2. BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is to charge them. See below. NOTE By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance. CAUTION 1.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc. NOTE The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low. It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply directly to the Lynx. Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger. Moreover recharging is possible by USB Direct connection with the host computer, but with longer charging times and only if the PDA is off. During the charging process the LED positioned at the left side of the display is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant (see par. 오류! 참조 원본을 찾을 수 없습니다.). If the battery pack is removed from the PDA, it can be recharged by inserting it into the rear slot of the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger.

It’s recommended to charge batteries before first use. NOTE Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrective type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. CAUTION Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre au rebut les batteris usagées conformément aux instructions. CAUTION Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very low charge. We recommend charging the battery pack every two to three months to keep its charge at a moderate level to maximize battery life. CAUTION Even if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF). Extended batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0° to +45°C (+32° to +113°F). Standard batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0° to +45°C (+32° to +113°F). NOTE The battery level may display incorrectly for several minutes after the Lynx is disconnected from its charger if the charging cycle is not completed. NOTE

The Lynx could get warm during charging, this is normal and does not mean a malfunction. NOTE Use only a USB-IF compliant USB port as a charging source. NOTE

1.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK To correctly replace the battery pack, proceed as follows. 1. Turn off the Lynx. 2. Shift the battery latch to the left and remove the battery pack: 3. Install the new battery pack, first insert the bottom (contacts) and then the upper side of the battery pack into the slot. Press until the battery latch clicks.

1.8.4 FAQ and Troubleshooting 1. Can I install to a storage card? Yes – however, as with most mobile apps installing to the device is recommended. 2. What does registering XPS as my default GPS do? Registering XPS simply sets the Windows Mobile OS to use XPS whenever an application asks for positioning. If you choose not to set XPS as the default, you will need to select the XPS COM port manually when configuring an application. 3. What happens if I uninstall or deactivate XPS? XPS will reset your system settings to what they were prior to install. 4. I’ve installed but cannot get location, what is wrong? There are several things that could cause this to happen:  Do you have an internet connection? An internet connection is required after install for XPS to complete setup. An internet connection is also needed if you are moving (this connection will be present if you have data service).  Do you have wi-fi disabled? Enable wi-fi and try again.  Are you in an area with low numbers of access points? The WPS portion of XPS requires wireless routers to be in scanning range to provide positioning. 5. I’ve installed XPS but it will not run, what happened? If you installed to a storage card, that card must be present in the device for XPS to function (installing to the device is the recommended configuration). 6. My app is not providing location? Verify that XPS is activated in the XPS Settings ‘Service’ tab and that your app has the XPS port selected within your application’s settings panel. 7. My XPS settings are not being saved? You must tap the ‘Apply’ button before exiting the tab in XPS Settings.

1.11 SUSPEND MANAGEMENT Suspend Management allows the user to keep device features powered while the device is off. The features managed by this feature are: Cellular Data/Voice and GPS. The WiFi driver has been measured to consume about 50 µA when left powered. As a result, WiFi will always be left powered during suspend. This has the positive effect of substantially reducing the time required for WiFi to fully resume when the device is powered back on. NOTE Normally, the device features will behave the same as today. This means when the device is powered off, certain features (such as cellular communications) will remain powered if enabled prior to the device powering off. The behavior of each feature left powered during suspend is as follows:  Power is not removed from the feature.  It can act as a wakeup source for the CPU. When the CPU wakes up, the device continues to appear "off", but the device driver on the CPU can interact with the feature.  Depending on what activity takes place, any feature can optionally decide to change the system power state from Suspend to On. This would appear to the user as a wakeup event. When the user powers off the device by pressing the power key, the behavior begins similar to today:  The user is required to press the power key for at least 500 ms.  After this much time, the red suspend LED turns on to provide user feedback that the power key has been recognized. If the user releases the power key in the next 1.5 seconds, the system completes the shutdown of the CPU and device features will remain powered. If instead the user continues to hold down the power key for a total of at least two seconds, then the following pop-up dialog will be displayed:

The user is given five seconds to respond. If the user selects "Yes", then the device and all features are powered off. If the user selects "No", or does not respond within five seconds, the device will power off, but leave features as they were. The term "device off" here refers to a condition where the display is off and the device appears unpowered. The device CPU may in fact be powered on. In this condition the power consumption can be relevant and battery can be completely discharged in some hours.

