2 BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE

Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is to charge them. See below.

CAUTION

By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.

2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

NOTE

The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.

The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.

It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply directly to the Elf.

Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger.

Moreover recharging is possible by USB Direct connection with the host computer, but with longer charging times and only if the mobile computer is off.

During the charging process the LED positioned at the left side of the display is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant (see par. 4.5).

If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by inserting it into the rear slot of the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger.

CAUTION

Do not use the Elf until batteries are charged for minimum 4 hours.

CAUTION

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION (SAR)

This model device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. •Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the below FCC IDs:

Defined by the IEEE as the 802.3 standard, Ethernet is used to connect computers in a company or home network as well as to connect a single computer to a cable modem or DSL modem for Internet access.

Firmware

Firmware is a software program or set of instructions programmed on a hardware device. It provides the necessary instructions for how the device communicates with the other computer hardware. Firmware is typically stored in the flash ROM of a hardware device. While ROM is "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and rewritten because it is actually a type of flash memory.

Flash Disk

Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files.

GSM

Global System for Mobile communication. It is a standard for digital cellular communications, currently used in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.

Host

WLAN

A Wireless Local Area Network links devices via a wireless distribution method (typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually provides a connection through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network.

IEEE 802.11

A set of standards carrying out wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. They are created and maintained by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user.

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

Null modem cable

RS-232 serial cable where the transmit and receive lines are crosslinked. In some cables there are also handshake lines crosslinked. In many situations a straight through serial cable is used, together with a null modem adapter. The adapter contains the necessary crosslinks between the signals.

Pairing

A Bluetooth pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices agree to communicate with each other and establish a connection.

Piconet

A piconet is a Bluetooth PAN that links up to eight devices. Each piconet is controlled by one master device, and up to seven slave devices at any one time. Any device may be a member of more than one piconet, changing its membership as a user moves from one area to another.

RAM

Random Access memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.

RF

Radio Frequency.

RTC

Real Time Clock.

TDMA

Time division multiple access (TDMA) is digital transmission technology that allows a number of users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel without interference by allocating unique time slots to each user within each channel. The TDMA digital transmission scheme multiplexes three signals over a single channel. The current TDMA standard for cellular divides a single

channel into six time slots, with each signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1 gain in capacity over advanced mobile-phone service (AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission.

USB

Universal Serial Bus. Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. A “plug-and-play” interface, it allows a device to be added without an adapter card and without rebooting the computer (the latter is known as hot-plugging). The USB standard, developed by several major computer and telecommunications companies, supports data-transfer speeds up to 12 megabits per second, multiple data streams, and up to 127 peripherals.

WWAN

Stands for "Wide Area Network." It is similar to a Local Area Network (LAN), but it is not limited to a single location and it uses Mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies such as UMTS, GPRS, CDMA2000, GSM, CDPD, Mobitex, HSDPA or 3G to transfer data. WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a WWAN card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from anywhere within the regional boundaries of cellular service.

WPAN

A Wireless Personal Area Network is a personal area network - a network for interconnecting devices centered around an individual person's workspace - in which the connections are wireless. Typically, a wireless personal area network uses some technology that permits communication within about 10 meters - in other words, a very short range.
