1.3 NEO Hand-Held Computer Features
NEO is a compact, ruggedized hand-held computer running the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
operating system. It is intended for use in commercial and light industrial applications. NEO
can be ordered with or without a radio. Without a Wi-Fi radio, it operates as a batch or un-
connected computer. With a Wi-Fi radio installed, NEO operates as a connected computer,
delivering real time wireless data transactions. A number of 1D bar code input methodolo-
gies are supported by the scanner and imager available with this hand-held computer.
Optimization for specific operational environments is supported with a wide range of pe-
ripheral options and carrying accessories.
The unique tilted screen design on this hand-held computer makes the display content
readily visible. This means that the operator can scan a bar code and view the results on the
display in one movement – no need to manually tilt the unit to view the results after each
scan. In addition, the tilted screen in conjunction with the protective rib at the base of the
keyboard allows the unit to be placed facedown safely with no danger of an accidental
key press.
Important: These statements provide particularly important instructions or additional
information that is critical to the operation of the equipment.
Warning: These statements provide critical information that may prevent physical
injury, equipment damage or data loss.
Important: For all safety, regulatory and warranty information, refer to the “NEO
Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide”, PN 8000175.

Preparing NEO For Operation
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 11
2.1 Preparing NEO For Operation
2.1.1 The Battery
NEO is powered with a 3000 mAh Lithium-ion Battery, Model No. WA3020, and is com-
patible with battery Model No. WA3006.
2.1.1.1 Charging The Main Battery
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of docking stations along with
a NEO internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required.
All docking stations are described in Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” begin-
ning on page 187.
2.1.2 Backup Battery Power
A super capacitor provides a minimum of 10 minutes of suspend mode backup power to
NEO to protect data while you swap in a new battery; all unnecessary draws on power such
as the display and CPU are shut down to preserve power.
2.2 Switching NEO On And Off
2.2.1 Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On
• Push the release latch at the base of the battery cover to unlatch it. Remove the
battery cover.
Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the safety guidelines
in the ‘NEO Hand-Held Computer (Model No. PX750) Regulatory &
Warranty Guide’, PN 8000175.
Note: In order to maintain the NEO real time clock for three days, a battery must be
charged for at least two hours while installed in the hand-held; however, if you are
charging a spare battery (not installed in the hand-held), the real time clock three
day backup cannot be maintained until a charged battery is installed in the hand-
held computer for at least two hours.
Important: When you initially power up the hand-held, leave the battery in the unit for a
minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.

Note: Each Auth. Mode has a unique Configure Profile screen attached to it with fields
appropriate to the authorization mode you’ve chosen.
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Wi-Fi Config Tab
16 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If
you choose this option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication – Open or Shared,
the WEP security key length – 64 bit or 128 bit and the key type – ASCII or Hex. WEP Key
fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the
access point.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either WPA Personal PSK or WPA2 Personal PSK – a shared key
must be configured on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the follow-
ing can be chosen from the Encryption dropdown menu: TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES.
802.1X, WAP & WAP2 Enterprise And CCKM
These authentication modes use 802.1X and with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is se-
lected, NEO uses WEP encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the
others, the user may choose TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES encryption.
2.4.2.2 EAP
This menu allows you to choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for
802.1x authentication to an access point.
The following EAP types are supported by Wi-Fi Config:
•TLS: Provides strong security via the use of client certificates for user authentication.
Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Wi-Fi Config Tab
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 17
•PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to
encrypt EAP traffic. MSCHAPv2 is used as the inner authentication method. This is
appropriate for use against Windows Active Directory and domains.
•PEAP-GTC: PEAP authentication using GTC as the inner method which utilizes one
time passwords (OTPs) for authentication against OTP data bases such as SecureID.
•LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to
off-line dictionary attacks.
•FAST-MSCHAPv2: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to
protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the
use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
Server Certificate Verification
When the Verify Server Certificate box is checked, NEO will verify the certificate provided
by the authentication server during the authentication process. This requires that an appro-
priate certificate be manually installed on NEO for the verification.
2.4.2.3 Encryption
The Encryption menu allows you to choose the type of encryption that will be used to
protect transmitted data. Choose an Encryption method valid for your network from the
dropdown menu. Only the Encryption options that are compatible with the type of Auth.
Mode you’ve chosen will be listed. In fact, in some cases, this menu will not be available
at all.

