The integrated  GPS module has three operating modes:•    Standalone•    MS Assisted (Mobile Station Assisted)•    gpsOneXTRA™ (WWAN computers  only)In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS satellites to determine position.In MS Assisted mode, the computer can determine position without receiving GPS signals directly from satellites; instead, the computer receives GPS signals and information provided by the cellular network. Even when the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted can improve position accuracy and reduce the time to determine initial position (Time-To-First-Fix). Check with your cell phone carrier for availability and pricing for MS Assisted service.Qualcomm’s gpsOneXTRA Assistance technology provides enhanced operation for Standalone GPS. This option enables the UMTS-enabled computer to automatically download a small assis-tance data le from the XTRA servers through a brief internet  access session. To use this option, you must have a valid and activated WAN data connection.Note:    Internet connection fees may apply�Another option you can congure with iGPS is the x interval. The x interval denes how often the GPS should provide new information. Larger intervals use less power, but many applications require small intervals to work correctly. The default for x interval, in seconds, is 4. The Flexible Network Radio has a maximum interval of 4.Note:    Anytime you change the GPS settings, the phone module automatically resets�     It will not affect the functionality of the computer�To improve GPS performance:1    Go to Start > Settings > System > iGPS.2    In the Fix Interval tab, enter a value for the x interval. The default setting is 4 and should    be optimized for most applications.3    Tap the Fix Type tab and select one of these options: Standalone (1), MS assisted (2), or        Enable gpsOneXTRA (check box).4    Tap OK.

You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.• Make sure the bar code symbology is enabled and cong-ured correctly. Use ecom instruments Settings to check the symbologies. Expand Data Collection > Symbologies be-neath devices listed (scanner, virtual wedge) to check and enable symbologies, then scan the bar code label again.• Make sure the computer application is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to type this information instead.• The scanner may not be turned on or the scanner may be unable to scan a specic bar code. Run the ScanDiagnostic application to help you troubleshoot the problem. For more information, seeThe scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured.The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solu-tion of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive mate-rial to touch the window.You scan a valid bar code la-bel to enter data for your ap-plication. The data decoded by the scan module does not match the data encoded in the bar code label.The computer  may have decoded the bar code label in a symbol-ogy other than the label’s actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.The input device attached to the computer  does not work well or read bar code labels very quickly.Set the  Scanner Model  command to the specic attached input device. Check enabled bar code symbologies and enable only the symbologies being used.
