First-Time Use
Unpacking Open the receiver box and unpack the following items:
• Receiver
• Battery
• Universal AC adapter
•USB cable
• Hand strap
•Lanyard
•Stylus
Inserting the
Battery Into the
Receiver
Follow the instructions below:
• Turn over the receiver.
• Using the top end of the stylus (or a coin), rotate the two
screws to open the trap door: turn the left-hand one
clockwise by a quarter turn, and the right-hand one
anticlockwise, also by a quarter turn.
• Pull the trap door open.
• Insert the battery as shown. Orientate the battery so that
its electric contacts can come into contact with those at
the bottom of the battery compartment. Insert the upper
part of the battery first, as shown, then push the battery
in.
English
• Put the trap door back into place by first inserting the two
lugs located at the bottom of the trap door.

English
[1]
• Then push the door against the receiver case and rotate
the two screws back in their initial positions to seal the
battery compartment.
Turning the
Receiver On
• Press the Power key [1] for a couple of seconds until you
feel a vibration in your hand, then release the key.
[1]
Let the receiver run its boot sequence. Wait until the
screen displays the Windows Embedded Hand Held
Home screen. At this stage, you may be asked to
nitialize the receiver (screen alignment, etc.). Just follow
i
the instructions on the screen to complete this step.
The operating system used in the receiver is Microsoft
Windows
on how to use the different applications, you can visit
the Microsoft web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windowsembedded-handheld-6-5.aspx
Depending on how long your product was stored in its
package before being shipped to you, the remaining power in
the battery may be too low to allow the receiver to operate for
your entire working session. For this reason, the first thing to
do is to check the battery charge status:
• Tap on the title bar at the top of the screen. The Quick
Toolbar appears just underneath.
• Tap on the Battery icon. This opens the Power window and
simultaneously closes the Quick Toolbar.
he Power window shows the status of the battery (see also
T
Internal Battery on page 13). If the remaining power is
greater than 50%, then you can use the receiver without
having to charge the battery first (with 50% of remaining
charge, you can use the receiver for several hours). Skip
the next section and go directly to Adjusting Backlight
Level and Idle Time on page 4.
• If it less, Spectra Precision recommends you first charge
the battery as explained in Using the AC Adapter to Charge
the Battery on page 3.

Adapter to Charge
the Battery
Follow the instructions below.
• Prepare the AC adapter:
– Remove the protective cover [1] by pushing the button
then sliding the cover forward.
[1] [2] [3]
– Choose the plug that fits your country’s AC outlet
standard (see [2]) and slide it into the AC adapter [3].
(A “click” must be heard when fully inserted.)
• Take the USB cable provided [4]. Connect the end fitted
with a standard USB connector to the AC adapter.
Connect the other end (fitted with a mini-USB connector)
to the bottom side of the receiver (open the flap [5] first).
English
• Connect the AC adapter to an electric outlet. After about
4 seconds, the receiver screen lights up. An icon shows up
indicating that the battery is being charged. The screen is
then turned back off after about 10 seconds. After this
time, battery charging will continue at the same rate until
the battery is fully charged (charging time: 4 hours max.).

English
• To read the battery charging status using the Quick
Toolbar, refer to the instructions in Turning the Receiver
On on page 2 (see also Using the Quick Toolbar on
page 4).
Using the Quick
Toolbar
Switching the
Receiver Manually
to Suspend Mode
Windows offers a
access frequently used functions (zoom, Bluetooth, WiFi,
phone, sound volume, battery power and clock).
• Tap on the title bar at the top of the screen. The quick
toolbar appears just underneath.
• Run the desired function by just tapping on the
corresponding icon. This runs the requested function and
simultaneously closes the quick toolbar.
The zoom function enlarges the screen content, which
means only part of the screen is shown at a time, and so
you should drag the stylus over the screen to scroll through
the whole display.
To return to 1:1 zoom, tap on the title bar again to re-open
the quick toolbar, then tap on the zoom function again.
Switching the receiver to Suspend mode is the right thing to
do when you need to make a short pause in your work and you
want to save the operating time of your battery. You sho uld
not however switch the receiver to Suspend mode when it is
collecting raw data.
In Suspend mode, the receiver is idle, using the minimum of
energy required to save the use context.
To switch to Suspend mode, just press briefly on the Power
button [1]. The receiver screen is turned off instantly.
To wake up the receiver, just press briefly the same button
again. This will instantly switch the screen back on and
restore the use context in which the receiver was before
entering the Suspend mode.

Adjusting
Backlight Level
and Idle Time
4
Backlight Level: The screen backlight may be adjusted to
match the ambient light for optimized visibility. You don’t
need the same level of screen backlight in dark areas than in
hot sun.
Backlight Idle Time: One way of saving the battery is to avoid
those periods of time during which the screen backlight is
unnecessarily on. As the receiver automatically counts the
time during which neither the keypad nor the touch screen is
active, you can set the receiver to turn off the backlight
automatically after a certain idle time.
Follow the instructions below to set these two parameters:
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,
System and Backlight.
• Tap on the Battery Power tab.
• Drag the cursor to the right or left to set the screen
backlight to the desired level (between Dark and Bright).
The resulting brightness is obtained when you release the
cursor.
•Tick the Turn off backlight if device... check box and then
choose the idle time before the backlight is turned off
(10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 to 5 minutes)
Note that the backlight level and idle time can be set to
different values for when the receiver is operated from an
external power source instead of its internal battery. You
can make these settings after tapping on the External
Power tab.
•Tap OK to save all your changes and return to the previous
screen.
English
Power
Management
Setting Time & Date
Another way of saving the battery is to allow the receiver to
switch automatically to Suspend mode after a certain period
of inactivity.
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,
System and Power.
• Tap on the Advanced tab. This tab allows you to ask for the
receiver to switch automatically to Suspend mode if it
stays idle for the period of time you choose. You may
choose a different setting depending on whether the
receiver is powered from the internal battery or from an
external power source.
•Tap OK to save the settings and return to the previous
screen.
Remember that the receiver should NOT be allowed to switch
automatically to Suspend mode if it is expected to collect
data for a long period of time and you know the keyboard will
be left idle during this time.
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on
Settings,and Clock & Alarms.
•On the Time tab, select your time zone and then enter the
local date and time.
•Tap OK to save your settings.
