Power Management
The Mesa uses 1 or 2 Li-Ion rechargeable baery packs.
Battery Life
Baery life on a full charge is generally up to eight hours per
pack (this can vary signicantly depending on the application,
backlight usage, and radio usage).
Baery packs last approximately 300-500 charging cycles. This
is impacted by the use conditions, environment, etc.
Charging Battery Packs
To charge baery packs, refer to the instructions in Chapter 1,
Geing Started. It typically takes 2 to 3 hours to fully charge 1
baery pack and 4 to 6 hours to charge 2 baery packs.
We recommend that you keep the Mesa baery pack(s)
charging when they are not in use for up to two weeks. When
you plug the Mesa into the wall charger that comes with the
Mesa or the optional Travel Charger, the baeries are prevented
from being overcharged.
Mesa Li-Ion baery packs are charged most eciently at
room temperature (68°F or 20°C). Only charge baery packs in
temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
CAUTION: The Mesa is not totally sealed against water and
dust when baery doors are not installed and properly latched.
Adjusting Power Settings

scrollable list of applications that drops down. A Power control
panel with a graphic representing baery status similar to the
following is shown:
!!
Go to the Advanced set up screen to select how long the Mesa
should stay on when it is not in use. As mentioned under
“Adjusting the Backlight,” dimming the display backlight saves
baery power. Radios can also use a lot of power. You can
conserve power by disabling them when not in use from the
Home screen or Start > Seings > Connections.
Viewing Battery Status
You can view the status of the baery pack(s) from the Home
screen if the baery gadget is enabled. Depending on the status
of the baery pack(s), one of the following icons is shown:
Baery pack(s) power as a percent
Baery pack(s) charging
Baery pack(s) low
External power in use
Charging error
Ch 2 Hardware Components 25
26 Mesa Rugged Notepad Owner’s Manual
Charging Errors
Charging errors are caused by the following:
Baery pack(s) is too hot to charge
Baery pack(s) is too cold to charge
Cannot charge for unknown reason
If you have a charging error, make sure the baery pack(s) is
inserted correctly, the baery door(s) is closed properly, and
you are within the charging temperature range.
LED Activity Indicators
There are LED activity indicators located underneath the
boom row of buons that indicate the following:
Red, solid: Waiting to boot/startup, nished charging (when
external power is applied)

59 Camera
54 Mesa Rugged Notepad Owner’s Manual
Mesa Geo Model
The Mesa Geo model has GPS with 2 to 5 meter accuracy and a
3.2MP camera. Juniper Geotagging™ gives the Mesa the ability
to embed and emboss photos with the date, time and GPS
position. A 3G Data Modem is an optional feature.
GPS
To use GPS, tap on the satellite gadget to turn it on. The GPS
starts looking for satellites to use for a x.
Once enough satellites are found, the following information is
shown:
11/12 SV The number of satellites currently in view followed
by the number of satellites used for the current
position.
3Di The type of x you have. Three satellites are
required for a 2D x while 4 are required for a
3D x. 3Di means SBAS (WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS)
signal is being used for GPS solution.
PDOP A measure of accuracy. The lower the number, the
more accurate the x is.
Note: When you suspend the Mesa, the receiver is in a low power
mode to retain its almanac. When you resume the Mesa, it takes a few
seconds to get a x.
GPS Settings
Internal GPS uses COM7 at 38400 baud. To make changes to the
GPS seings or set up an external GPS, press and hold the GPS
gadget to go to the GPS Seings control panel.
Several applications can share the COM port set up as the GPS
program port using the GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID).
Ch 6 Geo Models 55
56 Mesa Rugged Notepad Owner’s Manual
GPS Intermediate Driver
GPS Receiver Access for Multiple Programs
The GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) is used to allow more
than one program to use data from the GPS receiver. The GPS
Control Panel Seings page controls how the GPSID is used.
On Geo units, the internal GPS is on COM7 and communicates
at 38400 baud. These seings are found on the Hardware page
of the GPS Control Panel. If some other GPS receiver is to be
used, this is where you connect that GPS receiver so that the
GPSID can access it.
The GPSID can output the data on another COM port in a way
that allows multiple programs to access the same COM port.
This is called the Program Port and defaults to COM2 on Geo
models. This can be set up on the Programs page of the GPS
Control Panel.
The Camera as well as both the GPS Status and GPS Compass
gadgets use the GPSID to obtain the GPS information. Turning
o the GPSID (through the hardware port) will disable these
functions.
NOTE: If an application accesses the GPS module directly on COM7,
then the GPSID will not have access to the GPS. This will prevent
the Camera Geotag and GPS gadgets from functioning.
GPS Accuracy
The GPS antenna is in the extended antenna bumper. Don’t
put your hand or another object over the cap. This will reduce
accuracy. The more items between you and satellites, the lower
the accuracy will be.
GPS Compass
The compass is a navigation tool. You can set a waypoint and
navigate back to that location. To use the compass, turn GPS on
by tapping on the GPS gadget and wait until you have a x.