1.12 DATALOGIC DESKTOP UTILITY Datalogic Desktop Utility (DDU) allows Datalogic Windows administrators to configure Windows CE and Embedded Handheld devices to control individual user access. This includes: • Prevent users from changing your device OS settings. • Use Application Selector to replace desktop with a selection of authorized applications. • Internet Explorer access restriction, configuration and customized error recovery mechanisms. • Create quick access hot keys and configure trigger actions. To open the DDU for the first time, tap Start > Settings > System > Datalogic Desktop Utility or Start > Device tools > Datalogic Desktop Utility. You can also get into DDU by pressing Alt-6.

For example, meta tags provide information such as what program was used to create the page, a description of the page, and keywords that are relevant to the page. As per the HTML specification, all meta-tags must be contained within a <head> … </head> tag set. Also, the head tag set must be complete within the first 15K of the web page. The Datalogic WebAppLock defines some special meta-tags that allows the web application to interact with the device: In particular, the special meta-tags allow to: - enable/disable the scan engine triggers - enable/disable specific codes groups in the scan engine - easily handle the keys pressing The trigger, decoding and DL_Keys meta tags stay in scope beyond the page they are defined in until a later page changes them. Trigger Meta-tag DL_Triggers – “Enable” or “Disable” all triggers If the page contains this tag, the triggers are enable or disable depending on the “content=” value. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_Triggers" content="Disable">

CGI Error Meta-tag DL_CGIError – Overrides DDU error page redirection and replaces it with a reference to a CGI script which is passed the error number as an argument. Content – A CGI URL with variable name argument in place. The name of both the CGI function and the error number variable is completely configurable by the user. Do not put an ‘=’ at end of the URL. HTTP header error numbers are returned if they are greater than or equal to 300. For example, ‘404’ is returned if object is not found on the server. In addition the following WebAppLock specific error numbers are returned: Error Number Error Condition 1000 WiFi is disconnected 2000 Failed to open internet connection with WiFi 3000 Failed to connect to server 4000 Failed to open page on server 5000 Failed to send query to page on server 6000 Failed to receive query from page on server 7000 Failed to find file on device Warning: Error redirection from the WebAppLock tab in DDU will be ignored if a page has this meta-tag defined. Example: <meta http-equiv=”DL_CGIError” content=”http://www.SOMEWHERE.org/cgi-bin/errorpage.plx?errornum"> In the event of a 404 error (object not found on the server), WebAppLock will navigate to the following URL: http://www.SOMEWHERE.org/cgi-bin/errorpage.plx?errornum=404

GetSerialNumber Meta-tag DL_GetSerialNumber – Obtains the device serial number and sends it as an argument to a customer’s javascript function. Content – name of function to pass serial number to. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_GetSerialNumber" content="Javascript:CustomerFunction"> When this page is loaded the specified javascript function with the device serial number as the only argument (such as CustomerFunction(‘D10P00031’). OnPowerResume Meta-tag DL_OnPowerResume – Invokes the specified javascript function upon power resumption on the device. Content – The URL to the JavaScript function to be called upon resume. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_OnPowerResume" content="Javascript:PowerUp()"> Reboot – Warm boot device Meta-tag DL_Reboot – Warm boot device. Content – “OnPageLoad” – Warm boot immediately upon page load. In future might have more content options. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_Reboot" content=" OnPageLoad "> Exit Meta-tag DL_Exit – Exit WebAppLock. Content – “OnPageLoad” – Exit immediately upon page load. In future might have more content options. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_ Exit " content=" OnPageLoad ">

