Pointmobile User manual PM250 Batteries and Power 2.1 OVERVIEW Battery charging, installation, and information about the single-slot dock, battery charger and power cable are located in the Quick Reference Guide. 2.2 SUSPEND MODE The PDA will go into suspend or sleep mode when it is idle for a configurable period of time, by default it is configured to 3 minutes. The idle duration can be customized using the Power control panel (refer to "Schemes Tab" on page 3^9). Suspend mode works and looks just like you have turned the unit off. Press the < On/Off > key to suspend (put to sleep) the PM250. Press < On/Off > key again for the PDA to resume its previous state. Use the Battery Power control panel to set the idle duration and suspend mode initiation. This will save battery power when PDA is not in use. 2.2.1 Suspending The following conditions will suspend (put the PDA to sleep): • Press the < On/Off > key while the unit is on. • The sleep timer expires, which indicates that there has been no use for a specified period of time. • The battery pack is completely discharged. 2.2.2 Resuming Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the PDA): • Press < On/Off > key to suspend or resume (wake up). • Put the PDA into a dock or connect to data cable. When a battery pack completely discharges while the unit is in suspend mode, the PDA remains suspended until the discharged battery is changed or PDA is connected to charger. © All rights reserved. Pointmobile User manual 2.3 PM250 BATTERY Top: Bottom The battery pack in the PDA is a Lithium Ion battery pack 3.7V, 2200 mAh. © All rights reserved. Pointmobile User manual 2.4 PM250 BATTERY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Prior to using the PDA for the first time, you MUST charge the battery pack. The initial charging cycle for both the battery pack and back-up battery takes approximately thirteen (13) hours. Subsequent charging cycles take four (4) hours. If you remove the battery pack or it completely discharges, there is a 2 hour window in which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery completely discharges. If your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your backup battery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time available. Use only the batteries, charger and cradle supplied by a POINTMOBILE or POINTMOBILE dealer. The use of other battery supplies can damage the PDA and void your warranty. For the correct supplies for the PM250, please contact your POINTMOBILE reseller. Lithium-ion Polymer battery packs can get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury if exposed to improper situations. Follow the safety warnings listed below: • Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery. • Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed. • Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire). • Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects. • Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks. • Do not solder directly onto the battery pack. • Do not expose battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery contacts to get wet. • Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Do not discharge the battery pack using any device except for the specified device. When it is used in devices other than the specified device, the battery pack can be damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury. In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye. Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°-113°F (0°-45°C). Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cookware. © All rights reserved. Pointmobile User manual PM250 Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery, it emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Do not place the battery pack in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight or use or store the battery pack inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy. POINTMOBILE recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance. © All rights reserved. Pointmobile User manual 2.5 PM250 BATTERY DISPOSAL Replace the battery pack only with one sold by a POINTMOBILE reseller. When the battery is worn out, insulate the battery contacts with adhesive tape or a similar material prior to disposal. Please recycle Lithium-Ion Batteries. Do not throw Lithium-Ion Batteries in the trash. 2.6 EXTEND BATTERY LIFE We recommend you to follow few steps witch extend battery life • • • • • • For first time do not turn on unit until batteries are charged for minimum of 13 hours. Turn off wireless devices (Wifi/Bluetooth) when they are not needed, Set display backlight timeout as low as possible Set keyboard backlight timeout as low as possible If possible turn off vibration when good read.

Ad hoc is a network connection method when connection is established for the duration of one session and requires no base station.

Devices may search for target nodes that are out of range by flooding the network with broadcasts that are forwarded by each node. 3. Select encryption AES - Advanced Encryption Standard TKIP - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol PM250 4. Select authentication methods: Open Shared WPA WPA2 WPA2-PSK WPA-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Pre-shared key mode (PSK, also known as personal mode) is designed for networks without of an 802.1X authentication server. Each user must enter a passphrase to access the network. The pass phrase may be from 8 to 63 printable ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits (256 bits). The pass phrase may be stored on the user's computer at their discretion under most operating systems to avoid re-entry. The pass phrase must remain stored in the Wi-Fi access point. 5.
