1.1 BATTERY
Main Battery
9300 Mobile Computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/2700 mAh Li-ion battery
pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it. However, the charging
time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the mobile computer
can work for up to 10 hours.
Backup Battery
The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is
removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.6 V/15 mAh rechargeable Lithium
button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in suspend
mode for at least 20 hours without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to
replace the main battery as soon as possible.
1.1.1 INSERTING THE BATTERY
When you first receive the package, the rechargeable functionality of the backup battery
is turned off. It is controlled by a DIP switch inside the battery compartment as shown
below.
For shipping and storage purposes, save the mobile computer and the main battery in
separate packages, and adjust the DIP switch to the OFF position (bottom). This will keep
both batteries in good condition for future use.
Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
1) Remove the hand strap.
2) Hold the mobile computer still. Press the battery cover latch and slide it to unlock the
battery cover.
3) Remove the battery cover.

Reference Manual
4) Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment at a proper angle (30°~45°) so
that the metal contacts on the battery are met with the charging contacts inside the
compartment. Make sure that the battery is snugly fit into the compartment.
5) Put the battery cover back onto the mobile computer until it clicks into place.
6) If the battery is charged, the mobile computer turns on.
If the mobile computer does not turn on, charge the battery.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.

Specifications
1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first
receive the package, you will need to charge batteries to full before using the mobile
computer.
Note: To charge the batteries to full, it requires approximately 8 hours for the first time.
After the initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the batteries to full.
Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the
initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and then
seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging. This will have both the main and
backup batteries charged at the same time. To charge the backup battery, make sure
that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to the ON position.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.
1.1.3 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS
The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also
charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be
retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to
replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all,
always save data before it is too late; you should backup important data on a regular
basis.
Double-tap a battery icon so that you can quickly access the [Power Properties] dialog
box.

A wide variety of scan engines is available for delivering flexibility to meet different
requirements. Depending on the scan engine integrated, the mobile computer is capable
of scanning barcodes of a number of symbologies that are enabled by default while
running 93ReaderConfig.exe. If you need to scan barcodes that are encoded in a
different symbology, enable the symbology first. Refer to Appendixes for details on scan
engine settings.
Appendix I - Scan Engine Settings lists the symbologies and RFID tags supported.
Appendix II - CCD/Laser Scan Engine provides information on the reader settings as
well as symbology settings for the CCD or Laser scan engine.
Appendix III - 2D Scan Engine provides information on the reader settings as well as

SCAN ENGINE SETTINGS
The Reader Configuration Utility (93ReaderConfig.exe) allows configuring the
following reader types, depending on the module equipped on your mobile computer:
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
2D scan engine
RFID reader
Options of different reader combination are allowed, such as 1D+RFID and 2D+RFID. For
each combination, both readers can be initialized and ready for scanning at the same
time (dual mode operation). For example, if you press the [SCAN] button while running
the 93ReaderConfig utility on the mobile computer, it will read a barcode in position or an
RFID tag in proximity depending on which one comes first.
Note: (1) You cannot have 1D+2D scan engines installed on the mobile computer
because they are both barcode readers!
(2) You can run only one utility or application at a time to control the reader(s).
For example, while running 93ReaderConfig.exe, you should not run Application
Generator, STREAM Wireless Studio, MIRROR Browser, or any other application
that uses ReaderDLL.

Read Redundancy None
None No redundancy means one successful decoding will make the reading valid
and induce the "READER Event".
One time, Two times,
or Three times The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user
selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive
successful decodings of the same barcode to make the reading valid.

Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF barcodes into one file, known as
Macro PDF417 or Macro MicroPDF417.
Transmit/Decode Mode
Decide how to handle Macro PDF decoding.
Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When
Complete
Transmit all decoded data from an entire Macro PDF
sequence only when the entire sequence is scanned and
decoded. If the decoded data exceeds the limit of 50
symbols, no transmission because the entire sequence
was not scanned!
Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order
Transmit data from each Macro PDF symbol as decoded,
regardless of the sequence.
Passthrough All Symbols
Transmit and decode all Macro PDF symbols and
perform no processing. In this mode, the host is
responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF
sequences.
Passthrough
All Symbols
ESC Characters When enabled, it uses the backslash "\" as an Escape
character for systems that can process transmissions
containing special data sequences. It will format special
data according to the Global Label Identifier (GLI)
protocol, which only affects the data portion of a Macro
PDF symbol transmission. The Control Header, if enabled,
is always sent with GLI formatting.

