For a list of international subsidiaries, please go to: www.psionteklogix.com/EnvironmentalCompliance Preliminary Draft 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 maximum 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 in the product(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and shall not be responsible for any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages, caused by reliance on the material presented, including but not limited to typographical errors.

Connect button – To force connection to a specific, existing network, highlight the network to which you want your Warrington to connect, and tap on the Connect button Figure 3.3 Wireless Information Tab This tab lists available networks – any access points that are broadcasting an SSID, and it lists preferred networks – networks that you have configured. Since access points are generally secure, they will most likely not be listed here. By default, Warrington attempts to connect to preferred networks. This behaviour can be changed by enabling Automatically connect to non-preferred networks in the Advanced dialog box (see Figure 3.8 on page 31). • To add a new configuration, tap on the Add New button. A blank Wireless Properties dialog box is displayed. 5. Wireless Properties: Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 25 Chapter 3: Basic Checkout Configuring The Murata 802.11b/g Radio Preliminary Draft Figure 3.4 Wireless Properties Dialog Box • Network name (SSID): Type the appropriate SSID (Service Set Identifier) in the Network name (SSID) text box at the top of this dialog box. The Network name field can contain a maximum of 32 characters. The name assigned here is listed as a preferred network. Important: Keep in mind that the Warrington will only communicate with access points that are configured with the same SSID. • Ad Hoc And Infrastructure: If you are using an Infrastructure network – one in which Warringtons must pass data through an access point – leave the checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network blank. If you are using an Ad Hoc network – a network in which Warringtons pass data directly to other Warringtons without an access point – add a checkmark in the checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network to enable Ad Hoc. Encryption: WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose Disabled from the dropdown encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is. Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as part of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to enhance WEP, TKIP uses 26 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 3: Basic Checkout Configuring The Murata 802.11b/g Radio 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 wireless 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 secret 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 (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a preshared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS 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. • To assign a Network key, highlight The key is provided automatically, and uncheck the checkbox to disable this option Figure 3.5 Accessing Network Key and Key Index • Key Index: This field is used to identify the WEP key. Enter a value from 1 to 4. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 27 Chapter 3: Basic Checkout Assigning An IP Address Preliminary Draft • 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 protocols 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 authentication information you specified.

Preparing the unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the Warrington. 5.2.1 Battery Safety Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in Chapter 1: “Approvals & Safety Summary”. 5.2.2 Removing The Battery Pack Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove the battery. 58 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Battery Swap Time 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 altered, 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 handheld 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 Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations, refer to Appendix 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”. Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include: • AC wall adaptor (Model # 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 Warringtons inserted in the docking station. It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The Warrington intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 59 Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Switching The Hand-Held On And Off Preliminary Draft Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 70 for additional 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). 5.3 Switching The Hand-Held On And Off • To switch the unit on, press and hold down the [ENTER] key for at least one second. • When the LED flashes green, release the [ENTER] key. The startup screen is displayed. 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. Switching Off The Warrington (Suspend) 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. • 5.4 To switch the unit off, press [FN/BLUE] [ENTER]. The Keyboard Two keyboard options are available: • 48-key alpha-numeric keyboard. This keyboard is only available with connected handhelds – 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. 60 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Modifier Keys 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 displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar. Keep in mind, however, that the ‘One Shot’ function allows you to determine how many key presses will lock a modifier key ‘on’ – one press or two. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details. 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. 5.4.2 The Keys The [SHIFT] Key The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 61 Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Function Keys And Macro Keys Preliminary Draft The Arrow Keys The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear. The [SPACE] Key Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox. The [BKSP/DEL] Key The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position. The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application-dependent. The [TAB] Key Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward. The [ESC] Key Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or activity and return to the previous one. The [SCAN] Key All units are equipped with a yellow [SCAN] key. For units that do not have internal scanners, this key can be re-mapped to another function. 5.4.3 Function Keys And Macro Keys In addition to the standard keyboard functions, the Warrington supports Function keys and Macro keys. All Function and Macro keys can be custom defined for each application. 5.4.3.1 Function Keys The Warrington keyboard is equipped with a total of 14 function keys. Function keys [F1] to [F4] are located near the top of the keyboard on the [TAB], [ALT], [CTRL] and [ESC] keys and are directly accessible—a key combination is not required. Ten additional function keys 62 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington The Macro Keys are colour coded in blue print on the unit body; these keys are accessed by executing a key combination, [FN/BLUE] followed by the appropriate numeric key. For example, to access function key [F7]: • • Press the [FN/BLUE] key followed by the [7] key—the numeric key to which function key [F7] is mapped. To access function key [F8], press [FN/BLUE] [8], and so on. 5.4.3.2 The Macro Keys While macro keys are not physically stamped on the keyboard, up to 12 macro functions can be added using the Scancode Remapping function. Refer to “Scancode Remapping” on page 94 for details about mapping keys. Refer to “Keyboard Macro Keys” on page 91 for details about programming characters in a Macro key. 5.4.4 26-Key Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys On numeric 26-key keyboards, numeric keys are directly accessible, and all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange characters above the numeric keys. An indicator in the left corner of the taskbar displays the currently selected character. To access an alpha character, first press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed. Choosing A Single Alpha Character The examples below illustrate how to access, A, B, and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key [2]. Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen. To choose the letter a: • Press the [FN/ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2]. Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key, you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details. To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b: Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 63 Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington The Keypad Backlight Preliminary Draft • Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. ‘ORG KEY is displayed in upper-case characters in the taskbar to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’. • Press numeric key [2] twice to display the letter b. To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c: • • Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. Press numeric key [2] three times to display the letter c. Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you’d need to press the [2] key three times. With the [FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically. Creating Uppercase Letters To display a capital letter: • Press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the alpha character. Note: If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT]. An icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating that all letters will be displayed as uppercase characters. Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters • Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. Each time you press a numeric key from [2] through [9], an alpha character will be displayed on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the softkey bar for a visual indication of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen. Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or unlock the [FN/ORANGE] key. 5.4.5 The Keypad Backlight The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is activated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE 5.0 Control Panel.

