Working With Bluetooth Scanners

Scanner Manager recognizes Bluetooth scanners that are in master mode. This
means that the scanner initiates the connection. In order to do that, it must have
a way to know which unit to connect to.

Scanner manufacturers explain how to proceed to congure and pair their

devices in their documentation. Usually, the user must create a special barcode
based on the Bluetooth MAC address of the computer. Once that barcode has
been generated, it does not change. It can be placed on the M9020, and the
next time any scanner has to be associated with the unit, an operator simply
needs to scan the code and wait the connection to be established automatically.

For Winmate and Symbol/Motorola scanners, you can use the Bluetooth Master

Pairing tab in the ScannerManager Bluetooth settings as follows:

Bluetooth Master Conguration When Using BlueSoleil or the Microsoft BT Stack

The Bluetooth Master Conguration dialog box allows the ltering of which
Bluetooth scanner to accept a connection from. With the default values (empty),
the rst detected device using the Serial Port Prole (SPP) will be selected. In

most cases, this is correct. If you are using more than one SPP devices, change
the values to select, for example, only scanners from a given model.

Managing Power

CHAPTER

4

Your M9020 operates either on external AC power or on battery power.
This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain

optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the
proper way.

The topics in this chapter include:

• How to charge the battery pack

• How to check the battery level

• What happens when the battery is low and what actions to take

• What is Power Management

• How to save power

Managing Power

4-2 Winmate Technologies

Managing Power

Battery Pack

The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you use the
device.

When you use applications that often access peripherals, or when you stay
connected to a wireless network, the operating time of the battery may be
shortened.

WARNING:

• Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Doing so

may present risk of exposure to harmful chemicals, explosion or re.

• Contact your local waste disposal service provider regarding the disposal or recycling of used
battery packs.

Charging the Battery Pack

Perform one of the following, to charge the battery pack(s):

Via M9020

1. With the battery pack(s) installed, plug the DC cord of the AC adapter into
the power connector of M9020.

2. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC adapter.

3. Then plug the male end of the AC power cord into an electrical outlet.

3

CAUTION:

• When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet rst and then from
M9020. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or M9020.

• When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.

Winmate Technologies 4-3

Managing Power

Via Charger (Optional)

1. From the top side of the battery pack, align and place the battery into the
battery charger.

2. Press down on the battery pack.

3. Repeat the above steps to install the second battery pack if necessary.

4. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter into the power connector of the battery
charger.

5. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC adapter.

6. Then plug the male end of the AC power cord into an electrical outlet.

7. Wait until the LED indicator on the battery charger lights from “red” to

“green”, indicating charging is nished.

NOTE:

• The additional battery pack is optional.

• The battery pack(s) are hot-swappable.

Replacing the Battery Pack

If you rely on battery power for a long period of time, consider purchasing
additional batteries to allow a continuous use of the device.

To replace the battery pack, perform the following:

1. Place M9020 face down on a at even surface.

2. Rotate the lock latch to the unlock (

) direction, until the battery pack is

released from the socket.

3. Release the battery pack from the bay and remove.

4. Install the replacement battery pack (see “Installing the Battery Pack” on
page 1-17).

4-6 Winmate Technologies

Managing Power

Power Management

The power management feature helps reduce power consumption which
extends battery life.

Your M9020 supports ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface) for

power management. Power supply to different components is controlled on an
as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at
the same time.

Windows comes with pre-dened Power Options (Balanced, Power Saver,
and High Performance) for you to select. You can access Power Options by
tapping Start > Control Panel > Power Options. By default, your M9020 is in
Balanced Mode.

For detailed information on power management, see Windows Help.

Power Saving Tips

Here are some practical suggestions that you can do to maximize the operating
time of the battery:

• Enable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves power. A
power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how
your M9020 manages power.

• Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.

• Shorten the length of time before Windows turns off the display.

• Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB

ash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.

• Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it.

• Deactivate Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it.

• Turn off M9020 when you are not using it.

Using BIOS Setup and System Recovery

CHAPTER

6

BIOS Setup Utility is a program for conguring the BIOS (Basic Input/ Output
System) settings of M9020. The BIOS is a layer of software, called rmware,
that translates instructions from other layers of software into instructions that
M9020 hardware can understand. The BIOS settings are needed by your
M9020 to identify the types of installed devices and establish special features.

System Recovery reinstalls Windows to your system and congures it to s
factory default settings.

The chapter describes how to use the BIOS Setup and System Recovery.
