Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Switching The Ikôn Off
Note: If the unit was already in use—the unit may be off (suspend state)—pressing
[ENTER] ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working
prior to the suspend state is displayed. “GPS” on page 104 describes how you can
assign other ‘wakeup’ keys or enable a two-key ‘power on’ sequence.
Important: If your Ikôn fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting
options:
The battery capacity may be too low (capacity < 100mAh), it may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion Teklogix battery may be installed, or the
battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See
“Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup” on page 102
for details.
If you provide AC power to an Ikôn, and either the battery capacity is too
low or the battery is overheated, a yellow LED will flash and the unit will
not switch on. To switch on the PDA, you will need to replace the overheated battery or, in the case of a depleted battery, wait for the capacity to
reach an acceptable level.
However, if you supply AC power to an Ikôn with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the PDA will switch on.
2.3.3
Switching The Ikôn Off
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the Ikôn 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.
•

The Battery
3.1
The Battery
The Ikôn operates with a Lithium Ion battery pack, Model No. CH3000. Preparing the unit
for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the Ikôn.
3.1.1
Battery Safety
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that
you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference
guide entitled Ikôn Rugged PDA Regulatory & Warranty Guide Regulatory
& Warranty Guide, PN 8000148.
3.1.2
Removing The Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove
the battery.
Refer to “Installing The Battery” on page 11.
3.1.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is
replaced within this time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to
the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Flash Disk”
partition of the file system.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the
battery capacity at which the Ikôn 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 Ikôn shuts
off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period
of time.
Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual
31
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn
Charging The Battery
Important: Since there are some circuits that draw power directly from the battery, the
Ikôn can not run if the battery is low (capacity < 100mAh), even when
external power is present. If you try to turn the Ikôn on, you will see a
blinking yellow LED, but it will not turn on unless the battery status
changes within the next 30 seconds (battery charges up, battery is swapped
for a different one, etc.).
You will also get this blinking yellow LED and a refusal to wake up if the
battery is too hot (>60C°).
Refer to “Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup” on page 102 for details about
reserving battery power for data backup purposes.
3.1.3
Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
3.1.3.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Appendix 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
•
AC wall adaptor (Model No. CH3110) operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
• Desktop Docking Station (Model No. CH4000) operates as both a charger and a
docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the Ikôn and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station (Model No. CH4004) can charge the battery of up to four Ikôns
inserted in the docking station.
Normally it takes 2.5 to 3 hours to charge a battery. The Ikôn intelligent charging system
protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery
is at maximum capacity.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 43 for additional information about the battery.

Activating Modifier Keys
3.2.3.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the
bottom of the Ikôn screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed
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 90 for details.
3.2.3.2 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.
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.
3.2.4
The Keys
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the
symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha
key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated
symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.
If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than
the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.
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, pressing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.

The Numeric Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys
The [BKSP] Key
The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one
character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application-dependent. Note that these keys are only available on numeric keypads that are not
equipped with [Talk] and [End] phone keys; however, you can access the [CTRL] key using
the onscreen, soft keyboard.
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.
The [SCAN] Keys
All units are equipped with three yellow [SCAN] keys—one yellow key on the left side of
the unit along with two yellow triangular keys just below the Ikôn display. For units that do
not have internal scanners, this key can be re-mapped to another function.
The Function Keys–[F1] to [F10]
Function keys [F1] to [F10] perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are accessed by pressing [BLUE] followed by numeric keys [1] to [10]. They can be used with the
Windows CE operating system or another application.
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 94 for details about mapping keys.
For details about creating a macro, refer to “Keyboard Macro Keys” on page 91.

The Numeric Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys
first press the [ORANGE] key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed.
Choosing A Single Alpha Character
The examples below illustrate how to access, A, B, and C, all of which are printed in orange
characters above the numeric key [2].
Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual indicator of
which letter will be displayed on the screen.
To choose the letter a:
•
Press the [ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2].
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key,
you may want to lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [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 [ORANGE] key twice to
lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details.
To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:
•
Lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’. ORG KEY is displayed in upper-case characters in the
taskbar to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.
• Press numeric key [2] twice to display the letter b.
To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c:
•
•
Lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’.
Press numeric key [2] three times to display the letter c.
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
[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.
Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
•
Press the [ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the alpha character.

