Your particular keyboard may have an overlay that has additional keys other than those described in this section. Refer to your application operation manual for descriptions of those keys. The following descriptions cover both the 41-key and 51-key computers using a DOS/PC overlay. ENT (Enter) Key Two Enter keys are provided for the convenience of both left and right handed users. These keys are the same as an ¿ (Enter) key on a PC. You use them to enter data, or as a “Yes” response to display prompts. SCAN Key This key is used with an integrated scanner to read bar code labels. If your application does not use a scanner or if you are using an optional tethered scanner, you probably will not use this key. Pressing this key also resumes operation (awaken your hand-held computer) if it is in the suspend mode. Period [.] Key Use the period [.] key as a period or a decimal point. Minus [- ] Key Use the minus [--] key to enter negative values or dashes in character fields. The minus key is also used for “No” responses to display prompts. 1-10 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information Numeric Keys Use the numeric keys as you would those on a calculator. Numeric values are single keystroke operations. Alphabetic Keys Your computer provides the full alphabet on both the 41and 51-key keyboards. Alphabetic characters are single keystroke operations with the 51-key keyboard but are two keystrokes on a 41-key keyboard. Alphabetic characters can be entered on the 41-key keyboard by using the blue shift key. Backspace [ ] Key Use the backspace key to back the cursor up one character at a time. Holding this key down causes the cursor to continuously move backwards until you stop or you run out of space to move. Shift Keys Your hand-held computer has three different “shift” function keys. These keys temporarily shift the function of the keyboard. Your keyboard has a green [SHFT] key, a blue key and a yellow key. The green shift key is a standard shift key. Both the blue and yellow keys work just like the shift key, and allow access to different alternate functions. Your keyboard may have up to three color-coded legends (words or characters) above some of the keys. The green, blue, or yellow “shift” keys correspond to those options. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-11 SECTION 1 General Information Green [SHFT] Key Pressing the green [SHFT] key shifts the keyboard between uppercase and lowercase for a single keystroke entry. If the keyboard is set for uppercase character entry, pressing green [SHFT] followed by a character key enters a single lowercase character. Blue Key Use the blue shift key to enter single keystroke entries of that shifted option. The blue shifted function relates to the blue legends located above the keys. Using a 41-Key Keyboard On the 41-key keyboard, above the yellow shift key is Alphabetic Lock, illustrated by the symbol ALPHA . This locks the keyboard so only the alphabetical characters are entered. Press the blue key and then the yellow key. The blue padlock is CAPS LOCK. This causes alphabetic characters to be capitalized. Press the blue key and then the space key. ALPHABETIC or CAPS lock continues until the blue then yellow shift keys are pressed again. Using a 51-Key Keyboard On the 51-key keyboard, there is no ALPHA Lock key because the alphabetical letters are not shifted functions. Yellow Key Use the yellow shift key to enter single keystroke entries of that shifted option. The yellow shift functions relates to the yellow legends on your keyboard. 1-12 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information Using Shifted Functions This section explains the use of the shift keys. The Rules The green [SHFT] key is the same as the SHIFT key on a PC except that the green shift key also relates to those characters where green legends appear above the keys. EXAMPLE: On a PC, SHIFT [3] produces the # character, and that is the same on the hand-held computer. Contrast and backlighting are on the window scrolling arrow keys. The contrast control and backlight control are not the same as the PC shift. This hand-held computer uses shift left, shift right and shift up for contrast and backlight control. On a PC these key strokes produce a 4, 6, and 8. Numeric values 0--9 are available on all the 6400 HandHeld Computer versions, those keys are used for special controls without causing compatibility issues. Using the Shifted Functions If the function you want is printed on the keyboard overlay (in blue, yellow, or green) then you must first press that colored shift key immediately before the desired color function. That two-key combination always defines that key. EXAMPLE: A 41-key DOS/PC keyboard has the letter S in blue over the [F9] key. Therefore, to produce a lowercase ’s’, press blue shift then the [F9] key. To produce an uppercase S, press the green [SHFT] key, then blue shift, then the [F9] key. ‘S’ is always produced by pressing blue shift, then the [F9] key; if you want to modify this, you press a modifier first. EXAMPLE: To produce CTRL-S, press the [CTRL] key, then blue shift, then the [F9] key for ‘S’. To produce ALT-F9, press the [ALT] key, then the [F9] key. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-13 SECTION 1 EXAMPLE: General Information Pressing the green [SHFT] key and then the [DEL] key produces a dot instead of deleting the character at the cursor. The nearby keys on that row [CTRL], [ALT], and [ESC] still behave normally when the green [SHFT] is pressed first. This is why annunciators are absolutely crucial, since you must only press one key at a time. The annunciators tell you which shift key you are pressing and holding down. Refer to page 1-16 for locations and meanings of display annunciators. Pressing more than one shift key along with another key may not always produce the result you expected. This happens as a result: Of the sequence of keys pressed, and " The mode your computer is in at the time the key is pressed. There is no problem when you press the green [SHFT] and the yellow key. But if you press the [SHFT] and either the blue or yellow shift key, you usually experience different results than you expect. Summary of Shift Key Combinations Green [SHFT] and either blue or yellow shift key and another keystroke, no confusion " Green [SHFT] and blue and yellow shift key along with another key, confusion can occur This is similar to your PC, if the NUM LOCK or CAPS LOCK is engaged then pressing shift and a key usually produces something other than what you want. Therefore, just like with a PC, to get the result you want you have to change a mode or the sequence you press the keys. 1-14 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information Display Annunciator Locations on Display Window Annunciators are located at the extreme bottom of the display, in 20 separate positions. The following figure illustrates where each annunciator is positioned. Position 1 is located in the lower left hand corner and position 20 completes the row in the lower right hand corner. Figure 1-7 Annunciator Locations On Display PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-15 SECTION 1 General Information Annunciator Descriptions Annunciators appear on the bottom line of the display. Display Annunciators (Messages) The symbols contained in this section are larger than actual size. The meaning of the annunciators is described below: 1-16 Shift mode: After holding down the green Shift [SHFT] key, the next character will be uppercase or the alternative function. Control mode: Generally you use the Control mode as it is designed in by your particular application. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 EXAMPLE: General Information Alt mode: Generally you use the Alt mode as required by your particular application. Scroll lock mode: This mode locks the keyboard for scrolling only. By using the scroll arrows on the [WINDOW] keys you can continuously scroll through all data entered. Your application and keyboard definition show you which key is defined for scrolling. To unlock, press the key again. NUM lock mode: Both the 41-key and 51-key DOS/PC keyboards have the option for locking the keyboard in numeric lock mode. Pressing the yellow shift then the number 8 key sets this function. To unlock, press the yellow shift then the number 8 key again. CAPS lock mode: The keyboard is in CAPS lock mode when this annunciator is displayed on the bottom row of the screen. All keystrokes are entered as uppercase characters. To unlock CAPS press the [CAPS] key (51-key keyboard) again or the blue shift and space key using the 41-key keyboard. Alphabetic lock mode: Only the 41-key keyboards have the option for locking the keyboard in alphabetic mode. Only those keys that have alphabetic characters in the blue shift mode are affected. The primary key function and the alphabetic are swapped in Alphabetic Lock. Pressing the blue shift and then the yellow shift toggles Alphabetic Lock on and off. The following example shows how by using the number 1 key you can produce characters 1 or A. Normal Operation: Pressing the [1] key produces the character ‘1’; pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces an ‘A’. Using the Alphabetic Lock: Pressing the [1] key produces an ‘A’; pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces the character ‘1’. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-17 SECTION 1 General Information Blue Shift Mode: This annunciator shows you that the keyboard is in the blue shift mode. Pressing a key enters the character or performs the function shown in blue on the overlay to the upper left of the key. Yellow Shift Mode: This annunciator displays when the keyboard is in the yellow shift mode. Pressing a key enters the character or performs the function shown on the overlay in yellow to the upper right of the key. Battery Pack Gas Gauge Icons: These battery icons represent the charge level in your main battery pack. Four icons indicates more than 76 % charge level Three icons indicates between 51--75% Two icons indicates between 26--50% One icon indicates between 21--25% Once your computer gets below the 20% range, the icons are replaced by “Ls” and after the charge level is less than 10% your computer emits a series of beeps.

