Getting to Know Your i.roc x20
Pocket PC
Congratulations on purchasing your Ecom i.roc® x20 Series Pocket PC.
Use this guide to help you set up your Pocket PC and to learn how it
works.
i.roc x20 Pocket PC to switch between the current application and the
last application you were running.
2.1 Using the Stylus
Your i.roc x20 Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to tap
or write on your screen.
You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an item with the
mouse on your computer.
Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an item
across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have completed
the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with the left mouse
button pressed on your computer.
Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short time until
a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to right-clicking
your computer mouse button. When you tap and hold, a circle of red
dots appears around the stylus to indicate that the menu will soon pop
up.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to your i.roc x20 Pocket PC screen, never use any
device other than the stylus that comes with the Pocket PC or an approved

Managing the Battery
Your i.roc x20 Pocket PC is shipped with a rechargeable battery that is
partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the Pocket
PC battery before setting up the device, and recharge regularly. Your
Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the clock.
While working at your desk, keep the Pocket PC and AC Adapter
connected through the ecom Desktop Cradle. When you travel, it is
recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or
an optional spare battery with you.
CAUTION: Use only an ecom approved battery for your i.roc x20 Pocket PC.
Inserting a battery that does not comply with ecom requirements might cause the
Pocket PC to malfunction and will void the ecom i.roc x20 limited warranty.
The i.roc x20 Pocket PC also has a small internal backup battery that
allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data (user-
installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within 15 minutes.
The internal battery can only be removed by qualified ecom Technical
Support.
4.1 Charging with the AC Adapter
The standard AC Adapter works in a standard electrical outlet. You can
also charge your Pocket PC in your automobile with an optional
Automobile Adapter that works in your vehicle’s electrical cigarette
lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
To purchase an optional Automobile Adapter, refer to the ecom Web
site at:
www.ecom.com/go/i.roc x20accessories
.
CAUTION: Use only ecom recommended AC adapters.
To charge your Pocket PC using the AC Adapter:
1. Insert the AC Adapter plug into the AC Charger adapter 1.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet 2.
3. Insert the AC Charger adapter into the bottom of the Pocket PC
CAUTION: To avoid damaging your Pocket PC or the AC Adapter, check to be
sure all connectors are properly aligned before connecting them.
4. When the Power button indicator on the front of the Pocket PC turns
solid amber, the device is fully charged and you can disconnect the AC
Adapter. The approximate time to fully charge a drained battery is four
hours.
Note:
A standard battery can be charged in about four hours; an
optional extended battery takes longer.
4.2 Charging with the ecom Desktop Cradle and
AC Adapter
Use the ecom Desktop Cradle to charge your Pocket PC.
Note:
It is not necessary to synchronize your Pocket PC before charging
it.
To charge your Pocket PC using the ecom Desktop Cradle:
1 Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet 1 and connect the
other end of the AC Adapter to the AC connector on the ecom Desktop
Cradle
Slide the bottom of your Pocket PC into the ecom i.roc x20
cradle and push firmly to seat it.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging your Pocket PC or the cradle, check tobe sure the
Pocket PC and cradle connectors are properly aligned before pushing the Pocket PC
into the ecom Desktop Cradle.
Note:
The amber charge light on the front of the Pocket PC blinks while
the battery is recharging and turns solid amber (nonblinking) when the
battery is fully charged.
4.3 Charging with the ecom Desktop Cradle and
USB Cable
An alternative method of charging the Pocket PC is to charge the device
by using a USB cable. However, because this charging method drains
the host battery (i.e., laptop), you must enable USB charging on the
Pocket PC before you can charge the device.
To charge your Pocket PC using the ecom Desktop Cradle and USB
Cable:
1. Turn on USB charging by tapping Start > Settings > System
tab > Power on the Pocket PC.
2. Select the USB Charging tab, and then check Use USB
Charging.
3. Tap OK once USB Charging has been enabled.
4. Connect one end of the USB sync cable to the bottom of the
Pocket PC.
5. Connect the USB cable to an available USB Port on your USB
powered device, such as a laptop.
Note:
The Pocket PC charges slower when using an USB cable than with
an AC Adapter.
4.4 Manually Checking the Battery Charge
Level
To manually monitor the battery power:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab.
2. Tap Power > Battery tab.
If the battery charge level is low, connect to AC power using the
ecom Desktop Cradle and the AC Adapter, or change the battery. For
information on purchasing an optional standard or extended battery,
visit the ecom Web site at
To use a shortcut to view your battery charge level, tap the Battery
icon located in the TodayPanel Lite on the Today screen plug in.
Battery Saving Tip: Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power >
Advanced tab, then tap the Turn off device if not used for checkbox
and set it to turn your i.roc x20 Pocket PC off after a short time of not
being used.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you do not allow the battery installed in your i.roc
x20 Pocket PC to discharge completely. Doing so does not harm your Pocket PC or
battery; however, you will lose all data not stored in File Store (ROM). Discharging the
battery completely is similar to performing a hard reset. Refer to “Performing a Hard
Reset” in Chapter 1 for more information.
4.5 Power Saving Tips
Here are some power saving tips to help save energy in your
Pocket PC battery.
Set the backlight to go off quickly (10 or 30 seconds) after you stop
using your Pocket PC, or implement Power Save mode to turn off
the backlight completely. For more information, refer to “Changing
the Backlight Settings” later in this chapter.

