Installing the SPS 3000 SDK
The Symbol SPS 3000 Windows CE SDK (Software Developers
Kit) provides the tools necessary to create and deploy bar code
scanning applications for the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.
Note: The SDK contains the scan drivers needed to operate
the SPS 3000.
Download the SDK from the Software Developer Zone at this web
address:
http://software.symbol.com/devzone
After the SDK is properly installed, reboot the iPAQ by pressing
the reset button with the stylus.
Checking the Battery Power
(For S24/LAN units only)
1. Power on the iPAQ by depressing and releasing the power
button.
2. Open the "START" screen and select "Settings."
3. From the bottom of the "Settings" screen, select "System."
4. Scroll the screen, if necessary, and select the "Power" icon.

5. The state of the expansion pack bettery can be found under
the “External battery:” entry.
Charging the SPS 3000 Battery
(For SAN/LAN units only)
The SPS 3000 battery is internal and cannot be removed.
The battery can be charged with the expansion pack connected to
an iPAQ or unconnected to an iPAQ.
Charging Expansion Pack Alone
1. Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power
jack on the expansion pack.

Note: A fully discharged battery should recharge in approxi-
mately 2.5 hours. There is no indication that the battery
is charging or is fully charged. The iPAQ must be used
to check the battery status.
2. Once battery is fully charged, the external power from the AC
adapter can be removed.
Expansion Pack Connected to an iPAQ
1. Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power
jack on the iPAQ or on the expansion pack, or place the two
units into a cradle that has the AC adapter power plug con-
nected.
2. The battery in the expansion pack will begin to charge only
after the battery in the iPAQ has become fully charged. The
iPAQ battery takes approximately 2.5 hrs. to charge when
fully discharged.
3. From the "Power" screen, the state of the expansion pack
battery can be found under the "External battery:" entry.
4. The expansion pack, when being charging, will have "Re-
charging state:" and "Charging" state immediately above the
bar graph on the iPAQ charging screen.
Note: Note that the bar graph will be continuously stepping
from 0 to 100% as the battery is charging.
5. Once the expansion pack battery is completely charged, the
entry above the bar graph will change to read "Battery power
remaining:" and the bar graph will be filled to 100%.
6. Once the expansion pack battery is completely charged, the
external power from the AC adapter can be removed.
Inserting the iPAQ into the SPS 3000
1. Slide the iPAQ through the SPS 3000 sleeves to connect the
iPAQ and SPS 3000.

Quick Reference
2. The iPAQ and SPS 3000 are joined when their expansion
connectors are fully engaged. (You will hear a slight click.)
To remove the SPS 3000, push up on the bottom of the iPAQ to
disengage the expansion connector, then slide the iPAQ off the
SPS 3000 sleeves.
When inserting the iPAQ and SPS 3000 into the cradle, ensure
that the retractable stabilizing arms located on the inside of the
cradle are extended. These will provide a secure fit between the
units. If the arms are not extended before inserting the iPAC and
