Chapter 1: Overview
About this Manual
Intended for authorized developers with prior knowledge of Windows CE .NET and hand held PC
application development using eMbedded Visual C++ and Visual Studio .NET, this manual describes
the advanced features, operations and interface capabilities of Two Technologies’ JETT•RFID. It is not
for use by end-users.
Because the JETT•RFID is a highly customizable product with many optional configurations and
special keypad layouts, this manual only describes the standard features and operation of the
JETT•RFID. For custom configurations and special options, consult the appropriate supplemental
manual or addendum.
Unless otherwise stated, the operational characteristics described herein correspond to factory default
configurations and settings as shipped from Two Technologies. Wherever used herein, the term
“JETT•RFID” applies to all models (except as noted).
It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide operating system tutorials or information about
commercial or customized JETT•RFID application programs and connected equipment. This
information should be available in the manuals that accompany those products.
About Two Technologies
Two Technologies has been producing rugged hand held/panel mount terminals and computers for
over fifteen years. By implementing state of the art design and manufacturing techniques, we
revolutionized hand held terminals and computers inside and out. Today, Two Technologies offers
over a dozen cost-effective solutions serving virtually every market worldwide.
About RFID
Similar to bar code scanning, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a wireless communication
technology that uses the RF portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit and receive
information from EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags. The tags can come in many shapes and sizes,
such as disks, cards or paper labels (smart labels) and can store a simple identification number or a
sophisticated database.
RFID technology is based on the simple idea that a reader can activate an electronic circuit inside a tag
from a distance and exchange information. An integrated circuit inside the reader creates an alternating
current. This current generates an alternating magnetic field through the reader’s antenna that serves as
a power source for a RFID tag. This magnetic field interacts with the antenna in the tag, which in turn,
activates the tag’s integrated circuit causing the tag to create a digital signal, which contains an encoded
identifier number.
The tag then generates its own alternating magnetic field, which interacts with the reader’s alternating
magnetic field. A device inside the RFID reader senses the variations and converts this pattern to the
digital signal, which interprets the tag's identifier code.

Chapter 3: Operation
Power
Power/Suspend Switch
The On/Off switch is located above the keypad. Its function depends on the state of the JETT•RFID at
the time the switch is pressed and on the length of time that the switch is depressed. Operations that the
Power switch can initiate are:
• Power On
• Power Off
• Suspend
• Reset (Warm Boot)
Figure A-1: Power/Suspend Switch
Power On
To power on the JETT•RFID:
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch for one second.
2. The unit should turn on and begin displaying the boot-up process. For example:
Where x.x.x is the version number
***** JETT.ce
*****
Loader Ver x.x.x Socket Booting from System
Loading CE image...
################ #
3. After approximately 20-25 seconds, the Windows CE .NET desktop should appear.
However, because there is no outward indication (such as a flashing LED) that the JETT•RFID
is powered off or in Suspend mode, the JETT•RFID may resume an active application if it is
indeed in a suspended state.
3-1
If the unit does not power up or you cannot select any items from the desktop, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” chapter for help.
Power Off
To turn off the JETT•RFID, press and hold the ON/Off switch for approximately eight seconds. This
action will also terminate running applications and cease serial port operations).
Suspend Mode
Suspend mode allows you to suspend, but not terminate active applications. In this mode, the display
will turn off and the JETT•RFID will cease serial port operations. For battery-powered units, use of
Suspend mode also conserves battery power.
To place the unit in Suspend mode, press and release the ON/Off switch.
To take the JETT•RFID out of Suspend mode, either touch the screen or press and release any key. The
display will turn on and the JETT•RFID will resume running any suspended application, but you must
restart any serial port operations.
If you attempt to resume immediately after suspending the JETT•RFID or vice versa, the unit will
automatically delay three seconds before resuming or suspending.
Reset
To reset (warm-boot) the JETT•RFID, press and hold the ON/Off switch between three and five
seconds. The screen should turn off, and the boot-up process should start. After approximately 20-25
seconds, the Windows CE .NET desktop should appear.
Note: Holding the Power/Resume button longer than six seconds will turn off the JETT•RFID.
Operation
3-2
Battery-Powered Operation
Battery-powered units can utilize a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack that has an
average operating time between ten and twelve hours on a full charge with power management and
approximately eight hours without power management. As with all battery-powered devices, the
operating time is completely dependent on the environment, device usage and the number and type of
power-drawing peripherals attached. The battery discharge rate in a full “Power Off” state is only
slightly higher to the self-discharge rate of the battery itself.
Note: Allowing the batteries to remain in a low or very low condition will cause the unit to enter Suspend
mode. In either case, you should save your work and recharge the unit as soon as possible
Power Management
To lengthen the time between charges, you can perform the following actions:
• Use external power for PC Card operations whenever possible— some PC Cards as well as
extended communication via the serial port, may require large amounts of power to operate,
and can quickly drain the batteries.
• Limit the use of backlight—minimize backlight use when you are operating on battery
power. You can adjust the backlight timeout level through the Display Settings in the Control
Panel or on some units by using the keypad.
• Shorten Auto-suspend time—the JETT•RFID is automatically set to suspend operation to
conserve battery power when you have not used the keyboard or the stylus after three

