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 Di-
rective (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexava-
lent 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.
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) signi-
fies 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.
Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to-date. In ad-
dition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these changes will be incor-
porated into new editions of the publication.
Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the prod-
uct(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be re-
sponsible for any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages, caused by
reliance on the material presented, including but not limited to typographical errors.
RoHS Logo
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space
limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

2.3 Warrington Hand-Held Computer Features
The Warrington is a compact, ruggedized hand-held running the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
operating system. It is intended for use in commercial and light industrial applications. The
Warrington can be ordered with or without a radio. Without a radio, it operates as a batch or
unconnected computer. With a radio installed, the Warrington operates as a connected com-
puter, delivering real time wireless data transactions. All possible bar code input
methodologies are supported by the scanner and imager available with this hand-held. Opti-
mization for specific operational environments is supported with a wide range of peripheral
options and carrying accessories.
The unique tilted screen design on this hand-held makes the display content readily visible.
It means that the operator can scan a bar code and view the results on the display in one
movement – no need to manually tilt the unit to view the results after each scan. In addition,
the tilted screen in conjunction with the protective rib at the base of the keyboard allows the
unit to be placed facedown safely with no danger of an accidental key press.

Preparing The Warrington Hand-Held For Operation
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 21
3.1 Preparing The Warrington Hand-Held For Operation
3.1.1 The Battery
The Warrington is powered with a 3000 mAh Lithium Ion battery pack – Model No.
WA3006.
3.1.1.1 Charging The Main Battery
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking sta-
tions along with a Warrington internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable
power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter 7: “Pe-
ripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 184.
3.1.2 The Super Capacitor
An onboard super capacitor provides up to 10 minutes of suspend mode backup power to the
Warrington to give you time to swap in a new battery; all unnecessary draws on power such
as the display and CPU are shut down to preserve power.
If the battery pack reaches its Suspend Threshold (refer to “Suspend Threshold” on
page 102) and the hand-held shuts down, the super capacitor will protect the data stored in
the unit until a charged battery pack is installed.
Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety
guidelines in Chapter 1: “Approvals & Safety Summary”.
Important: Before opening the battery cover on your Warrington, press [FN/BLUE]
[ENTER] to turn off the hand-held. Removing the battery while the unit is
running may cause the hand-held to reboot.
Note: If you are powering up a new unit, a warning message may appear on the screen
indicating that the backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the internal battery,
you must fully charge the Warrington with the main battery installed in the unit.
Important: When you initially power up the hand-held, leave the battery in the unit for a
minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.

the original WEP encryption but ‘wraps’ additional code at the beginning and end to
encapsulate and modify it, encrypting each data packet with a unique encryption key.
•Authentication: 802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services:
Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station
can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wire-
less station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of
the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates
whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a se-
cret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless
network communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required.
For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADI-
US) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a preshared key. For wireless networks
with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and RADI-
US is supported.
•Network Key: This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or
an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key
on the access point.

•Enable 802.1x authentication: 802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional
security for local area networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached
to an Ethernet network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as
TLS or MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is used in conjunction with the 802.1X standard
to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed in the dropdown
menu next to the EAP option.
To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check the checkbox.
•EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol): This dropdown menu lists the
EAP types available on your system. The items in this dropdown menu will vary
depending on your network setup. Keep in mind also that some authentication proto-
cols require that you select a Certificate. By selecting the Properties button, you will
be able to select a Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 109 provides a
website that outlines how to create certificates for your network.
6. Saving and exiting the radio setup.
Once you’ve completed the configuration, press [ENTER], or tap
on OK.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred
network. The radio will search for the SSID and will compare the WEP and authentica-
tion information you specified. If there is a match between your hand-held settings and
the access point settings, the hand-held will communicate on the network through the
access point.