Removing The Battery Pack
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 29
3.2.2 Removing The Battery Pack
For details about unlatching the battery cover, review “Installing The Battery And Switching
The Unit On” on page 12.
3.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al-
tered, battery swap time is 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced
within this time frame.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the
battery capacity at which the hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value,
Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM
is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-
held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer
period of time.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 94 for details about reserving battery power for data
backup purposes.
3.2.3 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
3.2.3.1 Charging Options
Lithium-ion batteries must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of adaptors and docking stations. These include:
• AC Wall Adaptor (Model No. PX3010)—operates as an AC power source and when
used in conjunction with PX3001 or PX3054, also charges the battery installed in
the unit.
Important: To protect against data loss, the NEO battery cover is equipped with a mag-
netic sensor; this sensor detects when the battery door is opened and
automatically places the hand-held computer into suspend mode so that
you can safely remove the battery.
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about charging options, refer to
Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know NEO
Switching The Hand-Held On And Off
30 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
• Cigarette Lighter Adaptor (Model No. PX3056) when used with a USB/DC Power
Adaptor (Model No. PX3054).
• Desktop Docking Station (Model # PX3001)—operates as both a charger and a docking
station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station—(Model # PX3004) can charge the battery of up to four NEOs
inserted in the docking station.
The charge time required to make the NEO ready for use varies depending on the type of
docking station used. A NEO inserted in docking station requires 3 hours to charge the
battery to 75% capacity. NEO is equipped with an intelligent charging system that protects
the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
3.3 Switching The Hand-Held On And Off
• To switch the unit on, press and hold down the [ENTER] key for at least one second.
• When the LED flashes green, release the [ENTER] key.
The startup screen is displayed.

peripherals and other power consumption features will alter the specified charge
time.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 40 for addi-
tional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, the charge process will not begin until the
battery temperature is between 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
Note: If NEO is in suspend state, pressing [ENTER] ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The
screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend state is
displayed.
Important: Keep in mind that turning off NEO does not result in a complete reboot;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the unit is
turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know NEO
The Keyboard
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 31
• To switch the unit off, press [FN/BLUE] [ENTER].
3.4 The Keyboard
Two keyboard options are available:
• 48-key alpha-numeric keyboard. This keyboard is only available with connected hand-
helds – units equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
• 26-key numeric keyboard. This option is available for both variants of NEO –
connected hand-helds (described above) and batch (unconnected) hand-helds not
equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or
key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print on the
keyboard keys.
3.4.1 Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.
Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the
bottom of the hand-held screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is dis-
played at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key
becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
Keep in mind, however, that the ‘One Shot’ function allows you to determine how many key
presses will lock a modifier key ‘on’ – one press or two. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot
Modes” on page 82 for details.
3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed
in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [CTRL] key twice locks it on –
it is displayed as CTRL KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know NEO
The Keys
32 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it
off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.
3.4.2 The Keys
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key provides access to uppercase alpha characters, and on numeric hand-helds,
it also provides access to the symbols displayed in white print on the keys.
To lock the keyboard into uppercase, CAPS-lock, press [FN/BLUE] followed by [SHIFT]. A
CAPS-lock icon – a blue capital letter A within a white box – appears in the taskbar. To
unlock or turn off CAPS-lock, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT] again.
The Arrow Keys
The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down,
left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the
next character you type will appear.
The [SPACE] Key
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press-
ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [<—/DEL] Key
This key allows access to both the backspace and the delete function. The backspace func-
tion represented by an arrow [<—] (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves
the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The delete function ([FN/BLUE] [<—/DEL]) erases the character at the cursor position.
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are applica-
tion-dependent.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or
activity and return to the previous one.

Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 33
The [SCAN] Key
All units are equipped with a yellow [SCAN] key. For units that do not have internal scan-
ners, this key can be re-mapped to another function.
3.4.3 Function Keys And Macro Keys
In addition to the standard keyboard functions, NEO supports Function keys and Macro
keys. All Function and Macro keys can be custom defined for each application.
3.4.3.1 Function Keys
The hand-held keyboard is equipped with a total of 10 function keys colour coded in blue
print on the numeric keys; these keys are accessed by executing a key combination,
[FN/BLUE] followed by the appropriate numeric key.
For example, to access function key [F7]:
• Press the [FN/BLUE] key followed by the [7] key—the numeric key to which function
key [F7] is mapped.
• To access function key [F8], press [FN/BLUE] [8], and so on.
3.4.3.2 The Macro Keys
While macro keys are not physically stamped on the keyboard, up to 12 macro functions can
be added using the Scancode Remapping function. Refer to “Scancode Remapping” on
page 86 for details about mapping keys. Refer to “Keyboard Macro Keys” on page 83 for
details about programming characters in a Macro key.
3.4.4 26-Key Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys
On numeric 26-key keyboards, numeric keys are directly accessible, and all alpha characters
are printed on the keys in orange characters. An indicator in the left corner of the taskbar dis-
plays the currently selected character. To access an alpha character, first press the
[FN/ORANGE] key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you
want to type is printed.
Note: The [TAB], [ALT], [CTRL] and [ESC] keys have [F1] through [F4] printed on
them; these are only labels and are provided so that the operator can create direct-
press function keys using the keyboard remapping feature. Refer to “Scancode
Remapping” on page 84 for details about mapping keys.

• Press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the
alpha character.
Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual indicator of
which letter will be displayed on the screen.
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key,
you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [FN/ORANGE]
key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set
up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE]
key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 82
for details.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses
when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose
you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you’d need to press the [2] key three times. With the
[FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key
presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
Note: If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT]. An
icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating that all letters will be
displayed as uppercase characters.

3.7 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
As lithium-ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally con-
sidered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity
remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature ex-
tremes will shorten the battery life.

Note: The battery status is displayed in the Power applet in the Control Panel. A ‘very low
power’ warning message is displayed automatically if the battery capacity falls to
1%. You can also set the percentage at which a ‘low power’ message is displayed
using the Advanced tab in the Power Properties dialog box; it is set to 10% by
default. Refer to “Power Properties” on page 92 for details.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know NEO
Storing Batteries
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 41
Lithium-ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the NEO battery system does
not require user interaction to maintain peak performance.
To determine the remaining charge in the battery, you can tap on the Power icon in the
Control Panel to display a dialog box that provides detailed information about the battery
status of the main battery installed in your unit. You can also tap on the Power icon in the
taskbar to display the battery status.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven—that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep
mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key
press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid
unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• NEO uses a smart battery with built-in intelligence.
Tapping on the Power icon in the Control Panel displays a dialog box that provides
detailed information about the battery status of the main battery installed in your unit.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but contin-
ues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless
the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week—for long-term storage, the battery
should be removed from the unit.
• Reduce display brightness.
• Turn off the keyboard backlight if not required.
3.7.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
• Lithium-ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at tem-
peratures between 0 °C and 20 °C (32 °F and 68 °F).
• Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be
damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored
for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6
months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ lithium-ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or
no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
42 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
3.8 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet connection can be used via the USB to Ethernet
cable (Model No. PX3052).
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When a NEO is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navi-
gation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.
3.9 Bluetooth Radio
The Bluetooth radio enables short range data communication between devices. In addition,
it provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, ex-
changing information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. You can
also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 102
for setup details.
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your NEO before performing data uploads.
Note: Refer to “Desktop Docking Station – PX3001” on page 188 for more details.
Note: Integrated Bluetooth Class 2 radios are standard on ‘connected’ NEOs – that is,
units equipped with 802.11 radios. On ‘batch’ (unconnected) units, Bluetooth is an
optional feature.

Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 45
3.11 General Maintenance
3.11.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive
coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and
is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. NEO is equipped with a stylus that is designed
to safely select items on the touchscreen. Use only the stylus on the touchscreen; using
sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal
conductive coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated acids.
3.11.2 Cleaning NEO
•Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals. The plastic case is susceptible to
harsh chemicals; it is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic
slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keyboard and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.
• When using a dampened cloth to clean NEO, make certain that the battery cover is in
place to protect the battery compartment from moisture.
Note: An optional protective cover (PN 1081366) is available to help protect the touch-
screen. Follow the installation instructions shipped with the cover.
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the exterior of the unit clean.

Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 49
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE 5.0
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE 5.0 for portable devices and desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also
available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE 5.0 supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts
as desktop Windows with one difference—the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished
using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination
of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Each NEO is equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen. The stylus is used
to select objects on the touchscreen.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet, or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your NEO touchscreen has been disabled, you can use the keyboard to choose icons, nav-
igate dialog boxes, display the desktop, and so on. If your unit has already been fully
configured and your application is launched at startup, you’ll have little need for keyboard
navigation, but you can refer to Table 4.1 for a description of the navigation keys.
Note: In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the security level
must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 57).
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen
may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 35.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with
your NEO.

sample rate or bits per sample will be higher quality sound but will require more file storage
space. Lower sample rates and/or bits per sample produces a smaller file, but the sound
quality suffers. The record and play buttons operate in the same as on any recording device.
The X icon deletes the sound and the diskette icon allows you to save your sound.
Command Prompt
Command Prompt is used to access the DOS command prompt. At the prompt, you can type
DOS commands such as dir to display all the directories in the drive.
Note: The sample Program menu above is for NEOs equipped with the Windows CE 5.0
Professional OS. NEOs equipped with the Windows CE 5.0 Core OS have a more
limited Program menu that includes only ActiveSync, Demo, Command Prompt and

•In the Display Properties dialog box, open the Backlight tab.
Intensity
This parameter is used to adjust the light intensity of the backlight. Sliding the bar to the left
lowers the light intensity, and sliding it to the right raises the intensity.You can also adjust
the backlight directly from the keyboard by pressing [FN/BLUE] followed by the [LEFT] or
[RIGHT] arrow keys to increase or decrease the backlight intensity.
Bright For
The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the duration of time that the back-
light stays on at the configured intensity after the last user action (keypress, scan trigger).
Dim For
The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the duration of time that the back-
light stays on at half the configured intensity (dimmed backlight) after expiration of the
Bright For delay and as long as no user action takes place (such as a keypress or scan trig-
ger). At the expiration of the Dim For duration, the display backlight shuts off.
Note: Backlight changes take effect immediately. You do not need to reset the unit.
To maximize battery run time, keep the display backlight brightness and active
durations as low as possible.

repeats. Sliding the bar to the left slows the repeat rate, and sliding the bar to the right in-
creases the repeat rate.
5.5.2.2 Sequence
This tab determines the allowable pause between alpha key presses on a numeric keyboard.
For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key
three times. With the [ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause
between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically. Moving the

5.5.2.4 Keyboard One Shot Modes
•In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the One Shots tab.
The options in this tab allow you to determine how modifier keys on your NEO behave. For
each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [FN/ORANGE] and [FN/BLUE] – you have
the following options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock.
Lock
If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’
until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.
OneShot
If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.
Note: Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not these keys are
locked on. For example, if the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’, the taskbar at the
bottom of the screen displays it in uppercase characters, ORANGE KEY. If this key
is displayed in lowercase characters in the taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key
is not locked. It will become inactive following a key press.
Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you need to tap
on the OK button at the top of the tab to activate your selection.

indicating that the character “a” is represented by the Unicode value “0061”, and so on.
Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are represented as hexadecimal rather than
decimal values.
All user-defined Unicode mappings are listed in the Unicode Mapping tab in order of virtual
key value, and then by order of the shift state. If a Unicode mapping is not listed, the
Unicode mapping is mapped to the default Unicode value.

