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

Follow the instructions below:

Turn over the receiver.

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.

Put the trap door back into place by first inserting the two lugs located at the bottom of the trap door.

Turning the

Receiver On

Then push the door against the receiver case and rotate the two screws back in their initial positions to seal the battery compartment.

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 initialize the receiver (screen alignment, etc.). Just follow the instructions on the screen to complete this step.

The operating system used in the receiver is Microsoft Windows Embedded Hand Held. For more information

on how to use the different applications, you can visit the Microsoft web site at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows- embedded-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.

The Power window shows the status of the battery (see also

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.

Using the AC

Follow the instructions below.

 

Adapter to Charge

• Prepare the AC adapter:

 

the Battery

– Remove the protective cover [1] by pushing the button

 

then sliding the cover forward.

 

[1]

[2]

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).

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.).

Using the Quick

Toolbar

Switching the

Receiver Manually

to Suspend Mode

Adjusting

Backlight Level

and Idle Time

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).

Windows offers a quick toolbar allowing you to quickly 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 should 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.

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.

Power

Management

Setting Time & Date

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.

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.
