Maintenance and Care
Normal care
Shut down the power and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet before cleaning
the Rugged PDA. Cleaning the Rugged
PDA with the power on creates the danger
of electric shock.
• Clean the Rugged PDA by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. If the Rugged PDA is very
dirty, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with a weak solution of water and
a mild neutral detergent. Wring out all excess of moisture before wiping.
• Thinner, benzene, or other organic agents can cause deformation or discoloration of
the Rugged PDA's case, and even malfunction of the Rugged PDA. Never use such
agents when cleaning.
• Use only the stylus accompanied with the Rugged PDA (or specified by CASIO) for
inputting on the LCD screen. Before using the stylus, remove any dirt from the tip of
it and on the screen. Dirt if any may make an input with the stylus more difficult or
damage on the screen. Also take care that you do not misplace or lose the stylus.
• Clean the Rugged PDA's LCD screen by wiping it with a soft, clean cloth. Never use
water, neutral detergents, or chemically treated cloths to clean the screen. A dirty
screen can interfere with response to stylus operations, and smooth movement of the
stylus tip. The screen is easily scratched, so take care that you do not apply to much
pressure when cleaning it.

Maintenance
Never remove the Rugged PDA's outer
cover or otherwise try to take it apart or
modify it in any way. High voltage inside
the case creates the danger of electric
shock.
In the following instances, immediately shut down the power, remove the battery pack,
unplug the power plug from the power outlet, and contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor:
• Damaged power cord or plug
• Liquid leaking from the Rugged PDA
• Unit being dropped
• Damaged unit cover
• Very abnormal function
Never try to make any adjustments except as specifically instructed by this User's Guide.
Improper adjustment or modification on the Rugged PDA can permanently damage it
and make it impossible to restore normal operation.
Never attempt to repair or modify this product in any way.

Power Supply
The Rugged PDA uses an AC adaptor to connect to an outside power source or to
recharge the batteries. Attach the battery pack and charge the Rugged PDA's battery
until it is full to do the initial setup when using it for the first time or after not using it for a
long period, and when the battery is low.

Caution!
Use the battery pack provided or a battery pack specified
by the manufacture. Using a battery pack that is not
specified by the manufacturer may cause a fire.

Battery Pack
The Rugged PDA operates on a battery pack (lithium-ion battery) as its main
battery, and has an internal backup battery to protect its memory when removing
the battery pack. Note the following points when using the Rugged PDA.

Important! Read This Information!
• Turn off the Rugged PDA before replacing batteries.
• When the battery discharges beyond a set level, "Main battery remaining
capacity low" or "Backup battery remaining capacity low" message appears. If
this kind of messages appears, immediately charge either the battery pack or
the backup battery depending on the displayed message.
• The "Main battery remaining capacity low" message's title bar can be shown in
either blue when the remaining capacity is 30% or less or red when the remaining capacity is 10% or less. Do not replace the battery pack when the "Backup
battery remaining capacity low" message appears. Data in the memory may be
lost if it is replaced while the message appears on the screen.

Important

If the Rugged PDA with the battery pack being discharged has been
left over for a long period, or if the battery pack is replaced incorrectly,
data in the memory may be lost accidentally. We recommend backing
up data in the memory to other memory device, such as the hard disk
of a computer or a memory card. Refer to Help for ActiveSync for
information about how to back up data to a computer.

Important

• Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is between
0˚C to 40˚C. Charging the battery in an extremely cold location or in
direct sunlight causes the battery to deteriorate or to leak fluid.
• If the battery is correctly charged, but the Rugged PDA operates for
only a short time, the battery pack may have reached the end of its
service life. If this happens, you need a new one to replace with the
run-down battery pack.
• The battery pack may become warm while it is being charged or being used. This is normal for the battery pack and is not a malfunction.

Note

The internal backup battery and the battery pack (main battery) have
low capacity remained at time of purchase. Fully charge the batteries
before using the Rugged PDA for the first time.

IT-10_1/25-39-E.p65

06.6.15, 6:40 PM

Charging the Battery with the AC Adaptor
Pull back the rubber cover from the AC adaptor jack and insert the cable. The
battery pack takes about 5 hours (when the Rugged PDA is turned off) to fully
charge, and then the left side indicator LED lights green. Under the same conditions, the built in backup battery takes four hours to fully charge.

Warning!
Use the AC adaptor specified by CASIO. Using the AC
adaptor that is not specified may cause a fire.

Remove the AC adaptor cable in the following order q ➔ w ➔ e.

q
e
When the battery pack is fully
charged, remove the AC adaptor
cable and be sure to replace the

rubber cover to its original position.