5.5.2.7 Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has
a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remap-
ping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be
remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents
the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/con-
trast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and
the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines

key presses that occur when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key
presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these
scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping
tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If
the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column la-
belled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column
labelled ‘Function’.
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain
blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number
(e.g., Macro 2).

Battery Power.
Suspend Timeout
When NEO is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan and so on) or system
activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application and so on) – the hand-held uses
the value assigned in the Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep
(appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters
suspend state. In suspend state, the hand-held CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut
off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the
system from suspend state. When NEO is in suspend state, the network connection will not
be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network
connection.
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To
further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time
that the display and the keyboard backlight are ‘on’ (see “Display Back-
light” on page 76 and “Keyboard Backlight” on page 81).

5.5.4.3 Suspend Threshold
The Suspend Threshold lets you to determine when NEO will shut down. If the slider is left
at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the hand-held will run until the battery is
completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose
Maximum Backup Time, the hand-held will shut off with more energy left in the battery so
RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
Important: Selecting ‘Maximum backup time’ reserves approximately 20% of the
battery capacity for memory backup. Once the battery is drained, the system
RAM memory is lost and the unit must reboot.
In most real-time transaction environments, this is not a problem (it only
takes a few seconds to boot). However, batch transaction environments,
where data is not saved to a non-volatile memory (a microSD FLASH
card), may need to pay particular attention to this parameter. Psion Tek-
logix does not recommend the storage of any valuable data in system RAM.
The NEO Windows CE 5.0 environment does not store any critical data in
RAM (such as the registry or file system).
If the user's application does not save data to RAM, Psion Teklogix recom-
mends keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to
maximize battery run time.

Wait for NEO to complete its scan (approximately 20 seconds). When scanning starts, the
Scan button will change to Stop—if necessary, you can tap on this button to stop the process.
Once scanning is complete, all discovered devices will be displayed in the list box, with
Name, Address, Active status, and PIN information.
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a service
is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you high-
light a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.

A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and
you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include:
DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), Headset service and LANPPP
(LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.
• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the
Services button or double-click on the device entry.
Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names. Only
the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio coverage range will

Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:
• Highlight the service to be activated.
• Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.
The Activation menu contains four options: Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing, and Encrypt.
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the
Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name.
BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial
ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find
and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to
BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated.
To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated. Then you
can choose the Outgoing option from the Activation menu (highlight a service, right-click
or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu).
The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation. To
change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.
Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the
RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may change their
RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting may not work when
the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate the service and reactivate it
to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)
Set PIN
PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or you
can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.
• Highlight a device, click on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN.
Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount
of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen.
Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is

This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser
begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which
you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the
scan button or trigger is pressed. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in
which you can enter a value between 5 and 99, each number representing 0.1 seconds.
5.13.2.2 Decoded (Internal) – Advanced Options
Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to on keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the
scanner button is pressed and held down.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned
off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount
of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly
triggers on/off.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a success-
ful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned—a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the unit
is used in a fixed mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as a hand-
held.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min., or 3 min.

Linear Security Level
This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of
5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As se-
curity levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from
1 to 4.
Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read
twice before being decoded:
Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice
before being decoded.
Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be success-
fully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:
Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before
being decoded.
Important: Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that this parameter only be enabled by
personnel with a very strong understanding the scanner and how it operates.
Scanning the wrong parameter code can result in an inoperable unit; if this
occurs, the unit will need to be shipped to a depot for repair.

