Imager
Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration
and illumination adjustments based on ambient light before capturing the bar code.
If the adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before
another image is captured.
Fast Converge
Note: “Auto Exposure” must be set to ‘on’ in order for this parameter
to function.
Keep in mind that while this parameter can improve imager performance,
“Fast Converge” increases battery power consumption.
Setting this parameter to on speeds the “Auto Exposure” process. It allows the
imager to rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding ideal
values for gain, integration and illumination.
Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination
Important: These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel.
These parameters represent internal values used by the 2D imager. The “Auto
Exposure” parameter automatically adjusts the “Max Gain”, “Max Integration” and
“Max Illumination” parameters to produce the best bar code read. Keep in mind that
“Auto Exposure” must be set to on in order for these parameter values to be
automatically adjusted.
Double-tapping on any of these parameters displays an associated dialog box in
which an allowable range is displayed: Max Gain – 357 to 7920, Max Integration –
0 to 65535, Max Illumination – 0 to 7.
Decoder Timeout
The decoder is a set of algorithms that examine the image and attempt to find the bar
codes, and then turn the pixels into data that the computer can use—this process
takes time. “Decoder Timeout” limits the amount of time the decoder will spend
attempting to decode an image, and forces it to stop and grab a new image, which
will probably be easier to decode.
Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to
‘Decoder Timeout’ should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the
Chapter 5: Configuration
Imager
194 WORKABOUT PRO G2 Hand-Held With Windows Embedded CE 5.0 User Manual
first.
Adaptive Windowing
“Adaptive Windowing” is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code
recognition in certain applications. This parameter automatically reduces the size of
the window to the user-programmed window size when it successfully decodes
(which reduces decode time the next time it is used), but increases it to the full size
window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode.
Note: This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how
the device operates in your application, and that, after a learning period,
operators will get used to using the imager in one particular way. It also
assumes that a trained operator will usually only have near miss scenar-
ios.
Constant Illumination
“Constant Illumination” is used to reduce the intrusiveness of the device’s
illumination on the observer. Instead of the illumination turning on and off every
time the device attempts a decode (2-4 times per second), the illumination stays on
from the time the trigger is pulled until a decode is successful. This feature is useful
in low light environments, since it will also reduce the distraction that the
illumination can have on nearby co-workers.

Addendum
An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code.
This parameter provides three options: Disabled, Optional and Required.
Depending on the value chosen for this parameter, an addendum is recognized
or ignored.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
When “Addendum” is set to Disabled, the scanner does not recognize an
addendum. If this parameter is set to Optional, the scanner searches for
an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the
parameter is set to Required, the scanner does not accept the main bar code
without an addendum.
Note: Setting “Addendum” to ‘Optional’ reduces performance. It should only
be chosen if at least some of the bar codes being read have addendums.

5.11.6.1 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, double-clicking 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 hand-held following a
double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert.
The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
5.11.6.2 Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan
appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful
decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is
released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display
whenever the scanner is activated.
Scan Result Time (sec)
The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long
the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in
seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this
option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.

Options
202 WORKABOUT PRO G2 Hand-Held With Windows Embedded CE 5.0 User Manual
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 hand-held 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.

5.11.7.1 Case Rules
The case rules are defined as follows:
• No rule – ignored.
• Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that
this rule cannot fail.)
• Match at index – matches the match string at a specified index.
• Match and replace at index – matches the match string at a specified index
and replaces/changes it.
• Replace at index – replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.
• Add barcode prefix/suffix – adds a global prefix or suffix.
• Verify barcode size – verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally
be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules.
Note: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken
into account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code
size is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change
the size are applied.
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan
log file (see “Scan Log File” on page 202) when enabled. This is useful if a case
fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing.
5.12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Setup
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and
manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP).
SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an
SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of
MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.
All Psion Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB—a MIB that
defines some common features across Psion Teklogix products.

The Vehicle Cradle
6.8 The Vehicle Cradle
The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides
quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the WORKABOUT PRO G2 securely
even when operated in high vibration environments.
Depending on the type of hand-held unit you are use, you can choose from the
following powered vehicle cradle models:
• Vehicle Cradle for WORKABOUT PRO C G2 – WA1010-G1
• Vehicle Cradle for WORKABOUT PRO S G2 – WA1110-G1
A port replicator option is available for powered vehicle cradles. Refer to “The Port
Replicator” on page 238 for details.
6.8.1 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 improp-
erly 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 consider-
ation, 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: Support Ser-
vices And Worldwide Offices). 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.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts
on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.
To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the
bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to
allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance
at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the
detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a
mounting location.