If a modifier key has been pressed but is not locked on, it is displayed in the taskbar in lowercase characters – for example, blue key. It will remain active only until the next key is pressed at which point, the modifier key is turned off. 68 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Onscreen Indicators Note: The locking function of the modifier keys can be set up so that pressing one of these keys once will lock the key ‘on’. They can also be set up so that they must be pressed twice to be locked ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details. Battery Gauge The battery shaped icon displayed in the taskbar provides a visual indication of the remaining battery power. The icon acts as a meter that is either full, at three-quarter level, half, quarter level or empty. When the battery level is low—approximately 15 minutes from empty—a warning window pops up. When the battery power is completely depleted, a final warning window indicates that the Warrington will be powered down. If the Warrington is using external AC power, an AC icon is displayed in the taskbar. Full 75% 50% 25% Empty AC Connection Battery Charge The battery charge icon is displayed in the taskbar when the hand-held battery is being charged. 802.11 Radio Signal Quality Increasing radio signal quality is represented by longer, filled bars within this icon. Good Reception Weak Reception No Radio Link Docking Device When a hand-held is inserted in a docking station or charger, an associated icon appears in the taskbar. Bluetooth Radio This icon displayed in the taskbar represents the installed Bluetooth radio. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 69 Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time 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 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’ notification appears. As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature extremes 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: • • • • 5.7.1 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 continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week—for long-term storage, the battery should be removed from the unit. Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary: • 70 Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft • • • • 5.8 Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Uploading Data In A Docking Station Lithium Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0 °C and 20 °C (32 °F and 68 °F). Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit. To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage. A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods. Uploading Data In A Docking Station Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your Warrington before performing data uploads. The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available. Note: Refer to “Desktop Docking Station” on page 186 for more details. The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available. Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connections to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection. When 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 Note: Integrated Bluetooth Class II radios are standard on ‘connected’ Warringtons – that is, units equipped with 802.11 radios. On ‘unconnected’ or batch units, Bluetooth is an optional feature. 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, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. You can Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 71 Preliminary Draft Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Device also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 110 for setup details. 5.9.1 Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Device Note: If the Bluetooth radio is not already enabled, tap on the Power icon in the Control Panel, tap on the Devices tab and enable the Bluetooth radio. To pair a headset: • Follow the headset manufacturer’s instructions to place the headset you want to place in pairing mode. • In the Control Panel, tap on the Bluetooth icon choose the Devices tab and scan for devices in your area. (Note that if you’re pairing the device for the first time, the device scan occurs automatically—you do not need to tap on the Scan button to perform a scan.) When the scan is complete, a list of devices is listed. • Double-click on the headset you want to pair with. If you prefer, you can highlight headset and tap on the Services button. A dialog box appears requesting that you enter a PIN number. • Type your pin number and tap on OK. A Services dialog box appears listing headset. • Press and hold the stylus on headset. In the pop-up menu, choose Active. Your headset is now paired. A COM/BSP port name will now appear beside the service for this device. An asterisk will appear under the Active list in the Service screen. 5.10 The MicroSD Card A microSD card slot is available in the battery compartment. MicroSD cards provide additional, non-volatile memory to your hand-held. 5.10.1 Inserting The Card • • • • • 72 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. Flip the SD door back into place, and slide it upward to lock it. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft 5.11 Chapter 5: Getting To Know The Warrington General Maintenance 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 protector (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 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 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.

Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 87 Chapter 6: Configuration Sequence Preliminary Draft Repeat Rate The value assigned for the Repeat Rate parameter determines how quickly the key you press repeats and is measured in characters per second (cps). Sliding the bar to the left slows the repeat rate, and sliding the bar to the right increases the repeat rate. Note: Use the field at the bottom of this dialog box to test the repeat delay and rate settings you’ve chosen. 6.5.2.2 Sequence This tab determines the allowable pause between alpha key presses on a numeric keypad. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the [ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically. Moving the Sequence slider to the right increases the pause time between alpha key presses. 88 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Keyboard Backlight 6.5.2.3 Keyboard Backlight • In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the Backlight tab. Intensity This parameter is used to adjust the light intensity of the Warrington keyboard backlight. Sliding the bar to the left darkens the keyboard backlight intensity, and sliding it to the right lightens the intensity. ON For The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the duration of time that the keyboard backlight stays on when a unit is not in use. Note: Tapping in the checkbox next to ‘When using external power, keep the backlight always ON’ forces the keypad backlight to remain on when the unit is operating with external power. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 89 Chapter 6: Configuration Keyboard One Shot Modes Preliminary Draft 6.5.2.4 Keyboard One Shot Modes • In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the One Shots tab. The options in this tab allow you to determine how modifier keys on your Warrington behave. For each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [FN/ORANGE] and [FN/BLUE] – you have the following options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock. Note: Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not these keys are locked on. For example, if the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen displays it in uppercase characters, ORANGE KEY. If this key is displayed in lowercase characters in the taskbar, you’ll know that the orange key is not locked. It will become inactive following a key press. Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you need to tap on the OK button at the top of the tab to activate your selection. Lock If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’ until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off. OneShot If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed. 90 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Keyboard Macro Keys OneShot/Lock OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this option and you press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key is pressed. If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked ‘on’, remaining active until the modifier key is pressed a third time to turn it ‘off’. 6.5.2.5 Keyboard Macro Keys • In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the Macros tab. A macro has 200 programmable characters (or “positions”). The macro keys can be programmed to replace frequently used keystrokes, along with the function of executable keys including [ENTER], [BKSP] and [DEL] ([FN/BLUE]-[BKSP]), function keys and arrow keys. Recording And Saving A Macro On the 36-key Warrington, you can program a maximum of 6 macro keys. • In the Macro menu highlight a macro key number, for example macro 1, to assign a macro to macro key [M1]. Choose the Record button.

Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Unicode Mapping 6.5.2.6 Unicode Mapping • In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, open the Unicode Mapping tab. The Unicode Mapping tab is used to map combinations of virtual key values and [CTRL] and [SHIFT] states to Unicode™ values. This tab shows the configured Unicode character along with the Unicode value. For example, the sample screen above shows “a (U+0061)” indicating that the character “a” is represented by the Unicode value “0061”, and so on. Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are represented as hexadecimal rather than decimal values. All user-defined Unicode mappings are listed in the Unicode Mapping tab in order of virtual key value, and then by order of the shift state. If a Unicode mapping is not listed, the Unicode mapping is mapped to the default Unicode value. Adding And Changing Unicode Values Important: Changes to Unicode mappings are not saved until you exit the Keyboard Properties dialog box. • Choose the Add/Change button Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 93 Chapter 6: Configuration Scancode Remapping Preliminary Draft Figure 6.4 Adding And Changing Unicode Values • • Highlight a value in the Unicode mapping list. In the sample screen above, a value will be assigned to virtual key 0 (VK 0). Position the cursor in the Unicode Mapping field, and type a Unicode value for the highlighted key. Note: To add a shifted state, [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], press [TAB] to position the cursor in the checkbox next to ‘SHIFT Pressed’ and/or ‘CTRL Pressed’. Press [SPACE] to select the shift state you want to assign. Removing Unicode Values • In the Unicode Mapping tab, highlight the item you want to delete, and choose the Remove button. 6.5.2.7 Scancode Remapping A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro. There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines 94 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Scancode Remapping key presses that occur when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box. The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’. If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2). Adding A Remap To add a new remapping: • Choose the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 95 Chapter 6: Configuration Scancode Remapping Preliminary Draft The Remap Scancode dialog box is displayed. • Type the scan code in hexadecimal in the field labelled Scancode Note: The Label field displays the default function of the scancode you are remapping. Virtual Key, Function And Macro The radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog box allow you to define to what the scan code will be remapped: Virtual Key, Function or Macro. When Virtual Key is selected, you can choose to force [SHIFT] to be on or off when the virtual key is sent. If No Force is selected, the shift state is dependent on whether the shift state is on or off at the time the virtual key is sent. When Function is selected, a list of valid functions appears in the dialog box. When Macro is selected, the macro keys available on your unit are listed in the dialog box. • • Choose Virtual Key, Function or Macro. Choose a function from the Function list in the dialog box, and tap on OK. Editing A Scancode Remap To edit a scancode: • • • 96 In the Scancode Remapping tab, tap the stylus on the remap you want to edit. Tap on the Edit button, and make the appropriate changes. Tap on OK to save your changes. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Lock Sequence Removing A Remap To delete a remap: • • In the Scancode Remapping tab, highlight the scancode you want to delete, and tap on the Remove button. Tap on OK. 6.5.2.8 Lock Sequence The Lock Sequence tab allows you to lock the Warrington keyboard to prevent keys from being pressed accidentally when, for example, the unit is inserted in a holster. • • • To lock the keyboard, tap in the checkbox next to Enable key lock sequence. Tap in the checkbox next to Keyboard locked at startup. In the Key sequence dropdown menu, choose the key sequence you will need to type to unlock the keyboard.

Under the heading Enable sounds for, enable the conditions under which you want the Warrington to emit a beep. 6.5.3.2 Sound Adjustments This dialogue box allows you to assign sounds to identify a particular actions. For example, you can choose the sound your hand-held will emit when you close a program and choose another sound for a failed scan, etc. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 99 Chapter 6: Configuration Power Management Properties 6.5.4 Preliminary Draft Power Management Properties This icon displays a Power Properties dialog box that indicates the unit’s battery capacity and allows you to manage battery use. • In the Control Panel, choose the Power icon. 6.5.4.1 Battery Capacity • 100 In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Battery tab to view battery details. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Power Saving Suspend 6.5.4.2 Power Saving Suspend • In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Suspend tab. Power Source This dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or Battery Power. Suspend Timeout Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 84). When the 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 handheld 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 101 Chapter 6: Configuration Suspend Threshold Preliminary Draft 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 recommends keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to maximize battery run time. 102 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Advanced 6.5.4.4 Advanced Allow Suspend With: This tab allows you to specify whether or not your unit will enter Suspend state while it is operating with an active PPP connection, network interface or active TCP/IP connection. Low Power Warnings The sliding scale at the bottom of this tab allows you to specify the remaining battery capacity at which a warning message is displayed on the Warrington screen, from 0% to 20%. 6.5.4.5 Devices This tab controls power to individual CF and SDIO slots, and built-in devices. Enable or disable the checkboxes as needed, then tap on OK to save your changes. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 103 Chapter 6: Configuration Stylus Properties 6.5.5 Preliminary Draft Stylus Properties Note: Touchscreen calibration may not be enabled on your unit. If your screen appears to require recalibration, contact your supervisor. • In the Control Panel, choose the Stylus icon. 6.5.5.1 Double-Tap • In the Double-Tap tab, follow the directions to tailor the sensitivity of the stylus when you tap on the touchscreen. 6.5.5.2 Calibration Touchscreens rarely require recalibration.

