Storage and Safety Precautions
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months,
their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resista nce. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored
at temperatures between -4
°F and 158°F (-20°C to 70°C), however they may be
depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is re commended to store
batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
Charging Considerations
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room
temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the
stated range of 32
°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C). Charging batteries outside of the
specified range could da mage the batterie s and shorten their charging life cycle.

Unite ch PT930SA
Note: If you’re setting up an Internet mail account with a n ISP (Internet Service
Provider), the ISP must use a POP3 mail server and an SMTP mail gateway.
For dial-up connection s, you’ll require an internal PCMCIA type modem card
available from U nitech, or external modem for the PT930SA. You’ll also need to
set up the remote connection on the PT930SA using the Connections program.
For wireless connections, you’ll require an RF card for the PT930SA. You’ll also
need to set up the remote connection on the PT930SA via the Network setting.
The software for creating an Internet Mail connection to a n ISP is pre-in stalled on
the PT930SA.
Setting Up Remote Mail
You can use multiple mail services to obtain mail. For each
mail service you will access, first
set up and n ame each mail
service. If you will use the same
service to connect to different
mailboxes, set up and name each
mailbox connection.
In the InBox on the PT930SA, ta p
Compose, Options, the Services tab , and then the Add
button. A setup wizard will walk
you through the steps.
Work Remotely
Mail received vi a di al-up conne ction appears in the InBox folder on the PT930SA,
together with the mail you synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages
received remotely are linked to your mail server rather than to your desktop
computer.
You ca n work online, which means that you read and respond to messages while
connected to the server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which
saves space on your device.
Page 35

Product Reference Guide
You can also work offline. Once you’ve downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the server and then decide which
message to download completely. The next time you connect, InBox automatically downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends
the messages you’ve composed.
Receiving Messages
Messages rece ived by synchronizing with your desktop computer and through
remote connections appear together in your InBox. Double-tap a message to read
it.
When you connect to your Internet mail service, the InBox downloads only the first
100 lines of each new message to the InBox folder by default. No mail attachments are downloaded. When you synchronize with your desktop computer, only
the first 50 lines of each new message remains on the mail server or your desktop computer.
You’ll need to download a full message bef ore you can view its atta chments.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in
their entirety the next time you synchronize or connect to
your mail service. Select the message, tap Service, and
then tap Retrieve Full Copy. The icons in the InBox
messages list give you a visual indication of the message
status.
Specify your downloading preferences when setting up
the service or selecting your synchronization options.
You can change them at a ny time.
To change InBox delivery options for mail synchronization: in the Mobile
Devices window on your desktop computer select your WinCE icon, click
Tools, and then click ActiveSync Options. Select Message and then click
Options. (For the Options button to be available, you must have previously
enabled message synchronization.)
To change InBox delivery options for remote mail: in InBox on your PT930, tap
Service and then tap the service name. Then tap Service again and tap

In InBox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Service menu.
Then tap Connect.
They are tran sferred to the OutBox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your
desktop computer the next time you synchronize.
RF Communication
Windows CE can support TCP/IP protocol, so the user can easily connect to the
Internet by Modem or RF. The following chapter is an introduction on how to
connect the PT930SA to a network via TCP/IP.
There are several PCMCIA RF cards available on the market. These cards
provide the PT930SA with wireless communications. Currently, Unitech provides
Cisco 350, Lucent WaveLAN (Agere Orinoco) RF support for the PT930SA with
the drivers pre-installed. By selecting a supported card for the PT930SA RF
communication will be “plug-and-play”.
RF networks look and operate similarly to Ethernet networks. The only
difference is that a radio transmission
replaces the hard-wire connection
between the various nodes. This
means all of your existing a pplication s
that currently operate over Ethernet
will also function utilizing WLAN
without any special wireless network
software. This picture illustrates a
typical network topology including the
PT930 with RF.

Cha pter 5. Useful Application Program
BarSetup
When it is necessary for the user to change the default barcode symbology for a
different application, BarSetup provides the ability to change default symbology,
pla ce delimiter chara cters behind scanned data, a nd save the settings.
Run this program from \Windows\BarSetup.exe and two buttons will be
displayed: “Barcode Symbologies” and “Delimiter”.
Bar2Key
The PT930SA’s built-in scanner is connected to the COM3 port. Applications
written for the PT930SA should therefore call U nite ch’s scanner DLL library
(please refer to the PT930SA SDK/Programming Ma nual f or detailed functions of
the DLL library). Sometimes, however, it is not easy for the user to get scanned
data into the user’s application progra m, especially if the application has been
provided by a 3rd party and user modification of the source program is not allowed.
In this situation use Bar2Key.exe.
“Bar2Key.exe” is a useful tool for users to get scanned data into any application
program. While it is running, all sca nned data will be routed to a standard keyboard input buffer. In other words, scanned data will be tre ated as keyboard input.
Thus, any application program can receive sca nned data as if it were input by the
keyboard.
Locate “Bar2Key.EXE” in the \Windows folder. After
executing it, a Barcode icon will appear on the taskbar .
Then press the sca nner trigger key to scan the barcode
label.
In order to exit Bar2Key.exe, double tap the Barcode icon
on the ta s kbar and then tap the Exit button.
For detailed barcode symbology settings, please refer to
the next section.
