2.2.1
Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10
Battery Safety
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 ‘EP10 Hand-Held Regulatory & Warranty Guide’,
PN 8000235.
2.2.2
Removing the Battery Pack
Important: Always shut down the EP10 before removing the battery. To safely remove the
battery, press and hold down the Power button until the ‘Shutdown’ screen is
displayed. Choose ‘Shutdown’ and tap on OK.
Keep in mind also that all EP10s are equipped with internal super-capacitors
that will save the current data for up to 5 minutes while the battery
is swapped.
Refer to “Preparing the EP10 for Operation” on page 13 for more details about removing
and installing the battery.
2.2.3
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is approximately 5 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.
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the
EP10 will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the EP10 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 EP10 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 and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 142 for details about
reserving battery power for data backup purposes.)
2.2.4
Charging the Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.

Charging the Battery
Preliminary Draft
Note: Do not leave a spare battery to charge for more than 72 hours. Charging for more
than 72 hours may damage the battery or lead to charge capacity reduction.
Important: If the battery is overheated (>60° C) or if the battery capacity is very low
(<100 mAh), the unit will not switch on when the Power key is pressed.
Under the above conditions, when AC power is applied, the EP10 will still
refuse to power up; instead, a yellow LED will begin blinking and until the
battery is replaced, or in the case of low battery capacity, the battery is
charged to an acceptable level, the EP10 will not switch on.
Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the EP10 is equipped with internal, supercapacitors that preserves data stored on the EP10 for a short period of time while the battery
is swapped.
2.2.4.1 Chargers and Docking Stations
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on
page 215.
Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:

2.3.3
Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], and [BLUE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key
changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a QWERTY keyboard, the
‘@’ symbol is printed in blue on the [A] key. Pressing the [BLUE] key, a modifier key, followed by the [A] key displays the ‘@’ symbol rather than the letter A.
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.
Note: Keep in mind that the [ALT] and [CTRL] keys are only available on keypads that are not equipped with phone keys. You can, however, access the [CTRL]
key using the onscreen, soft keyboard.
2.3.3.1 Activating Modifier Keys & the Shift-State Indicator
When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the
softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft
keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon.

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 are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor
around the screen–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 [BKSP/DEL] 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 [DEL] key ([BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.
The [ALT] and [CTRL] Keys
The [ALT] and [CTRL] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application
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.
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 [SCAN] Keys
The EP10 is equipped with two [SCAN] keys located on the keyboard just below the display
along with [SCAN] buttons situated on the left and right sides of the hand-held. [SCAN]

Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time
2.7
Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time
Note: When the battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘low battery’ warning is displayed. When the
battery is at about 10% capacity, a ‘very low battery’ notification bubble appears.
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 EP10 at temperature
extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the EP10 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
•
The display backlight is a large drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low
as possible.
• The EP10 is ‘event’ driven – that is, when it is not in use, the EP10 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 EP10 to sleep as much as possible.
• The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence.
Tapping on the Power icon under Start>Settings>System tab displays a dialog box that provides detailed information about the battery status of the battery installed in your EP10.
•
2.7.1
When the EP10 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
EP10 is left in suspend state for more than a week – for long-term storage, the battery
should be removed.
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 temperatures between 0° C and 20° C.
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.

Uploading Data in a Docking Station
•
2.8
Preliminary Draft
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
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your EP10 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 “Chargers and Docking Stations” on page 223 for more details.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
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 EP10 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in
the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The EP10 also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.

Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on EP10 units. Keep in mind also that
Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a single EP10.
The EP10 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. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 180 for setup details.

• Turn your headset on and place it within a few feet of your EP10.
• If needed, set your headset to visible so that the EP10 can detect it and establish a
connection.
Most headsets are in pairing mode by default. If this is not the case, follow the headset manufacturer’s instructions to place the headset in pairing mode.
•
• Tap on Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth icon.
• In the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Wait for the EP10 to scan for devices.

page 75.
2.12
General Maintenance
2.12.1 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 (model number CH6110TBD). 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.