Navigating In Windows CE 5.0
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 37
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE 5.0
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE 5.0 for portable devices and desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also
available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE 5.0 supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts
as desktop Windows with one difference—the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished
using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination
of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Each Warrington is equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen—stored in
a slot at the top of the unit. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet, or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your Warrington touchscreen has been disabled, you can use the keyboard to choose
icons, navigate dialog boxes, display the desktop, and so on. If your unit has already been
fully configured and your application is launched at startup, you’ll have little need for key-
board navigation, but you can refer to Table 4.1 for a description of the navigation keys.
Note: In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the security level
must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 45).
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen
may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 65.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your
Warrington.

Battery Swap Time
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 59
For details about unlatching the battery cover, review “Installing The Battery And Switching
The Unit On” on page 22.
5.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al-
tered, battery swap time is a minimum of 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is
replaced within this time frame.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the
battery capacity at which the hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value,
Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM
is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-
held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer
period of time.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 102 for details about reserving battery power for data
backup purposes.
5.2.3 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
5.2.3.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
• AC wall adaptor (Model # PS1050-G1)—operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
• Desktop Docking Station (Model # PX3001)—operates as both a charger and a docking
station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station—(Model # PX3001) can charge the battery of up to four War-
ringtons inserted in the docking station.
It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The Warrington intelligent charging system pro-
tects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Appendix 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.

• To switch the unit off, press [FN/BLUE] [ENTER].
5.4 The Keyboard
Two keyboard options are available:
• 48-key alpha-numeric keyboard. This keyboard is only available with connected hand-
helds – units equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
• 26-key numeric keyboard. This option is available for both variants of Warrington –
connected hand-helds (described above) and unconnected or batch hand-helds not
equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or
key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 70 for addi-
tional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process
until the battery temperature is between 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
Note: If the Warrington is in suspend state, pressing [ENTER] ‘wakes’ the unit from this
state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend
state is displayed.
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the Warrington does not result in a complete
reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
unit is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a
few seconds.

Modifier Keys
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 61
The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the
keyboard keys.
5.4.1 Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.
Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
5.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the
bottom of the hand-held screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is dis-
played at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key
becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
Keep in mind, however, that the ‘One Shot’ function allows you to determine how many key
presses will lock a modifier key ‘on’ – one press or two. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot
Modes” on page 90 for details.
5.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed
in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [CTRL] key twice locks it on –
it is displayed as CTRL KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it
off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
70 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Security Level
Security levels can be set to limit user access. In addition, applications can be restricted to
prevent inadvertent changes.
5.7 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally con-
sidered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity
remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature ex-
tremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the Warrington 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 the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low
as possible.
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven—that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep
mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key
press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid
unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence.
Tapping on the Power icon in the Control Panel displays a dialog box that provides
detailed information about the battery status of the main battery installed in your unit.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but contin-
ues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless
the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week—for long-term storage, the battery
should be removed from the unit.
5.7.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
Note: When the main battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘low battery’ warning is displayed.
When the battery is at approximately 10% capacity, a ‘very low main battery’ noti-
fication appears.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 71
• Lithium Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at tem-
peratures between 0 °C and 20 °C (32 °F and 68 °F).
• Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be
damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored
for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6
months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ 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.
5.8 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When a Warrington is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the
navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.
5.9 Bluetooth Radio
The Bluetooth radio enables short range data communication between devices. In addition,
it provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, ex-
changing information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. You can
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your Warrington before performing data uploads.
Note: Refer to “Desktop Docking Station” on page 186 for more details.
Note: Integrated Bluetooth Class II radios are standard on ‘connected’ Warringtons –
that is, units equipped with 802.11 radios. On ‘unconnected’ or batch units, Blue-
tooth is an optional feature.

A microSD card slot is available in the battery compartment. MicroSD cards provide addi-
tional, non-volatile memory to your hand-held.
5.10.1 Inserting The Card
• Switch off the Warrington.
• Remove the battery cover and the battery.
• Gently slide the SD door down and then flip it forward.
• Fit the card into the slot, pushing it inward to secure it in place.

