1.2 User and Product Safety
• Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
• Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken, never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
• Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.
•
Use only the original approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved AC Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the user.
•
Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or accessories gets damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair, warranty is void. In case the warranty seals are broken, warranty is void too.
• Make regularly back-ups of all important data.
• Under no circumstance will Opticon be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidential damages aring out of the use or inability to use both the hardware and software and/or any data loss, even if Opticon has been informed about the possibility of such damages.

2.5.8 Reading bar codes, 2D CMOS version.
The 2D CMOS version can read both 1D and 2D bar codes. To use the scanning function, complete the following steps:
1. If you have not already done so, remove the protective plastic film before using devices equipped with a 2D CMOS bar code reader.
2. Run the WordPad software program.
3. Press one of the three bar code reader trigger buttons.
4. Aim the scanning beam at the center of bar code. To assists in aiming, there are 4 green aiming light spots. The bar code should be between the outside 2 green spots.
The scanner is in focus in case the center 2 green spots joins into 1 spot.
5. Good scanning position.
The reading range is from 45 to 260mm distance.
4) Decrease the scanning distance to the bar code when scanning small bar codes.
5) Increase the scanning distance from the bar code when scanning large bar codes
6) The bar code should be located within the green light spots
7) The scanning area is visible by a red illumination area.

In the Code Configure tab the bar code symbologies can be enabled or disabled.
It is strongly recommended to select only the required code. Advantages of selecting the required codes are :
• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar codes,
• reduced probability of reading errors which can not be prevented completely, because of the limited security of some bar code types.
Bar code specific options can not be selected in this version of the Bar Code Settings tool.
In case bar code specific options are required, refer to Opticon’s Universal Menu Book, chapter

With this option the reader can decode bar codes that have smaller start and/or end margins than specified for the symbology. Be carefully when using this option. It may increase the possibility of partial reads and ghost reads. Do not use smaller margin checks then necessary. If possible replace the bar code labels by ones that have correct start and end margins.

Trigger repeat
Redundancy
Description
This option makes it more easy to select a single bar code from a sheet filled with barcodes. If the trigger switch is pressed once, the laser beam is on during the configured read time. The laser beam can now be moved to the required bar code. If the trigger switch is pressed again, the bar code is decoded and transmitted.
If the read time timer expires, the laser switches off and the trigger sequence should be repeated. If the read time is set to zero, then if the trigger switch is pressed, the laser is on, but does not accept bar codes. As soon the trigger switch is released, the barcode is decoded and transmitted. Default is disabled.
This is the number of times that a label must be correctly decoded before it is transmitted. Selecting a higher redundancy count makes reading slower, but is reduces the probability of reading errors, especially when labels of poor definition are used.

6.1 Using the Phone Features
Use the PDT to make and receive telephone calls and send and receive SMS (Short Message
Service) messages.
Your mobile phone service provider may provide other useful services such as voice mail.
The phone can also be used to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or work network so you can browse the Web and read e-mail. You can connect to the Internet or work network over
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), or you can use GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) for dial-up access.
6.1.1 SIM Card
A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is required to operate the phone features on your PDT.
The SIM card is a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data.
After the SIM card is activated by your mobile phone service provider, the computer chip will contain information about your phone number, service, registration information, and contacts, as well as memory to store speed dial numbers and text or SMS messages that you receive.
With the exception of emergency calls, the SIM card must be inserted into the SIM slot under the battery on the back of the PDT in order for voice/data calls to work.
To dial an emergency number, from the Phone keypad, tap the emergency number appropriate for your region, and then tap Talk or Send.
Note: See your local telephone directory for emergency numbers used in your area.

6.4.3 Receiving a call
Ringer
The dialer issues a ringing sound to alert you to a caller trying to reach you. The tune played at this time can depend on how the caller is recorded in your Contacts folder. You can in fact specify contacts in your folder (Work, Friends, Family, etc.) and list your callers in one of them.
Refer to the user manual for your digital assistant for further information on this subject.
The application may be configured to play different tunes depending on the category of the caller.
If this is the case, the application searches in the Contacts folder for an entry associated with the number, it then determines its category and, having done so, plays the tune you have configured for it.
Warning!
This will only work if the caller does not withhold his or her number.
Information
If the caller's number has not been withheld and if the caller is listed in Contacts, the dialer will display his or her name. If he or she is not listed, only the number will be displayed. If the caller's number has been withheld, the dialer will then display Number Withheld.
Accepting / Rejecting a call
Click the green button to accept the call and click the red button to reject it.
Receiving SMS messages
SMS messages are downloaded automatically as soon as your communications equipment informs the application that messages have been received. If the message received has high priority, its content is displayed automatically; otherwise you have to operate the Envelope button to read it.
6.4.4 Logs
The application records dates, durations and caller identifiers as the dialer is used, dividing them into three categories: missed calls, received calls and outgoing calls. You can look up details of these lists by pressing the Logs button. This will take you to a tabbed box listing the calls logged by category and, under the Voice counters tab, the various cumulative totals recorded, with a facility for resetting the counters.

What is the 'Short Message Service' (SMS)?
The Short Message Service enables you to send messages in text format (160 characters maximum) over a mobile phone network. This service requires a specific subscription.
Short messages are first sent to the SMS Center, which is part of the mobile phone network, which then forward them to the recipients.
Received messages are stored in the memory. You cannot receive any more new messages once this memory is full. For this reason, ensure you delete them regularly or configure the application so it transfers them to your assistant.
Configuring the service center
1. Starting from the main interface, select Tools >
Settings and click the Network Operator link.
2. Select your country and mobile telephony operator. The number of the default Service
Center is displayed. If it is not the number sent by your network operator, you can change it manually.