•
•
•
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the EP10 unit.
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 or touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Browsing Web Sites
You can connect to Internet Explorer in two ways: by connecting the EP10 directly to the Internet or by connecting through your PC while the EP10 is attached via ActiveSync (see
“ActiveSync®” on page 59).
4.17.1 Browsing Web Sites
There is little difference between the standard Internet Explorer found on your PC and that
found on your EP10, sometimes referred to as Pocket Internet Explorer. You can enter
URLs, set a ‘home page’, turn images on and off, e-mail links to friends, and so on.
To go to a web site:
•
Connect your EP10 to the Internet. (If you’re not certain how to do this, tap on
Start>Internet Explorer to display a blank window. Next, tap on Start>Help and
follow the steps listed.)
• Tap on Start>Programs>Internet Explorer to open Internet Explorer.

Messaging
4.18
Preliminary Draft
Messaging
Note: Messaging is available from the Start menu by default. If you prefer it only be
accessed from the Programs window, tap on Start>Settings, tap on the Menus icon
and uncheck Messaging.
The Messaging program is used to send and receive e-mail on your EP10. To send and
receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3
(POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception –
Outlook e-mail accounts are set up by default.
4.18.1 Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your EP10. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize
additional folders. The folders and messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between
the messages on the EP10 and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will recognize that the messages are missing from the EP10 Inbox
folder and delete them from the server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind
however that you will not have further access to messages that you moved to folders from
anywhere except with the EP10.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the
server, making messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from
your EP10 or your PC.
4.18.2 Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook
By synchronizing the EP10 Messaging program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is
available on both the EP10 and on your PC.
Note: Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the EP10 have an independent connection to the Internet.

Once you check E-mail for synchronization, Outlook e-mail messages are synchronized as
part of the general synchronization process. The next time you synchronize with ActiveSync, the e-mail in Outlook on your PC will be transferred to the Messaging program on
your EP10.

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/Power] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.

Scancode Remapping
Preliminary Draft
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 [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 tab.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the Scancodes in hexidecimal.
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).

area such as a tunnel where satellite coverage is interrupted, it will attempt to predict the
vehicle position.
Pedestrian profile is designed for those using the GPS module while walking. It takes
into account the slower pace of the pedestrian when mapping the location of the user.
When the GPS module is set to this profile and the operator moves into an area where
satellite coverage is interrupted, the GPS module will not attempt to predict the operator’s movement.

AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) Tab
To determine your location, a GPS module receives data from three or more GPS satellites
in fixed orbit around the Earth. The GPS module triangulates your location based on the
time it takes for signals to get to and from the satellites. This works well in fairly clear areas
– outdoors, for example. However, if you’re attempting to triangulate your location in city
centres where signals bounce off tall concrete buildings or from within a building, the GPS
module will have greater difficulty calculating a fix.
AGPS reduces Time To First Fix (TTFF) and increases the likelihood of finding and keeping
a fix in poor coverage areas such as indoor sites. AGPS downloads satellite ephemeris (orbital) data to the EP10 periodically through WiFi or WWAN. The downloaded data is used
by the GPS module to speed the process of getting a fix.
Update
Click on the Update button to download Extended Ephemeris (EE) files from a secure
host on the internet using any interface that has an internet connection (WWAN or
WiFi). These files contain several days worth of ephemeris (orbital) data that can be
used if the satellite’s broadcast ephemeris is not available.
The Status field above the Update button displays the progress of the download, and once
successfully downloaded, the Status field will read Idle.

Trigger Mappings
•
Preliminary Draft
Tap on Start>Settings>System tab>Manage Triggers icon.
5.23.1 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, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers 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 136.

Trigger Mappings
Preliminary Draft
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.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer).
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 box pops up, allowing 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 occur. If a mapping with the Up/down
type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of
trigger events.
Module to Trigger
This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses.

Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup
5.26.6 Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that has been reserved or set
aside to protect data until a fully charged battery can be installed in the EP10. When the
battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the
Suspend Threshold tab, the EP10 shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the EP10. Once the EP10 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 EP10’s operating time – the amount of time the
EP10 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 EP10 while the depleted battery
is swapped for a fully charged one.
•
Important: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitors will preserve the data
stored on the EP10 for approximately 5 minutes. It is critical that you install
a charged battery before this time elapses.

5.33.2 Options Tab
This tab allows you to tailor the double-click parameters and the display options associated
with your scanner.
5.33.2.1 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 considered 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-clicking 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, doubleclicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan.
Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent
to the application installed in your EP10 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.

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.
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.
Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the EP10 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.

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. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a
10 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a
radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.

The modem is not allowed to use packet data on the current network (e.g. no packet data
roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place).
It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for packet data at all.

