1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 WDT60 DESCRIPTION

The WDT60 contains the most innovative technical features, providing them to the
user in an ergonomic and elegant form factor. The accelerometer, the vibrator alert
and the 3 LEDs help to not waste time in the configuration and usage of the product.
Working with the WDT60 becomes an easy pleasure.

Great aesthetics do not put the robustness on a second level. The WDT60 has been
designed for survival in the industrial environmental, outside or inside the four walls.
The reliability of the product continues with the architecture chosen: an 806MHz
processor working with 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of Flash. A Micro SD card slot
supporting micro SDHC storage cards provides for virtually unlimited storage space.

The WDT60 has been equipped with a 1D laser scanner.
The WDT60 wireless technology provides two radios with internal antennas:

Bluetooth® EDR for fast and close data connections and 802.11 b/g/n Cisco CCX v4
certified Wi-Fi for quick wireless network access.

The WDT60 integrates the latest Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, tailored for
mobile devices.

Rechargeable battery packs are not initially fully charged. Therefore
the first operation to perform is to charge them. See paragraph 2.1.

them. See below.

Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible
risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.

The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such
as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life,
storage, environmental conditi ons, etc.

Moreover recharging is possible by USB direct connection with the host computer,
but with longer charging times.

Insert the micro-USB cable output plug into the micro-USB connector
of the WDT60, making sure that the arrow on the plug faces upwards:

NOTE

During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display glows
red constantly. Once the charging process has been completed this LED glows green
constantly.

If the battery pack is removed from the PDA, it can be recharged by inserting it into
the rear slot of a Single Cradle.

Do not use the WDT60 until standard batteries are charged for
minimum 4 hours and extended batteries are charged for minimum 6

CAUTION

hours.

Even if the storage temperature range is wider, in order to achieve
the longest battery life, store the terminal and the spare batteries
between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF).

NOTE

In order to achieve the maximum charging rate the WDT60 should be
charged beetween 0-40 °C.

Never charge the main device or spare batteries in a closed space
where excessive heat can build up.

Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by
authorized personnel and following this manual.

WARNING

The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious
injury if exposed to abusive conditions.

If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of
explosion and/or fire.

Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other heat source;
do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the
battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place
the battery pack in microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in high
pressure containers, on induction cook surfaces or similar devices.
Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or
ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss
of performance and a shortened life expectancy.

Use only a Wasp approved power supply. The use of an alternative
power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product
damage and may cause heat, an explosion, or fire.

The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris
and combustible materials or chemica ls.

Do not use the battery pack of this terminal to power devices other
than this PDA.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using,
charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an
unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears
abnormal in any other way.

Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive
terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example,
when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse;
accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as
a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the
battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack or the
connecting object.

Do not apply voltages to the batter y pack contact s.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer,

step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts, pressures, or
shocks.

4.4.3 Resetting the WDT60

There are several reset methods for the WDT60.
A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the working RAM,

but preserves the file system. Registry is restored from persistent memory if available
or returned to factory default.

A cold boot forces all applications to close, completely reinitializing the system. It
clears the working RAM, but the file system is preserved. Registry is restored from
persistent memory.

A clean boot restores the WDT60 to a clean configuration: both the Registry and the
file
system return to a clean status that conforms to factory default.

Warm Boot

4.10 LOCKED WEB BROWSER

The Locked Web Browser is a web browser helper object for Internet Explorer. It
allows an administrator to define a restricted internet usage environment. Once in the
restricted environment, a password is required to exit. This means users can only
access web applications and websites set by the administrator.

Configuration is s et up through the WDU control panel. See sec tion

4.8.2 for more information.

NOTE

Zoom In and Zoom Out will only affect screen text and not bitmaps.

NOTE

If the taskbar has been disabled, the Settings menu is not displayed. However, the
user can still navigate within the web application by using the following keyboard
shortcuts:

4.10.1 Locked Web Browser Special Meta-tags General Metatag Comments

A metatag is a special HTML tag that stores information about a Web page but does
not display in a Web browser. For example, metatags provide information such as
the program used to create the page, a description of the page, and keywords
relevant to the page.

As per the HTML specification, all metatags must be contained within a <head> …
</head> tag set.

Also, the head tag set must be complete within the first 15K of the web page.
The Wasp Locked Web Browser defines some special metatags that allow the web

application to interact with the device:
In particular, the special metatags allow it to:

- enable/disable scan engine triggers

- enable/disable specific symbol ogie s in the scan engi ne

- easily assign a key press to a javascript function.
Metatag settings of trigger enable, symbology enable, or DL_Key assignments

persist past the page in which they are loaded. The settings stay in effect until they
are changed by another metatag.

Trigger Metatag

DL_Triggers – “Enable” or “Dis able” all tr ig gers
If the page contains this tag, the triggers are enabled or disabled, depending on the
“content=” value.

Example:

<meta http-equiv="DL_Triggers" content="Disable">

GetSerialNumber Metatag

DL_GetSerialNumber – Obtains the device serial number and sends it as an
argument to a customer’s javascript function.

Content – name of function to pass serial number to. Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_GetSer i alNum ber" conten t =" Jav as cri pt:C ust omer Fun ction">

When a page with this metatag is loaded, the content should be a javascript function
that receives one parameter, the serial number. An example would be function
CustomerFunction(SerialNumber).

Reboot – Warm boot device Metatag

DL_Reboot – Warm boot device.
Content – “OnPageLoad” – Warm boot immediately upon page load.
Example:

<meta http-equiv="DL_Reboot" content=" OnPageLoad ">

Exit Metatag
DL_Exit – Exit the Locked Web Browser.
Content – “OnPageLoad” – Exit immediately upon page load. If “Exit password” has

been enabled in the Locked Web Browser options, the Exit password will be required
before exit.

Example:

<meta http-equiv="DL_ Exit " content=" OnPageLoad ">

Decoding Metatags:

Each decoding metatag has a possible content of “Enable” or “Disable”. The settings
are valid for the entire page (enables/disables each symbology).

Key press Metatags

The key press metatags can be used to call JavaScript functions. They have the
name structure: “DL_Key_xxx” where xxx is the VKey code.

Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_Key_13" content="Javascript:CheckEnter();">

Assigning a key press via a DL_Key metatag overrides its use on the page. For
instance, when entering data in a text box a character assigned as a DL_Key would
not be entered in the text box. Instead, the javascript action would occur.

Refer to the Microsoft website to find the list of all the possible Vkey codes:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa243025(VS.60).aspx

Because DL_Keys persist past the page in which they were loaded,
the DL_Clear metatag is provided to clear the settings on subsequent

NOTE

page loads.

Scanning Metatags

DL_Scan – Captures scan results and sends barcode/tag value to a javascript
function on the web page.

If the “content=” value is a javascript function the device will be taken out of keyboard
wedge mode and start listening for scan events. A scanned barcode/tag result will be
used as an argument to that javascript function which is then invoked.

If the “content=” value is “Wedge” then the device will stop listening for scanned
event and enter keyboard wedge mode.

If the “content=” value is “Disable” then the device will stop listening for scanned
events but not enter keyboard wedge mode.

Example:

<meta http-equiv=”DL_Scan” c ontent =” Javascript:ValidateInp ut() ”>