Infrared (IrDA) Port The IrDA port provides for the transmitting of an infrared signal to: A printer equipped with an IrDA adapter A personal computer with IrDA serial adapter Any other IrDA compatible device Battery Management The normal charge time for the main battery pack is 1.5 hours for a 2 cell pack and 3 hours for a 4 cell pack. You should charge the battery pack until the green LED on the charger comes on, indicating a fully charged pack. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-23 SECTION 1 General Information A fully charged battery pack, left outside of a charger or your computer, self discharges in about 20 days. It is best to take batteries directly from the charging device and install them into your computer. Your battery packs are rated for 500 full charge/discharge cycles after which they have 50% of their original capacity. The main and backup batteries will not charge below 32_F (0_C) and above 104_F(40_C). The battery life of the cells is reduced when running in cold temperatures. EXAMPLE: Your computer should be used only two shifts a day in a below 0_C environment to allow eight hours for the internal backup battery to recharge in room temperature. It is always a good idea to check the capacity of your battery pack before inserting it into your computer, and charge accordingly. Refer to Measuring Battery Pack Charge Level on page 2-8 for instructions. Battery Main Battery Pack The hand-held computer offers rechargeable lithium ion main battery packs in: 1-24 Two cell Four cell Four cell in optional scanner handle PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information WARNING: The battery can explode if it is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent kind. AVERTISSEMENT: La batterie au lithium peut exploser si elle est replacée de manière incorrecte. Elle ne doit être remplacée que par une batterie identique ou similaire. WARNING: The lithium battery can explode if placed incorrectly in the charger. AVERTISSEMENT: Les batteries au lithium peuvent exploser ou prendre feu si elles sont trop chargées à cause d’une mauvaise installation de la station d’accueil. When your hand-held computer goes into suspend mode because of low main battery condition, the data is protected by the backup battery. Your hand-held computer will not accept data or process transactions until you deal with the low battery condition. The backup battery protects the data that you have entered for at least 100 hours. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-25 SECTION 1 General Information Backup Battery Your hand-held computer contains a rechargeable nickelmetal hydride backup battery. This backup battery recharges when needed from either an external charging source (like a printer or dock) or from the main battery pack. If the backup battery is completely run down it takes a minimum of 8 hours to completely recharge but it is better to recharge it for a full 12 hours. The backup battery remains ready to protect your computers data whenever the main battery pack is removed or needs recharging. The backup battery should last about 500 cycles (discharge and recharge equals a cycle). This battery should last for about 5 years before it needs to be replaced. If your hand-held computer fails to hold data for at least 100 hours in the suspend mode, send your computers to the Norand Customer Support Center for replacement. Memory This hand-held computer design uses these types of memory: " Main Memory DRAM " Flash Main Memory Your main memory DRAM options available are 2, 4 or 8 Megabytes. The hand-held computer main memory was ordered at the time your unit was purchased. To add additional memory, send your hand-held computer into your Norand Customer Support Center. The main memory is protected by the backup battery during low or dead main battery conditions or when the main battery pack is removed. 1-26 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information Flash Flash memory is available in 2 or 4 Megabytes. Flash stores the BIOS and DOS. Software stored in flash is copied into DRAM for execution. Your application may also store information in flash memory. Flash memory retains data even if all power sources are depleted. Diagnostic EEPROM The hand-held computer collects and stores diagnostics. They can provide useful information to a Norand Customer Support Specialist, should your hand-held computer fail to operate. You will be instructed by the Norand personnel to complete the necessary steps while they are troubleshooting your computer with you. Resetting In the rare event that your hand-held computer fails to respond to your input, it may be necessary to “reset.” A “hard” reset of your hand-held computer is done by holding down the Blue, Yellow and both ENT (Enter) keys all at the same time, until your computer starts beeping. This usually takes about 1--2 seconds. This method is equivalent to powering off and on with a PC. Resetting (also called rebooting) can take your hand-held computer up to 45 seconds. Depending on the type of overlay your hand-held computer is programmed for, usually a “soft” reset is done by pressing Ctrl, Alt, and Delete. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 1-27 SECTION 1 General Information Batch Terminal Operation Your hand-held computer contains internal memory so it can collect and store data and then at the end of a day or shift, transmit (send) it to a centrally located host computer. Many applications do this upload and download of information daily, but sometimes this may happen several times a day, or only occur weekly. Terminal Emulation In Terminal Emulation you are using your hand-held computer to imitate the appearance and operation of another terminal (usually a particular IBM or DEC display monitor). The keyboard overlays for the emulated terminals supported by this hand-held computer are contained in Appendix B. Accessories and Options Internal Scanner Your hand-held computer can be ordered with an internal integrated scanner. An integrated scanner provides the convenience of having a hand-held computer and scanner in one, for the freedom of one handed operation. Internal Radio Your hand-held computer can be factory equipped with either a 902 MHz or 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio. This hand-held computer with a radio provides for both batch (store and forward data transfer later) and real-time (right now) interaction with your host computer or network for flexibility of operation. 1-28 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 1 General Information Communication Adapter B CAUTION: The pins on the external connectors of the hand-held computer are fragile.

