12 Field PC Owner’s ManualThis 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 ScreenUnderstanding the Battery Settings ScreenThe 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 OptionsThe New Baery Detected screen has four choices:Same baery, use last valuesFull baeryCharge unknownEnter percentage and capacityUse 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 Power 13
14 Field PC Owner’s ManualEnter 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 CapacityThe 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 baery 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 PackRecharging the NiMH Battery PackWe 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 PackThe 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.

50 Field PC Owner’s ManualThis chapter explains dierent Bluetooth drivers and proles and how to create partnerships. Not every Field PC has an integrated Bluetooth radio. Bluetooth® Drivers and ProlesMicroso® Bluetooth drivers are loaded onto your Field PC at the factory. These drivers support the following proles: serial port, le transfer, audio/visual control, dial up networking, object push, human interface device, and advanced audio distribution.Identify the Power Status of Bluetooth using Wireless ManagerBy default, Bluetooth is turned o. If you turn Bluetooth on and then suspend the device, Bluetooth turns o while the Field PC is suspended to save baery power. When you resume (turn on) the Field PC, Bluetooth turns on automatically. To determine the power status of the Bluetooth tap Start > Seings > Connections tab > Bluetooth > Mode tab.Make the Field PC Discoverable to another DeviceTo allow other devices that use Bluetooth wireless technology to detect the Field PC and communicate with it, you must make your device discoverable or establish a partnership with the other device.
Follow these steps to make your device discoverable:1. Tap Start > Seings > Connections tab.2. Tap Bluetooth.3. Select the Turn on Bluetooth checkbox, and then select the checkbox to Make this device discoverable to other devices.Create a Bluetooth PartnershipA partnership is created between the Field PC and another device that uses Bluetooth wireless technology to help exchange information securely. Follow the steps below to create a partnership: 1. Make sure the two devices are turned on, discoverable, and within at least 30 feet of one another.2. Tap Start > Seings and then tap the Connections tab.3. Tap Bluetooth > Devices tab > Add New Device. Your device searches for other devices with Bluetooth capabilities and displays them in the list.Ch 6  Bluetooth Wireless Communications 51
52 Field PC Owner’s Manual4. 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 back to the passkey screen.
6. Enter the same passkey on the Bluetooth device if required. 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 PortsSome 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 Communications 53
54 Field PC Owner’s ManualSet up an Outgoing Bluetooth COM PortUse 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 Communications 55
56 Field PC Owner’s ManualSet up an Incoming Bluetooth COM PortUse 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. 3. Select a numbered COM port from the list. Note: If the port cannot be created, it is in use. Select a dierent numbered port.4.
