Customer’s use of the Software shall also be limited, as applicable and set forth in Customer’s purchase order or in
Datalogic’s product catalog, user documentation, or web site, to a maximum number of (a) seats (i.e. users with access
to the installed Software), (b) concurrent users, sessions, ports, and/or issued and outstanding IP addresses, and/or (c)
central processing unit cycles or instructions per second. Customer’s use of the Software shall also be limited by any
other restrictions set forth in Customer’s purchase order or in Datalogic’s product catalog, user documentation or web site
for the Software.
2. General Limitations. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and
Customer specifically agrees not to (i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person, or use the Software
on unauthorized or secondhand Datalogic equipment, and any such attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense shall be void;
(ii) correct errors to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software, or to permit
third parties to do the same; or (iii) decompile, decrypt, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to
human-readable form to gain access to trade secrets or confidential information in the Software. To the extent required by law,
at Customer's request, Datalogic shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability
between the Software and another independently created program, upon payment of Datalogic's applicable fee. Customer shall
observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information.
3. Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Software” shall include (and the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall apply to) any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified versions (collectively, “Upgrades”) or backup copies
of the Software licensed or provided to Customer by Datalogic or an authorized distributor for which Customer has paid the
applicable license fees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (1) customer has no license or right to use any
such additional copies or upgrades unless customer, at the time of acquiring such copy or upgrade, already holds a valid license
to the original Software and has paid the applicable fee for the upgrade, if required; (2) use of upgrades is limited to Datalogic
equipment for which customer is the original end user, purchaser or lessee or who otherwise holds a valid license to use the
Software which is being upgraded; and (3) use of additional copies is limited to backup purposes only.
4. Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in
any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the
Software. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or duplicates or any Software
without the prior written permission of Datalogic. Customer may make such backup copies of the Software as may be necessary
for Customer’s lawful use, provided Customer affixes to such copies all copyright, confidentiality, and proprietary notices that
appear on the original.
5. Protection of Information. Customer agrees that aspects of the Software and associated documentation, including the
specific design and structure of individual programs, constitute trade secrets and/or copyrighted material of Datalogic. Customer
shall not disclose, provide, or otherwise make available such trade secrets or copyrighted material in any form to any third party
without the prior written consent of Datalogic. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade
secrets and copyrighted material. Software and documentation shall remain solely property of Datalogic.
vi
6. Limited Warranty. If Customer obtained the Software directly from Datalogic, then Datalogic warrants that during the
Warranty Period (as defined below): (i) the media on which the Software is furnished will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use; and (ii) the Software will substantially conform to its published specifications. The “Warranty
Period” means a period beginning on the date of Customer’s receipt of the Software and ending on the later of (a) ninety (90)
days from the date of initial shipment of the Software by Datalogic, or (b) the end of the minimum period required by the law of
the applicable jurisdiction. The limited warranties extend only to Customer as the original licensee. Customer's sole and
exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Datalogic and its suppliers under these limited warranties will be, at Datalogic’s sole
option, repair or replacement of the Software if reported (or, upon request, returned) to Datalogic. Except as expressly granted
in this Agreement, the Software is provided AS IS and with all faults. Datalogic does not warrant that the Software is error free
or that Customer will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual
development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Datalogic does not warrant that the Software or any
equipment, system or network on which the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack. This warranty
does not apply if the Software (a) is licensed for beta, evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes for which Datalogic does
not receive a license fee, (b) has been altered, except by Datalogic, (c) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained
in accordance with instructions supplied by Datalogic, (d) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse,
negligence, or accident, or (e) is used in ultra hazardous activities. If Customer obtained the Software from a Datalogic reseller,
the terms of any warranty shall be as provided by such distributor, and Datalogic provides Customer no warranty with respect to
such Software. The Software may contain support for programs written in Java. Java technology is not fault tolerant and is not
designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as online control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe
performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct
life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of Java technology could lead directly to death, personal injury,
or severe physical or environmental damage. Microsoft Inc. has contractually obligated Datalogic to make this disclaimer.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as specified in this warranty, all expressed or implied conditions, representations, and
warranties including, without limitation, any implied warranty or condition of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-
infringement, satisfactory quality or arising from a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice, are hereby excluded to the extent
allowed by applicable law. To the extent that an implied warranty cannot be excluded, such warranty is limited in duration to the
warranty period.
8. Disclaimer of Liabilities. In no event will Datalogic or its suppliers be liable for any lost revenue, profit, or data, or for
special, indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages however caused and arising out of the use of or inability to use
the Software even if Datalogic has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Datalogic or its suppliers'
liability to customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the price paid by customer. The
foregoing limitations shall apply even if the above-stated warranty fails of its essential purpose.
9. Term and Termination. This Agreement is effective until terminated. Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time by
destroying all copies of Software including any documentation. Customer’s license rights under this Agreement will terminate
immediately without notice from Datalogic if Customer fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Upon termination,
Customer must destroy all copies of Software in its possession or control.
10. Customer Records. Customer grants to Datalogic and its independent accountants the right to examine Customer’s books,
records and accounts during Customer’s normal business hours to verify compliance with this Agreement. In the event such
audit discloses non-compliance with this Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Datalogic the appropriate license fees.
11. General Provisions. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Italy. All disputes
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent Court of the
place where Datalogic has its registered office. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the license of the Software and supercedes any conflicting
or additional terms contained in the purchase order.

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”!

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.

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
