Preparing The Ikôn Rugged PDA For Operation
2.2 Preparing The Ikôn Rugged PDA For Operation
2.2.1 The Battery
The Ikôn is powered with a Lithium Ion battery pack, 5000 mAh—Model No. CH3000.
Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety
guidelines in the Ikôn Rugged PDA Regulatory & Warranty Guide Regulatory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000148.
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking stations along with an Ikôn internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power
source is required. The battery, and all chargers and docking stations are described in
Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 219.
2.3 Turning The Ikôn On And Off
2.3.1 Installing The Battery
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Important: Press the Power button to turn off the PDA before opening the battery
cover on your Ikôn (see “Switching The Ikôn Off” on page 12).
• To unlock the battery cover, turn the left-hand battery fastener to the left, and turn the
right-hand battery fastener to the right.
• Remove the battery cover.
• Snap the charged battery into the unit. Replace the battery cover, and lock the fasteners
in place.
Note: If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an
uncharged battery and switch it on.
2.3.2 Switching The Ikôn On
• Press and hold down the Power button, located on the front of the unit at the top right,
for at least one second.
• When the yellow LED flashes, release the Power button.
The desktop screen is displayed.
Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual 11
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Switching The Ikôn Off
Note: If the unit was already in use—the unit may be off (suspend state)—pressing
[ENTER] ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working
prior to the suspend state is displayed. “GPS” on page 104 describes how you can
assign other ‘wakeup’ keys or enable a two-key ‘power on’ sequence.
Important: If your Ikôn fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting
options:
The battery capacity may be too low (capacity < 100mAh), it 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 102
for details.
If you provide AC power to an Ikôn, and either the battery capacity is too
low or the battery is overheated, a yellow LED will flash and the unit will
not
switch on. To switch on the PDA, you will need to replace the overheated battery or, in the case of a depleted battery, wait for the capacity to
reach an acceptable level.
However, if you supply AC power to an Ikôn with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the PDA will
switch on.
2.3.3 Switching The Ikôn Off
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the Ikôn does not result in a complete reboot;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the unit is
turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
• To switch off the Ikôn, press and hold the Power button for five seconds. The Shutdown
dialog box (Figure 2.4 on page 13) will appear for you to choose whether you want to
Shutdown or Suspend.
12 Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual
Figure 2.4 Shutdown Dialog Box
The Suspend option will simply suspend the device. Radios such as the GPRS or UMTS can
still operate while the device is suspended. In this case the blue LED radio indicator will
continue blinking.
The Shutdown option will turn off all radios before suspending the device. When this happens, the blue LED radio indicator will stop blinking since all radios are turned off.
2.4 Calibrating The Touchscreen
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Calibrating The Touchscreen
Note: Keep in mind that the touchscreen function can be turned off (see “Touch” on
page 106).
The Ikôn touchscreen is factory-calibrated and ready-to-go; however, over time the touchscreen operating parameters may change, and it may need to be recalibrated for correct
operation. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 38 for details.
2.5 Configuring The Summit 802.11b/g
Psion Teklogix supports an 802.11b/g Compact Flash (CF) wireless LAN radio card. It is a
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio.
If your unit is equipped with an 802.11b/g CF radio, follow the steps below to set up this
type of radio for communication with a wireless LAN. For detailed information, see “SCU
For 802.11b/g Radio” on page C-1.

Adapter Settings menu provides two options:
• Tap on Obtain an IP address via DHCP to have an address assigned
automatically, or
• If you want to use a particular IP address, tap on Specify an IP address, and type the
preferred address as well as the IP, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway addresses in
the appropriate fields. Tap OK to save your information.
