Storing Batteries
3.9.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C.
Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be
damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty
battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops
below a lower limit.
To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60%
every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.
A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have
limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries
as perishable goods.
3.10 Monitoring The Network Connection
If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate
with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates
the relative strength of the communication link.
To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:
•
•
•
•
Press <0> to display the Start Menu.
Choose System Tray from the menu.
Use the and arrow keys to highlight the radio signal
icon in the taskbar.
Press to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box.
If you have a touchscreen:
•
Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics
dialogue box.
Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on
a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by
logging in again.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an
Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server
computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7530 is properly inserted in a
docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7530
screen. The 7530 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the
documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 before
preforming data uploads.
3.12 General Maintenance
3.12.1 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:
•
•
•
•
•
mustard,
sodium hydroxide,
concentrated caustic solutions,
benzyl alcohol, and
concentrated miner acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable
screen protector (PN HU6110). 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.

Cleaning The 7530
3.12.2 Cleaning The 7530
Important:
•
•
•
Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is
partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl
alcohol.

Chapter 4: Working With Windows CE
Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut
is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard
shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is
accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed
using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your
7530 is equipped with a touchscreen).
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the
touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 41.
A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7530 equipped with a touchscreen has a
stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7530.
The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen)
supplied with your 7530.
To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
•
Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

Navigating Using The Keyboard
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your 7530 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen), choosing icons and
navigating dialogue boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on requires keyboard
input. If your unit has already been fully configured and your application is
launched at startup, you’ll have little need for keyboard navigation.

Switch State To Suspend
Important:
Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely
affect the battery run time.
To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the
duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 89).
When the 7530 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on)
or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on), the
hand-held uses the value assigned in the Switch State To Suspend field to determine when
the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend field elapses without any activity, the unit enters Suspend
state. In Suspend state, the 7530 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The
state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing wakes the
system from suspend state. When the 7530 is in suspend state, the network
connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must
re-establish the network connection.

Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), 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.
Chapter 5: Conﬁguration
Scanner Options
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), 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.
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.
Scan Beep
This parameter determines whether or not the 7530 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’
when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or
‘OFF’ to disable it.
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.
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.

Scanner Options
Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which
character is sent to the application installed in your 7530 following a double-click.
A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The
ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
Pressing the key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.
Options
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. The
allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0
seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
When enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar
codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the
7530 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for
general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional
decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher
values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve
the reliability of the decoded bar code.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes
(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads,
but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of
30 is generally a good compromise setting.

Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging
scanner is installed. The bar code settings do not affect the operation of internal or
external decoded scanners. These scanners must be configured by scanning special
configuration bar codes. These configuration bar codes affect the communication
speed or data format between the scanner and the 7530 and must not be changed.
The scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration
purposes.

AIAG Strip
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identifier is removed from
each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to
the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of
numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the
general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.
Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this
parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.
This is because the 7530 hand-held performs the strip function before it
processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the
data is not identified as AIAG.
Error Accept
If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label
data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter
is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is
not accepted.
Mod Checks
Mod 43 Check
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 43 check digit is calculated.
Mod 10 Check
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 10 check digit is calculated.
None
If you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed.
Field Size/Chars
Field Size
The field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and
the prefix and suffix characters are added. If the field size is non-zero, only
bar codes of that length are passed through.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
5.8 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 Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that
defines some common features across Teklogix products. All devices also support
MIB-II, a management information base that defines the common features of
TCP/IP networks. The SNMP Agent software embedded in the 7530 product
supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).