Tap the checkbox next to Disable the touch panel. Manage Triggers This option allows you to configure how bar code scanners and other devices such as RFID readers are triggered. You can configure the trigger ID for each trigger button for both single- and double-click, and the double-click time. • In the Control Panel, choose the Manage Triggers icon. Figure 6.6 Manage Triggers Icon Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 105 Chapter 6: Configuration Trigger Mappings • Preliminary Draft In the Manage Triggers screen you’ll see a list of trigger mappings. 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 hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message. Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger type is different. A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications. Double-Click When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger-Press Type” on page 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. 106 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Add And Edit Trigger Mapping Add Tapping this button brings up the Add Mapping dialog (see “Add And Edit Trigger Mapping” on page 107), so that you can add new trigger mappings. Edit Tapping this button brings up the Edit Mapping dialog (see “Add And Edit Trigger Mapping” on page 107), so that you can edit existing trigger mappings. Remove Tapping this button removes an existing mapping. OK The OK button in the top right of the Manage Triggers screen saves all changes made. If the cancel button X is tapped instead, or the [ESC] key is pressed, all changes made will be discarded. 6.5.6.2 Add And Edit Trigger Mapping These dialogs allow the user to add and edit trigger mappings. Trigger Key This drop-down list allows you to specify the source of the trigger events, such as the Grip Trigger, Left Scan, etc., for the trigger module selected. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 107 Chapter 6: Configuration Add And Edit Trigger Mapping Preliminary Draft Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers) – for example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers. It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer). Add Key Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog will pop up and allow you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source. Trigger-Press Type You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to the “owner”– that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will have occurred. If a mapping with the type Up/Down has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events. Module Trigger This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses. Show All Modules By default, inactive owners are not shown. By checking this checkbox, all owners, both active and inactive, are displayed. 108 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft 6.5.7 Chapter 6: Configuration Certificate Assignment Certificate Assignment • In the Control Panel, choose the Certificate icon.

For a detailed description about Certificate setup for both the server and client-side devices (Warrington hand-helds), refer to the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/security.mspx Note: When importing certificates, the Warrington only recognizes .cer files. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 109 Chapter 6: Configuration Bluetooth Setup 6.6 Preliminary Draft Bluetooth Setup Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 10 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate. Note: The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna. The Bluetooth radio is disabled by default. Before you begin the setup process: • In the Control Panel, tap on the Power icon. • Tap on the Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth. Tap on OK. When the radio is enabled, a Bluetooth icon appears the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It is ready for setup. • In the Control Panel, choose the Bluetooth icon. Figure 6.8 Bluetooth Icon The Bluetooth Manager dialog box displays the other Bluetooth devices with which you can communicate. 110 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft 6.6.1 Chapter 6: Configuration The Devices Tab The Devices Tab If you intend to pair devices (a headset, for example), power on and bring the devices within 5 m (16.4 ft.) of the hand-held before proceeding with the discovery process described below. 6.6.1.1 Pairing A Device To pair devices: • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to place the device you want to pair in pairing mode • Choose the Devices tab and Scan for devices in your area. • When the scan is complete, highlight the device you want to pair with and either doubleclick or press the Services button. • If a PIN dialog box appears, type your PIN and tap on OK. After entering the device PIN number, the Services dialog appears with a list of services available on that device. • To select a service, double-click on the service you want, or highlight the service and press the space bar. • In the drop-down list of options available, choose Active to pair the device. A COM/BSP port name will appear next to the service for this device. Your device is now paired. Scan • Click on the Scan button to list available devices. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 111 Chapter 6: Configuration Pairing A Device Preliminary Draft Figure 6.9 Available Bluetooth Devices 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. Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names. Only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio coverage range will be retrieved. The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during the scan. The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device. At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available. Services A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), Headset service and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile. • To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry. Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen. 112 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Pairing A Device Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box: • Highlight the service to be activated. • Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu. The Activation menu contains four options: Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing, and Encrypt. Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated. Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed except for debugging purposes. To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated. Then you can choose the Outgoing option from the Activation menu (highlight a service, right-click or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu). The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation. To change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options. Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may change their RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting may not work when the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate the service and reactivate it to detect the current RFCOMM channel.) Set PIN PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or you can skip this step and try to connect to the device first. Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise the PIN authentication will fail. • Highlight a device, click on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN. You will receive a message, either that the PIN has been successfully validated or that it has been rejected. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 113 Chapter 6: Configuration The Servers Tab Preliminary Draft If the PIN has been validated, an asterisk (*) appears in the PIN column in the Devices list box, indicating that this device has a PIN set. Once a PIN is entered, it is saved in the registry. To remove the PIN: • Choose Set PIN, and press [ENTER]. If the Warrington attempts to connect to a remote device that has Authentication enabled and does not have a required PIN set, an Authentication Request dialog box appears. • 6.6.2 Enter the PIN, and tap on OK to connect the devices. The Servers Tab The Bluetooth connection is initiated from your Warrington to the remote device. Therefore the Warrington is called the ‘client’ and the remote is called the ‘server’. The Servers tab displays the server profiles that can be activated in your hand-held. There is currently one server profile available: Serial. • Tap on the checkbox to activate the server, and it will display the associated port name beside the server name. Once you activate a server profile, it is recommended that the Warrington be rebooted before you try to bond from a server. Note: You do not need to reboot if you are deactivating a server. 114 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft 6.6.3 Chapter 6: Configuration Outgoing Tab Outgoing Tab Outgoing Port acts as a serial port that can be used to connect to a list of Bluetooth devices (one at a time), but you have the freedom to switch on-the-fly. The Outgoing Port checkbox allows you to create the Outgoing port. When the port is created, the Outgoing tab lists the port name. The Outgoing list dialog box displays a list of services marked as ‘Outgoing’. The * column indicates the currently selected service. You can tap on Unselect to reset the current selection, or you can tap on Select to make a selection. The Remove button deletes the service from the outgoing list. The Prompt menu determines the behaviour of the pop-up Selection menu. Choosing Everytime causes the Selection menu to be displayed each time an outgoing port is created. 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 connection to the newly selected device is created instantly without disrupting the application that has opened the outgoing port. Note: 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). Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 115 Chapter 6: Configuration Active Conn. Tab 6.6.4 Preliminary Draft Active Conn.

