Preparing the Omnii for Operation
2.4.1
The Battery
The Omnii is powered by a Lithium-ion Smart Battery pack, 5000 mAh — Model ST3001.
Important: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in the Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide
(PN 8000191).
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully charged prior
to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking stations. For detailed information,
see “Battery Details” on page 21.
Replacing the Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switching the Omnii
On and Off” on page 15). However, assuming the default power saving parameters
and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum
of 4 minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time
frame.

Note: If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an uncharged
battery and use the device while the battery charges.
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, a battery
can be removed for up to 4 minutes without losing data. After 4 minutes the hand-held may reboot.
Removing the Battery Pack
•
•
If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
Press the two latch buttons at the sides of the compartment simultaneously, and slide the battery out.
Installing the Battery Pack
•
•
•
14
Slide the charged battery with the contoured plastic facing you into the unit with the contacts matching position and the guide tabs moving into the corresponding slots at the base of the compartment.
Firmly click both sides of the battery into place.
If your computer is equipped with a hand strap, re-attach the clip to the slot at the base of the battery.
Switch the unit on (see “Switching the Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Switching the Omnii On and Off
2.5
Switching the Omnii On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Omnii.
Switching the Omnii On
•
Press and hold the [Power] button down for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
Omnii is switched on from the suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in which
you were working prior to turning the computer off.
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion battery may be installed, or the
battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold
and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 100 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below the configured
Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.
Switching the Omnii Off
•
To switch off the Omnii, press the [Power] button. The Omnii will automatically enter the Suspend
state.
Important: Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown; rather, the unit
enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the Omnii is turned on from
suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
2.6
Resetting the Omnii
To perform a variety of Omnii resets, you can use the keyboard shortcuts described below.
2.6.1
Performing a Warm Reset
During a warm reset, running programs are halted. The contents of the file system, Flash Disk, and the registry are preserved. Keep in mind, however, that RAM content is not preserved.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key and the [Power] button simultaneously for a minimum of
four seconds.
Note: For radio specifications, switching from Windows Zero Config to WiFi Config (DeviceScape)
and visa versa requires a warm reset.
2.6.2
Performing a Cold Reset
A cold reset reinitializes all hardware. All RAM including the RAM disk is erased. Non-volatile storage such
as the Flash disk is preserved, as is the file system.
To execute a cold reset:
• Press and hold down the [SYM] key, the [FN] key, and the [Power] button, simultaneously for a
minimum of four seconds.
2.6.3
Performing a Clean Start
A clean start returns the Omnii to factory settings, flushes the registry keys and deletes volatile storage.
Press and hold down the [FN] key, the [Power] button and the [SCAN] key simultaneously for a
minimum of six seconds.
The Omnii displays the Boot to BooSt menu.
•
•
•
On an alpha keyboard, type .clean.
On a numeric keyboard, type .25326.

Using a coin, or other conductive item, connect pins 5 and 6 of the Omnii battery contacts for at least
six seconds.
Pin 6
•
2.7
Pin 5
Replace the battery and power the Omnii on. The computer will boot as if from a cold reset.
Attaching Carrying Accessories
Psion recommends that a carrying accessory — a hand strap — be installed on the Omnii before use. For detailed information, see “Carrying and Protective Accessories” on page 196.
2.8
Calibrating the Touchscreen
The Omnii touchscreen feature is factory-calibrated and ready-to-go; however, over time the touchscreen's
operating parameters may change, and it may need to be recalibrated for correct operation. Refer to “Calibrating the Touchscreen” on page 27 for details.
2.9
Imager and Scanner Options
If your Omnii is equipped with an internal imager or scanner, review the relevant sections: Appendix : “Imagers Applet” and Appendix : “Scanner Settings” for details.
Appendix : “Internal Imager & Scanner Specifications” lists their current model numbers, descriptions, and
specifications.
2.10
Connectivity
For information on connecting the Omnii to a PC, refer to “Data Transfer Between Omnii and a PC” on
page 49.
The Omnii contains an integrated 802.11a/b/g/n radio module. The Wi-Fi Config application is used to configure the radio for one or more wireless network profiles. To configure the radio, follow the steps outlined
under the heading “Wi-Fi Config - Setting Up the 802.11a/b/g/n Radio” on page 121.
The Omnii is also available with one of the following Wireless WAN radio options: the Cinterion MC75i EDGE

Battery Safety
Important: Before attempting to install, use, or charge the battery pack, it is critical that you
review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference guide
entitled Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000191.
3.2.2
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery
swap time is a minimum of 4 minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this
time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally on a USB memory
stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Flash Disk” partition of the file system.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 100 for details about reserving
battery power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the Omnii will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will
run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you
choose Maximum Backup Time, the Omnii shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be
backed up for a longer period of time.
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion battery may be installed, or
the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 100 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below the
configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.
3.2.3
Charging the Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. Lithium-ion battery
packs must be fully charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and
docking stations. For detailed information about these accessories, please see Chapter 6: “Accessories”.

The Keyboard
The Omnii can be ordered with a wide variety of Alpha and Numeric keyboard layouts. See
http://www.psion.com/us/products/handheld.htm
for a list of available configurations. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, those differences are described
in the following sections.
Depending on the type of keyboard on your Omnii, the keyboard is equipped with a dedicated [Power]
button or an [ENTER/Power] combination key both of which allow you to switch the unit on.
The [BLUE/FN] modifier key provides access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are
colour coded in blue print above the keyboard keys.
Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.