Using Security Features
The widespread use of Pocket PCs has significantly increased employee
productivity. However, non-secured or inadequately secured Pocket
PCs are creating network security issues for the corporate workplace
when they connect to a secure network.
Valuable information is bypassing network security and being stored on
inadequately secured Pocket PCs. The ecom ProtectTools security
features provide on-device security protection so there is less risk of
losing sensitive information on your Pocket PC.
8.1 Using ecom ProtectTools
ecom ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC by providing
authentication and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes,
tasks, and/or all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be
used to encrypt data stored on expansion cards.
When you enable ecom ProtectTools, you have the option of enrolling
a fingerprint or entering a PIN and/or password to access the Pocket
PC. If you are unable to successfully swipe your fingerprint or you
forget your PIN or password, you can access the device with a backup
question and answer.
CAUTION: ecom ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC and the data stored
on it. If you are unable to access your device with any of the above methods, there is
no way to unlock your device. You have to restore your device to factory settings,
resulting in the loss of all data on your i.roc x20 Pocket PC, including data stored in i.roc
x20 File Store. It is recommended that you remember your PIN/password and
question/answer.
Encrypting/Decrypting Data
If your i.roc x20 Pocket PC has been off for longer than the time you
selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the
device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your fingerprint,
PIN, and/or password. After successful authentication, your data is
decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of
data you chose to have encrypted. However, encryption runs in the
background, and you can perform other tasks on your i.roc x20 Pocket
PC during this time.
You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:
If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption
Settings screen during setup, the ecom ProtectTools window
displays the decryption status.
If you choose not to display this status, the
encryption/decryption process proceeds in the background,
allowing you to use your Pocket PC for other purposes.
In either case, a blue lock icon appears in the Taskbar at the
bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon
disappears, decryption is complete. Typically the Pocket PC
responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption
process.
You must authenticate yourself and wait for the decryption process to
complete before synchronizing using Microsoft ActiveSync. If
decryption is not complete before synchronization begins, ActiveSync
may not be initiated. To correct the problem, disconnect and reconnect
the device after decryption is complete.
If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is recommended
that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to automatically initiate
synchronization. Since authentication and decryption are necessary
when the Pocket PC is turned on, automatic synchronization does not
work properly when ecom ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem
may also arise when using other server-based synchronization
products.
Changing Your ecom ProtectTools Settings
If you want to change any of your security information, you can do so
easily. Tap the yellow lock icon in the Taskbar at the bottom of the
Today screen.
Five options are displayed:
Lock Device
Logoff

encrypted.
Change Passwords
To change your fingerprint, PIN or Password:
1. Tap Change Passwords.
2. Swipe your finger or enter your current PIN or password to
authenticate yourself.
3. Select the information you want to change (Fingerprint,
PIN/password or Question/Answer pair), then tap the Change
button.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to make the change.
Manage Encrypted Folders
By default, all data in the My Documents folder is encrypted. Selecting
Manage Encrypted Folders allows you to choose other folders to store
encrypted data. These can include data stored on expansion cards.
To select other folders to store encrypted data:
1. Tap Manage Encrypted Folders.
2. Tap Encrypted Folder at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap Add.
4. Enter the name, location, and estimated size of the folder to be
encrypted.
Note:
The size of the folder is its maximum size and cannot be changed.
5. Tap OK. The device formats the new folder.

