Installing the SPS 3000 SDK
The Symbol SPS 3000 Windows CE SDK (Software Developer’s
Kit) provides the tools necess ary to create and deploy bar code
scanning and Spectrum2 4 wirele ss LAN applications for the
Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.
Note:The SDK contains the scan drivers needed to ope rate
the SPS 3000.
Download the SDK from the Software Developer Zone at this web
address:
http://software.symbol.com/devzone
After the SDK is properly installed, reboot the iPAQ by pressing
the reset button with the stylus.
Checking the Battery Power
(For WLAN units)
The SPS 3000 battery must have a
sufficient charge. When the SPS
3000 battery falls below critical
levels, the iP A Q automatic ally shuts
down the SPS 3000 and the screen
displays pictur ed on you r iPAQ
.
This does not af fect the iP AQ battery
or the operation of the iPAQ.
Note:Battery longevity de-
pends upon many factors, such as amount and
type of usage. For exam-

ple, extended wirele ss co mmunica tions has an impact
on battery life. To conserve battery pow er, the integrated 802.11b radio (WLAN) has the capability t o red uce
power consumption when wireless communications is
not in use.
To check the battery power:
1.Power on the iPAQ by pressing and releasing the power
button.
2.Tap to display the Start screen.
3.Select Settings.
4.Select System from the bott om of the Settings screen.
5.
Scroll the screen, i f necessary, and select the Power icon
to display the Power screen

iPAQ Battery Status Bar
SPS 3000 Battery Status Bar
When the iPAQ battery charges, the main battery “power remaining” status bar continuously u pdates until the iP AQ battery
is fully charged (100%). If the SPS 3000 is connected, and its
battery is low, the external battery “power remaining” status bar

continuously upda tes until the SPS 3000 battery is fully charged
(100%). The expansion pack battery charges after the iPAQ
battery is fully charged.
Note:The SPS 3000 scan only model doe s not include a bat-
tery. Therefore no external battery status bar displays
on the Power screen with a scan only model.
Charging the SPS 3000 Battery
(For WLAN Units)
The SPS 3000 battery is internal and cannot be removed. The
battery can be charg ed with the expansion pack connected to an
iPAQ or unconnected to an iPAQ.
Charging Expansion Pack
Alone
1. Insert the power plug
from the AC adapter into
the power jack on the
expansion pack. Plug
the other end into a wall
outlet.
Note:A fully discharged
battery recharges
in approximately 2.5 ho urs . There i s no indication that
the battery is charging or is fully charged. The iPAQ
must be used to check the battery status.

Charging Expansion Pack Connected to an iPAQ
1. Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power
jack on the iP AQ or on the expansi on pack, or place the two

units into a cradle that has the AC adapter power plug co nnected. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a w al l outlet.
2. The battery in the expansion pack be gins to charge only
after the battery in the iPAQ is fully charged. The iPAQ battery takes approximat ely 2.5 hours to charge w he n fully discharged.
3. Check the state of the expansion pack battery on the “Power”
screen under the "Extern al bat tery :" entry.
4. When expansion pack, when being charged, will have "Recharging” state: and "C harging state ” displays abo ve the bar
graph on the iPAQ charging screen.
Note:The bar graph continuously steps from 0 to 100% as
the battery is charging.
5. When the expansion pack battery is completely charged, the
entry above the bar gr aph will change to read "Battery pow er
remaining:" and the ba r graph will be filled to 100%.
6. When the expansi on pack ba ttery is comp letely charged , remove the external power from th e AC adap ter.
Note:The battery in the expansion pac k begins to charge
only after the battery in the iPAQ fully charged. The
iP AQ battery an d the extern al battery to gether take approximately 5 hours to charge when both are fully discharged.
Inserting the iPAQ into the SPS 3000
1. Slide the iPAQ through the SPS 3000 sleeves to c onnect the
iP AQ and SPS 3000.

2. The iPAQ and SPS 3000 are joined when their expansion
connectors are fully engaged. (You will hear a slight click.)
Expansion
Connectors
To remove the SPS 3000, push up on the bottom of the iPAQ to
disengage the expansion connector, then sl ide the iPAQ off the
SPS 3000 sleeves.
When inserting the iPAQ and SPS 3000 into the cradle, ensure
that the retractable stabi liz ing arms located on the inside of the
cradle are extended. These will provide a secure fit between the
units. If the arms are not ex tended before inserting the iPAQ and