6.8.1.1 Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
6.8.2 Wiring Guidelines
Before installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their
desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other
potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may
damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
6.8.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your WORKABOUT PRO G2 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these
accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is
no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO G2 into the cradle, and press firmly down-
ward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the
WORKABOUT PRO G2 to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove the unit, press firmly on the RELEASE button on the front face
of the unit until it releases from it latch. The hand-held will be slightly
raised so that it can be removed.
6.8.4 Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the WORKABOUT PRO G2 firmly in place.
Although these latches are designed for robustness and endurance, they will wear
over time and will no longer lock the hand-held securely in the cradle. For
replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is
required.

Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
6.8.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
Warning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered
cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage,
ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry
location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an
appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector
must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing
an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create
a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.
Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require
special consideration.
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure
that the powered cradle power supply cable connector is not accessible to the
vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or other liquids. This can be
accomplished in one of the following ways:
• Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle,
away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a
sealed housing).
• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material.
• Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out
of the vehicle operators reach.
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be
followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the
powered cradle.
6.8.6 Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
The powered cradle is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to be
powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the hand-held is also recharged
by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources ranging from 10 to
55V, with optional pre-regulator.
The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.
Warning: Applying a voltage greater than that specified or reversing or
reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle
power option and will void the product warranty.

6.8.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
A 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your
powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum
10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A
(less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors
or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black
lead connects to the negative supply–this should be connected to a proper terminal
block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used
with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is
preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch–that is, it cannot be turned
on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for
long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the
switch.
Keep in mind that the WORKABOUT PRO G2 will continue to operate with or
without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be
added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the
cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
6.8.7 The Port Replicator
The port replicator (Model# WA4005-G1) is an optional accessory that allows
tethered devices as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh
scales) to be attached to the vehicle cradle. The replicator can be used with or
without the cradle power option.

interfaces as well as one Type B USB port (for connecting a Host device).
6.9 Bluetooth Peripherals
The WORKABOUT PRO G2 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it is
possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including
GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on.
The range of the Bluetooth radio is limited to approximately 5 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS universal handset
• Bluetooth printer
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz
band. Although the WORKABOUT PRO G2 includes features to minimize
interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios
simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same
time, they cannot transmit simultaneously–this has a negative impact on overall
system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11g network,
Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction
rates (such as printers and scanners).
Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 111 for information about setting up your Blue-
tooth devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your

WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK (WWAN)
B.1 Wireless WAN
Psion Teklogix offers a quad band, GPRS radio – Model Number RA3030-G2; a WORK-
ABOUT PRO G2 equipped with a GSM/GPRS radio has wide area networking capabilities.
B.1.1 Taskbar Icons
Wireless WAN icons in the taskbar indicate the status of your wide area network connection.
Note that these icons are only visible when a GSM/GPRS radio is installed in the computer,
and the interface is enabled.
The letter in the signal strength icon (G for GSM/GPRS) indicates that a packet data service
is available and initialized. Keep in mind that the signal strength icon is displayed without a
letter if packet data service is not available or if it is available but not yet initialized.
User interaction is required (e.g. the user is required to enter a PIN).
A non-recoverable (fatal) error has occurred.
The modem status is unknown or the modem is not connected to any network (the signal
strength is 0%).
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 1% and 20%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 21% and 40%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 41% and 60%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 61% and 80%.
The modem has found a network, and the signal strength is between 81% and 100%.
A GPRS packet data connection is active, the signal strength is between 41% and 60% and
GSM.GPRS packet service is available.
The signal strength icon is replaced by a connection indicator icon when a packet data con-
nection is started.
A GPRS packet data connection is active.
In addition to the signal strength or connection indicator a second icon may be shown:

Establishing A Connection
Note: If you are prompted to enter a PIN, refer to “Entering A PIN Number” on
page 4 for details.
When “Ready to connect” is displayed in the Status field, the Connect Data button is
enabled.
• Tap on the Connect Data button.
The progress of the connection is tracked in the Status field.
• PPP link to modem active.
• Authenticating user.
• User authenticated.
• Connected.
Note: Keep in mind that these states may be displayed fairly quickly if the
progress of the connection is rapid.
When the connection state reaches PPP link to modem active, the taskbar icon changes to indi-
cate an active connection. The Connect Data button changes
to Disconnect.
Disconnecting From A Network
To disconnect from the network:
• Tap the stylus on the Disconnect button, and then on OK.
When the computer’s network connection is severed, the Status field displays “Ready to
connect”.
The signal strength is displayed in the main Wireless WAN screen, even while a connection
is active. The Rx bytes and Tx bytes fields estimate the amount of data transmitted and
received, respectively.
Shutting Down The Wireless WAN User Interface
While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this by
tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command at the bottom of the main Wire-
less WAN dialog box
Note: Once you’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio
by opening the Control Panel and tapping on the Wireless WAN icon to
display the Wireless WAN dialog box.