technology from the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) used for
wireless local area networks (WLANs).
Device-to-computer or
ad-hoc
A mode that does not use access points. It
provides independent peer-to-peer
connectivity in a wireless LAN.
Domain Name System
(DNS)
The way that Internet domain names are
located and translated into IP addresses. It is
an easy to remember name for an Internet
address. Every website has its own specific IP
address on the Internet.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Term Definition
Encryption An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers)
conversion process of data primarily used for
protection against any unauthorized person(s).
Hotspots Public or private areas where you can access Wi-Fi
service. These wireless connections can be
located, for example, at a library, cyber cafe,
hotel, airport lounge, or convention center. This
service can be free or sometimes requires a fee.
Infrastructure
Internet Protocol
(IP) Address
Media Access
Control (MAC)
Address
This connection mode uses wireless access points
to connect to networks.
A 128-bit number that identifies each sender or
receiver of information that is sent in packets
across the Internet. For example, when you
request an HTML page or send e-mail, the Internet
Protocol part of TCP/IP includes your IP address in
the message. In this example, this information
identifies your computer as the sender and/or
receiver of information.
A computer’s unique hardware number in a
network, which also can provide security for

that have had their MAC addresses added to that
network’s MAC table can access the network.
(Continued)
Term Definition
Security Set Identifier
(SSID)
A sequence of 32 characters uniquely defining (naming)
a WLAN. Basically, each set of wireless devices
communicating with each other is called a basic service
set (BSS). Several BSSs can be joined to form one logical
WLAN, called an extended service set (ESS). An SSID is
the 1-32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive name given to
each ESS.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA)
The Wi-Fi encryption method that protects
unauthorized network access by utilizing a setup
password (for personal use) or by verifying network
users through a server (for enterprise use).
Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS)
A way of managing the association of workstation
names and locations with IP addresses
Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP)
Basic wireless security provided by Wi-Fi. This security
uses an encryption key that automatically encrypts
outgoing wireless data. On the receiving side, the same
encryption key enables the computer to automatically
decrypt the information so it can be read.
Wireless Access Point

which configures both scanner device and keyboard emulator
software.
The screenshots shows the main window before and after a
connection. After a successful connection to a scanner, the device
information will be shown in the main window.
12.3 Hardware
There is a “Hardware” menu for all hardware topics:
There are two entries inside this menu:
Settings
Configure Device
(deactivated if no device is online, it will be activated after a successful
connect)
Settings
Before the application can connect to a scanner device, the serial

about the methods from RF x10 API used within Configuration Tool
application.
Configure Device
The “Configure Device” dialog contains tab pages grouping similar
options. It also contains three buttons: one for read the configuration
settings of the scanner device, one for write the configuration settings
of the scanner device and one to reset the configuration to the default
factory settings. After a read or a reset operation, the controls from
every page are updated to the corresponding values.
The first page refers to the operation mode of the device and the other
options linked to this operation mode:
In the combo box, you can specify the operation mode in which the
device should work.
There are three possibilities:
Read
Write
Buffered read (for future extension)
If you select read operation mode, there are also two possibilities for
configuring the device depending whether you check SNR option or
not. With this option checked, the device will read only the serial
number of a transponder coming inside scanner’s antenna range. If this
option is not checked, the user is able to specify the start block number
and the number of blocks to be read.
In write operation mode start address and number of blocks have the
same meaning like in read operation mode with SNR not checked. Data
that will be written to a transponder can be specified in the text box
below the “data to write” label.
The block size defines the size of a block from a transponder.
The second page specifies some of the options of the scanner device:
If AFI is activated, you can specify the AFI value through the numeric
up-down control. In AFI mode, only those transponders are read or
written to which AFI match the defined AFI.
If singleshot check box is checked the response will be in the single
shot, otherwise we will have a permanent output.
If the preload check box is checked, in case of a write command, data is
written to the next transponder, otherwise, data is written to the
transponder currently within antenna range.
If SNR checkbox is checked it means that serial number is transmitted
in telegram, otherwise serial number is not transmitted in telegram.
If anticollision check box is checked, it means that the anti-collision is
activated otherwise is deactivated.
If report mode check box is checked, the device works in report mode,
otherwise it works in online mode.
The third page referrers to the transponders type that are supported
by a scanner device:
The fourth page referrers to the
switching and trigger mode types:
This page is for internal purpose only.
If trigger check box is checked, the scanner will read a transponder only
if trigger condition is set, otherwise it reads always. If trigger is set, you
can select one of the four modes of trigger from the combo box below.
You can also specify the trigger period from the corresponding numeric
up-down control.
If switching output check box is set, it means that switching output is
switched automatically, otherwise switching output is not switched. If
switching output is set, you can select one of the four modes of
switching output from the combo box below. You can also specify the
switching output period from the corresponding numeric up-down
control.
