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 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.

FCC Information To Users
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
xii Psion Teklogix 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual

(P/N 3030A5645-01).
The Model RA2040 radio must use one of these antennas:
1. Radiall/Larsen Model EPA-016.
2. Psion Teklogix Case Integrated Antenna (P/N 1070545).
3. Mobile Mark Model IMAG5-2400.
The use of any other configuration requires its own FCC approval.
Some equipment in hospitals and aircraft are not shielded from radio frequency energy. Do not use the 8515 onboard aircraft, or in hospitals,
without first obtaining permission.
Do not use near pacemakers. The product may affect the operation of some
medically implanted devices such as pacemakers, causing them to malfunction. Avoid placing your product next to such devices. Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the device and the product to reduce the risk of
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn off the 8515 and contact your cardiologist for assistance.
Note: In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the US
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. The design of this product
complies with the FCC guidelines and those standards. To maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, ensure the antenna is at least 20
cm from your body when transmitting.

2.1 Preparing The 8515 For Operation
Typically the 8515 Vehicle-Mount Computer is configured at the factory and arrives ready
for use. Although the 8515 is equipped with an internal Compact Flash slot and a Micro-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 / Worldwide Offices” for the service number closest to you.
2.2 8515 Safety Instructions
• The cord should be installed in the vehicle so that it is not subjected to damage or stress.
• Use of a power cord that is not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in
fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used,
make sure:
- The plug pins on the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on
the adaptor.
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Preparing The 8515 For Operation
- The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition and that the
wire size is larger than 16 AWG.
• When the unit is connected to the battery or AC adaptor, the mains power cord shall
comply with National safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to
be used.
• Do not use the AC adaptor with a damaged cord or plug. Replace it immediately.
• Do not operate the AC adaptor if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; it should be inspected by qualified service personnel.
• Do not disassemble the AC adaptor; it should be repaired by qualified service personnel.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the battery or AC adaptor from the outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not expose the battery or AC adaptor to rain or snow.

2.3 Important Operating Instructions
Warning: IT IS CRITICAL that this information be reviewed and that any guidelines
applicable to your vehicle-mount be strictly followed.
Backup Battery
The vehicle-mount backup battery provides one hour of memory backup. The capacity is
reduced as the operating temperature cools. The table below provides a general outline of
battery capacity based on the operating temperature. Charging of the backup battery will
occur between 0° C and 40° C.
Note: If the backup battery temperature is less than 10° C and a brown-out occurs,
the display backlight will switch off in order to maintain vehicle-mount operations. The backlight will switch back on when external power is restored or
the battery temperature is above 10° C.

Warning: Do not install the 8515 in such a way that the power cable is bent 90
degrees as this may damage the power cable and power cable strain relief.
2.4 Switching The 8515 On And Off
• To switch on the 8515, press the [ENTER/ON] key.
Note: If the 8515 is in suspend state, pressing [ENTER/ON] ‘wakes’ the unit from
this state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered
suspend state is displayed.
To switch off the 8515:
• Press the [BLUE] key, and then press the [ENTER/ON] key.
Turning off the 8515 does not
result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a powersaving, “suspend” state. When the 8515 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes
within a few seconds.

Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar at the bottom of
the screen, this key is locked ‘on’—the 8515 will not switch off. Press the
[BLUE] key again to unlock it; then press [BLUE] [ENTER/ON] to switch
the 8515 off.
If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialog box
(see “One Shots” on page 74), the 8515 can be turned off even when the
[BLUE] key is locked ‘on’.
2.5 Calibrating The Touchscreen
Before using your 8515, you will need to calibrate the touchscreen. Refer to “Calibrating
The Touchscreen” on page 38 for details.