The Power Button (55-Key and 66-Key Keyboards only)
The [Power] button in the upper right corner of the keyboard switches the unit on and off.
3.3.2
Standard Keys
The [ENTER/Power] Key
The [ENTER/Power] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions as well as to power the unit
on and off for keyboards not equipped with a dedicated [Power] button (for details, refer to “Switching the
Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
Note: 55-key and 66-key keyboards are equipped with a [Power] button. For these keyboards, the
[ENTER] key does not switch on the unit.
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and to provide access to other symbols and
functions on the numeric keyboards. Press the [SHIFT] key to turn the shift state 'on' (it will be represented
in the shift-state indicator in the navigation bar at the top of the screen), then press another key to access
the shifted function of that key.
Press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock the shift state on (the shift-state will be outlined in a black frame to indicate it is locked ‘on’). Press [SHIFT] again to turn the shift state off.
To access CAPS LOCK mode, press [FN] + [SHIFT]. In this state, if you press a numeric key, the number is
displayed rather than the normal shifted function of that key. Press [FN] + [SHIFT] again to turn the CAPS
LOCK mode off.
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys are located near the top of the keyboard, and are represented on the keyboard as triangles pointing in different directions. The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of
the arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key
which is depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where
the next character you type will appear.
The [BACKSPACE/DEL] Key
The [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
The [CTRL] and [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent.
Pressing either key twice locks it 'on'. Pressing the key once again unlocks it.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box, or activity.
The [SPACE] Key
The [SPACE] key is represented on the keyboard by a long, horizontal line bracketed by a small vertical line
on each side. Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing
the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [SCAN] Key
The Omnii is equipped with a single [SCAN] key on the keyboard and an extra [SCAN] button located on the
left side of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not have internal scanners,
these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.

Modifier Keys
3.3.3
Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN] and [SYM] keys are modifier keys that change the function of the next
key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded
(two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose
function you want modified.
[SHIFT] and [FN]
The [SHIFT] and [FN] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. The functions
related to these modifier keys are colour-coded in white and blue print respectively above the keyboard
keys, dependant on your keyboard format.
[SYM]
Note: When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (PN 8100016), note that the [SYM]
key is interchangeable with the [ORANGE] key.
The Symbol [SYM] modifier key provides access to commonly used symbolic characters. Pressing the [SYM]
key brings up the Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen keyboard, with symbols mapped to each key.
Note: Modifier keys are remapped using the Scancode Remapping applet. The Symbol SIP will
automatically display and use the new mappings after the next reboot.
The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your Omnii — either numeric or alphanumeric. The sample below reflects an alphanumeric keyboard layout.

3.7.3
Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear
until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the barcode.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the barcode. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.
Scan the entire barcode. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam
crosses every bar and space on the barcode, including the margins on either end of the symbol.
If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark is centered
within the barcode you want to scan.
When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the barcode. Movement blurs
the image.
Hold the scanner farther away for larger barcodes.
Hold the scanner closer for barcodes with bars that are close together.
Scanner Status LED, Sounds, and Vibrations
The scanner LED (the far right LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves
as follows:
•
Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.
•
Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.
•
Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.
A barcode icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen
message states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable the “Scan Indicator”.
(Refer to “Scan Indicator” on page 176
When the scan is successful, the barcode data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if the “Scan Result” parameter is turned on. Refer to “Scan Result” on page 176.
You can also enable sounds and vibrations to indicate good and bad scans by enabling “Good Scan Beep
and Bad Scan Beep” and “Good and Bad Scan Vibrates”. Refer to “Good Scan Beep and Bad Scan Beep” on
page 176 for details.
3.7.4
Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Is the unit on?
Check that the barcode symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are using. Check
any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the barcode.
Check the barcode to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different barcode to verify that the
problem is not with the barcode.
Check that the barcode is within the proper range.
Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in
the hand-held.
Is the laser beam scanning across the barcode?
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.

Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled for a
configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning begins. Refer
to “Dot Time (msec)” on page C-4 in Appendix C: “Scanner Settings” for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and high visibility
internal scanners.
•
3.7.6
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear
until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers
An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single barcode or multiple barcodes (at one time). It can find a
barcode regardless of its orientation — that is, even a barcode printed at a 45 degree angle to the hand-held
will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple barcodes, ensure that all of the desired barcodes are within the
field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all barcodes are within the field of
view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded barcodes are passed to the
application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan
the missing barcodes.
When scanning a single barcode, ensure that only the desired barcode is within the field of
view of the scanner.
Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be
required to find the optimal distance from the types of barcodes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the barcodes, especially if the barcode
is far from the hand-held.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a
flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated barcodes,
just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface,
either shift the barcode to the side or top, or angle the barcode so that the glare
reflects away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the barcode in order to decode it. It is
normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady between
flashes to improve decode performance.
•
•
Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed
scan result is obtained.
•
When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed.
Centre the framing marker in the field — either in the centre of the barcode you want to scan or in the
centre of the area in which multiple barcodes are to be scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the barcode is taken.

Navigating in Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5 and Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5 for portable devices or desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On the Omnii, this is accomplished using a touchscreen
and stylus rather than a mouse.
3.8.1
Navigating Using a Touchscreen
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need recalibration.
Refer to “Calibrating the Touchscreen”.
A touchscreen is a standard feature on all Omnii hand-held computers. Each is shipped with a stylus – a
pointing tool.
•
•
•
3.8.2
Use the stylus to tap on the appropriate icon to open files and folders, launch applications and programs, make selections, and so on. You can also use your finger rather than the stylus.
Tap and flick the stylus or your finger on the screen to scroll through the options on a screen.
Tap on the navigation bar to display additional icons.
Navigating Using the Keyboard
If you prefer to use the keyboard to move the cursor around the screens on your Omnii, refer to Table 3.6
for a description of the navigation keys.