This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code
39 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code ori-
entation—this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind
that increased levels reduce decode security.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a
decode performance level of between 1 and 3.
Length Restriction
The parameters in this sub-menu allow you to define the length of the bar codes that will be
decoded using either the “Field Size” parameter or the “Minimum Size” and “Maximum

termine if the length falls between the “Minimum Size” and “Maximum Size” is as follows:
• Strip the leading and trailing characters.
• Add the prefix and suffix characters.
• Count the number of characters remaining to either match the field size or determine if
the length falls between the minimum and maximum size.

5.13.4 Options Tab
This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options associated
with your scanner.
5.13.4.1 Double Click Parameters
Click Time (msec)
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the
time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is con-
sidered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this
feature.
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in
the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-click-
ing the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and
initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-
clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.
Click Data
This parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your NEO
following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to
insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

5.13.4.2 Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the
screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible
only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is
cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the
scanner is activated.
Scan Result Time (sec)
The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan
results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a
value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box
appears where you can enter a value.
Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the NEO emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when
a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to
either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the
SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter
determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.).
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code
are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the “Scan Log File” is
enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log
file is written to persistent storage.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired,
point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.

If you choose Default Local ASCII, the code page of the local OS is used. For example, if
the local OS uses double-byte Chinese characters, choosing this option will filter data
through the local ASCII of that OS and display it accurately, in this example, using double-
byte characters.
If you choose ISO-8859-1 Latin 1, data will be displayed according to the character mapping
of this Latin 1 code page, ignoring the local OS code page.

•Search and replace—replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule
cannot fail.)
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file
(see “Scan Log File” on page 169) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are
trying to determine why a rule is failing.
Note: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account
when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it
should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.

