2.4. BATTERY
The mobile computer is fed by two batteries, main battery pack and backup battery. The
main battery is removable and replaceable from battery chamber while the backup battery
is mounted on the main board inside the mobile computer.
When the mobile computer is shipped, the main battery is stored in a package separated
from the mobile computer, which keeps it in good condition for future use.
MAIN BATTERY
The main battery is a Li-ion battery pack that comes in two sizes, a standard 3.7V/3600mAh
pack and an extended 3.7V/4400mAh pack. Both types will take around 4 hours to charge
to full. The working time of the mobile computer varies by its working states. Under normal
operation, it works for at least 12 hours. An icon on Title Bar helps monitor main battery
level. See Main Battery Level.
See also Main Battery Setup for the assembly.
BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery settles on the main board inside the mobile computer. It is a 15 mAh
rechargeable Li-ion battery. When main battery is absent or depleted, backup battery takes
over to feed the mobile computer. Without main battery, a fully charged backup battery
retains the data in the DRAM and holds the system in suspension for 30 minutes(as long as
wireless modules are inactive).
The backup battery is rechargeable by the external power (through power adapter) or main
battery pack. It takes about ˈ8 hours to charge it to full. An icon on the Title Bar makes
it observant that backup battery gets low. See also Backup Battery Level.
2.4.1. MAIN BATTERY SETUP
To secure main battery in place, the battery door is equipped with two latches, one on each
side.

1) Loosen the handstrap and pull it downwards so the metal hook is positioned at the lower
edge of the Velcro band
2) Unhook the hand strap by pressing the square metal ring lightly in the middle and lifting
it upwards in a single motion.
Note: The lower end of the handstrap can be left as is without detaching. After the main
battery is installed, the handstrap can be hooked back into place.
3) On the outer sides of the battery door are two door latches. Pull them outwards to
unlock battery door.
4) Lift up the lower end of the battery door to remove it.
5) Position the main battery pack into the battery chamber with the contact pins facing
down. Fix the bottom edge first.
6) Press the upper end of the main battery inwards until the clip at the top “clicks” into
place.
7) Replace the battery door. Fix the upper edge first and then press the lower edge in. Push
the door latches back to their original position.
8) Secure the handstrap hook back into its groove.
Note: (˄) When main battery level drops to low level, charge it ASAP or replace it with a
charged one.
(˅) Always turn off the mobile computer to replace the main battery pack.
(3) The battery door must be secured in place for the mobile computer to operate.
(4) Any improper handling may reduce battery life.

CP60 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
2.4.2. CHARGE BATTERIES
Due to shipment, it is likely that the main battery and backup battery won’t be fully charged
when you receive the package. Before setting the mobile computer to work, charge the
main battery to full by direct charging via a power adapter (with the help of a Snap-on
Charging & Communication Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle).
Since the main battery is the only source backup battery taps power from, be sure to install
main battery for the 1st charge so both main battery and backup battery get charged.
Some key facts about charging batteries:
Charging Time
Main battery: It takes circa 4 hours to charge main battery to full (via direct charging with
power adapter). The battery charging LED above the touchscreen (the one to the right) lights red
or orange during charging (depending on the battery level at the moment), and lights green
when mobile computer is near 100% charged.
Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by both main battery and power adapter.
It takes about 8 hours to charge it to full, however it does not need to be fully charged for the
mobile computer to work.
Charging Temperature
It is recommended that batteries be charged at room temperature (18°C~25°C) for optimal
performance.
Charging stops when temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 35°C. In this case the battery
charging LED will be continuously blinking in red.
Power Consumption
When all radios (802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, mobile data (HSPA+), GPS) are active on battery
power, main battery level drops substantially.
In order to prevent the system from shutting down due to depleted main battery, we suggest
that you keep a fully charged battery for replacement or have the mobile computer access the
radios on external power.
The following guides how to charge batteries.
DIRECT CHARGING USING SNAP-ON CABLE