Reference Manual
Note: When printing barcodes, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each has a
unique identifier. Do not mix barcodes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if
they encode the same data. When you scan Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire
Macro PDF sequence without interruption!
Image Capture Disable
Image Capture
Illumination Decide whether to flash illumination on every image
capture to aid decoding.
Turn On (Internal LED )
Turn Off
On
Image Capture
Autoexposure Decide whether to manually specify the gain and exposure
time (only recommended for advanced users with difficult
image capture situations).
On
Gain Time Only applies when Image Capture Autoexposure is
disabled.
Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data
before it is converted into 256 grayscale values.
Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast,
but also increases noise (undesired electrical
fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less
attractive and/or harder to decode.
Set the manual gain time in the range of 79~127.
100
Exposure Time Only applies when Image Capture Autoexposure is
disabled.
Exposure Time controls the amount of time the CCD is
allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for
a camera.
Generally, the brighter the environment, the
lower the exposure time. Increasing the exposure time
past 20 ms in a handheld application increases the risk
of blurring the image due to hand jitter.
Set the manual exposure time to one of the following
values — 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30
ms.
10 ms
Snapshot Aiming
Pattern Decide whether to project the aim pattern while capturing
an image. On
Image Resolution Decide how to alter image resolution before compression.
Multiple pixels are combined to one pixel, resulting in a
smaller image containing the original content with reduced
resolution.
640×480 (Full resolution)
320×240 (Half resolution)
212×160 (1/3 resolution)

Cancel the check box so that JPEG images are
optimized for size.
Enable
Select JPEG Quality Set a value from 5 to 100, where “100” represents the
highest quality image. 65
Select JPEG Size Set a value from 5 to 150, which represents the file size in
multiples of 1024 bytes (1K). For example, setting this
value to 8 permits the file size to be as large as 8192
bytes.
40
Bits per Pixel Select the number of significant bits per pixel (BPP) to use
when capturing an image.
1 bit per pixel (for black and white images)
4 BPP (to assign 1 of 16 levels of grey to each pixel)
8 BPP (to assign 1 of 256 levels of grey to each pixel)
8
Note: (1) For JPEG files, these BPP settings are ignored for it always uses 8 bits per pixel!
(2) When the image capture feature is enabled, press the [SCAN] button and it will
capture an image instead of reading a barcode.

pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it. However, the charging
time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the mobile computer
can work for up to 10 hours.
Backup Battery
The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is
removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.6 V/15 mAh rechargeable Lithium
button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in suspend
mode for at least 20 hours without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to
replace the main battery as soon as possible.
1.1.1 INSERTING THE BATTERY
When you first receive the package, the rechargeable functionality of the backup battery
is turned off. It is controlled by a DIP switch inside the battery compartment as shown
below.
For shipping and storage purposes, save the mobile computer and the main battery in
separate packages, and adjust the DIP switch to the OFF position (bottom). This will keep
both batteries in good condition for future use.
Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
1) Remove the hand strap.
2) Hold the mobile computer still. Press the battery cover latch and slide it to unlock the
battery cover.
3) Remove the battery cover.

4) Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment at a proper angle (30°~45°) so
that the metal contacts on the battery are met with the charging contacts inside the
compartment. Make sure that the battery is snugly fit into the compartment.
5) Put the battery cover back onto the mobile computer until it clicks into place.
6) If the battery is charged, the mobile computer turns on.
If the mobile computer does not turn on, charge the battery.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.

1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first
receive the package, you will need to charge batteries to full before using the mobile
computer.
Note: To charge the batteries to full, it requires approximately 8 hours for the first time.
After the initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the batteries to full.
Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the
initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and then
seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging. This will have both the main and
backup batteries charged at the same time. To charge the backup battery, make sure
that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to the ON position.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.
1.1.3 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS
The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also
charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be
retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to
replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all,
always save data before it is too late; you should backup important data on a regular
basis.
Double-tap a battery icon so that you can quickly access the [Power Properties] dialog
box.

The Reader Configuration Utility (93ReaderConfig.exe) allows configuring the
following reader types, depending on the module equipped on your mobile computer:
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
2D scan engine
RFID reader
Options of different reader combination are allowed, such as 1D+RFID and 2D+RFID. For
each combination, both readers can be initialized and ready for scanning at the same
time (dual mode operation). For example, if you press the [SCAN] button while running
the 93ReaderConfig utility on the mobile computer, it will read a barcode in position or an
RFID tag in proximity depending on which one comes first.
Note: (1) You cannot have 1D+2D scan engines installed on the mobile computer
because they are both barcode readers!
(2) You can run only one utility or application at a time to control the reader(s).
For example, while running 93ReaderConfig.exe, you should not run Application
Generator, STREAM Wireless Studio, MIRROR Browser, or any other application
that uses ReaderDLL.

Image Capture
Autoexposure Decide whether to manually specify the gain and exposure
time (only recommended for advanced users with difficult
image capture situations).
On
Gain Time Only applies when Image Capture Autoexposure is
disabled.
Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data
before it is converted into 256 grayscale values.
Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast,
but also increases noise (undesired electrical
fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less
attractive and/or harder to decode.
Set the manual gain time in the range of 79~127.
100
Exposure Time Only applies when Image Capture Autoexposure is
disabled.
Exposure Time controls the amount of time the CCD is
allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for
a camera.
Generally, the brighter the environment, the
lower the exposure time. Increasing the exposure time
past 20 ms in a handheld application increases the risk
of blurring the image due to hand jitter.
Set the manual exposure time to one of the following
values — 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30
ms.
