Charging the Battery

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge indicator light in the Indicator LED bar remains lit (see Table 1-1 on page 1-13 for charge status indications). Charge time is less than four hours. The mobile computer can be charged using a cradle, the CAM with a charging cable, or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.

The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery. When the mobile computer is used for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the mobile computer's main battery is removed. When the mobile computer reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.

Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.

The following accessories can be used to charge batteries.

• Cradles: The mobile computer slips into the cradles for charging the battery in the mobile computer (and spare batteries, where applicable). For detailed cradle setup and charging procedures see:

• Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle on page 12-11

• Vehicle Cradle on page 12-15

• Four Slot Ethernet Cradle on page 12-28 and Four Slot Charge Only Cradles on page 12-

30.

• Accessories: The mobile computer’s snap-on accessories provide charging capability, when used with one of the accessory charging cables. For detailed snap-on setup and charging procedures see:

•MSR on page 12-34

•CAM on page 12-39.

• Chargers: The mobile computer’s spare battery charging accessories are used to charge batteries that are removed from the mobile computer. For detailed spare battery charging accessories setup and charging procedures see:

Page 47

• Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle on page 12-11

• Vehicle Cradle on page 12-15

• Four Slot Spare Battery Charger on page 12-32

• Universal Battery Charger (UBC) on page 12-43.

To achieve the best battery life in mobile computers with multiple radios, turn off the radios that are not being used. This can be accomplished via the SetDevicePower() API (refer to the SMDK Help File) or via the Control Panel application (tap Start - 9000 Demo - Ctl Panel icon).

Charging the Main Battery

Charge the main battery in the mobile computer using a cradle, the CAM with a charging cable, or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.

1. Ensure the accessory used to charge the main battery is connected to the appropriate power

source (see Chapter 12, Accessories for setup information).

2. Insert the mobile computer into a cradle or attach the appropriate snap-on module.

3. The mobile computer starts to charge automatically. The amber charge LED, in the Indicator

LED Bar, lights to show the charge status. See Table 1-1 for charging indications.

Introduction

This chapter explains the physical buttons and controls on the mobile computer, how to use the mobile computer, including instructions for powering on and resetting the mobile computer, using the stylus and a headset, entering information and scanning.

Keypads

Each of the mobile computers have interchangeable modular keypads:

• 28-key keypad (MC9000-K)

• 43-key keypad (MC9000-K)

• 53-key keypad (MC9000-K)

• 28-key keypad (MC9000-S)

• 38-key numeric/function keypad (MC9000-S)

• 38-key alpha/shifted numeric keypad (MC9000-S).

The modular keypads can be changed in the field, as necessary, to support specialized applications. See Keypads on page 12-7 for installation and removal procedures.

For detailed keypad information, including ASCII values and VK codes, see

Appendix D, Keypad Maps.

For information about using the soft keyboard input panel, see Entering Information

Using the Input Panel on page 2-46.

28-Key Keypad (MC9000-K)

The 28-key keypad contains a Power button, application keys, scroll keys and function keys. The keypad is color-coded to indicate the alternate function key (blue) values. Note that keypad functions can be changed by an application so the mobile computer’s keypad may not function exactly as described. See Table 2-1 on page 2-6 for key and button descriptions and Table 2-7 on page 2-29 for the keypad’s special functions.

Key Description

Power (red) Powers the mobile computer on and off.

Performs a warm boot and a cold boot. See Resetting the Mobile Computer on page 2-92 for information about performing a warn and cold boot.

Green/Red Dot WWAN Mobile Computers:

Green/Red dot keys operate on MC9062/MC9063 phone devices. Green dot: press to display the phone keypad window or to dial a phone number (from

the phone keypad window). Red dot: press on phone keypad window to stop dialing or end a call.

Non-WWAN Mobile Computers:

To use a key as an application key (APP key) on the keyboard, a new keyboard remap table must be created and installed. However, the Green/Red dot keys can be remapped as APP keys through the registry.

Create a registry file with the following entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD] "GreenKeyOverride" = dword: xx, where xx is the new APP key code. "RedKeyOverride" = dword: yy, where yy is the new APP key code. Copy the registry file to the \Platform folder, then cold boot the mobile computer. This sends an APP key code, instead of their original key codes, when the green or red

dot key is pressed.

Scan (yellow) Scan key - used for scanning applications, this key has the same function as the right Scan

button.

Scroll Up and Down Moves up and down from one item to another.

Increases/decreases specified values.

Scroll Left and Right Moves left and right from one item to another.