Then, try the battery pack in different charger cups to see if this error still occurs. If it does occur, send the battery pack to your service center for replacement. This situation could be caused by a bad charger cup or a computer. Insert different batteries into this same charger cup. If the cup produces this same error with the other batteries, this indicates that the cup on the charger is bad. To get the battery back into a good state, put the battery pack back in the computer and operate for a few minutes. Then place the battery pack into a different charger cup and recharge. Send the charger to your service center. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a minimum of 16 hours. If the error condition still exists, send the battery pack to your service center. Backup Battery A fully charged backup battery provides protection for maintaining data approximately 100 hours with the main battery removed or completely run down. The backup battery is charged from the main battery pack and every time your hand-held computer is placed in a dock or charging source. " NOTE: Your computer should be placed on a charging source for 12 hours before using the first time to fully charge the backup battery. The backup battery is not user-replaceable. To have your backup battery replaced, send it in to the Norand Customer Service Center nearest to you. Whenever you send in your hand-held computer for service, include a description of what you would like to have done to it.

When your hand-held computer is cold booted (turning on the first time or after resetting), it displays several messages in rapid succession. The first message shows the firmware version and its release date (DD/MMM/YY). If you are just resuming, the display is restored to its previous state. The screens that follow depend on your application. The documentation that addresses using this hand-held computer as a batch (store now and send later) unit instruct you about all remaining operations. Suspending Your Hand-Held Computer To suspend operation, press and release the [I/O] key once. Suspending operation works only if your computer is not plugged into a charging source. The memory contents are protected when the power is suspended. Automatic Suspend Your hand-held computer automatically puts itself into the suspend mode after a period of inactivity. However, waiting to suspend uses battery energy. Therefore it is best to manually suspend your hand-held computer by pressing the [I/O] key when not entering data. The memory contents are protected when the power is suspended. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 2-15 SECTION 2 Operation Terminal Emulation programs do not automatically suspend. When lying idle but not manually suspended, the integrated radio module is still active and will drain battery much as if it is actively being used. Therefore, it is necessary to manually suspend your computer by pressing the [I/O] key. Understanding the Key Clicks You communicate your intended action to your hand-held computer through pressing a key on the keyboard. Your hand-held computer communicates back to you through an audible response, a “key click.” Each time you press a key, your hand-held computer lets you know with a single audible key click. Pressing certain keys causes two consecutive key clicks that occur one after another so quickly that they almost sound like a single beep. These two consecutive key clicks occur because your hand-held computer automatically “presses” the shift key for you in these cases. EXAMPLE: An example of consecutive key clicks is the same as what happens when you use the “shift” key on a PC. These keys include a colon(:), double quote(”), and percent sign(%). If you enter an incorrect action or keystroke, you hear a “beep.” An error “beep” is longer than a key click. An error “beep” is intended to get your attention and let you know an error occurred. 2-16 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 2 Operation Scanning You can order an integrated scanner as part of your handheld computer, or you can attach a tethered 5-volt serial, decoded out bar code scanner to your hand-held computer.

This section describes the menus used to set operating and scanning parameters for the hand-held computer. Additional information can be found in the programmer’s guide or technical overview for your particular emulation program. Keyboard Functions Some keys on the hand-held computer have special functions, which can vary depending upon the application software. General function keys (keys that perform the same task, regardless of the application) are described in the following paragraphs. Yellow and Blue Shift Keys Use the yellow and blue shift keys to put the keyboard in the desired (yellow or blue) shift mode. These shifted key functions are shown on the keyboard overlays in Appendix C. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 3-1 SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens ENTER [ENT] Keys Press either [ENT] key to select the option that is highlighted in the menu shown on the display. After selecting an option [ENT] either restores the display to the previous menu or advances to the next menu. Number Keys [0] Through [9] Many menus have numbered options. To choose a particular option, press the numeric key that corresponds to that option. Once you make a selection and you remain at that menu screen, the option is highlighted, but you can select additional options. To deselect an enabled option, press the number corresponding to that option. In some cases, pressing a number brings up a different menu (submenu). This allows you to further modify the choice made in the parent menu. Press the [ENT] key to confirm the settings and exit this menu. After the modification(s), you may (depending on the menu and function) be permitted to return to the parent menu to make additional selections. There are also situations where pressing [6] causes your hand-held computer to exit from a submenu or reboot. Various menus require entering a number, but do not necessarily have simple choices such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Instead, you may have to enter a number from a range (example: 0--32). You may have to press [ENT] after these. These instances are detailed in the text that applies to those menus, or in the menu displays. 