If the left side indicator LED goes out during charging, then the internal protection
circuit may have terminated charging. If this happens, remove the AC adaptor and
the battery pack from the Rugged PDA and then reattach them again and then
start charging again. If this happens frequently it may indicate a malfunction,
contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor.
Note

• You can use the Rugged PDA while it is charging. However, the time
to charge the Rugged PDA may vary greatly depending on the operations performed on the Rugged PDA (and the surrounding temperature or other factors).
• Charging requires a longer than normal time when doing initial setup
after purchase or when charging a newly purchased battery pack for
the first time.

Word Completion options:
The Rugged PDA intelligently will attempt to guess at or predict the full word that
you're entering by doing a dictionary lookup. When you purchase the Rugged
PDA, a default set of words is installed. However, as you begin using the Rugged
PDA and begin using words not in that dictionary, they are automatically added to
a custom user dictionary that is also searched by the word completion feature. To
change how word completion works, select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area
and tap Options. Tap the Word Completion tab.

These options allow you to turn word completion on or off, allow you to adjust at
what point the full word should be predicted, and whether or not text should be
replaced while you type.

To type with the soft keyboard:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard.
2. On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus.
The soft keyboard can be used in two modes: large and small. Large mode gives
the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; small mode gives
you special commands like backspace and forward space in the form of onscreen keys rather than stylus-based gestures.

By default, small keyboard with on-screen special commands is provided. This
looks much like a standard QWERTY keyboard found on your desktop PC.

Here is the large keyboard without gestures enabled. Notice the absence of
numerical keys.

Finally, here is large keyboard with gestures enabled.

Quick Stroke lets you write all letters using one stroke. While this method will allow
you to write faster, it requires learning how to form letters in a new way.
Right to left crossbar should be enabled if you form crossbars on the letters 't', 'f',
and '+' from right to left instead of left to right.
Allow accented characters will force the recognizer to predict whether your
inputted characters should have accent marks. For example, á.

To convert writing to text:
• Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize
on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word
(tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a
list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at

Tips for getting good recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t"
and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word
above. Write periods and commas above the line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools
menu.
Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that
the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents,
and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after
you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if
you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The
difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and
how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while
writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent
strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings
that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

Note

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily
work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom
level.

Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

Support for Clip-on Keyboards
The Rugged PDA works to make your computing session more productive when
you've installed a snap-on keyboard on the Rugged PDA. Not only does entering
text become much faster with a physical keyboard, but a large number of standard
keyboard shortcut commands (like CTRL+C, copy; CTRL+Z, undo; CTRL+V, paste;
etc.) are just a few easy clicks away. Additionally, most the Rugged PDA applications built for the latest operating system now support keyboard mnemonics, meaning menu items are accessible without ever needing to use the stylus on the screen.

Consider the above pop-up menu from the Notes application. As you can see, by
merely tapping the "R" key on the keyboard, any selected text will be recognized.
No need to use the stylus! Keyboard support will allow you to keep one hand free to
perform other tasks.

transfer of data between two Rugged PDAs, or between the Rugged PDA and
other type of Pocket PC. You can also use infrared communication to transfer data
and perform data synchronization between the Rugged PDA and a PC.

Infrared Communication port

Note

The information in this section covers infrared communication operations between two Rugged PDAs only.
For information about infrared communication to transfer or synchronize data between the Rugged PDA and a PC, see ActiveSync help.

Transferring Data
This section explains how to use infrared communication to transfer data between
two Rugged PDAs. To transfer data, you will need to perform different operations
respectively at the original and destination sides.

Note that you cannot use infrared communication when the Rugged
PDA is connected to a PC by cable. Before trying to perform infrared
communication, first disconnect the cable from the Rugged PDA or
remove the Rugged PDA from the Cradle.

Bluetooth®
Bluetooth® is wireless communication technology that uses the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz
band to transfer data. The Rugged PDA comes with Bluetooth® technology built in, which
provides it with the capability of performing high-speed, high-stability short-range wireless
communication.
Two Rugged PDAs with Bluetooth® intehrated do not need to be aligned with each other in
order to connect.
When Bluetooth® is turned on, two Rugged PDAs that are within three meters distance of
each other will be able to perform the following types of data send and receive operations.
• Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, etc. exchange
• File transfer
• Connection to a Bluetooth® wireless LAN
• Connection with another Bluetooth® device

Important Precautions
The radio waves emitted by a Bluetooth® device can affect the operation of
medical equipment, etc. In some cases, this can even lead to a serious
accident. To prevent this, turn off either the Rugged PDA or the Bluetooth®
functions in the areas described below. In hospital, train, aircraft, in gasoline
station or any other area where flammable gas is generated, near automatic
door, or fire alarm devices.