The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a reset may be required.
• SIM failure
The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered too
many times). A new SIM is needed.
• Modem failure
The modem did not respond to commands as expected. If a reset does not clear this condition, the modem may need to be replaced.
• NDIS error
An internal software error has occurred. If a reset does not clear this condition, Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further.
5.44.5 Tools Menu
The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced
setup features.
5.44.5.1 Data Connection Configuration
Enable Automatic Connect
If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless
WAN user interface will attempt to establish a packet data connection whenever packet data
is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction).
To activate the automatic connection mode:
•
Tap on the OK button.

Preliminary Draft
While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless
LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto.
To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode:
•
Tap on Disable Auto.
Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than
the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected to
open and close connections.
If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes
the packet data connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try
to re-establish the connection.
Use Virtual Serial Port
If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the
virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly. This
checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network)
clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled
(unchecked).
Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port.
Enable Automatic Configuration
In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the
same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is
detected (this may require a reset). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database.
Manual configuration should be necessary only if:
•
•
•
•

One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the
database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)
An operator has assigned individual packet data user names and passwords.
A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be
configured manually.
A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be
configured manually.

Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available – connections must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access
number must be entered (typically “#777”).
In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such
as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a profile. Every
profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in
that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is presented on the page following.) The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database.
The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While
there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time.
If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration:
checkbox should normally be unchecked.
In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic
configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being
from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured
profile for each SIM card. For this to work each profile has to be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM is
ready).
The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which profile a
subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present and contains the
current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:
•
•
•
•
Show – The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap on this
button. For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown – otherwise, the
password is hidden.
Edit – The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit
button. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile.
Delete – The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile.
Activate – When this button is chosen, the selected profile is made the active profile.
Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is
unchecked.

New – Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile.
The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the
name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a
unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a
secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN
has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box
and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will
be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button
in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected).

Advanced IP – The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog
boxes opens another dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well
as the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers.
5.44.5.2 Security Configuration
The Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu.
Note: Security configuration is not available with CDMA modems.
The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN.
You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in
order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.)
Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be disabled. A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits.
The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. While the checkbox remains unchecked, any PIN entered
on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to
the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is
then used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as
resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in
the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up.

If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox
should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the
PIN is not stored.
5.44.5.3 Network Configuration
Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems.
In the main Wireless WAN screen:
• Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.
By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed
networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the
home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which
you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming
if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign
roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have
packet data roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network
which you know to support packet data roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is
disabled, you must select a network manually.
Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a lengthy operation – a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For
every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is
displayed.
Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have
roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it
does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers packet data.
A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a
network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN
dialog box changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not
available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’.

5.44.5.4 Driver Mode Configuration
By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked).
The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or
in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to
disable the WWAN driver. If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut
down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box tapped.
If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is
closed using the OK button.
Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be
displayed.
Since all currently supported modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port
detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port
can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an internal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM
modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through Bluetooth. An
external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hardware flow control.
5.44.5.5 Modem Information
The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited – they only display information about the
EP10 modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into the

SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called IMEI for GSM
modems and ESN for CDMA modems.
The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier).
Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS
modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval.
If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may
be available.
Modem Power Modes
The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than through the
Wireless WAN user interface.
To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings:
• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon.
• Tap on the Built-in Devices tab.
If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a driver
is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is
checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the EP10 is turned
on. Power is removed from the modem when the EP10 enters suspend mode.
To enable a modem module that is built into the unit:
• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon.
For a modem module that is built into the EP10, the settings can be found under the Built-in
Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes can be selected:
• Disabled – No power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded.
• Enabled – Off in Suspend
Power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the EP10 is turned on.
Power is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode.
• Enabled – Always On
When the EP10 enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered indefinitely.