The Device Name field shows the device name of your Warrington. This name can be changed (see the Note on the previous page for details). Device Class shows the Class of Device (e.g. desktop, hand-held), which is always set to Handheld. Local Bluetooth Address shows the address of your Warrington radio. Port Prefix is used to set the port name to either BSP or COM. When the name is set to BSP, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for activated services (including the server). When COM is chosen, COM7 to COM9 are available. NQuery Retry (Name Query Retry) governs the number of times the hand-held will attempt to query the names of other Bluetooth devices if the first attempt fails. (When the Warrington scans for other devices, it sometimes fails to scan names.) Note: Keep in mind that setting this parameter to a higher value will lengthen the scan time. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 117 Chapter 6: Configuration The Search For Tab 6.6.6 Preliminary Draft The Search For Tab The Search For tab allows you to specify the services for which the Bluetooth radio will scan. 6.6.7 The Bluetooth GPRS WAN Connection The following steps describe how to set up an internet data connection using a GSM cellular telephone with Bluetooth.

Refer to the option names in this section for scanner model identification. 136 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Decoded (Internal) – Advanced 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. When you doubletap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot. Aim Duration This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot. Laser On Time The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or trigger is pressed. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99, each number representing 0.1 seconds. 6.10.2.2 Decoded (Internal) – Advanced Options Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to on keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Minimum Cancel Time The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly triggers on/off. Low Power Timeout To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned—a successful decode restores normal blinking. This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the unit is used in a fixed mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as a handheld. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min., or 3 min. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 137 Chapter 6: Configuration Decoded (Internal) – Advanced Options Preliminary Draft Parameter Scanning Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes. Linear Security Level This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality. There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4. Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: Code Type Length Codabar All MSI Plessey 4 or less D 5 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice before being decoded. Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Code Type Length MSI Plessey 4 or less D 2 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before being decoded. Bi-Direction Redundancy Note: This parameter is only valid if a” Linear Security Level” is enabled. 138 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Decoded (Internal) – 2D Scanning Options When this parameter is enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded. 6.10.2.3 Decoded (Internal) – 2D Scanning Options Scanning Mode When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose one of the following scanning modes: Smart Raster, Always Raster, Programmable Raster, Slab Pattern, Cyclone Pattern, or Semi-Omni Pattern. Raster Height And Raster Expand Rate These parameters determine the laser pattern’s height and rate of expansion. Note: These parameters are only used when either Programmable Raster or Always Raster is assigned to the “2D Scanning Mode” parameter. “2D Raster Height” and “2D Raster Expand Rate” are intended for very specific applications and are usually not required for normal scanning purposes. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 15. 6.10.2.4 Decoded (Internal) Data Options Transmit Code ID Char A code ID character identifies the scanned bar code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a transmit code: None, AIM, or Symbol. Scan Data Format This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format. Double-tapping on Scan Data Format displays the following options from which you can choose a data format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2], and [P] data [S1][S2]. Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] And Suffix [S2] A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-tap on these parameters, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 139 Chapter 6: Configuration Code 39 Preliminary Draft Delete Char Set ECIs Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character Set ECIs—Extended Channel Interpretations (also known as GLIs) – from its buffer before transmission. When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled. ECI Decoder Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs) supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs. If this parameter is set to OFF and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner transmits the ECI escape followed by the data that was not interpreted. 6.10.2.5 Code 39 Enabled Setting this parameter to on enables “Code 39”. Enable Trioptic Code 39 Note: “Trioptic Code 39” and “Full ASCII” should not be enabled simultaneously. The scanner does not automatically discriminate between these two symbologies. Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters. Setting this parameter to on allows this type of symbology to be recognized. Convert To Code 32 Note: “Code 39” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. Setting this parameter to on allows the scanner to convert the bar code from “Code 39” to “Code 32”. Code 32 Prefix Note: “Convert to Code 32” must be enabled in order for this parameter to function. 140 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Code 39 When this parameter is enabled, the prefix character “A” is added to all “Code 32” bar codes. Set Length L1 And Set Length L2 Lengths for “Code 39” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s). Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where you can define the code length that will be decoded by your scanner Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified range from 1 to 55. Check Digit Verification When this parameter is enabled, the integrity of a “Code 39” symbol is checked to ensure that it complies with specified algorithms. Note: Only those “Code 39” symbols that include a Mod 43 check digit are decoded when this parameter is enabled. Transmit Check Digit If the check digit is to be transmitted with the data, this parameter must to enabled. Full ASCII If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent ASCII character. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 141 Chapter 6: Configuration Code 39 Preliminary Draft Decode Performance If this parameter is enabled, one of three decode levels can be chosen in the Decode Performance Level parameter. Decode Perf. Level This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 39 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation—this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind that increased levels reduce decode security. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a decode performance level of between 1 and 3. 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. 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 beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added. Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the “Strip Leading”. 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. 142 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Code 128 6.10.2.6 Code 128 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 128”. Enable GS1-128/GS1 US Previously UPC/EAN and UCC, these types of bar codes include group separators and start codes. Enable ISBT 128 To successfully scan this variation, “Enable ISBT 128” must be set to on. Decode Performance If this parameter is set to on, one of three decode levels assigned to the Decode Performance Level parameter can be selected. Decode Perf. Level This parameter provides three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 128 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation—this is useful when scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Keep in mind that increased levels reduce decode security. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a decode performance level of between 1 and 3. Field Size/Chars Refer to page 142 for details. 6.10.2.7 EAN 13 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “EAN 13”. Prefix/Suffix 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 143 Chapter 6: Configuration EAN 8 Preliminary Draft 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 beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added. Note: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character. For example, if [BKSP] is pressed, the usual action for that key is performed. 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. 6.10.2.8 EAN 8 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “EAN 8”. EAN-8 Zero Extend When this parameter is enabled, five leading zeros are added to decoded EAN-8 symbols, making them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disabling this parameter returns EAN-8 symbols to their normal format. Prefix/Suffix See “Prefix/Suffix” on page 143. 6.10.2.9 UPC A Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “UPC A”. UPC-A, Check Digit If you enable this parameter, the check digit is included with the decoded bar code data. UPC-A, Preamble When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed where you can choose one of three options for lead-in characters for UPC-A symbols transmitted to the host device: 144 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration UPC E System Char—system character transmitted with the data, Country Code and System Char—both the country code (“0” for USA) and system character are transmitted with the data, or None—no preamble is transmitted. The lead-in characters are considered part of the symbol. Prefix/Suffix See “Prefix/Suffix” on page 143. 6.10.2.10 UPC E Enabled UPC-E Set this parameter to on to allow “UPC E” bar code scans. Enabled UPC-E1 Set this parameter to on to allow “UPC-E1” (zero suppressed) bar code scans. UPC-E And UPC-E1 Check Digit If you enable one or both of these parameters, a check digit is included with the decoded bar code data. UPC-E And UPC-E1 Preamble When you double-tap on one of these parameters, a dialog box is displayed where you can choose one of three options for lead-in characters for UPC-E and UPC-E1 symbols transmitted to the host device: System Char—system character transmitted with the data, Country code and System Char—both the country code (“0” for USA) and system character are transmitted with the data, or None—no preamble is transmitted. The lead-in characters are considered part of the symbol. Conv. UPC-E To UPC-A This parameter converts UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 145 Chapter 6: Configuration UPC/EAN Shared Settings Preliminary Draft Conv. UPC-E1 To UPC-A This parameter converts UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Prefix/Suffix Refer to “Prefix/Suffix” on page 143. 6.10.2.11 UPC/EAN Shared Settings The parameters you set here are a shared across all available UPC and EAN bar codes. Enable Bookland EAN Setting this parameter to on allows your scanner to recognize Bookland EAN bar codes. Supplementals Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5). Double-tapping this parameter displays a list of options. If Ignore is chosen, UPC/EAN is decoded and the supplemental characters are ignored. If Decode is chosen, UPC/EAN symbols are decoded with supplementals. Autodiscriminate works in conjunction with the Supp. Redundancy parameter. Supp. Redundancy With “Autodiscriminate” selected in the Supplementals parameter, Supp. Redundancy adjusts the number of times a symbol without supplementals is decoded before transmission. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog is displayed in which you can enter a value between 2 and 20. A value of 5 or above is recommended when Autodiscriminate is selected and you are decoding a mix of UPC/EAN symbols with and without supplementals. Security Level This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge UPC/EAN bar codes. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can choose a level from 0 to 3. Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. Linear Decode Linear Decode applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks (e.g., UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13). When enabled, a bar code is transmitted only when both the left and right blocks 146 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Code 93 are successfully decoded within one laser scan.