Table 3-1.
Figure A-1: Charge\Low Battery Indicator
Table 3-1: Charge\Low Battery Indicator Functions
Function Description
CHARGE With the power supply connected, the CHARGE/LOW BAT LED will indicate one of
following conditions:
High Power Charge—the LED will turn solid green
Fully/Near Full Charge—the LED will blink green about four times a second
Trickle Charge—the LED will blink green approximately once per second
when either the battery voltage and/or temperature of the battery assembly
are not within acceptable limits
LOW BAT With the power supply disconnected, the CHARGE/LOW BAT LED will indicate one
of following conditions:
Batteries are low— the CHARGE/LOW BAT LED will blink red once per
second when there is approximately 60 minutes of power remaining
Batteries are very low—the CHARGE/LOW BAT LED will turn solid red
when there is approximately 10 minutes of power is remaining
JETT•RFID Technical Reference Manual, MAN0339, Rev. A, Preliminary 3-3
Charging the Unit
The nickel metal hydride battery technology used in the JETT•RFID has exceptional charge life without
the “charge memory” characteristic of conventional nickel cadmium batteries. Partially discharged bat-
teries or extended periods with the charger left connected will not adversely affect battery life or per-
formance.
Note: Because the internal battery charger senses several conditions, including temperature, you should
charge the unit away from any known or potential heat sources. Units exposed to temperatures in excess
of 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the charge cycle may experience incomplete charging and reduced
operating time per charge.
To charge a battery-powered JETT•RFID:
1. Plug the power supply connector into the corresponding connector on the bottom of the
JETT•RFID. Plug the power supply transformer into a power outlet. See Figure A-1.
2. The Charge LED should turn on, indicating that the batteries are charging. While the
JETT•RFID is charging, you can still use it.
3. Once the battery is fully charged (approximately three hours), you can disconnect the AC
power supply and run the JETT•RFID exclusively on battery power.
Changing Batteries
To change batteries:
1. With the unit face down, pull the battery cover retaining clip up from its recessed slot and turn
the clip in a counter clockwise motion.
2. Lift the cover up and remove the batteries.
3. If the unit contains a battery pack, use the tab on the battery pack to lift up and then out.

Data Entry
45-Key Keypad
In order to provide the functionality of a full-sized keyboard with only 45 keys, the JETT•RFID keypad
must depart from PC-style key assignment conventions. Units configured with the standard 45-key
keypad typically utilize five LED indicators (located above the ON/OFF switch) to indicate the active
state of keypad modifier keys. Units with internal batteries also use a LED to indicate the battery status
(Table 3-1). Units with 45-key keypads also have keypad functions to adjust the contrast and backlight.