3-2 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens Y Up and B Down Arrows These keys are defined by the host computer. Use these keys to: Adjust the length and frequency of the key click and error buzzers. Set the display size (the number of rows displayed and characters per row) of the display. Display Annunciators Annunciators show the current status or operation in progress. The following lists some of the annunciators common to all emulations. These annunciators occupy positions 0 through 8 of the display. A bibliography follows that tells where more information can be found. Display Position 0 Radio computer. The radio is transmitting data to the base station. Display Position 1 If the radio icon is displayed in position 0 then position 1 shows the status of the radio transmission (either receiving, sending, communication loss, or message waiting). If there is no radio icon shown in position 0 then this position is blank and position 1 shows the active session number 1 or 2. Sending. Radio is sending data to the base station. Receiving. Radio is receiving data from the base station. This annunciator appears only when the information is for this particular computer’s address. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 3-3 SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens Communications loss. No communication with the host computer has occurred for at least 60 seconds. The radio computer may be out of radio range, the base station may not have power, or communications from the host computer to the base station may not be properly set up. Message. You have received a message and it has not been read. Display Position 2 Input Inhibited. The keyboard has accepted enough information for the current input field. If the “key ahead” feature is on, the terminal stores the keystrokes made after “input inhibited” appears. The host may also inhibit (lockout) the keyboard upon certain errors or when sending additional information to your computer. Insert Mode. Characters are inserted, not overwritten. Display Position 3 Alphabet Character (green) Shift Mode. The keyboard is in the alphabet character shift mode—any alphabet character keystrokes are entered as uppercase characters. (blue) Shift Mode. The keyboard is in a colored shift mode—keystrokes enter the symbol or perform the function shown on the overlay just to the upper left of the key. (yellow) Shift Mode. The keyboard is in a colored shift mode—keystrokes enter the symbol or perform the function shown on the overlay just to the upper right of the key. Display Position 4 3-4 Alpha Lock. This Alpha Lock symbol is used only for the 41-key keyboard model. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens Display Positions 5- 8 Battery Pack Gas Gauge Icons: These battery icons represent the charge level in your main battery pack. " Four icons (positions 5--8) indicates more than 76 % charge level " Three icons (positions 5, 6,, and 7) indicates between 51--75% " Two icons (positions 5, and 6) indicates between 26--50% " One icon (position 5) indicates between 21--25% Once your computer gets below the 20% range, the icons are replaced by “Ls” and after the charge level is less than 10% your computer emits a series of beeps. " Four Ls indicates between 16--20% charge level " Three Ls indicates between 11--15%. " Three Ls indicates between 11--15%. At the 15% charge level, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer. " Two Ls indicates between 6--10%. At the 10% and 7% charge levels, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer. " One L indicates between 0--5%. At this charge level, your computer beeps three times at its current setting level for both duration and frequency. " NOTE: If you have the beeper turned off, you will not hear any of the low battery beep warnings. The battery pack icons on your computer display reflect the same status as the LEDs on the battery pack. However, there may be a one minute delay for updating the icons on the display when the battery pack is replaced.

This number allows the host computer to identify individual hand-held computers in the radio data network. Each hand-held computer must have a unique number in the same network. The Set Radio # and the Advanced Setup menus, are shown on the following pages. To set or change the hand-held computer identification number, use the numeric keys on the hand-held computer keyboard. After entering a number (between 0 and 126), press the [ENT] key to return to the Main Menu, or the [A] key to go to the Advanced Setup menus. The LAN ID number can be 0--255 depending on the radio you are using. With the RM60/70 radio the number can be 0--255 and with the RM80/90 radio the range is 0--15. Your computer only communicates with equipment using the same ID number that you assigned to your LAN. If you enter a LAN ID number that is different from what is configured in your NET.CFG file you get this message. LAN ID changed Need to reboot to take effect. If this happens the system modifies your net.cfg file which is used by the WTPPKT.EXE program on initialization of your computer. Therefore, that is why you need to reboot your computer. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 3-13 SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens The second option in the Advanced Setup menu allows you to change the radio configuration setting. At the present time this is not used and is left available for custom settings necessary at a particular customer site. A Norand System Engineer works with you to make this setting. If your computer is using an RM160/170 902 MHz or RM180/190 2.4 GHz radio module use the up and down arrows to pick the Direct Sequence (DS) and Channel configuration. If your computer is using an RM111 Synthesized UHF radio you select from the list the possible frequencies for your radio module. Use the next option in the Advanced Setup menu if there is more than one host computer on your SST network. This allows you to designate up to three host computers for each hand-held computer. Each host is assigned a separate priority level (1, 2, or 3). When powered on, the hand-held computer seeks host A. If host A is not available, the handheld computer seeks host B; if host B is not available, the hand-held computer attempts to log onto host C. When designating additional hosts, you must: " NOTE: 3-14 Tell the hand-held computer the host type of each host computer (Native, 3270, 5250, or VT220).

PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 3-17 SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens Scan Options Use the Scan Options menu to designate how the hand-held computer handles scanned bar codes. The Scan Options menu is shown below. Descriptions of the options follow. Scan Options 1) Redundancy 2) MOD 10 Check 3) Concatenate 4) BC Type Char 5) Stream Scan 6) Scan All Flds 7) More Redundancy: This option requires two identical scans of a bar code, one right after another, before the hand-held computer accepts the scan as valid. Mod 10 Check: When you select this option, a check digit is added at the end of the bar code after a good read. This is a variation of the modulus 10 formula and is used infrequently. For additional information on Mod10, refer to the book PEN*KEYR 6400 Programmers Reference Guide NPN: 977-054-004. Concatenate: Each bar code read is added to the end of the previous bar code read until the computer meets a condition that forces transmission to the host. When this option is OFF, each bar code read is placed at the beginning of the current input field. After a bar code is placed in a field, any subsequent read replaces the first read. BC Type Char: This option adds a character associated with the bar code type at the beginning of the scanned bar code. Stream Scan: If the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow information appears in the next field. This continues until the entire bar code is entered. 3-18 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens When this option is OFF, and the scanned bar code is too big for the input field, the overflow information is dropped. Scan All Fields: When you select this option the scanner is enabled whenever the cursor is in an input field. When this option is OFF, the host computer must enable the scanner for each input field that requires scanned data. After you press the [ENT] key, the display advances to additional Scan Options menus. To enable the scan options, press the numeric key(s) corresponding to the options you want, then press [ENT]. You can enable more than one Scan Option at a time. Scan PreChar and Scan PostChar: Enter a hexadecimal value from 00--FF for the character to be sent preceding the scanned data or after the scanned data.

Screen Mode Use Screen Mode to select cursor position and movement as you scroll through data in the display buffer. This buffer stores data in a standard CRT format (as sent from the host computer). Since your hand-held computer display is smaller than a CRT, these Screen Mode options allow you to optimize your view of information (data) on the hand-held computer display. In order to see all of the data on the screen, use the arrow keys to scroll (or “move”) the view port of the screen on the display. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Screen Mode Center Cursor Corner Mode Page Mode Lazy Mode Locked Mode Center Cursor is the default mode. In this mode, the cursor begins near the center of the display and attempts to remain there as you scroll through the data. Upon reaching an outside boundary of the full CRT screen, the display stops advancing while the cursor moves beyond the center PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 3-39 SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens of the screen. When the cursor reaches the boundary of the CRT screen, an error tone sounds (the hand-held computer “beeps”). The cursor does not wrap to the next line in the display. This option is recommended when your application program sends the full CRT display to the hand-held computer. The Corner Mode option starts the display at the upperleft corner of the full CRT screen and keeps the cursor in the lower-right corner of the display. As you scroll, the cursor remains there as data advances in the scrolled direction (up, down, right, or left)—until an outside boundary of the full CRT screen is reached. Then the screen stops moving in relation to the display and the cursor moves in the scrolled direction (the cursor no longer remains in the corner of the display). When the cursor reaches the CRT screen boundary it stops moving. The cursor does not wrap to the next line in the display. An error tone sounds if you try to move the cursor beyond the boundary. This option is recommended when your application uses only the upperleft corner of the full CRT screen. The Page Mode option divides the full CRT screen into predefined “pages,” and starts the hand-held computer display on page 1. The cursor first appears in the upper-right corner of the display. As you scroll, only the cursor moves (the data on the screen does not appear to move). When you scroll off the edge of the displayed page, the display snaps to the next (or previous) page. Upon reaching the boundary of the CRT screen, the cursor stops moving and an error tone sounds each time you attempt to move beyond the boundary. " NOTE: Some “pages” in Page Mode overlap each other (the same information is shown on both pages). This overlap occurs because the 24 row by 80 column CRT screen cannot be divided equally. Lazy Mode starts the cursor in the upper left corner of the hand-held computer display. The cursor moves across the 3-40 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 3 Terminal Emulation Menu Screens display in the scrolled direction. When the cursor goes beyond the edge of the display, the data begins to move in the opposite direction that the cursor is moving in and the cursor remains at the edge of the display. When you reach an outside boundary of the full CRT display, an error tone sounds each time you try to move beyond the boundary. When Locked Mode is selected the screen view is locked to the upper left hand corner of the display. Any characters outside of the display window size you select are written to the screen, but you can not see them. The windowing keys do not move the visible window.

Occasional maintenance is required to ensure trouble-free operation. The procedures in this section should help keep your computer in good working condition. Maintenance procedures included in this section provide instructions for identifying Low Battery conditions and cleaning your computer. Low Battery Indication Battery Pack Gas Gauge Icons: These battery icons represent the charge level in your main battery pack. Four icons indicates more than 76 % charge level Three icons indicates between 51--75% Two icons indicates between 26--50% One icon indicates between 21--25% PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 4-1 SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Once your computer gets below the 20% range, the icons are replaced by “Ls” and after the charge level is less than 10% your computer emits a series of beeps. " NOTE: Four Ls indicates between 16--20% charge level Three Ls indicates between 11--15%. At the 15% charge level, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer. Two Ls indicates between 6--10%. At the 10% and 7% charge levels, your computer beeps once. The sound duration and frequency are at levels you have set for your computer. One L indicates between 0--5%. At this charge level, your computer beeps three times at its current setting level for both duration and frequency. If you have the beeper turned off, you will not hear any of the low battery beep warnings. The battery pack icons on your computer display reflect the same status as the LEDs on the battery pack. However, there may be a one-minute delay for updating the icons on the display when the battery pack is replaced. If you turn your computer on and it does not respond, this may mean that both the main and backup battery are run down. Just to be sure, insert your computer in a dock or other charging device, turn it on, and see if the computer responds. If it does, follow the “Charging Your Battery Pack” instructions beginning on page 2-9 and the “Backup Battery” instructions on page 2-13. If it does not respond when inserted into the equipment that provides charge, another problem could exist. If this happens, refer to the Troubleshooting section for solutions. 4-2 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning Your Hand-Held Computer Periodic cleaning helps maintain the appearance and reliability of your computer. When cleaning your computer, inspect the keyboard, covers, display, connectors, and peripheral products for obvious signs of damage or wear. B CAUTION: Do not use any abrasive cleaning compounds, ketonic solvents (acetone or ketone) or aromatic solvents (toluene or xylene) to clean any part of your computer. These solutions cause permanent damage to your computer. Never pour cleaners directly on the display nor the case. Instead put the cleanser on a soft cloth and gently wipe the case. Case and Display Norand Corporation recommends cleaning the exterior of your computer using a soft cloth dampened with: MICRO-CLEAN II cleanser, made by Foresight International, Inc. 4887 F Street, Omaha, NE 68127-0205, telephone 1-800-637-1344 Glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol Docking Connectors If the docking connector contacts become dirty or tarnished, clean them with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (and not ethyl) alcohol. It may also be necessary to lightly burnish them with a pencil eraser. PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 4-3 SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Should you encounter difficulties in routine operation, printing, or communications, there are a few things you may do to correct the problem: " Refer to your applications (software user) manual operating procedures. " Ensure that electrical and mechanical connections are secure and undamaged. " Check battery condition. Troubleshooting Table This Troubleshooting table lists conditions you might see and offers some basic remedies: Table 4-1 Basic Troubleshooting Condition Solution Computer Displays This is the lowest battery charge level that your computer Shows An L And will operate before shutting down. Do not continue using Emits A Five until you recharge the main battery pack. Second Beep As The Battery Pack Ages, It Is Losing Capacity And Fewer LEDs Are Lighting Lithium Ion batteries lose about half of their available capacity after 500 cycles (use and recharge = 1 cycle). Therefore, a fully charged battery pack after 500 cycles shows less than four lit LEDs, this is normal. Plan your charging needs accordingly, and note that the capacity continues to decrease with each cycle. A Fully Charged Battery Pack In The Computer Still Does Not Bring It To Life. None Of The LEDs Light On The Battery Pack. Leave the same battery pack in your computer for at least 30 minutes, to allow some time to put some charge into your backup battery. Then replace the battery pack with a fully charged pack. Put the original battery pack into an external battery charger. 4-4 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 4-1 continued Basic Troubleshooting Condition Solution The LEDs On The Battery Pack Do Not Match the LEDs On The Display It takes a minute after you put in the battery pack for your computer to check the status and display the updated battery charge level. After A Weekend A Fully Charged Battery Pack Does Not Last The Normal Length Of Time The computer was left for the weekend without a battery pack in it. Therefore, when you start out the week with the fresh charged battery it has to build up the charge level in the backup battery and that leaves less power for its normal days use. Computer Reboots When A Battery Pack Is Installed The computer was not suspended (pressing the [I/O] key to blank the display) before the battery was replaced. Another reason can be that the backup battery may be drained. Recharge the computer for a minimum of 12 hours. If a problem still exists then send your computer to the service center. Putting The Computer Into A Charging Device The Charge LED Blinks Different Colors There is a fault state condition occurring in the battery pack or the charger. For the complete details concerning the sequence of the colors of the blinks refer to Section 2 Battery Charger LED and Error Codes on page 2-12. When Putting The Battery Pack In The Charger The LED Never Turns Green There is a fault state condition occurring in the battery pack or the charger. For the complete details concerning the sequence of the colors of the blinks refer to Section 2 Battery Charger LED and Error Codes on page 2-12. * Ensure that there is a main battery in.

