INTRODUCTION 1 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ DESCRIPTION Datalogic Skorpio™ is a rugged mobile computer particularly suitable for mobile commerce solutions in the retail environment, both on store shelves and in the stock room. Thanks to one of the best ergonomics ever seen on the market, Datalogic Skorpio™ reduces operator fatigue with no compromise in terms of reliability and robustness, resisting harsh environments, multiple drops, strong shocks and repetitive tumbles. Datalogic Skorpio™ offers the unique feature of integrated data capture technology combined with “green spot” feedback (Datalogic patent), providing a ”good read” green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking. Datalogic Skorpio™ system architecture is based on the Intel X-Scale PXA-270 series processors coupled with the Windows CE 5.0 operating system. It is ready to satisfy the most demanding customer needs (i.e. expandable memory thanks to the Mini Secure Digital standard slot). Its wireless communication capabilities (Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi) enable fast transactions and complete interaction with the information system, as well as wearable peripherals, while its long lasting Li-ION batteries grant full shift coverage in terms of autonomy. Furthermore, its large high visibility color graphic display with touch screen helps users work more efficiently, while the practical 38-key “alpha & numeric” keypad allows data, codes and descriptions to be input very quickly. Datalogic Skorpio™ is able to fulfill 100% of traditional text-based applications (i.e. terminal emulation, through the DL-TCL-NET™ software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions (i.e. exploiting Microsoft Internet Explorer through the DL Locked-Web-Browser application). Developers can create and deploy single or multiple data collection applications rapidly exploiting the MCL Collection, while IT managers can centralize the management of mobile devices revising configurations, synchronizing software and updating firmware and drivers remotely and seamlessly thanks to the Wavelink Avalanche software. Datalogic Skorpio™ offers retailers the best mobile commerce solution to gain the greatest benefit in the least time for those “selling and serving on the move”!

USE AND FUNCTIONING 13 3 3 USE AND FUNCTIONING The use of the Datalogic Skorpio™ depends on the application software loaded. However there are several parameters that can be set and utilities that can be used to perform some basic functions such as data capture, communications, file management, etc. 3.1 STARTUP The Datalogic Skorpio™ turns on when the battery pack or the external supply is inserted. After the battery pack is installed, use the [ON/OFF] key to turn the mobile computer on and off. As soon as the mobile computer is on, the Windows CE desktop configuration will appear on the screen. Wait a few seconds before starting any activity so that the mobile computer completes its startup procedure. Use the stylus as suggested in paragraph 3.2 to select icons and options.
DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ 14 3 The mobile computer goes into power-off (low power with display backlight off), when it is no longer used for more than a programmable timeout, which is defined in the POWER applet of the Control Panel. In this mode it can be awakened (resuming operation) by the [ON/OFF] key or SCAN key if enabled (see par. 3.7.1). NOTE The mobile computer can also be awakened or turned off by the application program. 3.2 USING THE STYLUS The stylus selects items and enters information. The stylus functions like a mouse. Tap: Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select options. Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to select text and images. Drag in a list to select multiple items. Tap-and-hold: Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform. The stylus is factory aligned; however, it is possible to align the cursor on the screen with the tip of the stylus. Enter the STYLUS applet of the Control Panel and tap the center of each target that appears on the screen with the tip of the stylus.
