staff device
This section of the documentation covers the hardware aspects of the Prada Staff Device in the
form of a standard platform for Prada’s in-store sales tool.
It is intended for use initially as guidance for Prada’s software implementation partner.
In the longer term, it is designed to be a source of reference for the in-store Prada IT support
team.

The display shows the user interface. To
6 external features
enable the display, switch the device on
using the power switch mentioned above.
If the display becomes dim (the backlight
has switched off), tap on the screen once
to re-enable the backlight.
Stylus and stylus retaining slot
The stylus is stored in the slot at the base
of the device. It can be removed and used
for more precise interaction with the touch
screen display.
Reset hole
The small hole at the base of the device is
for resetting the device, should a serious
error occur. This will re-boot the processor
unit, but will not remove data or
applications from the device.
staff_device_documentation_11.qxd 26/11/2001 11:21 Page 7
At the front of the device, there is a
translucent rubber end section. Within this
section are a number of clear transmission
points:
Charging lamp
When the device is docked in its charging
unit (see later), this blue lamp flashes to
indicate charging is in progress. When the
lamp is constantly on, then charging is
complete.
If this lamp flashes during normal use, it is
a warning that the batteries need to be
charged.
Laser beam
Within the central cluster is the laser beam
transmission hole. The light from the laser
beam comes out of this point. Avoid
looking into this hole with the laser beam
activated. It is wise not to look into this
hole at any time as it might be possible to
accidentally press the laser beam button.
Infra-red port
the infra-red port is used to communicate
with the device from a desktop PC. this
may be needed when loading new
software onto the device when first use.
There is also another hole within the
central cluster that is not currently used.

It is not envisaged that the staff device will
be opened by staff, however it may be
considered useful information to
understand the internal components that
create this product.
Inside the Prada staff device are a number
of standard electronic components, as well
as some custom made elements.
require.
The iPAQ and the expansion jacket
components have been removed from their
original casing so as to reduce overall
size.
Processor
The processor component is a Compaq
iPaq (model 3630) with 32MB RAM. This
is mounted inside the chassis.
The main battery is mounted inside the
chassis, providing power to the processor
and LCD screen.
LCD screen

expansion slot and battery power for the
network card.
The networking is provided by a wireless
network card.
Laser unit
The laser pointer is a 1 mW Class II laser
diode module.
The switch for the laser is located on the
side of the case. This is a push to make
switch. The laser will only operate whilst
this switch is pressed.

IMPORTANT: Laser Information
The laser pointer built into the staff device
uses a Class II laser component.
Class II lasers emit visible laser light with
power levels less than 1 mW radiant
power and are capable of creating eye
damage through chronic exposure.
The human eye blink reflex, which occurs
within 0.25 seconds of exposure to the
Class II laser beam, normally provides
adequate protection.
It is possible however to overcome the
blink response and stare into the Class II
laser long enough to damage the eye.
Young children, especially babies may not
have the responses to look away from the
beam..
Exposure to a couple of seconds of the
laser beam will cause only temporary
"spots" in front of the eyes, but should still
be avoided. The power is great enough to
damage the eye if someone stares directly
into the beam for long enough.
Class II lasers are exempt from any formal
control measures, but common sense
precautions should be taken whenever the
device is used.
It is essential that all staff using this
device are trained on the safe use of
the laser function.
10 laser pointer
To minimize risk of direct eye exposure,
staff using this device should exercise
these precautions:
* Do not look intentionally into the laser
beam or at a specular reflection,
regardless of its power.
* Never point the laser at another member
of staff or public, especially at their eyes.
* Avoid pointing the laser at glass or other
reflective surfaces where the beam could
accidentally reflect into someone’s eyes.
* When the laser is on, ensure you can
see where the light spot terminates its
path.
* Do not wave the device around with the
laser on.
* Never leave the staff device unattended
where a member of public could use it.
The staff device carries a laser warning
label. Should this become damaged,
unreadable or is removed, it should be
replaced.
NOTE: The laser component uses the
same battery power supply as the RF tag
reader component. With extended use, this
may reduce the amount of power and time
staff_device_documentation_11.qxd 26/11/2001 11:21 Page 11
This section covers installation of software
components onto the Staff Device.
Although some components such as
network drivers will be pre-installed before
shipment.
The notes contained here are appropriate
for dealing with small quantities of devices.
However, a more structured installation
process may be needed for larger
quantities.
Should the network driver and other
components need to be re-installed due to
total power loss or other major failure, then
the following steps can be taken to reinstall the necessary driver.
When the Staff Device was first shipped,
the network driver for the wireless LAN
card was already installed. This was done
in order to functionally test the networking
hardware.
NOTE: The specific settings required for
the intended environment may however
need to be configured to work with the
environment’s networking architecture.
With a network driver installed and
configured correctly, it would be possible to
complete all further software installation via
the network. However, it may be preferred
to complete the installation via the infra-red
port.
Connecting to a desktop PC
Ensure that Microsoft Activesync (v3.5) is
installed and working correctly on the
desktop PC.
Ensure that an active Infra-red port is
available and that the Connection Settings
use the Infra-red port as default.
Switch on the Staff device.
Use the stylus to navigate to
‘Start:Programs:Connections’ and tap on
‘IR ActiveSync’.
Point to front of the Staff device at the
Infra-red port on the desktop PC.
When prompted, connect as ‘Guest’. It will
not be necessary to set up partnerships
with every device. It is also likely that the
device will only need to be synchronized
this one time for download of application
data and drivers.
Network Card Driver
The WL110 network card requires drivers
in order to operate.
Install the drivers by running the installer
application on the desktop PC, ‘setup.exe’.
The configuration of the network card
drivers needs to be done, but this can wait
until all other installations are complete.
This will cover the basic components as
delivered, but other components will be
required before the device is shipped to
the end user.
Flash
If Flash is required for the final client
application, then now is the time to install
the Flash Player component.
Run the installer application on the
desktop PC ‘FlashPlayer4DR-SAInstaller.exe’.
If this is not the first time this installer has
been run, the first time it will ask if you
wish to remove all components. This is
OK. Run the installer a second time and
the components will be installed.
Client application
The client application should be installed.
Disconnect device
Disconnect the device from the PC.
Adjust network settings, other unique
settings, and reset the device.
Launch the client application.

