Getting Started

Before using the PPT 8800, perform the basic setup procedures:

• Install and charge the main battery and backup battery

• Start the terminal

• Initiate the network connection.

Installing the Battery

Note: Also use the following procedures for installing the op-

tional large capacity lithium-ion battery and battery
cover.

1. Turn the locking screw counterclockwise until the battery
cover releases from the terminal.

2. Lift the battery cover away from the terminal.

3. Insert the battery in the battery compartment with the battery
tether positioned as shown, ensuring that the battery snaps
into place.

Tether

PPT 8800

4. Replace the battery cover by inserting the top first, then
pressing the bottom in firmly.

5. Turn the locking screw clockwise to secure the cover to the
terminal.

Charging the Battery

Note: To charge the battery for your mobile device, battery

and charger temperatures must be between +32° F
and +104° F (0° C to +40° C).

Before using your terminal for the first time, charge the main
battery in the terminal for approximately 2 1/2 hours, using a
cradle or the serial charging cable.

Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which
automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery . This
backup battery retains data in memory when the terminal’s battery
is removed, and takes about 24 hours to charge when you first use
your terminal.

Note: If the main battery is removed before the backup bat-

tery is fully charged, data may be lost. For this reason,
DO NOT remove the battery within the first 24 hours of
use.

Starting the Terminal

Press the button to turn on the terminal. If the terminal does
not power on, perform a hard reset. See Performing a Hard Reset

on page 13.

As the terminal initializes its unique Flash File system, the Symbol
splash screen displays for about a minute followed by the
calibration screen. Note that these screens also appear every time
you perform a hard reset.

Calibrating the Screen

To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns
with the tip of your stylus:

1. Remove the stylus from its storage silo on the back of the ter­minal.

2. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center
of each target that appears on the screen.

Note: To re-calibrate the screen at anytime, press +

Using the Stylus

The stylus selects items and enters information. The stylus
functions as a mouse.

• Tap: Touch the screen once with the stylus to press option
buttons and open menu items.

• Double-Tap: Touch the screen twice to execute application
software.

• Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the
screen to select text and images. Drag in a list to select mul­tiple items.

Scanning

The terminal has an integrated scanner which collects data by
scanning bar codes. See the PPT 8800 Series Product Reference
Guide for information on configuring your terminal for scanning.

To scan bar codes:

1. Launch the terminal’s scanning application.

2. Aim the scanner at the bar code.

11

PPT 8800

3. Press either the right, or left scan trigger. Ensure the red
scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green scan LED
lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.

Initiating a Network Connection

Before using the terminal, set up the Spectrum24 network or
Bluetooth connection. Refer to the PPT 8800 Series Product
Reference Guide for setup instructions.

Quick Reference

Resetting the Terminal

If the terminal stops responding to input, reset it.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and
entries.

Caution: Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be

retained.
DO NOT perform a soft reset if the terminal is suspend-

ed. Press the power button to wake the terminal.

To perform a soft reset on the Standard 6-key keypad, press the
Enter and keys while holding down either the left or right scan
trigger and then releasing the keys.

To perform a soft reset on the 15-key keypad, press and

keys while holding down either the left or right scan trigger

and then releasing the keys.

Performing a Hard Reset

A hard reset also restarts the terminal , bu t erases all stored
records and entries. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless

a soft reset does not solve the problem.

Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with

a computer during the next ActiveSync operation. See
the PPT 8800 Series Product Reference Guide.