Decoding meta-tags: Each decoding meta-tag has a possible content of “Enable” or “Disable”. The settings are valid for the entire page (enable/disable each symbology). DL_Code_39 DL_Code_128 DL_Code_I25 DL_Code_S25 DL_Code_M25 DL_Code_CODABAR DL_Code_93 DL_Code_UPCA DL_Code_UPCE DL_Code_EAN13 DL_Code_EAN8 DL_Code_MSI DL_Code_MSR DL_Code_GS1_14 DL_Code_GS1_LIMIT DL_Code_GS1_EXP DL_Code_16K DL_Code_49 DL_Code_PDF417 DL_Code_DATAMATRIX DL_Code_MAXICODE DL_Code_TRIOPTIC DL_Code_PHARMA39 DL_Code_RFID DL_Code_MICROPDF417 DL_Code_COMPOSITE DL_Code_QRCODE DL_Code_AZTEC DL_Code_POSTAL Some examples: <meta http-equiv="DL_Code_39" content="Disable"> <meta http-equiv="DL_Code_I25" content="Enable">

Key press Metatags The key press meta-tags can be used to call JavaScript functions. They have the name structure: “DL_Key_xxx” where xxx is the VKey code. Example: <meta http-equiv="DL_Key_13" content="Javascript:CheckEnter();"> If one of this tag is present, the pressure of this key is handled at level of page, independently from the currently focused item. Refer to the Microsoft website to find the list of all the possible Vkey codes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa243025(VS.60).aspx The DL_Keys meta tag can exist past the page they are defined in, hence the existence of the DL_Clear meta-tag, that allows to clear all the settings and statuses. NOTE Scanning Metatags DL_Scan – Captures scan results and sends barcode/tag value to a javascript function on the web page. If the “content=” value is a javascript function the device will be taken out of keyboard wedge mode and start listening for scan events. A scanned barcode/tag result will be used as an argument to that javascript function which is then invoked. If the “content=” value is “Wedge” then the device will stop listening for scanned event and enter keyboard wedge mode. If the “content=” value is “Disable” then the device will stop listening for scanned events but not enter keyboard wedge mode. Example: <meta http-equiv=”DL_Scan” content=”Javascript:ValidateInput()”>

$1.15 AUTOSTART The AutoStart program provides three functions: - Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line arguments) to run automatically prior to loading CAB files. - Automatically reinstalls specified CAB files when the Lynx 10 is cold booted. - Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line arguments) to run automatically after loading CAB files. AutoStart launches each time the Lynx is rebooted executing each line with the specified command line arguments. It will take into account any AutoStart options at the beginning of the line. Upon a Cold Boot, AutoStart installs all the CAB files located in the \FlashDisk\CAB folder. If the CAB folder does not exist, no CAB files will be installed. AutoStart will then run the Autostart.ini from the \FlashDisk directory, executing each line with the specified command line arguments. It will take into account any AutoStart options at the beginning of the line. 1.15.1 Installing CAB files Copy any CAB files you want to install into the \FlashDisk\CAB folder. These CAB files will then be automatically in-stalled in alphabetical order the next time you start the device.$

$1.15.2 How AutoStart Uses Wceload If you intend to create highly interactive installers, you should either install the CABs manually or review the section on “Interactive CAB Install” in this chapter.. NOTE In certain environments, CAB files will be deleted after execution. To prevent the CAB file from being deleted, write protect the file before copying the file onto the device. CAUTION CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application. The following table shows available command line option: Option Description /noui Specifies that you will not be prompted for any input during the installation. If the CAB file is signed, any responses will automatically be answered ‘Yes.’ If the CAB is unsigned, then any responses will be answered ‘No.’ /silent Suppresses dialog boxes during the installation. Please refer to the Microsoft documentation on your device for further details on Wceload.exe. Sample: \Windows\Wceload.exe /delete 1 /noui /silent “\FlashDisk\CAB\<cab file>”$