This section is not intended to be a
complete problem solver, as many
problems amy be associated with the client
software, network settings, user
understanding, and so on, but aims to give
direction to some of the more common
problems that might be encountered during
normal operational use.
My Staff Device will not switch on
The most common reason for this is lack
of power. Once the iPAQ’s internal
batteries have become drained, the unit
will fail to switch on. There should still be a
small amount of power left inside, to keep
the data stored on the device safe, but it
will not switch on.
To resolve this problem, place the device
into its charging station and leave until fully
re-charged. This will normally take about 4
hours.
If the staff device will not switch on, do not
attempt to reset the device using the reset
switch. This may drain the batteries to
such a low level that data loss may occur.
The blue charging lamp is flashing
slowly, but it is not in the charger.
This is a warning that the battery power to
the RF reader and the laser needs to be
charged. Put the device in the charging
station and leave until fully re-charged
The backlight goes off
The backlight is normally configured so
that it will go off after a period of no user
interaction. To restore the backlight, tap
the screen. The time taken for the
backlight to automatically go off is
determined by the settings in the operating
system.
If the backlight will not come on, the
battery probably needs charging. Put the
20 troubleshooting
device in the charging station and leave
until fully re-charged
The devices switches off
The device is normally configured so that it
will switch off after a period of no user
interaction. To switch the device back on,
press the power button once. The time
taken for the backlight to automatically go
off is determined by the settings in the
operating system.
If the device continues to switch off shortly
after switching on, then the battery needs
to be charged. replace the device in the
charging trolley and fully re-charge.
The device is working but it will not
scan any garment tags
This can happen if the battery for the laser
component and the RF unit has become
drained through use. The device needs to
be charged before use to ensure all
batteries are fully re-charged.
The device has no applications or
networking software
The main battery may have become
completely drained. The device will need
to be re-configured by the IT support team
When I touch the screen, it doesn’t
seem to select the right functions
It is possible that over time, or due to
extreme temperature conditions, the touch
screen calibration could have lost its
accuracy.
To solve this, the screen needs to be recalibrated. This can be done by using the
WindowsCE built-in system tools.
Select Start:Settings:System:Align Screen
and following the on-screen instructions.
My device seems to have completely
frozen
It is possible that the device can crash due
to some system or client software error. To
reset the device, use the special tool
provided to reset the device. Insert the tool
into the small hole at the bottom of the
device and the operating system will re-

boot. This will take a few seconds.
After a re-boot, it will be necessary to
restart the client application.
contacts are dirty.
Check that the charging contacts are clean
on the device.
I’ve dropped my device into some water
Wipe the device dry as much as possible.
with tissues. Allow to dry thoroughly for at
least 24 hours before switching on. Do not
force dry with any heating device.
My device has become dirty
The staff device (including the screen) can
be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small
drop of mild detergent. Wipe the device
gently with the cloth and dry afterwards
using a tissue. Do not immerse into water
or other liquids.
I looked into the laser beam and now I
see spots before my eyes
The spots should gradually disappear as
your eyes regain their normal use.
If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Do not stare into the laser beam.
My staff device is missing
If the device was switched on, there may
be a security risk.
There is also a risk that a child could
misuse the laser.
Inform the store IT manager and security.
None of the staff devices seem to be
charging
Check that the power supply to the
charging station is plugged into the 110v
power outlet.
Check that the fuse to the charging station
has not blown.
Some of the staff devices have steady
blue lamps when charging, some are
flashing
This is normal. Some devices will reach
the fully charged point before others,
depending on how discharged they were to
start with.
One of the staff devices will not charge
Try a different charging slot in case the