JETT•RFID Technical Reference Manual, MAN0339, Rev. A, Preliminary 3-13
Persistent Registry
Saving Changes to the Registry
The JETT•RFID internal memory consists of DRAM and Flash. Typically, any changes made to the
JETT•RFID including file creation are temporarily stored in the unit’s DRAM. You must then copy the
files from DRAM to internal flash memory or a removable compact flash card to store the information
permanently. Consequently, if you do not store the information to flash memory and the unit loses
power, all information stored in DRAM will be lost. However, whenever you make changes that affect
the registry, such and changing settings in the Control Panel or installing software, you can
permanently store registry changes without writing to flash memory by using the Persistent Registry.
Note: The JETT•RFID will also store registry information when you perform a suspend operation.
To store registry information on the JETT•RFID permanently:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs and tap SaveReg.
2. The JETT•RFID will begin saving the registry.
After you successfully save the registry, a message box will appear:

Chapter 5: Application Development
Application Types
Before writing applications for Windows CE .NET 4.2 and the JETT•RFID, you will need to determine if
your applications will consist of managed code and/or native code.
• Managed code makes use of run-time environment application programming interfaces
(APIs), provides integrated security and memory management and is portable across software
platforms and processors. Code written in Microsoft Studio .NET 2003 is managed code.
• Native code uses a specific set of software platform APIs and microprocessor and as a result,
the compiled code will only run on that specific software platform and processor. Typically,
native code offers the highest performance with the smallest footprint, but it also requires
developers to write their own security and memory management code. Code written in
eMbedded Visual C++ is native code.
The type of application being created will dictate the choice between native and Microsoft .NET—
connected code. When a consistent programming model and time-to-market are the primary
considerations, use Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Compact Framework. When performance, the
smallest working set, and low-level control are a top priority, use eMbedded Visual C++.
Development Tools
To write Windows CE .NET 4.2 applications for the JETT•RFID, you will need to obtain one the
following Microsoft products:
• Visual Studio .NET 2003—this development tool installed with the .NET Compact
Framework allows you to build embedded managed applications for the JETT•RFID using C#
.NET and Visual Basic .NET.
• eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0—a standalone integrated development environment (IDE)
designed for developing native C++ applications for JETT•RFID.
If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003, you will also need to download and install Windows
CE Utilities for Visual Studio .NET 2003, which enables you to connect to the JETT•RFID.
If you are using eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, you will also need to install the Two Technologies’
JETT•RFID SDK, which is part of the JETT•RFID Software Development Kit (SDK). It
includes APIs for application development, user interface design elements, and
documentation.
Other development tools you need include:
• ActiveSync 3.7—this Microsoft utility allow you to transfer files between the JETT•RFID and
your development system.
• JETTkbtool.exe—included with the JETT•RFID SDK, this MS-DOS application enables you to
remap the JETT•RFID keyboard.
5
-1
Note: As of this writing, eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, ActiveSync 3.7 and Windows CE Utilities for Visual Studio
.NET 2003 are available as downloads on Microsoft’s website. After installing any Microsoft product, you
should check their website for newer versions or service packs.
Using Visual Studio .NET
Visual Studio .NET 2003 provides a robust development environment for creating applications that
target the .NET Compact Framework. Included with Visual Studio .NET is a set of pre-built device
profiles. A device profile contains information necessary to build applications that target specific
devices, such as the JETT•RFID.
System Requirements
To use Visual Studio .NET 2003, your development system must meet the following minimum
requirements:
Processor 450 MHz Pentium II,
Operating Systems Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server or Professional (SP3 or later) or
Windows XP Professional or Home Edition¹
RAM Memory Windows Server 2003 & Windows XP Professional : 160 MB
Windows 2000 Professional & Windows XP Home Edition: 96 MB of RAM
Windows 2000 Server: 192 MB of RAM
Disk Space System Drive: 900 MB, Installation Drive: 3.3 GB
Optional MSDN Library documentation: 1.9 GB
Drive CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
Display Super VGA (1024 x 768) or higher-resolution display with 256 colors
Mouse Mouse or compatible pointing device
1. Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not support creating ASP.NET Web applications or ASP.NET XML Web services when using
Windows XP Home Edition.
The .NET Compact Framework
The .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the .NET Framework designed specifically for small,
resource-constrained devices, such as the JETT•RFID. Applications that run on top of the .NET
Compact Framework are able to use a range of run-time services—including a common language run-
time, memory management, and a rich set of base classes that handle security, data access, and XML
Web services.
Supported Languages
The .NET Compact Framework currently supports two development languages, C# .NET and Visual
Basic .NET.
You should also be aware that there is another language limitation under the .NET Compact
Framework. Under the .NET Framework, you can use mixed-language components within a single
project. In comparison, .NET Compact Framework projects are restricted to a single language, either C#
.NET or Visual Basic .NET. The workaround to this single-language project limitation imposed by .NET
Compact Framework is to create additional projects using the Class template. Add your alternate
language code to the template, and then simply add references to these classes in your application
project.
Application Development