Stacking the code reduces the bar code length, and providing the nominal height of the code is maintained, it can be omni-directionally scanned. 150 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Composite Enable RSS Limited “RSS-Limited” is restricted, in that it can only encode 14 digit GTINs (global trade item number) that begin with either a 0 or a 1. It is not stackable and is not designed to be read omni-directionally. Enable RSS Expanded “RSS Expanded” uses the same application identifiers as UCC/EAN-128 codes but it can be split into sections and stacked several rows high, reducing the length of the symbol, while increasing the capacity of data that can be stored. “RSS Expanded” code can be omnidirectionally scanned. Field Size/Chars Refer to “Field Size/Chars” on page 142 for details. 6.10.2.18 Composite Important: To successfully read this type of bar code, the two types of symbologies included in a composite bar code must be enabled. In addition, “Center Bar Code Only” must be disabled. A composite symbol includes multi-row 2D components making it compatible with linear and area CCD scanners along with linear and rastering laser scanners. The options available for this parameter represent multi-level components of a composite symbol. Enable CC-C And Enable CC-AB To activate these components, set these parameters to on. Enable TLC-39 This composite component integrates MicroPDF417 with the linear code. Setting this parameter to on enables this parameter. 6.10.2.19 PDF-417 Enable Setting this parameter to on enables PDF-417 two dimensional (2D) coding.

Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 151 Chapter 6: Configuration Micro PDF-417 Preliminary Draft 6.10.2.20 Micro PDF-417 Enable Setting this parameter to on enables “Micro PDF-417” bar code scanning. Micro PDF-417 is a multi-row symbology that is useful for applications requiring greater area efficiency but lower data capacity than PDF-417. Code 128 Emulation When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from certain Micro PDF-417 symbols as if it was encoded in Code 128 symbols. If Code 128 Emulation is enabled, the following Micro PDF-417 symbols are transmitted with one of the following prefixes: ]C1 if the first codeword is 903-907, 912, 914, 915 ]C2 if the first codeword is 908 or 909 ]C0 if the first codeword is 910 or 911 If Code 128 Emulation is set to off, the Micro PDF-417 symbols are transmitted with one of the following prefixes: ]L3 if the first codeword is 903-907, 912, 914, 915 ]L4 if the first codeword is 908 or 909 ]L5 if the first codeword is 910 or 911 Field Size/Chars Refer to “Field Size/Chars” on page 142 for details. 152 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Decoded (ISCP) 6.10.3 Decoded (ISCP) • Tap on the Scanner drop-down menu, and choose Decoded (ISCP). 6.10.3.1 Decoded (ISCP) – Options Laser On Time The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or trigger is pressed. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 1 and 10 seconds. 6.10.3.2 Decoded (ISCP) – Advanced Options Continuous Scan Mode Setting this parameter to on keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the scanner button is pressed and held down. Minimum Cancel Time The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly triggers on/off. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 153 Chapter 6: Configuration Code 39 Preliminary Draft Low Power Timeout To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned—a successful decode restores normal blinking. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min. Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and the hand-held is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used. Parameter Scanning Setting this parameter to Enabled allows decoding of parameter bar codes. Same Read Validate The data is only transmitted after repeated reads give the same result. The value assigned at this parameter determines the number of reads required, from 0 to 10 times. Same Read Timeout Prevents the same bar code from being read more than once. The value assigned determines after what time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec. Diff Read Timeout Prevents unwanted reading of other bar codes on the same label. The value assigned determines after what time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec. 6.10.3.3 Code 39 Enable Setting this parameter to on enables “Code 39”. Full ASCII If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters.

Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 155 Chapter 6: Configuration Code 128 Preliminary Draft GS1-128 Identifier “GS1-128 Identifier” allows the AIM ID " ]C1" for EAN 128 to be transmitted or removed. By default, this identifier is transmitted if EAN 128 is enabled. GTIN Compliant GTIN (global trade item number) processing transmits EAN 128 as the 14-character EAN/UCC GTIN. To use GTIN processing, you must activate the EAN 128 symbology. Important: When EAN 128 and GTIN processing are both activated, it is not possible to read normal EAN 128 Codes. FNC1 Conversion “FNC1 Conversion” allows the FNC1 character to be converted to another character for applications that cannot use the defaultGroup Separator or hex (1d). Double-tapping on this option displays a dialog box listing the allowable range: 0 to 255. Enable ISBT 128 To successfully scan this type of bar code (International Society of Blood Transfusion), this option must be set to on. If you enable this type of bar code, Code 128/EAN 128 is deactivated to avoid any confusion. ISBT Concat Transmit The codes are not concatenated by default. You need to choose one of the options provided for this parameter to send concatenated code. Choosing Only Concatenated Codes transmits only concatenated codes—single codes will not be transmitted. Choosing Concatenated or Single transmits single codes or concatenated codes. If only one code of a pair is read, that code will be transmitted as a single code. If both codes in a pair are detected, they will be concatenated provided that “ISBT Concat Any Pair” (see below) is enabled. ISBT Concat Any Pair Enabling this parameter causes all code pairs that can be, to be concatenated even if they do not comply with Section 4.1 of the “ISBT 128 Bar Code Symbology and Application Specification for Labeling of Whole Blood and Blood Components” (June 2000, Version 1.2.1). Reading Range Determines the reading distance from which a bar code can be successfully scanned. The default setting, Extended, allows for increased reading distance. 156 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration EAN 13 Settings Check Digit Verification The available options for this parameter are Disabled or French CIP.

After conversion, data follows UPC A format and is affected by UPC A programming selections (e.g. Check Digit). Prefix/Suffix Refer to “Prefix/Suffix” on page 143. 6.10.3.9 UPC/EAN Shared Settings The setting assigned to the “Addendum” parameter associated with this option is shared across all UPC and EAN bar codes. Addendum An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code. This parameter provides two options: Not Required but Transmitted if Read or Required and Transmitted. • Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options. • Highlight an item, and tap on OK. When “Addendum” is set to Not Required but Transmitted if Read, the scanner searches for an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the parameter is set to Required and Transmitted, the scanner does not accept the main bar code without an addendum. Addendum Add-on 2 And Addendum Add-on 5 Enabling these parameters sets the length of the addendum bar code to either 2 or 5 characters. GTIN Compliant GTIN (global trade item number) processing transmits EAN 128 as the 14-character EAN/UCC GTIN. To use GTIN processing, you must activate the EAN 128 symbology. Important: When EAN 128 and GTIN processing are both activated, it is not possible to read normal EAN 128 Codes. Reading Range This parameter determines the reading distance from which a bar code can be successfully scanned. The default setting, Extended, allows for increased reading distance. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 159 Chapter 6: Configuration Code 93 Preliminary Draft 6.10.3.10 Code 93 Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 93”.

Field Size/Chars Refer to “Field Size/Chars” on page 142 for details. 166 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Imager 6.10.4 Imager • Tap on the Scanner drop-down menu, and choose Imager. 6.10.4.1 Imager – Options TekImager Enabled Setting this option to on enables the imager installed in your hand-held. Continuous Scan Mode 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 Note: This parameter must be disabled when reading Composite bar codes. 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 parameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and only that image is returned. Max Number Barcodes 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 167 Chapter 6: Configuration Imager – Advanced Options Preliminary Draft Barcodes Must Decode This parameter specifies the minimum number of bar codes that the imager must decode in order to report success. 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. Window Width “Window Width” determines the width of the captured image in pixels. Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if necessary; the driver will also use the “Window Width” value to horizontally center the image in the field of view. Window Height This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels. Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter, if necessary; the driver will also use the “Window Height” value to vertically center the image in the field of view. Dot Time (msec) The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting 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 Important: Do not adjust the advanced options without first consulting Psion Teklogix technical support. 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: The driver will default the imager device on a ‘clean’ reset, regardless of the value of this parameter. 168 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Imager – Advanced Options 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. Note: The actual scan duration when the trigger is pressed relies on the value assigned to “Captures Per HW Trigger”, below. 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. 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”. Auto Exposure Important: This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel. It should be left at the default value: on. 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 169 Chapter 6: Configuration Imager – Advanced Options Preliminary Draft 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 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 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 scenarios. 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. 170 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Code 39 Settings 6.10.4.3 Code 39 Settings Enabled Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 39”.