When the EP10 enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the EP10 is not
turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up from suspend mode,
shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again. The default mode is Enabled Keep on for 1 hour.
At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes where
the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages. When the
EP10 wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network initialization is not required. A packet data session can thus remain active during suspend
mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake up the EP10 if the network status
changes, or there is a new incoming SMS.
5.44.6 SMS Menu
SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card,
the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.

regardless of the setting).
Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus, the validity period is
rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog is
opened, the rounded value is shown.
The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming
message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a
new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is deleted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, messages beginning with
that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way, messages intended
for another application running on the same device can be hidden.

motion will assist in disengaging the rear restraining mechanism.
6.11.3 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Warning: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted
cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator
visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the
operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional
mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If
you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: “Summit Client Utility (SCU)”. Note also that for
better protection, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll
cage.
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal
operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking
joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle,
and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
Important: EP10 vehicle cradles are designed to be compatible with any RAM®-B
mounting interface. For other mounting options please contact our Technical Support offices.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle RAM mount is to use the seven #M4
threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 5mm into the
vehicle cradle. You may also remove the rear Ram-B mount accessory to custom mount the
vehicle cradle to a surface other than the recommended RAM-B (Figure 6.11 on page 241).
6.11.3.1 Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
Refer to the RV1000 EP10 Hand-Held Vehicle Cradle Quick Start Guide (PN 8000234).
In every case, please take the following precautions:
1. When installing the cradle, ensure the driver's view is not obstructed.

Electrical Requirements
Warning: Applying a voltage above 36VDC or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the vehicle cradle power section and will void the product
warranty. For safety reasons, disconnect the vehicle cradle power cable
when the vehicle battery is being charged by an source other than the
vehicle alternator.
6.12.3.1 Wiring Vehicle Power to the Cradle
The Powered Vehicle Cradle uses the vehicle power outlet or the vehicle fuse box to power
from the vehicle battery system. The Vehicle Outlet Power Adaptor (Model No. RV3050) is
used for the vehicle power outlet; the Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) is used for the
vehicle fuse box.
Figure 6.14 Vehicle Outlet Power Adaptor and Power Extension Cable
Warning: A properly trained technician must perform the power connection using
Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) and the RV1005. Improper connection
can damage the vehicle or the cradle.
This cable can be used to provide power to RV1005 from a fused circuit. The
vehicle cradle should be added to a fused circuit with a new maximum load
capacity of the original load plus the cradle load, which is 4A.
Power cables are equipped with fuses and instructions are supplied with each cable. Use
only a 4A slow blow Safety-approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
These cables should only supply operating power from the vehicle to the Powered Vehicle
Cradle from 12VDC or 24VDC systems.

USB and Serial Connections
•
•
The Powered Vehicle Cradle draws no more than 1.9 A @ 12 VDC or 0.95 A @
24 VDC. Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at
least 4A. The Powered Vehicle Cradle and peripherals can be used with both negative
ground systems when using the Power Extension cable. Peripheral wiring should be
closely examined to avoid ground loops in positive ground systems.
There is the option of connecting power to the cradle before or after the ‘key’ switch.
- It is preferable to wire after the key switch. In this configuration, when the key is
turned ON, the vehicle will power the cradle and docked EP10, charging the internal
battery when needed. When the vehicle ignition is OFF, the EP10 docked in the
cradle will run on its internal battery.
- However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a
shift, it may make more sense to wire the vehicle cradle before the switch. In this
case, the EP10 will always operate from vehicle power and that power will charge the
battery when needed.
- Keep in mind that the EP10 will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as
long as the internal battery has sufficient charge.
6.12.4 USB and Serial Connections
Important: Depending on the configuration, the RV1005 Powered Vehicle Cradle has
up to three data connectors and one power connector.
The Powered Vehicle Cradle full configuration consists of two serial DE-9M ports and one
USB Type A port located at the base of the product. These are COM and USB ports that
allow the communication of serial and USB devices with the EP10. These ports are:
•
•
•
One powered USB A (Host).
One full Serial port.
One Serial port that provides power over pin 9. This port is located nearest the front
LED and is marked as COM 6 in Figure 6.15.

use with the EP10 and the cradle.
6.12.5 Using the Vehicle Cradle
If your EP10 is equipped with a shoulder strap or protective cover, these accessories need to
be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove hand
straps or tethered devices from the unit.
•
•
Slide the EP10 into the cradle, and press firmly downward to the point where resistance
is met. Press the EP10 down through the resistance until it bottoms in the cradle – the
locks on the latches will engage. This can be one smooth motion if you wish. Electrical
contact will not be made until the EP10 is fully inserted. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to
pull up on the EP10 to be certain that it is secure.
To remove the unit, push the latches upwards – the EP10 will be released so that it can
be removed.
6.12.6 Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle

EA11 Imager
•
•
6.13
To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol.
The two-lock assembly in the Powered Vehicle Cradle holds the EP10 firmly in place.
Although this mechanism is designed for at least 20,000 cycles, it will wear over time
and will no longer lock the EP10 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and
instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required.
EA11 Imager
The EP10 hand-held supports the EA11 Decoded 2D imager. This imager can be configured
using the Scanner Settings located under Settings>System>Teklogix Scanners (see “Scanner
Settings” on page 150) and the Manage Triggers application (see “Manage Triggers” on
page 133).
It is critical that you review the safety information in the “EP10 Hand-Held Regulatory &
Warranty Guide”, PN 8000235 before proceeding.
6.13.1 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers
An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can
find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree
angle to the EP10 will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are
within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are
within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded
bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then
issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the
field of view of the scanner.
Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise
may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode
the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the EP10.

249
Preliminary Draft
Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Bluetooth Peripherals
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic
coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing
at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the
bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to decode it.
It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady
between flashes to improve decode performance.
•
•
Switch the EP10 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed scan result is obtained.
• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker)
is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field—either in the centre of the bar code
you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to
be scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s)
is taken.
6.14
Bluetooth Peripherals
The EP10 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it possible to communicate with a
variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers and
so on.
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 the EP10 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 EP10 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
network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction
rates (such as printers and scanners).

A.1.3.2 Error States
The following temporary error states (i.e., these states may disappear without interaction)
may be displayed:
•
Emergency calls only.
The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement between networks). The modem keeps searching for another network.
•
No network found.
A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network.
•
Packet data not available.
The current network does not support a packet data service.
•
Packet data not allowed.
The modem is not allowed to use the packet data service on the current network (e.g. no
GPRS roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be
in place). It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for GPRS at all.
The remaining error states are permanent:
•
SIM is missing.
The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a warm boot may be required.
•
SIM failure.
The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered
too many times). A new SIM is needed.
•
Modem failure.
The modem did not respond to commands as expected. If a warm boot does not clear
this condition, the modem may need to be replaced.
•
NDIS error.
An internal software error has occurred. If a warm boot does not clear this condition,
Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further.

If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless
WAN user interface will attempt to establish a GPRS connection whenever GPRS is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction).

To activate the automatic connection mode:
• Tap on the OK button.
While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless
LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto. To close the currently active connection (if any)
and disable the automatic connection mode:
•
Tap on Disable Auto.
Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than
the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected
to open and close connections.
If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes
the GPRS connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try to reestablish the connection.
Use Virtual Serial Port
If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the
virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly.
This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network)
clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled
(unchecked).
Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port.
Enable Automatic Configuration
In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the
same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is
detected (this may require a warm boot). The connection parameters are retrieved from
a database.
Manual configuration should be necessary only if:
•
•
•
One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the
database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)
An operator has assigned individual GPRS user names and passwords.
A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be
configured manually.

•
A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be
configured manually.
Profiles
In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such
as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a ‘profile’.
Every profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special
in that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database. The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is
used for the database look-up. While there can be many configured profiles, only one profile
can be active at any time.
If connection profiles are configured manually, the Enable automatic configuration checkbox should normally be unchecked.
In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic
configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being
from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured
profile for each SIM card. For this to work, each profile must be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM
is ready).
The Select profile: drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects to which profile a
subsequent action applies. A profile named Default is always present and contains the
current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:
Show
The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap the stylus on this button.
For the Default profile, the publicly known password is shown – otherwise, the password
is hidden.
Edit
The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep
in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile.
Delete
The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile.
Activate
When this button is chosen, the selected profile becomes the active profile. Activation is
possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked.

Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile.
Figure A.2 Creating a New Profile
The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the
name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a
unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a
secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN
has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box
and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will
be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button
in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected). If Force PAP authentication (Password
Authentication Protocol) is enabled, a simple authentication protocol is used to authenticate
a user to a remote access server or Internet Service Provider.
Reset
The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to
the values they had when the dialog box was opened.

fields so that you can specify DNS and WINS resolvers.
A.1.4.2 Security Configuration
The Security Configuration dialog box is accessed through the Tools menu. The Security
Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN. You will need
the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in order to be
changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.)
Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be disabled.
A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits.
The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. While this option remains unchecked, any PIN entered on
startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to the
modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is then

used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as resume
after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in the
Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up.
If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox
should be checked. In this case, the PIN is not stored; whenever a PIN is required, you will
be prompted to enter an appropriate value.
A.1.4.3 Network Configuration
In the main Wireless WAN window:
•
Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.
By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed
networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the
home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which
you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming
if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign
roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have
GPRS roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which
you know to support GPRS roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is
disabled, you must select a network manually.
Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a lengthy operation – a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For
every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code)
is displayed.

Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have
roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it
does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers
GPRS.
A status of ‘Forbidden’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a
network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN
dialog box changes to ‘Emergency calls only’, ‘No network found’, ‘GPRS not
available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’.
A.1.4.4 Driver Mode Configuration
By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked).
The driver must be disabled in order to use the modem for anything other than GPRS (e.g.
dial-up data, fax, or in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is
shut down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box is chosen.
If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is
closed using the OK button.
Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can
be displayed.
Since all currently supported GSM modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a
serial port can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used
with an internal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through

SMS Menu
SMS (Short Message Service) functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems
that support a SIM card, the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.
A.1.5.1 New
Tapping on the New button opens a dialog for sending a new SMS message. The recipient's
phone number (to be entered in the To: field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as
the * and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international
number (i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character).
By checking the Store message in Outbox field a new message can be stored in the Outbox
before being sent. If no storage space is available, or the modem does not support the storage
of outgoing messages, then this checkbox is disabled.
A.1.5.2 Inbox
Tapping on the Inbox button opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for
example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted
with the most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by
clicking on the corresponding column heading. Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message
whose address begins with that letter or number.

Tapping on the SMS Configuration button opens the SMS configuration dialog. The SMS
Centre address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message
dialog. The message validity period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message
sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the
message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period
regardless of the setting).
Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus the validity period
is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog
is opened the rounded value is shown.
The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming
message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a
new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is deleted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, then messages beginning
with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way messages intended for another application running on the same device can be hidden from the user, as
long as those messages begin with the string configured here.

Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you doubletap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec,
200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Aim Duration
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

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.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power
mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial
communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger
pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable
for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to
scan a bar code.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a
successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned – a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
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.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and
the EP10 is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not
used.

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 security 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:

APPENDIX
TEKLOGIX IMAGERS APPLET
The Teklogix Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete and activate imager
settings. The principle uses of the applet are to decode bar codes and to capture
images. A Demonstration Application is provided to demonstrates how the imager
works. Refer to “PTSI Imager Demo” on page 69 for details.
D.1
Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers and Teklogix Scanners applets
must be present in the Settings>System tab along with the Teklogix Imagers
applet.
D.2
Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Teklogix
Imagers applet:
•
•
Use a predefined preset.
Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used
whenever possible. Each predefined preset contains a coherent
group of settings that are known to work together in the intended
environment. In almost all situations, at least one of the predefined presets results in a satisfactory outcome.
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific purpose such as bar code decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or
resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom
preset can be created for a specific user application, such as: include only specified bar codes, read only a specified number of bar codes or for reading unusual
media.

Predefined Presets
Preliminary Draft
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
• Imaging for photo capture.
• Imaging for bar code decoding.
• Symbology selection.
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected
active preset.
D.2.1
Predefined Presets
Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The predefined presets allow you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to
understand and set numerous variables. In almost all cases these predefined presets are
sufficient.
D.2.2
Bar Code Predefined Presets
These presets encompass the majority of the most popular bar codes and their subtypes. The
bar code decoding symbology predefined presets define which bar codes can be decoded.
The bar code decoding camera predefined presets determine how the bar code images are
captured
D.2.2.1
Bar Code Decoding Symbology Predefined Presets
The following presets select groups of similar bar codes for decoding.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.
Factory Default
This preset enables the decoding of frequently used bar codes.
My Default
This preset is synchronized with the Teklogix Scanners applet and contains all the symbologies selected using the Teklogix Scanner applet. For details on this synchronization see,
“Configuring Symbologies in the Teklogix Imagers Applet” on page D-17.
All
This preset enables the decoding of all bar codes that the imager can decode. For a description of these symbologies see “Imager” on page C-37.

This preset enables the decoding of all the postal symbologies that the imager can decode.
See “Imager” on page C-37 for a description of these symbologies.
D.2.3
Bar Code Decoding Camera Predefined Presets
The following presets enable successful bar code image capture in almost all conditions.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting
(about 300 Lux).
Low light
This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights
are kept low, or inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the
gain.
Low power
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the EP10.
Glossy surface
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to
read bar codes that are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope.