94
IT-10/67-100.p65

06.6.15, 6:47 PM

Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication
Note the following information, which can help you ensure successful Bluetooth®
data communication.
• Make sure the Rugged PDA is visible from and within about 3 meters of the
other Bluetooth® devices. The communication range may be shorter depending on the local environment (if there are walls and furniture in the path, or

radio wave is emitted by other Bluetooth® device, etc.), and the structure of
the building where you are located.
Ferroconcrete structures in particular can cause problems, because iron
reinforcements between floors and in walls can make communication
impossible. Perform data communication at least two meters from other
devices (electric appliances, AV equipment, office equipment, digital
cordless telephones, facsimiles, etc.) Microwave ovens in particular can
cause problems, so the distance should be increased to at least three
meters. Turning on the power of another device that is too close can interfere
with proper communication, TV and radio interference, and reception
interference (in particular, distortion of certain UHF or broadcast satellite
channel TV images). If proper communication is not possible in the vicinity of
a transmitter, wireless device, or other device, move to another location. Very
strong radio waves in the area can make proper communication impossible.

Wireless LAN Radio Interference
Since Bluetooth® devices and wireless LANs (IEEEE802.11b/g) use the same
frequency band, using the Rugged PDA in the vicinity of a wireless LAN enabled
device can generate radio interference, which can result in slower communication
speeds and even make connection impossible. If this happens, take the following
steps.
• Move the Rugged PDA so it is at least 10 meters from the wireless LAN enabled
device.
• If you must use one of the two devices within 10 meters of the other, turn off
either the Rugged PDA or the wireless LAN.
The Bluetooth Version 1.2 built into the Rugged PDA allows simultaneous use of wireless LAN and Bluetooth communication. However,
communication may not be possible due to the surrounding electromagnetic fields.

Bluetooth

IT-10/67-100.p65

06.6.15, 6:48 PM

Wireless LAN
The IT-10M20BR* supports connection to an 802.11b wireless LAN, or to a wireless LAN
compatible peripheral. For example, you could connect to a hot spot at a train station or
other public facility, access the Internet and send or receive e-mail, or access a company
network. See "Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication" on page 95 for more
information.

Using a Wireless Communication

Warning
• The use of wireless communication devices and electronic
devices in aircraft is recommended to consult first with flight
attendant prior to the use.
• Do not use wireless communication devices in the vicinity of
automatic doors, fire alarm devices, or other automatic control
equipment. Radio waves from wireless communication devices

Handling Precautions
Battery Charger
• Water or any other liquid on the power contacts creates the risk of electric shock
and fire. Dirt causes poor contact and decreases charging efficiency. After
unplugging the AC adaptor from the battery charger to ensure safety, wipe the
power contacts with a dry cloth, cotton swab, etc.
• A battery pack in the charger may become warm. This is normal.
• Do not place anything on top of the battery charger while charging is in progress.
• Do not remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC adaptor while charging is
in progress.
• Repeated loading and unloading of a battery pack can cause it to deteriorate.

Battery Pack
• A battery pack is not charged when you purchase it. Before using a new battery
pack or one that you have not used for a very long time, fully charge it first.
• A battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of operation you get from the
battery pack after charging it is very short or if the battery pack does not recover
no matter how many times you charge it, it probably means that the battery pack
has reached the end of its life. Replace the battery pack with a new one.

Connecting Dual Battery Chargers Together
You can connect up to three battery chargers together for simultaneous charging
of six battery packs. You need only one AC adaptor, even if you have multiple
battery chargers connected together. Do not connect more than three battery
chargers together.

1. Use a screwdriver or a
similar tool to remove the
connection terminal covers.
Do not use the stylus.

Positioning the battery
chargers in the same
direction, insert the male
connector of one into the
female connector of the
other.

114

06.6.15, 6:49 PM

2. Turn over the battery chargers, and secure them together with the
coupling plate and screws that come with the chargers.

3
Charging a Battery Pack
The optional AC adaptor (AD-S42120AE) is used to supply power to the battery
charger.
A battery pack can be inserted into either of the slots, or two battery packs can be
charged at the same time.