B.1.3 Advanced Information
In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your computer, setup is
automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading “Establishing A Connection” on
page 2 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup purposes.
Entering A PIN Number
If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed.
• Type your PIN, and press [ENTER].
Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is
brought to the foreground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number.
Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to
perform a GSM network registration followed by a GPRS attach.
The main Wireless WAN dialog box reflects the progress of the initialization.
• Searching for modem
• Initializing modem
•SIM is ready
• Searching for network
• Registered on network
• Searching for GPRS
• Ready to connect
If the modem loses the connection to the GSM network, the following states are repeated:
Searching for network, Registered on network, Searching for packet data, and Ready to con-
nect.
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.
WORKABOUT PRO G2 Hand-Held With Windows Embedded CE 5.0 User Manual B-5
Appendix B: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
Tools Menu
• 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.
B.1.4 Tools Menu
The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional, advanced
setup features.

WWAN Data Configuration
Enable Automatic Connect
If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wire-
less 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 Wire-
less 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.
WORKABOUT PRO G2 Hand-Held With Windows Embedded CE 5.0 User Manual B-7
Appendix B: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
Tools Menu
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 applica-
tion closes the GPRS 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).
Notes: 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, auto-
matic 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 corre-
sponding 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 B.3 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).
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.

Advanced IP
Figure B.4 Assigning IP Information
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 server.
Security Configuration
The Security Configuration dialog box is accessed through the Tools menu. The Secu-
rity 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.

Tools Menu
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 net-
works (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 avail-
able 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 identi-
fier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code) is dis-
played.
Notes: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other net-
works 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 net-
work found’, ‘GPRS not available’ or ‘GPRS not allowed’.

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 develop-
ment, 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 check-
box 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 auto-
matic 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.
Modem Information
The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited, they only display information about the com-
puter’s modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’s phone number into his
SIM, the Phone: field remains empty. If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial
modem information may be available.

SMS Menu
B.1.5 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.
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.
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.
Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Region and
Language menu in Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take
effect the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened.
The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message
can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox

message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above,
except the destination phone number is filled in already.
Outbox
Tapping on the Outbox button opens the list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox
behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent is
not available for GSM modems.
SMS Configuration
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.
B.2 Power Mode
The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power menu in the Control Panel
(not through the Wireless WAN user interface).
For CF Card modems, the settings are found under the Devices tab. If the checkbox for a
modem is unchecked then no power is applied to the modem and no driver is loaded (neither
the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is checked then power is
applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the computer is turned on. Power is
removed from the modem when the computer enters suspend mode.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2002/96/EC
This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC.

http://www.psionteklogix.com/EnvironmentalCompliance
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met
in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in
Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The
“Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the max-
imum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and
flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only
products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the
market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products,
Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the
battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the
charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per
the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that
does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the
EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to
physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.
Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-
to-date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein;
these changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication.
Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes

notice, and shall not be responsible for any damages, including but not lim-
ited to consequential damages, caused by reliance on the material presented,
including but not limited to typographical errors.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including

Warning: TO PREVENT the battery from leaking acid, generating heat
or exploding, adhere to precautions below.
• The battery incorporates built-in safety devices. To ensure their
proper function, do not disassemble or alter any parts of the battery.
• Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting any of the
exposed terminals with metal objects such as wire. Do not transport
or store the battery together with metal objects such as necklaces,
hair pins, etc.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode or release
toxic materials and cause burns.
• Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source such as a fire
or heater.
• Do not immerse the battery in water.
• When charging, use the battery charger specifically designed for the
battery.
• Do not pierce, strike, throw or step on the battery.
• Do not directly solder the battery.
• Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet, vehicle
cigarette lighter, etc.
• Do not put battery into a microwave oven or pressurized
container.
• Do not use the battery in combination with primary batteries (such as
dry-cell batteries) or batteries of different capacities or brands.
• Immediately remove the battery from the device or battery charger
and stop use if the battery gives off an odour, generates heat,
becomes discoloured or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal
during use.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the
specified charge time.
• The battery may burst or ignite if the battery leaks. Always ensure
that it is away from any exposed flames.
• If leaking electrolyte sprays into your eyes, rinse them with clean
running water, and immediately seek medical attention.