2.6. TOUCH CONTROL
The mobile computer’s LCD is overlaid by a resistive touch panel and thus forms a resistive
touchscreen. Since a resistive touchscreen locates the user’s touch by the force applied on
it, by operating with the stylus one can apply minimum force to trigger actions from the
touchscreen.
Touch control is one of the main ways to interact with the mobile computer. Users are able
to manipulate icons, buttons, menu commands, the onscreen keyboard, or any onscreen
items with touch control.
2.6.1. USE TOUCHSCREEN
The mobile computer comes with a stylus. Touch-operate the mobile computer with the
stylus. Apply the gestures below to work on the touchscreen:
Tap – Touch any item on the screen such as an application icon or a setting icon to work
on them, or touch any key on the onscreen keyboard to type it.
Tap & hold – Touch an item on the screen and do not release until an action occurs.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without release, move the item
onscreen until you reach the target.
Flick – Quickly move your finger or stylus across the surface of the screen. Note when
the stylus contacts the screen, do not pause so you don’t drag an item instead. Flick is
helpful, for example, for scrolling up or down a list.
Double-tap – Touch quickly twice on a webpage or other screen to zoom. For example,
double-tap a section of a webpage in a web browser to zoom that section to fit the width
of the screen. Some applications such as map-info applications support picture zooming
with double-tap.

2.8. DIRECT DATA CONNECTION
“Direct” data connection means “hardwired” data connection between the mobile computer
and a Windows-based PC as opposed to wireless connection. Direct data connection relies
on a RS-232 cable or a USB cable (sometimes plus an auxiliary cradle) between the two
mentioned devices. Once the mobile computer and PC are “directly” connected with each
other by a RS-232 or USB-cable, they can sync data with each other.
2.8.1. USE CABLE
Direct data connection using a cable:
1) Connect the mobile computer to your PC with a USB or RS-232 type Snap-on Charging
and Communication Cable. Fix the cable to both sides.
ActiveSync will automatically detect connection between the two and prompt for data
synchronization.

the rule below:
O.S. Syncing Program
Windows Vista or Windows 7 WMDC
Windows XP SP3 and earlier
ActiveSync
ActiveSync and WMDC can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website. Download and install
the right one on your PC.
Hereafter in this manual, we will focus on ActiveSync only. For WMDC usage, see its
documentation or help file.
1.8.3. SYNC PARTNERSHIP
Once a direct connection is established between the mobile computer and your PC as
described in Use Cable or ᙑᎄ!ބլࠩᅃࠐᄭΖ, they are able to form the following ties:

The mobile computer is powered by Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, a member of
Windows Embedded family branded for full compatibility with Windows Mobile 6.5.
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 features a prettier UI and a series of fresh new looks
unseen in the predecessor Windows CE. The most important enhancement of all is those
touch-friendlier UI elements such as the inertial scrolling of lists and redesigned context
menus. These elements are offered throughout the platform and are particularly helpful for
mobile computing. Users rely only on a few basic gestures such as Tap or Flick to navigate
within the O.S.
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 also features a Today Screen. The Start Screen on ther
other hand lays out application icons in a staggered manner to maximize the space
available to touch each icon and increase icons allowed onscreen.
This chapter goes through the basics of the O.S. and guides to Today Screen and Start
Screen where all features on the mobile computer are accessible from.

4.6. LOCATION DISCOVERY
Adorned with a GPS module, the mobile computer is capable of finding your location on
earth. GPS relies on the satellites covering the sky around the world to pinpoint your
whereabouts.
A location-aware application is necessary, such as CipherLab’s GPS Viewer for NMEA-based
location discovery. There are other applications downloadable from Internet. Download
“.cab”-suffixed programs that confirm the compatibility with Windows Embedded Handheld
6.5. Note always download programs from trusted sources.
As GPS is a big power consumer, close GPS application when you are not using it.
4.6.1. LAUNCH GPS
The O.S. doesn’t feature any facility to turn on/off GPS module but a GPS intermediate
driver (hereinafter “GPSID”), a software layer between GPS hardware and GPS software to
stream GPS data from hardware to software without parsing NMEA syntax and in the
meanwhile enable multiple applications to simultaneously access GPS data.
Hence the approach to turn on GPS module is to launch a GPS software or a location-aware
application on the mobile computer because the software COM port for GPS is turned on
then. In case of any difficulty launching GPS, open Start screen | Settings | System |
External GPS | Access tabbed page to check if Manage GPS automatically is selected.