If you do not have your computer connected to a charging source the booting should be less than 30 seconds. Short beeps about one second apart occur during the booting process to indicate that your computer is working. If it takes longer than that, contact Norand support personnel. Tethered Laser Data And Internal Laser Engine Data Does Not Show Up In The Key Buffer Load 64SCN7B with both “--e” and “--w” command lines switches. Both are needed to enable power to the internal engine and direct the data from both scanners to the keyboard. Wedge Mode Application Dies When Scanning Data Using A Tethered Scanner, But Works Fine With The Integrated Scanner Check for non-displayable preamble, postamble, prefix, or suffix characters being sent by the laser. The internal laser engine sends a postamble of by default. Either disable them or code the application to handle them. The integrated scanner and tethered lasers may be configured by scanning setup bar codes. Tethered Scan Data Does Not Show Up In The Key Buffer But The Integrated Laser Data Does Ensure that the tethered laser is configured for 9600, n, 8, 1 and the bar code data is prefixed with an STX (0x02) and suffixed with an ETX (0x03). PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide 4-7 SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 4-1 continued Basic Troubleshooting Condition Solution Computer Does Not Scan Bar Code WARNING: Do Not Look Into Scanner * Ensure that there is a main battery in. * Ensure that the main battery is charged. * Ensure that the battery compartment door is closed. * Ensure the bar code symbology is turned On. Application has to have scanner turned On. * Ensure the scanner lens is clean. * Ensure the bar code is free of smears or dirt. Refer to instructions for Scanning beginning on page 2-17. Pressing The Scan Key Does Not Turn ON Computer * Normal operation is that the scan key on computer wakes it up, but if using a tethered scanner it does not. * Ensure that there is a main battery installed. * Ensure that the main battery is charged. * Ensure that the battery compartment door is closed. Can Not Scan Interleaved 2 Of 5 Bar Codes Interleaved 2 of 5 only decodes bar codes that are exactly the same number of characters as programmed into the integrated scanner lengths 1 and 2 parameters. By default, the lengths are 14 and 0. A length of 0 means disabled, so only 14 character bar codes will decode. Ensure one of the lengths is set to the length of your bar code and the other disabled. Do not leave both lengths set, if only one is needed, because Interleaved 2 of 5 can easily mis-decode into an incorrect length. Hear A Beep When Programming Scanner To Enable Interleaved 2 Of 5, But Not When Trying To Set Length 1 Beeps are heard at the end of a programming sequence. Enabling Interleaved 2 of 5 is a one-bar code sequence. Setting an Interleaved 2 of 5 length is a three-bar code sequence. You will not hear the beep until the third (last) bar code is scanned. Please note, you must scan each bar code of a multiple sequence within a 1/2 second of each other. This is most easily accomplished by making a high resolution copy of the appropriate bar codes and arranging them one above the other. 4-8 PEN*KEYR Model 6400 Hand-Held Computer User’s Guide SECTION 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 4-1 continued Basic Troubleshooting Condition Solution Printers Flow Control On The Serial Port Causes Missing Data Ensure when loading 64SCN7B that the “--t0” switch is used to disable its handling of serial port data as scanner data. Otherwise, 64SCN7B is reading any XON/XOFF messages from the printer. “DASI Scanner HW Press any key to proceed. By default, 64SCN7B will try to Initialization initialize the integrated scanner. If your computer does not Failed.” have an integrated scanner, turn off the handling of it with the 64SCN7B command line switch “--i0”. The error message will not cause any problems. If you do have an integrated scanner, it is inoperative and needs to be repaired. Running TN.EXE Does Not Display Data Add the “--p” command line switch to 64SCN7B --e--w. Also, ensure the [PCTCP TN] section of the PCTCP.INI files contains “screen-saver=yes”. TN.EXE bypasses the BIOS key buffer, but TN is not reading the buffer. The “--p” switch causes 64SCN7B to send the keys to the hardware instead of the BIOS. The “--p” switch may be tried for any software that reads keys directly from the hardware rather than the BIOS. If these basic solutions do not solve your problem, there could be a number of possible causes. Additional things to try: Refer to the software documentation written for your application. This documentation may contain troubleshooting information. If you purchased your computer from a Norand VAR, contact them before contacting a Norand Customer Service Center.