Uploading Data in a Docking Station
The Desktop Docking Stations allow your hand-held to upload transaction data to a server computer when
a radio link is not available. When Omnii is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in
the navigation bar at the top of the screen.
3.17.2
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Note: If you use a serial port to connect devices like Omnii to your desktop computer, the connection may not succeed because ActiveSync has trouble connecting at non-default baud rates.
To work around this problem, set the ActiveSync baud rate on the desktop to use the same
baud rate as the device. You can set the baud rate by editing the registry on the desktop host
computer, as detailed in the steps outlined at the following website:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324466
To install ActiveSync, follow the step-by-step instructions provided with the program’s setup wizard. For details, go to the following website and type ActiveSync into the search box:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
3.17.3
Using Windows Mobile Device Center
If you are running Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later, your data transfers do not require ActiveSync.
Instead, you will need to download Windows Mobile Device Center. For instructions, go to the following
website and type the name into the search box:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

General Maintenance
3.18.1
Caring for the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the
inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and
scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
•
mustard, ketchup
•
sodium hydroxide
•
concentrated caustic solutions
•
benzyl alcohol
•
concentrated acids
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector
(RV6105). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life
of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Do not to expose the touchscreen to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. If this is unavoidable, use
a UV screen protector to extend the life of the screen.

Cleaning the Omnii
3.18.2
Cleaning the Omnii
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe
the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only your finger or the stylus (pen)
supplied with your Omnii.
•
•
•
•
51
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The Omnii has a plastic case that is
susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits, aircraft de-icing
fluid, and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
Exposure to aircraft de-icing fluids can degrade the plastics on the Omnii. If the Omnii is used near aircraft de-icing environments, regular rinsing with water is recommended.
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Text Messages
Tapping on the Text option in the Today screen displays this screen.
This option allows you to compose, send and receive text messages using your Omnii.

E-mail
Note: If your e-mail is already synchronized, go to “Sending an E-mail” on page 63.
The E-mail program is used to send and receive e-mail on your Omnii. It also provides access to
text messages.
To send and receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3
(POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception – Outlook e-mail accounts are set up by default.

Folders
4.5.1
Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your Omnii. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize additional folders. The folders
and messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between the messages on
the Omnii and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will recognize that the messages are missing from the Omnii Inbox folder and delete them from the server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to messages that
you moved to folders from anywhere except with the Omnii.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the server, making
messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from your Omnii or your PC.
4.5.2
Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows XP OS)
Important: For PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the guidelines under “Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7)” on page 63.
By synchronizing the Omnii E-mail program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is available on both the
Omnii and on your PC.
Note: Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the Omnii have an independent connection to the
Internet.
•
In ActiveSync on your PC, tap on Tools>Options in the tool bar at the top of the screen.
•
Make certain that a check mark is displayed in the checkbox next to E-mail. Tap on OK.
Once you check E-mail for synchronization, Outlook e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the
general synchronization process. The next time you synchronize with ActiveSync, the e-mail in Outlook on
your PC will be transferred to the Messaging program on your Omnii.

Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup
5.6.4
Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that has been reserved or set aside to
protect data until a fully charged battery can be installed in the Omnii. When the battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup Time reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab, the Omnii
shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the Omnii. Once the unit
shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking
station or cradle.
Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity reserved for backup
purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 100 hours.
•
Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for backup purposes;
this increases the Omnii operating time – the amount of time the Omnii will operate before shutting
down – but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes to a minimum of 24 hours.
Internal super-capacitors will protect the data stored in the Omnii while the depleted battery is swapped for
a fully charged one.

Note: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitor will preserve the data stored on the Omnii for
approximately 4 minutes. It is critical that you install a charged battery before this time elapses.

Servers Tab
When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to the Omnii, the remote device is considered the ‘Bluetooth master’ and the hand-held, the ‘Bluetooth slave’. In order for the remote device to
connect to the Omnii, the Omnii must offer a service in the form of a server. The Servers tab allows these
services to be enabled and configured. There are three server services available: Serial, Scanner and
OBEX OPP (Object Exchange-Object Push Profile).
Serial server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the drop-down menu.
Keep in mind that when a port is chosen, an application must be open (connected) to the chosen port for a
remote device to be able to connect.
Scanner server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service (SCS). This is
used for Bluetooth barcode scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens the server port and handles
the scanner input.

authentication options.
Note: Each Auth. Mode has a unique Configure Profile screen attached to it with fields appropriate
to the authorization mode you’ve chosen.
Open Authentication
Open authentication does not provide security. When this option is chosen, Omnii will connect to wireless
networks which do not use authentication or encryption.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If you choose this
option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication – Open or Shared, the WEP security key length – 64
bit or 128 bit and the key type – ASCII or Hex. WEP Key fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or

13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active
WEP key on the access point.
802.1X, WPA & WPA2 Enterprise, CCKM-WPA & CCKM-WPA2
These authentication modes use 802.1X with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is selected, Omnii uses WEP
encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the others, you may choose TKIP, AES or
TKIP+AES encryption.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either WPA Personal PSK or WPA2 Personal PSK — a shared key must be configured
on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the following can be chosen from the Encryption drop-down menu: TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES.
5.8.9.2.3 Encryption
The Encryption menu allows you to choose the type of encryption that will be used to protect transmitted
data. Choose an Encryption method valid for your network from the drop-down menu. Only the Encryption
options that are compatible with the type of Auth. Mode you’ve chosen will be listed. In fact, in some cases,
this menu will not be available at all.