-2
.NET Compact Framework Limitations
You use the same Visual Studio .NET environment that you use when developing desktop applications,
but in order to fit the .NET Framework into the operating constraints of Windows CE, the following
limitations apply:
• Method Overloads—overloading a method provides alternative ways to call that method, but
it also increases the size of the Framework. As a result, the .NET Compact Framework
trimmed the overloads from almost all methods. Consequently, there is a good chance that a
particular method overload you used with a desktop application will not be available when
developing .NET Compact Framework-based applications.
• Missing Controls—a number of .NET Framework controls are not part of the .NET Compact
Framework. The absence of most of these controls (such as printing) is insignificant to mobile
developers. You can replace many of the missing dialogs with your own dialogs or by
accessing system dialogs directly using the Windows CE API.
• XML Functionality—as much as the .NET Compact Framework offers in the way of XML, an
equal amount of functionality was trimmed. A key missing XML-related component is the
System.Xml.Xpath namespace. In its absence, you can use a combination of recursive and
iterative searches against the Document Object Model (DOM). Another missing key XML
component is Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), which convert an XML
document into different formats. In addition, the .NET Compact Framework does not
currently provide support for developing device-based XML Web services.
• Database Support—the .NET Compact Framework offers a robust set of data-related tools.
SQL Server CE provides local database support, while on the server side, the .NET Compact
Framework provides support for SQL Server.
• Binary Serialization—due to size and performance considerations both the BinaryFormatter
and SoapFormatter classes are not part from the .NET Compact Framework.
• Access to the Windows Registry—the .NET Framework uses the Microsoft.Win32.Registry
namespace to work with the Windows registry from an application. Because it relates to Win32
and not Windows CE, this namespace was not included in the .NET Compact Framework.
However, you can access the Windows CE registry by invoking the relevant Windows APIs.
• Leveraging COM Components—incorporating COM objects into a .NET Compact
Framework-based application is a two-step process. First, you must write an unmanaged DLL
wrapper using eMbedded Visual C++ that exposes the COM object. Then, you must use
Pinvoke to access your DLL wrapper.
• Security—the .NET Compact Framework does not secure access to unmanaged code. Any
application can call any system or non-system API. There is currently no role-based security
with the .NET Compact Framework. The principal object has no understanding of known
identity or known role.

XML Web Services—the most notable exclusion from the .NET Compact Framework XML
Web service capabilities is the ability to use cookies. Cookies are widely used to maintain st
on the server between calls from a client. While the use of cookies in Web services is not as
prevalent as their use on Web sites, they are still in use. The .NET Compact Framework offers
limited cryptographic abilities with respect to Web services.
Printing—the .NET Compact Framework provides no support for printing. There is no easy
way to interact with network printers. The workaround for accessing network printers is to
build a server-based application, which accepts and prints jobs submitted by your application.