1. Connect the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor port of the battery charger.
2. Insert a battery pack into the battery charger.
Note that a battery pack must be oriented correctly when you insert it into
the battery charger. Orienting the battery pack as indicated by the

3. The charge status indicator lamp will light red, indicating that charging
has started.
A green flashing charge status indicator lamp while a battery pack is inserted in
the battery charger indicates charge standby. The indicator lamp will turn red and
charging will start when the ambient temperature returns to the range of 0˚ to 40˚C.
A green charge status indicator lamp indicates that charging is complete. Remove
the battery pack from the battery charger.
The time required for charging depends on whether you are charging one battery
pack or two battery packs per battery charger.
About two hours is required for a full charge when charging one battery pack per
charger, while about four hours is required for a full charge in the case of two
battery packs per charger.
If two battery packs are inserted into a single battery charger, it will take four hours
to charge the two battery packs fully. If two battery chargers are connected
together and one battery pack is inserted into each of the chargers, however, it will
take only about two hours to charge the two battery packs fully.
Important

• If the charge status indicator lamp starts to flash red during charging,
immediately remove the battery pack(s) and check the following points.
a) Is the operating temperature in the range of 0˚C to 40˚C?
➔ Wait until the operating temperature is within the allowable range
and charge again.
b) Are the power contacts dirty or rusty?
➔ Wipe the power contacts with a dry cloth, etc.
c) Does the same thing continue to happen even if you move to another
location for charging?
➔ It could mean that the battery pack is defective.

Cards
Using a Compact Flash (CF) Card
The Rugged PDA supports use of Type I and Type II (3.3V) Compact Flash cards.
The following are the types of Compact Flash cards supported by the Rugged
PDA.
Memory Card
A memory card works the same way as the data storage memory of the Rugged
PDA. You can use a memory card to store files created with the Rugged PDA, and
install programs on a memory card. Since data stored on a memory card is
retained even when the card is removed from the Rugged PDA, a memory card
can be used to transfer data between the Rugged PDA and a PC or other devices,
or to backup the Rugged PDA data.
Modem Card
A modem card can be used to connect the Rugged PDA to a general telephone
line (household modular jack, public phone equipped with a modular jack, etc.)
LAN Card
A LAN card (Ethernet card) makes it possible to connect the Rugged PDA to an
Ethernet network.
Communication Card
A cell phone or PHS communication card provides data communication capabilities using a cell phone or PHS circuit.
Important

• Before using a modem, LAN, communication, or similar card, make
sure that the Rugged PDA's battery pack is charged sufficiently. Low
battery power during communication can cause unstable communication, loss of the data that is being used, and powering down of the
Rugged PDA.
• Never turn off power or remove a memory card from the Rugged PDA
while data is being written to or read from the card. Doing so can
damage the memory card or its data.

Accessing Files on a Memory Card
In order for the Rugged PDA's built-in programs to access files on a memory card,
a folder named "My Documents" must be created on the memory card (using File
Explorer), and the files to be accessed must be moved to the "My Documents"
folder. Note the following points.
• Create the "My Documents" folder in the top directory of the memory card. Do not
create it inside of any other folder. Use single-byte characters to input the "My
Documents" name, and be sure to include a single-byte space between the words
"My" and "Documents."
• Placing a file inside of the "My Documents" folder allows it to be opened by
various types of programs (Notes, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel). The programs
cannot open any file that is outside of the "My Documents" folder.

Important

When there are memory cards loaded in both the CF card slot and
the SD card slot, applications and setting operations are able to access only one card or the other (normally the first one that was loaded).

Loading and Removing a Compact Flash Card
Precautions when Loading and Removing Cards
• The card has a front and back, and it must be oriented correctly when loading it
into the card slot. Attempting to force the card while it is oriented incorrectly can
damage the connectors or the slot. Exercise care when loading a card.
• When inputting or editing data, it is recommended that you store any unsaved
data in main memory before loading or removing a card.
• In some cases, the Rugged PDA may not be able to recognize a card correctly
(indicated when programs cannot be started up using normal operations). If this
happens, try reloading the Compact Flash card, and then press the reset switch.
• Using an I/O card that consumes a large amount of the current while battery
power is low can cause the Rugged PDA to power down momentarily and then
power back up again immediately.

The model is not available in the USA and Canada.

Though TFT screens are made using extremely high-grade technology, uneven
brightness or fine dots sometimes occurs on these screens. Also, some dots on the
screen do not light or stay continually lit. These, however, are not malfunctions.

The distance varies depending on the surrounding environment (such as walls,
appliances and other sources of radio waves).

Incompatibility between devices may make it impossible to connect FIR.
Operating time and charging time using the battery pack sometimes differ from the
above values depending on the operating environment and the options that are
connected.

Time until 10% power remaining warning message (red title bar) appears, for a new
battery (normal temperature), continuous data input (60 characters input in one
minute) and display in a 1:10 ratio, backlight off, CPU speed set to low power
consumption.

The battery pack discharges a small amount of current for maintaining the memory
even when the power is turned off.