This menu allows you to choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for 802.1x authentication to an access point.
The following EAP types are supported by Wi-Fi Config:
•
124
FAST-MSCHAPv2: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect against
off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of server or client certificates
and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.

LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP does not require the
use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active Directory and domains but requires
the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to off-line dictionary attacks.
PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traffic. MSCHAPv2 is used as the inner authentication method. This is appropriate for use against Windows
Active Directory and domains.
PEAPv1-GTC: PEAP authentication using GTC as the inner method which utilizes one time passwords
(OTPs) for authentication against OTP databases such as SecureID.
TLS: Provides strong security via the use of client certificates for user authentication.
5.8.9.2.5 Verify Server Certificate
When the Verify Server Certificate box is checked, the Omnii will verify the certificate provided by the authentication server during the authentication process. This requires that an appropriate certificate be manually installed on Omnii for the verification.
5.8.9.2.6 Enable OPMK
When used with compatible wireless infrastructure, Opportunistic Key Caching (OPMK) reduces the number
of full authentications required when roaming. This option is only visible when WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) authentication mode is chosen.

This option allows you to select the full set or a sub-set of the IEEE 802.11 wireless network protocols. You
can choose from the following:
•
•
•
b only: forces the radio to operate in the 2.4GHz band only. The hand-held will only associate with an
Access Point (AP) that supports the DSSS data rates 1, 2, 5.5 & 11 Mbps. This mode has the lowest data
rate but yields the longest range.
b/g only: forces the radio to operate in the 2.4 GHz band only. The Omnii will only associate with an AP
that supports the DSSS data rates 1, 2, 5.5 & 11 Mbps and OFDM data rates: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
54Mbps. This mode offers the same range as b only mode but with higher data rate of 54 Mbps when
possible
a only: forces the radio to operate in the 5 GHz band only. The hand-held will only associate with an AP
that supports the OFDM data rates: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps.
5.8.9.4.3 11n Mode
This radio supports MIMO data rates in both 2.4 GHz and 5 G band (although it only supports single stream
operation (SISO)). This increases the maximum data rate to 65 Mbps.
•
Enabled: If this option is enabled, it is activated for the band or bands that were selected in Network
type. For example, if Network Type = b only, 11n is only switched on for the 2.4GHz band.
5.8.9.4.4 11n – Block Ack
When 11n – Block Ack is enabled, the Omnii will not send an ACK for every packet received, but it will
send an ACK after a block of data is received. The duration of time before sending an ACK is negotiated
with the AP.
5.8.9.4.5 Power Save Mode
If Power Save Mode is enabled, the radio remains on continuously. The disadvantage to enabling this
option is increased power consumption. The advantage to enabling this option is instant response to
TCP/IP traffic.

frequently used key sequences. For example, a macro key can be programmed to output a standard signature, such as “Sincerely yours,[ENTER]Bob” with a single keypress.
For all keyboard types, you can program up to 15 macro keys. Some Omnii keyboards have macros keys
([M1], [M2] and so on) that are physically present on the keyboard. When you record a macro sequence and
assign it to one of these predetermined macro keys, pressing that key (e.g., [M1]) executes the macro and
sends the programmed key sequence to the hand-held as if it were entered from the keyboard.
If your keyboard does not have dedicated macro keys, or if you wish to use macro keys beyond the ones
that are already present on the keyboard, you need to use Scancode Remapping to remap keyboard keys to
act as macro keys (see “Scancode Remapping” on page 136). For example, if you record a key sequence to
Macro 7, you could then use Scancode Remapping to remap the [z] key so that pressing it executes Macro 7
rather than the letter [z].

Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function, or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the
functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents
the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on,
change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the FN table and the SYM table.
The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the FN table defines key presses that occur when the
[FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the SYM table defines key presses that occur when the [SYM] modifier is on. The
default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using Scancode
Remapping.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is
remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the column labelled V-Key. In the column labelled
Function, virtual keys that are ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ are displayed.
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the
third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2).

A public key is transmitted as part of a certificate. The certificates listed in the Certificates tabs ensure that
the submitted public key is, in fact, the public key that belongs to the submitter. The hand-held checks that
the certificate has been digitally signed by a certification authority that the hand-held explicitly trusts.
Your Omnii has certificates already preinstalled in the unit. Personal certificates establish your identity, intermediate certificates, as the name suggests, identify intermediate certification authorities and root certificates establish the identity of the servers with which you can connect.

Profiles
Tapping on the GPS Profile Selection drop-down menu allows you to choose an appropriate profile: Default,
Automotive or Pedestrian.
•
•
•
Default profile is a good general profile suitable for most uses.
Automotive profile is designed for in-vehicle use, providing quick location updates as the vehicle
moves. When the GPS module is set to this profile and the vehicle enters an area such as a tunnel
where satellite coverage is interrupted, it will attempt to predict the vehicle position.
Pedestrian profile is designed for those using the GPS module while walking. It takes into account the
slower pace of the pedestrian when mapping the location of the user. When the GPS module is set to
this profile and the operator moves into an area where satellite coverage is interrupted, the GPS
module will not attempt to predict the operator’s movement.
AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) Tab
To determine your location, a GPS module receives data from three or more GPS satellites in fixed orbit
around the Earth. The GPS module triangulates your location based on the time it takes for signals to get to
and from the satellites. This works well in fairly clear areas – outdoors, for example. However, if you’re attempting to triangulate your location in city centres where signals bounce off tall concrete buildings or
from within a building, the GPS module will have greater difficulty calculating a fix.
AGPS reduces Time To First Fix (TTFF) and increases the likelihood of finding and keeping a fix in poor coverage areas such as indoor sites. AGPS downloads satellite ephemeris (orbital) data to the Omnii periodically through Wi-Fi or WWAN. The downloaded data is used by the GPS module to speed the process of
getting a fix.