General Maintenance
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 73
5.11 General Maintenance
5.11.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive
coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is
susceptible to abrasions and scratches. 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 pro-
tector (WA6110???). 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.
5.11.2 Cleaning The Warrington
•Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held 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 and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the unit clean.

Suspend Timeout
When the Warrington is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on)
or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on) – the hand-
held uses the value assigned in the Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go
to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters
suspend state. In suspend state, the Warrington CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut
off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the
system from suspend state. When the Warrington is in suspend state, the network connection
will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the
network connection.
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To
further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time
that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 84).

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

6.5.6.1 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 hard-
ware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer
(for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
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 108.
Show All Modules
By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or
applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this
checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.
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.

Wait for the Warrington to complete its scan (approximately 20 seconds). When scanning
starts, the Scan button will change to Stop—if necessary, you can tap on this button to stop
the process. Once scanning is complete, all discovered devices will be displayed in the list
box, with Name, Address, Active status, and PIN information.
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a service
is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you high-
light a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.
Services
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and
you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include:
DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), Headset service and LANPPP
(LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.
• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the
Services button or double-click on the device entry.
Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names. Only
the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio coverage range will
be retrieved.
Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount
of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen.

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

If you choose Once, the menu is displayed only when a partner service is not selected.
To display the Selection menu at any time:
• Press [CTRL] [ALT] [F1], and switch the partner Bluetooth device.
If a connection to a partner device already exists, the connection is dropped and another con-
nection to the newly selected device is created instantly without disrupting the application

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.
Prefix Char
This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key
you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key
value of the keypress is displayed.
Suffix Char
This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the key you
want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The ASCII/Unicode key value of
the keypress is displayed.
Strip Leading
This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the begin-
ning of the bar code before the prefix character is added.
Strip Trailing
The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be
removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added.
Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the “Strip Leading”.

Enable
Setting this parameter to on enables “RSS Code” scanning capability.
Enable RSS-14
RSS-14 code can be either purely linear or split in half with one half stacked on top of the
other half. Stacking the code reduces the bar code length, and providing the nominal height
of the code is maintained, it can be omni-directionally scanned.
Enable RSS Limited
“RSS-Limited” is restricted, in that it can only encode 14 digit GTINs (global trade item

Setting this parameter to on keeps image capture active and continuously decoding as long
as the scanner button is pressed and held down.
Center Bar Code Only
When more than one bar code is visible in a single snap shot, this parameter allows you to
specify that only the centre image within the imager framing marker be read. When this pa-
rameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and only that image
is returned.

This parameter specifies the maximum number of bar codes the imager will attempt to
decode in an image. A maximum of 6 bar codes can be decoded at one time.
Note: This parameter must be disabled when reading Composite bar codes.

Barcodes Must Decode
This parameter specifies the minimum number of bar codes that the imager must decode in
order to report success.
Window Width
“Window Width” determines the width of the captured image in pixels.
Window Height
This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels.
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the target-
ing dot remains on before the scanner begins capturing images. When you double-tap on this
parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of between 0 and 3000.
A value of 0 disables the target dot.
6.10.4.2 Imager – Advanced Options
Factory Defaults On Reboot
The value assigned to this parameter determines whether or not the driver will restore the
factory defaults to the imager device on the next reboot.
Note: This number must be less than the number of bar codes assigned to “Max Number
Barcodes”. The driver validates and reassigns the value if necessary.
Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if neces-
sary; the driver will also use the “Window Width” value to horizontally center the
image in the field of view.
Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if neces-

Min Scan Duration
This parameter defines the minimum amount of time in seconds that the imager will scan
when the trigger is pressed and held down without successful decode.
Captures Per HW Trigger
The value assigned to this parameter determines the number of captures the imager device
will take while the imager's internal hardware trigger is held down.
Auto Exposure
Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration and illu-
mination 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
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, inte-
gration and illumination.
Note: The actual scan duration when the trigger is pressed relies on the value assigned to
“Captures Per HW Trigger”, below.
Note: This parameter, together with “Min Scan Duration”, determines the actual scan
duration. When the scan trigger is pressed and held down, the driver starts a timer
based on the value of “Min Scan Duration” and also sends a command to emulate
the hardware trigger. When completed, if the time has not yet expired, it will send
another command to the imager device, forcing the imager to flash again using the
value assigned to “Captures Per HW Trigger”.
Important: This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion Teklogix
personnel. It should be left at the default value: on.
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.

Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination
These parameters represent internal values used by the 2D imager. The “Auto Exposure” pa-
rameter 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 al-
lowable 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. “De-
coder 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.
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 on a failed decode.
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.
Important: These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel.
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 first.
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 oper-
ator will usually only have near miss scenarios.

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

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 parame-
ters 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).

7.8.3 Inserting A Warrington In The Quad Docking Station
• Slide the Warrington into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.
The hand-held detects that it is in a quad dock and momentarily displays the appropriate
icon in the navigation bar at the top of the screen:
The LED on the hand-held unit lights up to show it has external power and may start charg-
ing the battery.
Interaction with the Warrington while in the quad dock is a function of the user application
software used to communicate with the host network.
7.8.4 Network Access
The quad docking station has one 10/100 Ethernet port. You can insert up to four hand-held
units. The hand-helds are connected to an internal USB hub. The hand-held unit automati-
cally detects insertion into a quad docking station and loads the appropriate drivers to
communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.
7.8.4.1 Network Addressing
Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no cor-
relation between these addresses and a specific hand-held. The host application uses
standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific Warrington on
the network.
If a link is established between a Warrington and a host, the application on the host and on
the hand-held must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the Warrington is removed
from the dock and the link is interrupted.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 197
7.9.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
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 pro-
fessional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for sepa-
rately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain
suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance. 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.
7.9.1.1 Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
7.9.2 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 loca-
tion, 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.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Using The Vehicle Cradle
198 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.9.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your Warrington 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 hand
straps or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the Warrington into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place.
On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the Warrington 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.
7.9.4 Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the Warrington firmly in place. Although these latches are de-
signed 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 Tek-
logix. Partial disassembly is required.
7.9.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
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 appropri-
ate 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.
Preliminary Draft
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 199
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.
7.9.6 Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
The powered cradle is designed to allow the Warrington 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 9 to 20V, with optional pre-regulator.
The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.
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.
7.9.6.1 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 con-
nects 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 prefera-
ble 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 Warrington 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.

The Port Replicator
200 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.9.7 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 at-
tached to the vehicle cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle
power option.
The functionality of the Warrington tether port is replicated into RS-232 serial interfaces by
the port replicator. It provides the user with 3 DB9 serial interfaces as well as one Type B
USB port (for connecting a Host device).
7.10 Scanners And Imagers
The Warrington supports a 1D laser scanner (SE955) and a 1D imager (EV15) options to
address a variety of user application requirements. The scanner/imager installed in your unit
can be configured using the Scanner Settings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 134)
and the Manage Triggers application (see page 105).
It is critical that you review the safety information in the Chapter 1: “Approvals & Safety
Summary” before proceeding.
7.10.1 Scanning Techniques
• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
• Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back
into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.
• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D laser scanner, make certain that the scan
beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end
of the symbol.
• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.
Movement blurs the image.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
Preliminary Draft
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Trou ble sh oot i n g
Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 201
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the
onscreen message states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable
Scan Indication in the Options tab of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
When the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan
button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if Scan Result is turned on in the Options tab
of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
7.10.2 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Is the unit on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are
using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware
problem in the hand-held.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
7.10.3 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Laser Scanners
• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning
indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled
for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning
begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on page 137 for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an
immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and
high visibility internal scanners.

Bluetooth Peripherals
202 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual
7.11 Bluetooth Peripherals
The Warrington 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 10 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS universal handset.
•Bluetooth printer.
•Bluetooth headset.
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band.
Although the Warrington 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 back-
bone 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 110 for information about setting up your Bluetooth
devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth
device to determine the method used to pair with the Warrington host.