Integrating JETT•RFID Functionality
Keyboard Mapping
JETTkbtool.exe, designed to run on your development system, is a command line utility that creates a
key map file. This key map file, when included as part of the FileCopy.txt file, will remap the current
JETT•RFID keypad configuration externally (outside of an application), when the unit boots up.
During the boot sequence, the JETT•RFID searches in ascending alphanumeric order for existing key
map files (identified by their .rmt extension). When the JETT•RFID encounters a files of this type, it
checks the key map ID number. If the ID number contained in the key map file matches the number
stored in the JETT•RFID’s hardware configuration block, the values in that file are used to map to the
keypad.
A 45-key and 55-key keypad template file (Jet55key.txt) and a 15-key keypad (Jet15key.txt) template file
are included with the JETT•RFID SDK. A sample file appears on the following page.
Syntax
JETTKBTOOL filename.ext
Option Description
filename.ext Specifies the name of the file containing the keypad template. The file name must
follow MS-DOS 8.3 naming conventions.
Default file names: 45-key keypad = Jet55key.txt, 15-key keypad = Jet15key.txt
Example
The following example executes JETTKBTOOL using Jet55key.txt as it argument to create the file,
Jet55key.rmt.
JETTKBTOOL Jett55key.txt
Errors Messages
Message Description

The entry (XXX) is not a valid keyword on the specified
line (NNN)
Invalid line NNN The entry specified on line NNN is either misspelled,
not allowed or not formatted correctly
Key Map Template File Configuration Notes
Scan codes “USER_DEF1” through “USER_DEF10” can produce some proprietary action, such as
backlight adjustment, display rotation, etc. For each user-defined key-function (except as noted below),
you must supply the appropriate code in the keyboard driver to produce the desired effect.
“USER_DEF3” defines the Backlight + key and “USER_DEF4” defines the Backlight – key.
The “FUNCTION” keyword identifies those function accessed through the “2nd” key. The “RETURN”
keyword identifies the “ENTER” key. The “WINMENU” keyword produces the Windows “Start”
menu.
The number in COLS must always be set to 5 regardless of the actual number of columns (applies to 15-
key keypads as well).
Do not change the ID number, it must match the number stored in the JETT•RFID’s hardware
configuration block.
Table 5-1 lists the allowable values and names of allowable values that you can map to a keypad.

Generating Audio Tones
The JETT•RFID has a beep driver that you can incorporate into an application for various purposes,
such as notifying an operator that an malfunction occurred or that a process has finished. You can
access the beep driver directly or via Beep.DLL. Parameters that you can define include frequency,
volume and duration (in milliseconds).
Accessing the Beep Driver Directly
The following code snippets (written in eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0) show you how to incorporate beep
driver calls directly into an application
Beep Driver File Structure
The following code shows the file structure used by the beep driver. It also lists the minimum and
maximum allowable values for each parameter.
#ifndef __BEEP_H__
#define __BEEP_H__
typedef struct
{
DWORD dwFrequency; // Frequency
DWORD dwVolume; // Volume
DWORD dwDurationMs; // Beep duration in ms
} BEEP_USER,*PBEEP_USER;
#define FREQUENCY_MIN 56 // Frequency Min
#define FREQUENCY_MAX 20000 // Frequency Max
#define VOLUME_MIN 1 // Normalized Volume Min
#define VOLUME_MAX 100 // Normalized Volume Max
#define DURATIONMS_MIN 0x0 // DurationMs Min
#define DURATIONMS_MAX 10000 // DurationMs Max – 10 secs
BEEP_USER bsBeep;
HANDLE hBEPDevice = NULL;
DWORD dwNumberofBytesRead = 0;
#endif
Creating and Writing to the Beep Driver File
The following code shows how to specify the beep parameters, create a file to store the parameters,
validate that the parameters are within range and then write the values to the file.
If you are generating a series of beeps, you should put a delay of at least one millisecond between each
beep to avoid sound overlap.
bsBeep.dwFrequency = 500;
bsBeep.dwVolume = 20;
bsBeep.dwDurationMs = 1000;
hBEPDevice = CreateFile(L”BEP1:”,
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
WriteFile(hBEPDevice,&bsBeep,sizeof(bsBeep),&dwNumberofBytesRead,0);
CloseHandle(hBEPDevice);

tasks into an application:
• Turn auxiliary power on and off for internal integrated devices, such as RFID or Bluetooth
cards
• Setting the screen brightness.
Turning Auxiliary Power On and Off
The following code snippet (written in Visual Basic .NET) shows you how to turn on and off auxiliary
power:
‘ Jettce.dll auxiallry power functions.
‘ Turn auxiallry power on.
Private Declare Sub TurnAuxOn Lib “jettce” Alias “TurnAuxSwitchOn” ()
‘ Turn auxiallry power off.
Private Declare Sub TurnAuxOff Lib “jettce” Alias “TurnAuxSwitchOff” ()
Adjusting Screen Brightness
The following code snippet (written in Visual Basic .NET) shows you how to adjust screen brightness in
20 percent increments/decrements:
‘ Jettce.dll screen brightness functions.
‘ Increment screen brightness (+) 20%.
Private Declare Sub IncScreenBrightness Lib “jettce” Alias “IncBrightness” ()