Quad Docking Station Setup
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 195
The quad docking station permits each of four docked NEOs to communicate with a 10/100
BaseT Ethernet network. It also provides sufficient power to operate the hand-helds and
charge their batteries.
6.8.1 Quad Docking Station Setup
Refer to instruction sheet PN 1081342 for a checklist of startup steps. You can find this
instruction sheet on Teknet. Go to www.psionteklogix.com. Tap on Teknet and enter you
user name and password. If you’re not already a member, you will be asked to register free
of charge.
6.8.2 Quad Docking Station Indicators
The quad dock is equipped with a power indicator LED and RJ45 link and traffic
indicator LEDs. When a valid link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to
the RJ45 connector.
6.8.3 Inserting A NEO In The Quad Docking Station
• Slide NEO into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.
The LED on the hand-held unit lights up to show it has external power and may start charg-
ing the battery.
Interaction with NEO while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software
used to communicate with the host network.
6.8.4 Network Access
The quad docking station has one 10/100 Ethernet port. You can insert up to four hand-held
units. The hand-helds are connected to an internal USB hub. The hand-held unit automati-
cally detects insertion into a quad docking station and loads the appropriate drivers to
communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.
6.8.4.1 Network Addressing
Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no cor-
relation between these addresses and a specific hand-held. The host application uses
standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific NEO on
the network.
Important: The Ethernet connection on the quad docking station is designed for indoor
use only!
Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Battery Charging – LED Behaviour
196 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
If a link is established between a NEO and a host, the application on the host and on the
hand-held must have a recovery mechanism in the event that NEO is removed from the dock
and the link is interrupted.
6.8.5 Battery Charging – LED Behaviour
Charge status is displayed on the hand-held LED. Refer to Table 6.3 on page 191 for
detailed LED charge behaviour. A NEO inserted in the quad dock requires 3 hours to
charge the battery to 75% capacity. Charge durations are independent of the number of
NEOs docked.
6.8.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking station are
installed on NEO – no indicators or applications are present on the docking station itself.
6.8.6.1 Network Link Unsuccessful
If a network link fails, the application must take appropriate action.
6.8.6.2 NEO LED Does Not Light When Docked
• Check that the quad docking station has power: Is the Power LED on the docking
station illuminated?
• Try inserting NEO in another well in the quad dock.
• Check for dirt or contamination on the docking contacts at the bottom of NEO. Wipe the
contacts with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Check the connector pins inside the dock cradle for dirt. Gently wipe with a soft cloth if
they appear to be dirty or discoloured.
• Check that the contacts are not bent or damaged.
• Remove and reinsert NEO in the cradle.
• Make certain that the battery installed in NEO is not defective.
6.9 Scanners And Imagers
NEO supports 1D laser scanner (SE955) and 1D imager (EV15) options to address a variety
of user application requirements. The scanner/imager installed in your unit can be config-
Note: The specified battery charge times are based on NEO being powered off. Additional
peripherals and other power consumption features will also alter the specified
charge time.
Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Basic Scanner Operations
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 197
ured using the Scanner Settings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 134) and the
Manage Triggers application (see page 97).
6.9.1 Basic Scanner Operations
• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning
indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
6.9.2 Scanning Techniques
• NEO’s unique ergonomic design allows you to hold the hand-held at a comfortable
angle while scanning.
• Ensure that the scanner beam is not perpendicular to the bar code. Light reflected
directly back into the scanner’s exit window may prevent a successful decode.
• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D laser scanner, make certain that the scan
beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end
of the symbol.
• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.
Movement blurs the image.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the
onscreen message states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable
Scan Indication in the Options tab of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
When the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan
button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if Scan Result is turned on in the Options tab
of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
6.9.3 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are
using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
Important: It is critical that you review the “NEO Hand-Held Computer Regulatory &
Warranty Guide, PN 8000175, before proceeding.
Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Bluetooth Peripherals
198 Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the specified decode zone. Refer to “Scanner/Imager
Specifications” on page 205 for details.
• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware
problem in the hand-held.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt, fogging or damage.
6.10 Bluetooth Peripherals
NEOs equipped with Bluetooth radios make it is possible to communicate with a variety of
Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on.
The range of the Bluetooth radio is limited to approximately 10 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS universal handset.
•Bluetooth printer.
•Bluetooth headset.
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band.
Although NEO includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will
not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in
the hand-held at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously—this has a negative
impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g net-
work, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction
rates (such as printers and scanners).
Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 102 for information about setting up your Bluetooth
devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth
device to determine the method used to pair with the NEO host.

•Encryption:WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from acciden-
tally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose Disabled
from the dropdown encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a standard for protecting data through encryp-
tion. AES supports key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits and 256 bits and will serve as a
replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which has a key size of 56 bits. In
addition to the increased security that comes with larger key sizes, the AES algorithm is
a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher)
information.
•Authentication: 802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services:
Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station
can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless
station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the
sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it
recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Important: Keep in mind that NEO will only communicate with access points that are
configured with the same SSID.
Appendix B: Wireless Zero Config
Wireless Information
Psion Teklogix NEO Hand-Held Computer User Manual B-5
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret
shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network
communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required.
For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a preshared key. For wireless net-
works with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and
RADIUS is supported.
•Network Key: This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the

•Enable 802.1x authentication: 802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional secu-
rity for local area networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an
Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or
MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is used in conjunction with the 802.1X standard to
authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the dropdown menu
next to the EAP option.
To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check the checkbox.

Assigning An IP Address
•EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol): This dropdown menu lists the EAP
types available on your system. The items in this dropdown menu will vary depending
on your network setup. Keep in mind also that some authentication protocols require
that you select a Certificate. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to
select a Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 101 provides a website that out-
lines how to create certificates for your network.
•Saving and exiting the radio setup: Once you’ve completed the configuration, press
[ENTER], or tap on OK.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred
