top of the keyboard, and are represented on the keyboard as triangles pointing in different directions. The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around
the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should
not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key which is depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is
the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type
will appear.
The [BACKSPACE/DEL] Key
The [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the
cursor one character to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
The [CTRL] and [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application
dependent. Pressing either key twice locks it 'on' (it appears underlined on the Taskbar).
Pressing the key once again unlocks it.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box,
or activity.
The [SPACE] Key
The [SPACE] key is represented on the keyboard by a long, low horizontal line contained by
a small vertical line on each side. Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters.
In a Windows dialog box, pressing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [SCAN] Key
Omnii is equipped with a single [SCAN] key on the keyboard and an extra [SCAN] button
located on the left side of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do
not have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.

3.2.2 Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN] and [SYM] keys are modifier keys that change the
function of the next key pressed.
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.
[SHIFT] and [FN]
The [SHIFT] and [FN] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. The functions related to these modifier keys are colour-coded in white and blue print
respectively above the keyboard keys, dependant on your keyboard format.
[SYM]
Note: When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (P/N 8100016), note that
the [SYM] key is interchangeable with the [ORANGE] key.
The Symbol [SYM] modifier key is represented on the keyboard by the characters ‘SYM’
and provides access to commonly used symbolic characters. Pressing the key brings up the
Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen keyboard, with symbols mapped to each key. If you
wish to adjust the settings for the pop-up screen (e.g. time of delay before screen appears,
etc.), modify the file softinputpanel.xml, located in the Windows folder.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii
Modifier Keys
Note: Modifier keys are remapped in the Control Panel, and the Symbol SIP will automat-
ically show and use the new mappings after the next reboot.
The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your Omnii—either
numeric or alphanumeric.

3.2.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed, it is shown in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen,
making it easier to determine whether a modifier key is active. For example, if the [CTRL]
key is pressed, Ctrl is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is
pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
3.2.2.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed
in underlined letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [FN] key twice locks it on—it
is displayed as an underlined blue ‘FN
The same is true of the [SYM] key, which is shown as an underlined orange ‘SYM
taskbar.
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, the underline representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.
Note: The locking function of the modifier keys can be changed so that pressing a key
once will lock the key ‘on’.
If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of the key, pressing it once will lock the key
‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 95 for details.

page 180. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your
Omnii before performing data uploads.
3.7 General Maintenance
3.7.1 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
• concentrated acids
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (ST6112). 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.
3.7.2 Cleaning Omnii
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only your finger or the stylus
(pen) supplied with your Omnii.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.

Page 67
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii
Cleaning Omnii
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. Omnii 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 Embedded CE and Applications
Chapter 4: Windows Embedded CE 6.0
4.1 Navigating in Windows Embedded CE and Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Embedded 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 Embedded 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. In those applications that support
it, you can also flick and pan your finger to scroll through screens.
4.1.1 Navigating Using a Touchscreen
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen
may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating the Touchscreen” on page 44.
Omnii comes equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen. The stylus is
used to select objects on the touchscreen. You can also use gestures with your fingers. You
can use two gestures: pan and flick. Use left or right flicks to quickly move between tabs of
a multi-tab control panel, or to scroll long lists of options. Use panning by touching and
dragging a page that has scrollbars.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only a finger touch or the stylus (pen)
supplied with your Omnii.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using the Keyboard
If you would like to use keyed input to choose icons and navigating dialog boxes, displaying
the desktop you can refer to Table 4.1 for a description of the navigation keys.