The Use custom settings option is generally used to configure devices that will have access only to an intranet rather than the Internet and should only be altered with the assistance of qualified Psion personnel.
They will be able to help you configure your Psion device(s) and web server to retrieve the ephemeris data.

5.11.13.1
Tap on Start>Settings>System>Manage Triggers icon.
Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application,
the module(s) – sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)” – of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When
the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings — for example [F1] cannot be
mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice — even if the trigger type is different.
A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key data or
perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger
source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications.
Double-Click
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Press Type”.
Show All Modules
By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or applications that

Trigger Key
This drop-down list allows you to specify the source of the trigger events, such as the Grip Trigger, Left
Scan, etc., for the trigger module selected.
Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers) – for example, to
both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer).
Add Key
Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap
on the Add Key button. A dialog box pops up, allowing you to select the keyboard key to use as a
trigger source.
Trigger Press Type
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger
(keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to the “owner” – that is, the application receiving the trigger press information – followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this
menu, when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will occur. If a
mapping with the Up/down type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first
set of trigger events.

Click Time (msec)
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the time between the
first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this feature.
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click
Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger
overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value
is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click Data”
value rather than initiating a scan.
Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your Omnii following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key
you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner button
is pressed. When the button is released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner
is activated.
Scan Result Time (msec)
The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a
successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables
the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner
away from the barcode and press the trigger.
Good Scan Beep and Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the Omnii emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed, the number of vibrates, the duration of the vibrate,
and so on. Set these parameters to tailor the behaviour of this parameter.
Multiple Beep Tones
This parameter determines whether or not multiple beeps will be allowed.
Good and Bad Scan Vibrates
These parameters determine whether or not the Omnii will vibrate (rather than beep) when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the
beeper or off to disable it. You can further refine how you want the vibrations to behave, specifying the following: Number of Vibrates, Duration of Vibrate (in milliseconds), and Pause between Vibrates (in milliseconds).
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function,
instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan
timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.).
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output barcode are logged in
the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the “Scan Log File” is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.
5.11.22.2.3Data Handling
This option allows you to choose the code page your Omnii will use to display data – Default Local ASCII or
ISO-8859-1 Latin 1.
Codepage:
Tapping on this option displays a window in which you can define the code page your Omnii will use.

Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 5: Settings
Scanner Settings
If you choose Default Local ASCII, the code page of the local OS is used. For example, if the local OS uses
double-byte Chinese characters, choosing this option will filter data through the local ASCII of that OS and
display it accurately, in this example, using double-byte characters.
If you choose ISO-8859-1 Latin 1, data will be displayed according to the character mapping of this Latin 1
code page, ignoring the local OS code page.
5.11.22.3 Translations Tab
The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential
order. Only one case will be applied to a barcode and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the
case are successful – if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails.
•
In the Translations tab, double-tap on a Case # to create rules.

The case rules are defined as follows:
•
•
•
•
178
No rule – ignored.
Match at index – matches the match string at a specified index.
Match and replace at index – matches the match string at a specified index and replaces/changes it.
Replace at index – replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.

•
•
Add barcode prefix/suffix – adds a global prefix or suffix.
Verify barcode size – verifies the barcode size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creating subsequent rules.
Search and replace – replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.)
Important: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account
when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the barcode size is important, it should
be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.
The information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see “Scan Log File”)
when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing.
5.11.22.4 Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6)
Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6) are standard RS-232 DE-9 DTE ports on the Omnii port
replicator module, available on some snap modules and cradle types.
Enabled
This parameter must be set to on in order for Omnii to recognize the device connected to the Port Replicator 9-pin (COM5).
Power (COM6 only)
Pin 9 on Omnii COM6 is reserved for 5V power out and is defaulted to OFF. This parameter must be set to
on to enable power to a Snap Module or Vehicle cradle.
Baud
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a pop-up window in which you can choose an appropriate rate of
data transfer.

Port Baud Rates
Data Bits
This parameter determines the number of data bits included in each asynchronous data byte. Most devices
use 8-bit data bytes. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window in which you can choose
either 7 or 8 data bits.
Parity
This parameter determines the type of parity checking used on the data going through the port replicator
port. Double-tapping on this option displays a pop-up window in which you can choose the appropriate
parity.

Stop Bits
This parameter specifies the number of stop bits — 1, 1.5 or 2 — used for asynchronous communication.
Trigger On Sequence and Trigger Off Sequence
If a SICK scanner connected to an Omnii port requires a serial stream of data bytes to trigger the scanner
on and another to trigger the scanner off, the Trigger On Sequence and Trigger Off Sequence parameters
allow you to define these serial streams.
Double-tapping on Trigger On Sequence or Trigger Off Sequence displays a screen with a hex array of 10 elements.
These parameters work in conjunction with Manage Triggers sending on and off data streams to the trigger
module you assigned. For example, suppose you launch Manage Triggers and choose Decoded Scanner as
the ‘module to trigger’. Next, you assign a ‘trigger key’ — for this example, . (period). To define the serial
stream of data bytes to control the on and off function of the ‘trigger key’, enter a hex value in the Trigger
On Sequence and the Trigger Off Sequence fields. When you press the trigger key, the Trigger On Sequence
is sent and when you release the trigger key, the Trigger Off Sequence is sent, turning the trigger key on
and off.