$1.15.3 Interactive CAB Install  If the CAB installer requires user interaction that must be performed during the AutoStart CAB installation process, you can specify a special file name to disable the silent mode installation. If this mode is specified, the CAB file will be installed with Wceload without any command line arguments specified. An example of what AutoStart would execute is: \Windows\Wceload.exe <cab file> To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to include a ‘_’ character before the “.cab” extension of the file. Example: “File.cab” should be renamed “File_.cab” to force AutoStart to not install the CAB in silent mode. This specially-named CAB file should be placed in the AutoStart folder with other CAB files intended for installation on the next reboot. 1.15.4 Autostart.ini A file named ‘PreAuto.ini’ can also be created in addition to or instead of Autostart.ini. PreAuto.ini is executed before CAB files in the \FlashDisk\Cab folder are installed. Autostart.ini is executed after CAB files in the \FlashDisk\Cab folder are installed. The format for the PreAuto.ini is identical to that of Autostart.ini..” NOTE Autostart.ini is a text file that AutoStart will run upon startup of the Lynx, and after any CAB files are installed. This file should be placed in the \FlashDisk folder. AutoStart will run the Autostart.ini file on each reboot of the device. Line Formatting Each line of the Autostart.ini can consist of Autostart options, an executable, and any command line arguments. < Autostart option(s)> <full path to executable> <command line arguments> Sample: - \windows\pword.exe \file.doc$

$The following table breaks down the sample Autostart.ini line: Autostart option(s) Full path to executable Command line arguments - \windows\pword.exe \file.doc Spaces must be placed between each component of the line in the Autostart.ini. If the executable path is in a folder that contains spaces in the name, quotes are required to distinguish what the actual executable name is. The following is an example of this: “\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe” /run (valid) \Program Files\ScannerApp.exe /run (invalid) The second line is an invalid line because there is no way to distinguish the executable from the argument.$

AutoStart Options The table below shows options you can use when writing a line in the Autostart.ini file. Description Character Comments Comment: This line will not be executed. ‘#’ OR ‘ ‘ (space)This may only be used as the first character of the line. If the comment option is specified in the options elsewhere, it is ignored. Do not wait on line completion: This will cause the line to execute and immediately move onto the next line. ‘-’ Query: Request user confirmation when running the executable. ‘?’ This will halt parsing the Autostart.ini until the confirmation is answered. This is intended for debugging the Autostart.ini file. Execute only on Cold Reset ‘!’ Execute only after a warm boot % Cold Reset Only: This will cause the line to execute only after a Cold Reset. An empty line will be treated as a comment line. NOTE

$Combining Options Autostart options can be combined together as shown in the following sample: ?- \Windows\Pword.exe This line would:  Request confirmation before executing the line. The next line would not be processed before the confirmation is answered.  Run the next line without waiting on the current line to complete execution. Query Option The query option is intended for use when debugging the autostart.ini. When a line with this option is executed, the following dialog will appear with the specified executable and command line arguments. The populated fields shown in the AutoStart Execute Query are described the next table: Field Description Line Number This is the line number in the script being executed. Exe The executable as parsed by AutoStart. Args The argument as parsed by AutoStart.$

The fields may be broken up into multiple lines (as shown in the example) due to limited space in the dialog. NOTE AutoStart Query Options Parentheses are used to surround the given field and make it very clear what the value of the field is. The following table describes the results of each choice: Button Action Yes The current line will execute. No The current line will not execute. AutoStart will continue parsing the Autostart.ini. Cancel The current line will not execute and AutoStart will discontinue parsing the Autostart.ini.

$Autostart.ini Samples The next table is a collection of sample Autostart.ini lines: Line Description ? \windows\wceload.exe “\My Documents\Sample.cab” This will confirm the execution of \Windows\wceload.exe with specified argument “\My Documents\Sample.cab” \Program Files\App.exe (invalid) This will execute \Program with the argument Files\App.exe. \Program Files\App.exe /run (invalid) This will execute \Program with the argument Files\App.exe /run. “\Program Files\App.exe” /run This will execute the program \Program Files\App.exe with the argument /run. ?- \Windows\Pword.exe This will confirm the execution of \Windows\Pword.exe. If the execution is confirmed, AutoStart will immediately process the next line. !”\Program Files\App.exe” /run This will execute the program \Program Files\App.exe with the argument /run ONLY after a Cold Reset.$