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 176 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 6: Configuration Display Parameters initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, doubleclicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data” value rather than initiating a scan. Click Data For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 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. 6.10.5.2 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. 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). Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 177 Chapter 6: Configuration Translations Tab Preliminary Draft 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. 6.10.6 Translations Tab The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the case are successful—if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails. • 178 In the Translation tab, tap on the Case # to create rules. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft • Chapter 6: Configuration Case Rules Tap on the No rule drop-down menu to display the rules. When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule. 6.10.6.1 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 179 Chapter 6: Configuration Case Rules • • Preliminary Draft 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 178) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing. 180 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft PERIPHERAL DEVICES & ACCESSORIES 7.1 Carrying Accessories . . . . . . . . 7.1.1 Attaching The Hand Strap 7.1.2 Soft Shell Holster. . . . . 7.2 The Battery . . . . . . . . . . . . . .182 .183 .183 .184 7.3 Adaptor Cable Options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .184 7.4 Chargers And Docking Stations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.4.1 Installation – Chargers And Docking Stations . . . . . . . 7.4.2 Power Consumption Considerations . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.4.3 Operator Controls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.4.4 Important Charger Safety Instructions . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5 Desktop Docking Station . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.1 Charging A Battery Installed In The Warrington . . . . . 7.5.2 Charging A Spare Battery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.3 Battery Charge Duration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.4 Charger LED Indicators . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.5 Troubleshooting The Charging Operation Of The Dock. . 7.5.5.1 Excessive Charge Duration . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.5.2 Indicator Flashing Red . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.5.3 Power LED Does Not Light Up. . . . . . . . . . 7.5.5.4 Indicator Does Not Light When Battery Installed 7.5.6 Linking A Warrington To A PC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.7 Linking A Warrington To An Ethernet Network. . . . . . 7.5.7.1 Network Access . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.5.8 Troubleshooting The Docking Station Operations . . . . . 7.6 AC Wall Adaptor– Model No. PX3010 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .184 .185 .185 .185 .185 .186 .188 .189 .189 .189 .189 .189 .190 .190 .190 .190 .191 .191 .192 .192 7.7 Automotive Power Adaptor—Model #WA3113-G2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .193 7.8 Quad Docking Station – PX3004. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.8.1 Quad Docking Station Setup . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.8.2 Quad Indicators. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.8.3 Inserting A Warrington In The Quad Docking Station.

Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 193 Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Quad Docking Station – PX3004 7.8 Preliminary Draft Quad Docking Station – PX3004 Note: The quad docking station is shipped with a docking manual. It is critical that this manual be reviewed for additional information and updates. The quad docking station permits each of four docked Warrington hand-helds to communicate with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network at greater than 2 Mbps. It also provides sufficient power to operate and fast charge the batteries in the units. 7.8.1 Quad Docking Station Setup After unpacking the unit: • Visually inspect the unit for any damage. • Install the IEC power cord and apply power. A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate that power is present. • Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock. A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is established. A user application must be loaded onto each Warrington that utilizes the quad dock for communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the quad dock is ready for use. 7.8.2 Quad Indicators The quad dock is equipped with a power indicator LED and RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid network link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector. 194 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Inserting A Warrington In The Quad Docking Station 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 charging 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 automatically 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 correlation 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. 7.8.5 Battery Charging – LED Behaviour The quad docking station supplies DC power to enable the Warrington internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the hand-held LED–the LED turns red while the battery is being charged and turns green once the charge is complete. If the battery is fully charged when the unit is inserted in the docking station, the LED flashes red for less than a second and then turns green. Battery charging continues whether the Warrington is switched on or off. It can take up to 4 hours to fully charge the internal battery.

Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer. Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance. 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 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 197 Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Using The Vehicle Cradle 7.9.3 Preliminary Draft 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. • • 7.9.4 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. Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle Two latches in the cradle hold the Warrington 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. 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 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: • • • 198 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation 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 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 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 199 Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories The Port Replicator 7.9.7 Preliminary Draft 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. 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 • • • • • 200 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Troubleshooting • 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. 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. • 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. Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual 201 Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Bluetooth Peripherals 7.11 Preliminary Draft 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 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 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. 202 Warrington Hand-Held Computer User Manual Preliminary Draft SPECIFICATIONS 8.1 Warrington Hand-Held Specifications . . . . . 8.1.1 Hardware . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.2 Software . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.3 Wireless Communication. . . . . . . 8.1.4 Bar Code Applications . . . . . . . . 8.1.5 Accessories . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.1.6 Approvals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.2 Warrington Radio Specifications . . . . . . . . 8.2.1 802.11b/g Radio . . . . . . . . . . . 8.2.2 Bluetooth Radio . . . . . . . . . . . 8.3 Scanner/Imager Specifications . . . . . . . . . 8.3.1 SE 955HP Specifications. . . . . . . 8.3.1.1 SE 955HP Decode Zone . . 8.3.2 EV15 Imager Specifications . . . . . 8.3.2.1 EV15 Imager Decode Zone .