Total Recall
Total Recall is a Psion utility developed to maintain applications and settings during a cold boot, as well as
clone settings to other devices. This utility creates a restore point of a device at a known state. This can be
used as a backup of the device (the administrator can clean the terminal and restore the profile at any
time), or a clone (the administrator can store different configurations for different uses to clone to other
hand-held computers).
Note: Total Recall works differently (e.g. restore on cold boot or on clean boot) on different OS
platforms and versions (e.g. Windows CE 5.0, 6.0, Windows Mobile, Windows Embedded
Hand-held). For detailed information and other updates on Total Recall information, please
go to the Ingenuity Working website at:

In the start up screen, you can choose from four options: Create Backup, Create Clone, Manage Profile, and
Delete Profile.
5.11.27.1
Creating a Backup
•
Tap on the Create Backup button to begin the process.
This dialog box displays the Profile Name and the storage destination for the profile file.
•
•
In the Profile Name field, type a name for a profile.
If you want to choose another location for your backup file (optional), tap on the [...] button to the
right of the Profile Location field and choose one of a number of folders.
Important: Any profile not stored in persistent memory (Flash Disk, external USB drive) will
be erased during a clean boot; therefore, you should store profiles on a persistent
drive.
When performing an autorestore, the program only searches for the profile located
in the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your profile anywhere else it will
not be restored. Only one profile can reside in that folder.
- Tap on Start. A backup of the current settings will be created and saved to the specified location.
The unit will then reboot.
To view profiles and choose restore options, refer to “Managing Profiles” on page 186.
5.11.27.2 Creating a Clone
Cloning allows you to copy settings or configurations from one computer to another. There are two types of
clones to choose from: a Full Clone and a Settings Only Clone.
A Full Clone contains all files, most of the registry, and the settings files.
Important: The target device for a Full Clone MUST have the same model type and OS build as
the source, otherwise problems can occur. For example, if the target device has a
newer build of the OS, the new build may have a different set of registry keys that
may conflict with the source.
A Settings Only Clone can be copied to a wider array of devices, but it should not be used as an autorestore
profile.
•
•
Tap on the Create Clone button to begin the process. Your Omnii model type and OS will be identified
in the cloning statement to ensure that you target devices of the same type.
Give the clone profile a name and location.

•
Next, tap on the option button you want to use:
Restore Now – restores the profile immediately. If you are restoring a profile that is a backup or Full
Clone, the computer will clean reset first; if the profile is a Settings Only Clone, it will not.
Set for AutoRestore – creates a profile that is automatically restored following a cold reset or a clean
start. The profile is stored in the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder.
Important: After setting an autorestore profile, that profile will overwrite any other profile
already placed in the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder.
In an autorestore, Total Recall only restores the profile located in the \Flash
Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your profile anywhere else it will not
be restored.

Clone to USB – writes a clone of the profile to the USB drive. After you tap on the button, a message
will come up either confirming that the USB drive is ready for deployment, or that it is not available.
When you are ready to install the profile on another unit, turn on the next computer to be cloned and
insert the USB key. The profile will be automatically installed to the computer’s \Flash Disk\TotalRecall
folder. There is a short delay in deployment so that you can cancel the process if needed.

Important Charger Safety Instructions
Important: Before charging a battery with a desktop docking station, it is critical that you
review the safety guidelines in the Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191) and the Omnii Hand-Held Accessories Regulatory &
Warranty Guide (PN 8000205).
6.4.2
Charging the Battery
Omnii Hand-Held Computer operates with lithium-ion battery pack Model ST3001. Preparing the unit for operation requires that the battery pack be charged and installed in the hand-held.
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. Lithium-ion battery
packs must be fully charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and
docking stations. Currently the following are available:
•
The Snap Module is a mobile adaptor for Omnii. Three models are available — see “Snap Modules” on
page 198.
•
The AC Wall Adaptor operates as an AC power source and also charges the battery installed in the unit
— see “AC Wall Adaptor - Models ST1050 and ST1050-AR” on page 200.
•
The Vehicle Power Outlet Adaptor powers Omnii and recharges the battery using power drawn from
your vehicle’s automotive power outlet — see “Vehicle Power Outlet Adaptor - Model ST3113” on
page 200.
•
The Desktop Docking Stations operate as both chargers and docking stations. Operating as a charger,
both the battery installed in Omnii and a spare battery can be charged. Priority is given to charging the
hand-held's battery. See “Desktop Docking Stations - Models ST4002 and ST4003” on page 202.
Normally it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The Omnii intelligent charging system protects the
battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the desktop docking station.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to
harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications, and drivers required to use and monitor the desktop docking station as a dock
(as opposed to a charger) are installed on Omnii — no applications are present on the docking station itself.
6.5.5.1
Docking station does not seem to power on.
•
•
6.5.5.2
When first connected to the DC power supply, the charger LED should flash a sequence of red, yellow,
and green.
If not, the charger is defective and requires service.
Omnii charge indicator LED stays off.
When Omnii is docked into a powered desktop docking station and the Omnii charge indicator LED stays off,
there could be a problem with the hand-held or with the docking station. Use a hand-held with a properly
functioning charge indicator to isolate the problem.
Note: The desktop docking station charge LED only shows the status of the spare battery.
6.5.5.3
Omnii charge indicator LED is red.
If the Omnii charge indicator is red when the hand-held is docked:
•
•
•
6.5.5.4
Spare battery LED is red with a battery installed.
•
•
•
6.5.5.5
Remove Omnii and disconnect the adaptor DC power cable.
Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.
If the Omnii indicator still shows a fault, the hand-held requires service.
Try inserting a battery that is known to be working with another charger.
If the charge slot LED continues to show red with the known working battery, the charger is defective
and requires service.
Your Psion battery and desktop docking station are carefully designed for safety and capacity performance. If the battery or charger are not Psion approved products, or the safety mechanism is faulty, the
spare charge slot LED or the Omnii LED will display red.
Spare battery LED does not turn on when a battery is installed.
•
•
•
•