You can create an ASCII text input file to automatically copy files and create folders when booting up
the JETT•RFID.
During the boot up process, the JETT•RFID looks in the \SystemCF folder for the FileCopy.txt file, and
if found, opens the file and then parses and executes its contents.
When the file copy function executes, it creates the FCLog.txt file in the \SystemCF folder. This log file
will contain any errors encountered during the execution of the FileCopy.txt file.
FileCopy.txt Commands
Each line in the FileCopy.txt file must begin with one of the following command line arguments:
Function Arguments
Copy File copy <\path\source_file> <\path\file_name>
Make Directory md <\path\directory> or mkdir <\path\directory>
If a file or directory name includes one or more spaces, the whole path must appear within quotes. For
example:
copy \systemcf\helloworld.exe “\program files\helloworld.exe”
Example
In the example below, the first line does not require quotes since neither the source path nor the
destination path include a space character. However, the second and third lines do require quotes
because the folder name “My App” contains a space character.
Copy \systemcf\mfcce.dll \windows\mfcce400d.dll
md “\My Apps\”
copy \systemcf\helloworld.exe “\ My Apps\helloworld.exe”

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Problem My JETT•RFID does not respond when I press the power button.
Solutions Is the unit in Suspend mode?
If battery-powered, check the batteries.
Are all cables connected properly:
• Is the power supply plugged into an active AC outlet?
• Is the power connector securely plugged into the JETT•RFID?
Problem I changed my system settings, but when I turn on the JETT•RFID my settings are
gone.
Solution You must save the registry after making any system or configuration changes.
Problem I transferred files to the JETT•RFID from my host computer, but when I turn on the
JETT•RFID my transferred files are missing.
Solution To store transferred files permanently, you must file copy the files into internal flash
memory or a compact flash card.
Occasionally, transferred files can be hidden from view, double-tap My Computer,
select Options from the View menu and clear all boxes.
Problem I cannot connect to the development system using ActiveSync.
Solutions Did you install ActiveSync using the Administrator account?
Check the cable connections.
Check the serial communications configuration.
Make sure the correct COM port is available.
In ActiveSync, check the Connection Settings for the connection type you are using
(USB, Serial or Ethernet).
Problem The screen is too light or too dark.
Solution Adjust the brightness via the brightness control in the Control Panel.
6-1
Problem The stylus is not responding properly.
Solution The screen is not calibrated correctly to interpret the screen taps. You need to
recalibrate the screen.
Problem The JETT•RFID acts slowly.
Solutions The unit may be short of program memory or storage memory.
Increase the amount of storage or program memory through the System control in
the Control Panel.
You can also delete any unnecessary files.
Problem I get little or no sound from the JETT•RFID.
Solution Adjust the volume and sound properties via the Volume and Sound control in the
Control Panel.
Problem The JETT•RFID does not recognize a compact flash or device card.
Solution The card is not installed or seated properly.
Reinstall the card. There may be an unstable connection between the card and the
JETT•RFID.
Remove the card, clean the edge connector with a soft dry cloth, and reinstall the
card.
Problem The JETT•RFID goes into auto-suspend after a short period of inactivity.
Solution As a default, the device will auto-suspend after two minutes of inactivity while
running on batteries and after thirty minutes of inactivity when running on AC
power.
Adjust the power management properties via the Power control in the Control
Panel.
Problem No sound is heard when you tap the touch screen or press a key.
Solution Volume setting is low or turned off.
Check the volume slider in the Volume & Sound properties dialog box in the
Control Panel.
