Note: For initial charging, it takes approximately 8 hours to fully charge the main battery.
After the initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the main battery to full.
9600 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
Warning:
It is recommended that the charging devices be operated at room
temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance. The charging devices
will not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds 40°C.
Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the
initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the TERMINAL and then connecting
the TERMINAL for direct charging or via cradle. This will have both the main and backup
batteries charged at the same time. It takes at least 48 hours to fully charge the backup
battery. However, it is not necessary to fully charge the backup battery for the TERMINAL
to work.
Note: (1) To charge the backup battery, make sure that you slide the DIP switch inside
the battery compartment to the ON position.
(2) In order to charge the backup battery to full, you must insert the main battery
and leave it for at least 48 hours, whether the TERMINAL is in use or not.
USING WIRELESS NETWORKS
The TERMINAL supports state-of-the-art wireless technologies, Bluetooth and 802.11b/g,
so that it is able to send/receive data in real time in an efficient way. You may choose to
have the
GPRS module embedded for a total wireless solution for data and voice
communications. Refer to the associated utilities.
USING CABLE
1) Connect the USB charging & communication cable.
Note: Tighten the two screw-in connectors to secure the cable.
2) Join the power supply cord to the power receptacle on the cable connector.

1.1 BATTERY
Main Battery
9600 TERMINAL 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 TERMINAL 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 3.7 V/80 mAh rechargeable Lithium
button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in suspend
mode for at least 24 hours without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to
replace the main battery as soon as possible.
Warning:
The battery cover must be in position; otherwise, the TERMINAL cannot
turn on. 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.

1.1.1 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS
The battery pack is the only power source for the TERMINAL 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, you should
backup important data on a regular basis.
By looking at the battery icon, you can tell battery charge remaining in the main
battery – the higher the green level, the more power in the main battery. Double-tap a
battery icon so that you can quickly access the [Power Properties] dialog box.

Software Reset: Simply press the [Reset] button.
Hardware Reset: Press the [Reset] button and
Warning:
at the same time.
Never perform hardware reset unless software reset cannot solve your
problems.
2.5.1 SOFTWARE RESET (WARM REBOOT)
Software reset, also known as a warm boot, will restart the TERMINAL and keep all the
saved files. To perform software reset, use the stylus to press the [Reset] button.
During operation, the removal of main battery will start software reset too.
Warning:
Data loss may occur when files are not properly closed before software
reset.
2.5.2 HARDWARE RESET (COLD REBOOT)
Hardware reset, also known as a cold boot, will restart the TERMINAL too. However, it
performs a full restore of the TERMINAL to its factory settings and initializes SDRAM. To
perform hardware reset, press
and [Reset] button at the same time. Data and
program files stored in SDRAM will be erased after hardware reset. But you can restore
data that is previously synchronized with your computer by performing an ActiveSync
operation, or backed up by using CipherLab Backup Utility.
Warning:
Only the files stored in the Flash File System are retained during hardware
reset.
2.6 AUTO RUN
Upon hardware or software reset, the OS shall automatically execute AutoRun.exe
and/or AutoRun.ini if any of the two files can be found in the “\DiskOnChip” folder or on
microSD card.
If AutoRun.exe exists
Upon cold boot, the OS shall automatically execute AutoRun.exe
Upon warm boot, the OS shall automatically execute AutoRun.exe
If AutoRun.ini exists
Upon cold boot, the OS shall automatically check the contents of AutoRun.ini and execute
them (if there is any).
43
9600 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
Any line prefixed with a semicolon “;” is supposed to be a comment line only; otherwise it is
an executable file or command and shall be executed (line by line). The line to execute a
cabinet file (.cab) must be specified with two dots “. .” for the absolute path. For example,
\DiskOnChip\cerdisp.exe
:\DiskOnChip\ReaderConfig.exe
;\DiskOnChip\RF9600_CE.exe
..\DiskOnChip\cerdisp.cab
:..\DiskOnChip\ReaderConfig.cab
Upon warm boot, the OS shall automatically check the contents of AutoRun.ini and execute
any line that is prefixed with a colon “:”.
Any line prefixed with a semicolon “;” is supposed to be a comment line only. The line to
execute a cabinet file (.cab) must be specified with a colon “:”, followed by two dots “. .” for
the absolute path. For example,
:\DiskOnChip\ReaderConfig.exe
;\DiskOnChip\RF9600_CE.exe
:..\DiskOnChip\ReaderConfig.cab
Note: Because the cabinet files are designed to install the application, tidy up, and then
“self destruct”, they will be automatically deleted from your TERMINAL after
installation. However, AutoRun.ini will backup the original files (.cab) while
installing cabinet files, and restore them after installation. Consequently, these
cabinet files will be automatically re-installed to your TERMINAL upon cold boot or
warm boot, if specified in AutoRun.ini.

CONFIGURING 9600 TERMINAL
In this chapter, a brief on the system settings is provided for your reference. The
Application Manager is specifically designed for the administrator to manage the
accessibility of applications and protect the integrity of the system on the TERMINAL. It
serves as a portal that allows launching routine application programs automatically upon
a reboot, preventing users from running potentially distracting applications, as well as to
restricting access to changing device settings.
Note: User settings are stored in SDRAM and will be overwritten by the system defaults
after hardware reset. However, you can use the CipherLab Backup Utility to
backup the current registry for restore purpose.

factory setting and become the default PIN code. If you fail two times, the PIN will
be blocked, and you will need to obtain the PUK code from your network operator
and unblock the SIM card on your cellular phone.

7.3 RFID READER SETTINGS
If the RFID scan engine is present, configurable options will be displayed.
Note: Because it is possible to read barcode and RFID tag at the same time, it is
recommended that only one scan engine is enabled at a time to prevent from
misreading.

Some RFID tags support both read/write operations, on a page-by-page basis. You may
find it necessary to define your own read/write operation. For reference only, the table
below lists the start page for read/write operation on a number of RFID tags.

Note: Please refer to the specifications of your RFID tags for memory organization.
7.3.1 READ OPERATION
By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default
page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify how
many bytes of data you want to read from the tag.
Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure that
the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select
the check box of [Display hex values] first.
7.3.2 WRITE OPERATION
Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the tag
from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number
of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will automatically be
truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it comes to the end of pages
available.
Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use.
The string will be displayed as “user data”. If you wish to write the string to a non-user
block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values] first.
Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, the string length must be even.
For example, if you want to write 0x0A, 0x0B and 0x00 to a tag, the string you input
must be “0A0B00” instead of “AB0”.