•
6.6.5.5
Powered Adaptor LED Stays Off
•
•
6.7
Remove the computers and disconnect the adaptor DC power cable.
Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.
If the Omnii indicator still shows a fault, Omnii requires service.
Check the AC cable. Replace with the same type if the cable is suspect.
If the adaptor LED stays OFF, the adaptor is defective and requires service.
Vehicle Cradles - Models ST1000 and ST1002
Important: The vehicle cradles are shipped with their own quick start guide — Omnii Vehicle
Cradles Quick Start Guide (PN 8000221). It is critical that it be reviewed for additional information and updates.
The Omnii vehicle cradles are highly ruggedized, single station docks. Although they provide quick insertion
and removal, the cradles hold Omnii securely even when operated in high vibration environments (such as
vehicles not equipped with suspensions).
The Omnii vehicle cradle is available in two models:
•
•
Model ST1000 - Unpowered cradle.
Model ST1002 - Powered cradle with communications port. A DE9M serial port (powered) and two USB
Host interfaces.

Psion also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held vehicle cradles, and the Omnii vehicle
cradles are compatible with all of them.
6.7.1
Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Warning:
Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator
safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle may
result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion
strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the
vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure that you read the ST1002 Vehicle Cradle Installation Instructions document (PN 1020305), enclosed with the ST1002, for important safety information
on connecting fuses.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially
for devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact
Psion for assistance. Note also that for better protection, the equipment should
be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator
access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing
screws.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use brackets with the MT3324 (short arm) or
MT3325 (standard arm) kit. The ST1002 requires either the MT3326 or MT3327 bracket; the ST1000 requires the MT3328 bracket.
Important: It is strongly recommended that all fork lift mounting solutions use clamp bases rather
than plate bases that require penetrating through the vehicle for installation.
210
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Figure 6.17 Clamp and Rail Bases (Torque to 26 in-lbs)
Important: Plate bases are not recommended for forklift mounting solutions. If a plate rather than a
clamp base is used, you will need to penetrate into the structure of the vehicle, a process
requiring additional hardware. The following plate bases are available:
• VESA Plate – MT3501
• Circular Plate – MT3502

To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle.
Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Refer to
the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location
(Omnii Vehicle Cradles Quick Start Guide PN 8000221).
6.7.2
Insertion and Removal of Omnii
If your Omnii is equipped with a cover, or the ST6025 double loop hand strap, these accessories need to be
removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove other handstraps or pistol
grips from the unit.
•
•
Slide Omnii into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good
idea to pull up on Omnii to be certain that it is secure.
To remove Omnii, press the release button on the front of the cradle until it releases.

Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle
6.7.3
Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold Omnii firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least
100,000 insertion and removal cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock Omnii securely in the
cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion. Partial disassembly is required.
6.7.4
ST1002 Powered Cradle Installation
The ST1002 cradle is designed to allow Omnii to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in
Omnii is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources over the range 11.5V
to 30V. Voltages above that require the use of the preregulator (Model No. PS1350).
Warnings:
•
Applying a voltage greater than that specified, or reversing polarity, may result in
permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.
•
Operating an Omnii XT15f Arctic unit in operating temperatures from -30°C to
+50°C, requires the use of the power preregulator Model No. PS1370.
The ST1002 Vehicle Cradle has a 44-pin connector that allows connection with either the CA3001 Vehicle
Cradle Power and Communications Cable (DE9M serial port, 2 USB Host interfaces, and power cable) or the
power-only CA3000 Vehicle Cradle Power Cable. For connector pinouts and a cable connections diagram,
see “Cable Connectors for Vehicle Cradle Model ST1002” on page A-5.

For a diagram of a power with communications setup, see “Connecting ST1002 to vehicle power and communications in a typical setup” on page 215.
The Omnii charging LED (see “Battery Charge Status LED” on page 30) indicates that external power is
available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.
6.7.4.1
Wiring Guidelines
Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from
areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Chapter 6: Accessories
ST1002 Powered Cradle Installation
•
6.7.4.2
Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere
with the operation of the vehicle.
Installation in High Voltage Vehicles
Warning:
Voltages exceeding 30VDC are considered hazardous. Installation of powered
cradles in vehicles that operate above 30VDC require special consideration, as
listed below.
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle
power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water
or other liquids. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death. Avoiding this hazard can be accomplished in the following way.
•
•
Use the PS1350 pre-regulator or, for freezer applications (-30°C), the PS1370 pre-regulator.
Ensure the power connector is wrapped securely with a waterproof electrical tape and installed in a
dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in
a sealed housing).
•
Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material (see Section 6.7.4.3: “Extreme Wet
Environments” for additional details).
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.
6.7.4.3
Extreme Wet Environments
For extreme wet environments, or environments where it is difficult to restrict vehicle operator access to
the power connector, Psion offers a waterproof heat shrink kit (PN 1030022). The kit contains 3 pieces of
waterproof, high shrink ratio heat shrink tubing which can be used to encapsulate the entire connector assembly. If using this kit, please ensure that you order sufficient material to cover installation and service, remembering that heat shrink is one-time use, and must be replaced if it is removed from the connector for
any reason.
6.7.4.4
Wiring Vehicle Power and Communications to the Cradle
An optional 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985-301 with motion detect or 13985-302) is
available for your powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 4A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 4A (less if the accessory supply is
greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
Installation of the 19440-XXX fuse assembly using a 4A 250V fuse installed is mandatory, except when
using a CA3002 vehicle power cable. The 13985-XXX cables are not used with the CA3002. The 4A fuse is
already included in the CA3002 vehicle connector assembly.
Note: When connecting PN 13985-301 (Screen Blanking version), ensure that the screen blanking
wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires (red/black leads) are reliably secured away from
each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. A minimum 2.8mm
distance, or 0.4mm distance through insulation, is required for the separation.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply — this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the
power cradle after the key switch — that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the
cradle before the switch.
Keep in mind that Omnii will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has
sufficient charge. If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440-300) must be
added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 4A
fast blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly (PN 9016622).