Storing Batteries
As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered 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 extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the Ikôn battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
3.5.1
The display backlight is a large drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low
as possible.
The Ikôn 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.
The battery is 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 Ikôn is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues 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.
Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
44
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 temperatures 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’ Li-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
3.6
Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your Ikôn before performing data uploads.
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
Note: Refer to “CH4004 Quad Docking Station” on page 227 for more details.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC
or server.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connections to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When an Ikôn is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.
3.7
Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on Ikôn Rugged PDA units. Keep in mind
also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a
single unit.
The Ikôn is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short
range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to
use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other
Bluetooth devices and providing network access. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 111
for setup details.
You can also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset.

General Maintenance
3.9.1
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. 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.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (CH6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically
extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are
easily removed and replaced.
3.9.2
Cleaning The Ikôn
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the unit clean.
•
•
•
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the Ikôn.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is
susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and
gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 60).
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.

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 Remapping 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/contrast, 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
94
Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual
Chapter 5: Configuration

key presses that occur when the [BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key
presses that occur when the [ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping menu
accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping menu displays the scancodes in hexadecimal.
If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column
labelled ‘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).

This dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or

Suspend Timeout
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 backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 84).
When the Ikôn 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 Ikôn 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 Ikôn 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 the Ikôn is in suspend state, the network connection will not be
broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network
connection.

5.5.5.3
Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup
The Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the battery
drains. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the Ikôn 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 Ikôn shuts 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 will reserve approximately 20% of the
battery capacity for memory backup. Once the battery is drained, the system
RAM memory is lost and the unit must boot.
In most real-time transaction environments this is not a problem (it only
takes a few seconds to boot). Batch transaction environments, where data is
not saved to a non-volatile memory (such as an SD FLASH card), may
need to pay particular attention to this parameter. Psion Teklogix does not
recommend the storage of any valuable data in system RAM.
The Ikôn 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 recommends keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to
maximize battery run time.
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that has been reserved or set
aside to protect data until a charged battery can be installed in the Ikôn. When the battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend
Threshold menu, the Ikôn shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the
102

data stored on the Ikôn. Once the Ikôn shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh
battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.
•
Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity
reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.
• Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for
backup purposes; this increases the Ikôn’s operating time—the amount of time the Ikôn
will operate before shutting down—but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes
to a minimum of 24 hours.
Internal super-capacitors will protect the data stored in the Ikôn while the battery is swapped
for a fully charged one.
Important: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitors will preserve the data
stored on the Ikôn for approximately 5 minutes. It is critical that you install
a charged battery before this time elapses.

5.5.7.1
In the Manage Triggers screen you’ll see a list of trigger mappings.
Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or
application, the module(s)—sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)”—of the trigger
source. Along with keyboard keys, the external trigger (scan button), or software-based.
When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is
sent a message.
Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1]
cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger
type is different.
A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key
data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is
used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to
applications.
Double-Click
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between
0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger-Press Type” on page 109.
Show All Modules
By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or
applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this
checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.

Manage Triggers
Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers)—for
example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially
with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID
File System.
Add Key
Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to
this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog will pop up and allow you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source.
Trigger-Press Type
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally,
when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to
the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a
“trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released,
and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will have occurred. If a mapping with the
type Up/Down has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set
of trigger events.
Module Trigger
This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses.

Bluetooth Setup
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended
for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a short-range radio link that
operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does
not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.
Note: The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.
The Bluetooth radio is disabled by default. Before you begin the setup process:
• In the Control Panel, tap on the Power icon.
• Tap on the Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth. Tap on OK.
When the radio is enabled, a Bluetooth icon appears the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
It is ready for setup.

Wait for the Ikôn 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.
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
be retrieved.
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 highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.
Services
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 menu list, and then click on
the Services button or double-click on the device entry.
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.
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.
Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is
RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed except for
debugging purposes.
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 menu, or you
can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.
Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise the PIN
authentication will fail.
• Highlight a device, click on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN.
You will receive a message, either that the PIN has been successfully validated or that it has
been rejected.
If the PIN has been validated, an asterisk (*) appears in the PIN column in the Devices list
box, indicating that this device has a PIN set. Once a PIN is entered, it is saved in
the registry.
To remove the PIN:
• Choose Set PIN, and press [ENTER].
If the Ikôn attempts to connect to a remote device that has Authentication enabled and does
not have a required PIN set, an Authentication Request dialog box appears.
