Note: To access the Charge Settings screen, you can either tap the
battery icon or go to Start > Settings > System tab > Power >
Charge Settings tab.
12 Field PC Owner’s Manual
Battery Settings Options
The New Battery Detected screen has four choices:




Same battery, use last values
Full battery
Charge unknown
Enter percentage and capacity
Use Same Battery if the Field PC was turned off and back
on or if the battery was taken out and re-inserted without
being recharged, this option uses the information the
unit already has for the battery setting.
Use Full Battery if the battery is fully charged.
Use Charge Unknown if you do not know the charge of the
battery.
Note: The battery gauging will not be accurate with Charge
Unknown until the battery is fully charged. The battery 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 battery pack.
Ch 2
Battery and Power
13
Enter the correct percentage if it is known and click Ok. If it is a
new battery pack complete the following steps:
1. Set the Percentage to 10 and leave the Battery Capacity
at 4000.
	Note: The factory battery is 4000 mAh and so the default for the
Capacity box is 4000. To learn more about this setting read the
Battery Capacity section.
2. Tap on Ok to save the settings and to close the screen.
3. Plug unit into AC charger to charge the new battery.
Once the battery pack is fully charged, the gauging is
automatically set to 100%.
Battery Capacity
The capacity is the amount of energy a fully charged battery can
supply in milliamp-hours (mAh). The battery capacity of the
factory Field PC battery pack is 4000 so the default setting for the
battery capacity is 4000.
If you are using a different battery pack, check its mAh
rating commonly listed on the battery label. For optimum
performance, use battery packs with a 3000 to 4000 mAh
capacity. The higher the capacity the longer the charge is held.
Note: As a battery pack ages, operation time is reduced. The capacity
setting for an older battery pack can be adjusted downward to reduce
charging time and to more accurately represent the battery capacity.
Charging the Battery Pack
Recharging the NiMH Battery Pack
We recommend charging the Field PC battery pack when it is
not in use. The Field PC prevents the battery pack from being
overcharged if left plugged into the wall charger.
14 Field PC Owner’s Manual
Temperature Ranges for Charging the NiMH Battery Pack
The Field PC NiMH battery pack is charged most efficiently at
temperatures ranging between 10° to 20° C (50° to 68° F) when
the AC power adapter is used. The Field PC battery 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 battery holder, complete the
following steps:
1. Open the alkaline battery holder by pressing the tabs
simultaneously on either side and pulling.
2. Insert three unused AA alkaline batteries by following the
+ and – signs respectively.
	Note: It is important that only alkaline batteries are used. We
recommend using non-rechargeable high quality alkaline batteries
such as Duracell® Ultra or Energizer® Lithium.
3. Close the alkaline battery holder by sliding the door in
place and press down to snap it securely shut.
Ch 2
Battery and Power
15
4. Follow the directions for changing a battery pack to install
the alkaline battery holder. However, the charge settings
screen will not pop up.
The alkaline battery holder is to be used as an emergency,
secondary source of power, not as the primary source. The
batteries do not last as long as the standard battery pack and
have a lower performance rate. The display heater cannot be
enabled and the backlight is disabled when the battery power
level is low.
Please recycle used alkaline batteries in a responsible way.

Ch 6
Bluetooth Wireless Communications 51
4. The name of the Bluetooth device appears. Tap the name,
then tap Next.
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
skip to step 7.
Note: It is important to choose No when you are asked whether you
want to add to the device to the device list; choosing Yes sends you

52 Field PC Owner’s Manual
6. Enter the same passkey on the Bluetooth device if required.
7.
In the Partnership Settings 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 first 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 setting 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 setting up outgoing and incoming COM
Ports, read the following sections.
Ch 6
Bluetooth Wireless Communications 53
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.
54 Field PC Owner’s Manual
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
different 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 after 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 Communications 55
Set up an Incoming Bluetooth COM Port
Use this option if you want to assign the virtual COM port as
an Incoming COM port (i.e., you want another device to initiate
communications with the Field PC). If you are connected with
a Bluetooth device that supports serial communications, follow
these steps to set up the incoming Bluetooth COM port:
1. Press the COM Ports tab.
2. Tap on New Incoming Port.

Equipment Warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical
shock, fire or damage to the equipment:
Plug the wall charger into an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the
wall charger from the electrical outlet or unplugging the
synchronization cable from the host computer.
Do not place anything on the wall charger cord or any of the
other cables. Arrange them so that no one may accidentally
step on or trip over them.
Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging the wall
charger from the electrical outlet, pull on the plug, not the cord.
Use only wall chargers intended for the Field PC. Using any
other external power source can damage your product and
void your warranty.
Using the Field PC in extreme temperatures
The Field PC operates in ranges from –4° F to 131° F (–20° C to
55° C). To help your device function properly, store the device
indoors when possible.
Other tips:
If the Field PC is exposed to temperatures below 14° F (–10° C),
the device may slow down or the display backlight may
become dim to reduce the load on the battery power.
Extremely low or high temperatures may prevent the battery
pack from charging. Charge the battery pack in temperatures
between 32° F and 104° F (0° C and 40° C). For best results,
charge the battery pack at room temperature (68° F or 20° C)
