This chapter teaches you about the rechargeable NiMH baery
pack. It typically lasts 12 to 20 hours, and charges in 4–6
hours using a wall charger, vehicle charger (optional), or USB/
PowerDock (optional).
Battery Settings Screen
Understanding the Battery Settings Screen
The baery charge percentage of the Field PC must be
conrmed or manually set using the Baery Seings Screen.
This screen appears whenever:
The baery pack is removed and (re)installed.
The “Power O” option is selected from the “Power Buon
menu (which appears aer holding the Power Buon for 8
seconds) and then the Field PC is powered back on.
A Hard Reset is performed (by holding down the Power
Buon for 10 seconds).
A Clean Boot (Set to Factory Defaults) is performed.
The charge of the baery pack is fully drained while in
the Field PC, and the unit is then plugged into an AC wall
charger or USB/Power Dock and turns on.
Note: To access the Charge Seings screen, you can either tap the
baery icon or go to Start > Seings > System tab > Power >
Charge Seings tab.
Battery Settings Options
The New Baery Detected screen has four choices:
Same baery, use last values
Full baery
Charge unknown
Enter percentage and capacity
Use Same Baery if the Field PC was turned o and back
on or if the baery was taken out and re-inserted without
being recharged, this option uses the information the
unit already has for the baery seing.
Use Full Baery if the baery is fully charged.
Use Charge Unknown if you do not know the charge of the
baery.
Note: The baery gauging will not be accurate with Charge
Unknown until the baery is fully charged. The baery icon
may not display the percentage of charge correctly.
Use Enter percentage and capacity if you know the charge or
if it is a new baery pack.
Ch 2  Battery and Power13
14Field PC Owners Manual
Enter the correct percentage if it is known and click Ok. If it is a
new baery pack complete the following steps:
1. Set the Percentage to 10 and leave the Baery Capacity
at 4000.
Note: The factory baery is 4000 mAh and so the default for the
Capacity box is 4000. To learn more about this seing read the
Baery Capacity section.
2. Tap on Ok to save the seings and to close the screen.
3. Plug unit into AC charger to charge the new baery.
Once the baery pack is fully charged, the gauging is
automatically set to 100%.
Battery Capacity
The capacity is the amount of energy a fully charged baery can
supply in milliamp-hours (mAh). The baery capacity of the
factory Field PC baery pack is 4000 so the default seing for the
baery capacity is 4000.
If you are using a dierent baery pack, check its mAh
rating commonly listed on the baery label. For optimum
performance, use baery packs with a 3000 to 4000 mAh
capacity. The higher the capacity the longer the charge is held.
Note: As a baery pack ages, operation time is reduced. The capacity
seing for an older baery pack can be adjusted downward to reduce
charging time and to more accurately represent the baery capacity.
Charging the Battery Pack
Recharging the NiMH Battery Pack
We recommend charging the Field PC baery pack when it is
not in use. The Field PC prevents the baery pack from being
overcharged if le plugged into the wall charger.
Temperature Ranges for Charging the NiMH Battery Pack
The Field PC NiMH baery pack is charged most eciently at
temperatures ranging between 10° to 20° C (50° to 68° F) when
the AC power adapter is used. The Field PC baery pack does
not charge outside of the range 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F).
Using the Alkaline Battery Holder (optional accessory)
To properly use the alkaline baery holder, complete the
following steps:
1. Open the alkaline baery holder by pressing the tabs
simultaneously on either side and pulling.
2. Insert three unused AA alkaline baeries by following the
+ and – signs respectively.
Note: It is important that only alkaline baeries are used. We
recommend using non-rechargeable high quality alkaline baeries
such as Duracell® Ultra or Energizer® Lithium.
3. Close the alkaline baery holder by sliding the door in
place and press down to snap it securely shut.
Ch 2  Battery and Power15
16Field PC Owner’s Manual
4. Follow the directions for changing a baery pack to install
the alkaline baery holder. However, the charge seings
screen will not pop up.
The alkaline baery holder is to be used as an emergency,
secondary source of power, not as the primary source. The
baeries do not last as long as the standard baery pack and
have a lower performance rate. The display heater cannot be
enabled and the backlight is disabled when the baery power
level is low.
Please recycle used alkaline baeries in a responsible way.
USB/Power Dock
The USB/Power Dock charges the Field PC, and allows you
to transfer and synchronize les between the Field PC and
a desktop computer. The Power Dock is ordered separately.
Listed below are the functions of the three LED indicators on
the Power Dock:

5. If the Bluetooth device has an assigned passkey, enter the
number. If the device has not already been assigned a
passkey but requires one, enter an alphanumeric passkey
on the Field PC between 1 and 16 characters. Tap Next.
Note: If you are unsure whether your device requires a passkey and
whether one has already been assigned to your Bluetooth device, see
the user documentation that came with the Bluetooth device.
Important: If the Bluetooth
device does not use a passkey,
leave the passkey blank and tap
Next. A message appears, asking
if you want to add the device to
the device list. Choose No and

7. In the Partnership Seings screen on the Field PC, you can
assign a new name to the Bluetooth device in the Display
Name option.
8. Select the service you want to use from the Services box,
then tap Finish.
Bluetooth Virtual COM Ports
Some application programs connect using a virtual COM port
(serial port) when making a Bluetooth connection. To make a
connection possible for such programs, you must rst set up
a virtual COM port on the Field PC. Once created, this virtual
port can be used like any other COM port. For example, you
can use a virtual COM port for programs that connect to a GPS
receiver.
When seing up a virtual COM port, you must specify if the
COM port is an outgoing COM port or an incoming COM port.
An outgoing COM port means that the Field PC initiates
communication with the other device. For example, when you
are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver, the Field PC initiates the
request for data; thus, the virtual COM port connecting with
the receiver would be an outgoing COM port.
An incoming COM port means that the other device is initiating
the communication with the Field PC. For example, a desktop
computer might initiate a Bluetooth ActiveSync connection with
the device via the virtual COM port.
For more details about seing up outgoing and incoming COM
Ports, read the following sections.
Ch 6  Bluetooth Wireless Communications53
54Field PC Owner’s Manual
Set up an Outgoing Bluetooth COM Port
Use this option if you want to assign the virtual COM port as
an Outgoing COM port (i.e., you want to use the Field PC to
initiate communications with another device).
Follow the steps below to set up an outgoing Bluetooth COM port.
1. Make sure you have paired with the serial port device you
want to communicate with. To do this, follow the steps in the
section called Create a Bluetooth partnership in this chapter.
2. Select the COM Ports tab.
3. Tap New Outgoing Port, the second option shown.
4. The Add a Device screen appears. Tap on the name of the
device you want to set up as an outgoing port.
5. Select a numbered COM port from the list of ports that
appear. If the port cannot be created, it is in use. Select a
dierent numbered port.
6. Important:Deselect the Secure Connection option below
the list of COM ports, as shown above. Deselecting this
option ensures that the device disconnects its Bluetooth
connection only when you tell it to, and prevents the device
setup from being deleted aer one connection.
7. Tap Finish.
Once the virtual COM port is assigned using the outgoing
Bluetooth COM port, specify the COM port assignment within
your application as explained in the user documentation for the
application. An example follows.
Suppose you are using a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver with
the device and a navigation program on the Field PC. In this
example, assume you have set up a virtual COM port between
the Field PC and the GPS receiver and that you assigned the
outgoing COM port as COM 6. To assign the COM port in your
navigation program, you would then follow these steps:
1. Locate the place in the navigation program where the COM
port is chosen.
2. Select COM Port 6 as the COM port for the Bluetooth GPS
receiver.
Ch 6  Bluetooth Wireless Communications55
56Field PC Owners Manual
Set up an Incoming Bluetooth COM Port
Use this option if you want to assign the virtual COM port as

Field PC and baery pack.
Caring for Your Field PC
Storing your Field PC and Battery Pack
When the Field PC is not being charged and is suspended, it
draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to
maintain the memory (RAM) of the Field PC in the same state
it was when it was suspended.
When the baery reaches a low charge, the Field PC
automatically comes out of suspend mode and powers o so
there is no further drain on the baery. This feature protects
your baery from damage if this charge level occurs. The
Field PC resets when the baery is recharged and turned on.
Data and programs are secure, as long as they have been saved,
even if the baery pack becomes discharged. The Field PC does
not depend on the baery to store the data for extended periods.