100 Mesa Rugged Notepad Owner’s Manual
4. Aach the arm to the two RAM mounts (one on each end).
The mobile dock is now ready to use in a vehicle, on a pole,
etc.
Vehicle power considerations:
When powering the dock from a vehicle, especially in a
permanent situation, be familiar with the power setup. Power
conguration options and recommendations:
The Mesa suspends when baery power is being used (default
seing), insuring that the both the Mesa baeries and the vehicle
baery are not fully depleted. In this conguration, the Mesa is
powered and charging its baeries whenever vehicle power
is applied. When the vehicle is turned o, the Mesa does not
receive external power and suspends aer the time set in
the power management seings (default is 3 minutes). In a
suspended state, the power to the mobile dock is shut o and
the Mesa draws very lile power (about 25mW).
The mobile dock is connected to a power port that draws current
directly from the baery power of the vehicle. The Mesa and dock
remain powered and the baeries are charged even if the
vehicle is turned o. Be aware that this conguration drains
the vehicle baery. Consult the vehicle’s user manual for
instructions on appropriate use of the power port.
The mobile dock is connected to a key switched baery port of
the vehicle. The vehicle power is not depleted by the Mesa
when the vehicle is turned o. Be aware that with this
conguration the Mesa continues to power the dock ports,
depleting the Mesa baeries.
Wall Mount
You can mount the mobile dock to a wall. Use 2 size 8 wood
screws and aach the dock to a wall stud or plywood panel.
Attaching the Mesa to the Mobile Dock
Follow these instructions to place the Mesa into the mobile
dock:
1. Aach the connector protector to the Mesa and close the
individual port covers so the Mesa docks properly. If the
hand strap is in the way, remove or move it.
2. Align the Mesa with the lower mounting points on the
mobile dock.
2. Press the Mesa back to secure it to mobile dock. The top
latch snaps into place.
Note: Tighten the security bolt when the mobile dock is used in a
vehicle.
Appendix C Charging and Docking Accessories 101
102 Mesa Rugged Notepad Owner’s Manual
Releasing the Mesa from the Mobile Dock
To release the Mesa from the mobile dock, li up on the top
latch. Pull the Mesa forward and remove it. Note: Loosen the
security bolt if the mobile dock is being used in a vehicle.
Maintenance
Environmental Issues
The mobile dock sheds water when used in its normal
conguration, but is not sealed against water. Avoid using the
dock in situations where water can enter the connector ports.
Protecting the Docking Pins
Do not touch the docking pins (spring loaded contacts) with
conductive items when power is plugged into the dock. Do not
drop items on the dock that can damage the pins.
Keep debris o of the docking pins and the connectors to
mantain the best performance.
Mesa Travel Charger
The Mesa Travel Charger is an optional accessory that allows
you to charge Mesa baery packs on the go. One or two baery
packs can be charged at once.
How to Use the Travel Charger
1. Baery pack(s) should be charged at room temperature (68°
F or 20° C)
2. Place the travel charger on a at surface where it will be
undisturbed.
3. The following accessories can be used to provide power to
the travel charger:
a. AC wall power charger provided with the Mesa;
b. Cigaree lighter power adapter (optional accessory).
Plug a power adapter into the power input jack on the back
of the travel charger. Plug the other end into a wall outlet
or a vehicle cigaree lighter outlet.
4. Insert one or two baery packs into the charging slots.
Make sure you insert them fully. You will feel a slight
catch.
Charge Time
Two depleted baeries (in the charger at same time):
approximately 3.5 hours to fully charge.
One depleted baery: approximately 2.6 hours to fully charge.
LED Indicators
Each baery compartment has a green and red LED. The LED
states indicate the following:
Appendix C Charging and Docking Accessories 103
LED State Indicates
Red LED On Baery pack charging
Green LED
On
Baery pack fully charged
Red Flashing
LED
Baery pack or charging fault
Battery Pack or Charging Faults and Remedies
Possible causes for a ashing red LED:
Over-discharged baery: The baery pack is severely
depleted. The red LED ashes a few seconds aer the baery
is inserted. If the red LED continues to ash for a couple
of minutes, remove the baery pack. It might be faulty,
requiring replacement.
Pre-charge time out: A low baery pack is inserted and
the voltage does not reach an acceptable charge level. The
red LED ashes 30 minutes into the charge. The baery
pack might be at the end of its life or faulty, requiring
replacement. Note: Do not confuse this with the out-of-
temperature fault (next case).
Out-of-temperature range for safe charging: The charger
senses the baery pack is too cold (< 0˚ C, 32˚ F) or too hot
(> 40˚ C, 104˚ F) for safe charging. This can occur at any
time in the charge cycle. The red LED continues to ash,
even aer the baery pack is removed. Reset the charger by
inserting a baery pack with an acceptable temperature or
remove and reapply the external power to the charger. Bring
the temperature of the baery pack into the safe charging
range. If the problem persists, the baery pack might be
faulty, requiring replacement.
Charge cycle time out: The baery pack does not reach full
charge within eight hours. The baery pack might be at the
end of its life or faulty, requiring replacement.