Appendix B: Imagers Applet
Required Applets
The Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete and activate imager settings. The principle uses of the
applet are to decode barcodes and to capture images. A Demonstration Application is provided to demonstrate how the imager works. Refer to “Imager and Camera Demo” on page 81 for details.
B.1
Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers applet must be present in the Settings>System tab along
with the Imagers applet.
B.2
Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Imagers applet:
•
•
Use a predefined preset.
Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used whenever possible. Each
predefined preset contains a coherent group of settings that are known to work
together in the intended environment. In almost all situations, at least one of the
predefined presets results in a satisfactory outcome.
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific purpose such as barcode decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can be created for
a specific user application, such as: include only specified barcodes, read only a specified number of barcodes or for reading unusual media.
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
•
Imaging for photo capture.
•
Imaging for barcode decoding.
•
Symbology selection.
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected active preset.
B.2.1
Predefined Presets
Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The predefined presets
allow you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to understand and set numerous variables. In almost all cases these predefined presets are sufficient.
B.2.2
Barcode Predefined Presets
These presets encompass the majority of the most popular barcodes and their subtypes. The barcode decoding symbology predefined presets define which barcodes can be decoded. The barcode decoding
camera predefined presets determine how the barcode images are captured
B.2.2.1
Barcode Decoding Symbology Predefined Presets
The following presets select groups of similar barcodes for decoding.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.
Factory Default
This preset enables the decoding of frequently used barcodes.
My Default
The barcodes in this preset can be enabled, disabled and so on.
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
B-3
Appendix B: Imagers Applet
Barcode Decoding Camera Predefined Presets
All
This preset enables the decoding of all barcodes that the imager can decode. For a list of these symbologies
see “Imager Barcode Symbologies” on page B-18 and “Color Camera Barcode Symbologies” on page B-19.
Linear
This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D symbologies that the imager can decode. For a list of these
symbologies see “Imager Barcode Symbologies” on page B-18 and “Color Camera Barcode Symbologies”
on page B-19
Linear and PDF417
This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D and PDF symbologies that the imager can decode. For a list of
these symbologies see “Imager Barcode Symbologies” on page B-18 and “Color Camera Barcode Symbologies” on page B-19
Matrix
This preset enables the decoding of all 2D symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager Barcode
Symbologies” on page B-18 and “Color Camera Barcode Symbologies” on page B-19 for a list of
these symbologies.
Postal
This preset enables the decoding of all the postal symbologies that the imager can decode. See “Imager
Barcode Symbologies” on page B-18 and “Color Camera Barcode Symbologies” on page B-19 for a list of
these symbologies.
B.2.3
Barcode Decoding Camera Predefined Presets
The following presets enable successful barcode image capture in almost all conditions.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux).
Low light
This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights are kept low, or
inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the gain.
Low power
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the Omnii.
Glossy surface
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to read barcodes
that are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope.
B.2.4
Image Capture Predefined Presets
The following presets enable successful image capture in almost all conditions.
Note: It is recommended that the default preset be used whenever possible.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux).
Motion
This preset uses a shorter exposure time so as to freeze motion.

Barcode Settings
C.1
Barcode Settings
The Scanners icon provides dialog boxes in which you can tailor barcode scanner configurations and
choose the barcodes your scanner will recognize.
•
Tap on Start>Settings> System>Scanners icon.
The parameters are preset with the default settings of the decoded scanner installed in the unit.
Important: To enable a newly-installed scanner, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.
For information on configuring the Options, Translations, and Ports settings,
see Omnii.
C.1.1
Scanner Options
The drop-down menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose configurations for one of the
following scanner types, depending on what is installed in/on your hand-held: Decoded (internal), Decoded
(HHP), Decoded (Intermec ISCP), and Non-decoded Scanners.
The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the barcodes it supports. Always
defer to your barcode scanner’s programming manual when in doubt about the availability or settings for
any parameter.
Note: Your Omnii comes preconfigured from the factory for internal scanner types. To determine the
type of scanner installed in your unit, go to Start>Setting>System>System Properties icon.
Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to ‘on’) only those
codes that are required by the application.
Keep in mind that some barcode types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. All
internal scanners can be configured using these dialog boxes.
C.1.2
Restoring Default Settings
If you want to restore the factory defaults after making changes, the defaults can be applied to a selected
parameter, sub-tree of parameters, or all scanner parameters.

C.1.3.1
Tap on the Scanner drop-down menu, and choose Decoded (internal).
Options
Note: Some options are available only for specific scanners. Refer to the option names in this section for scanner model identification.
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for Dot Time (msec) determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on
before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box
is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables
the target dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or
trigger is pressed.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99.
The value is measured in tenths of seconds.
C.1.3.2
Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
Scan Mode
You can set the method of scanning by setting this parameter to Scan beam only, Aim with Scan: 1 trigger
pull, Aim with Scan: 2 trigger pulls, Aim with Scan on trigger release, and Continuous Scan Mode. Default is
Scan beam only.
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins
sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value
from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned off, once the
scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount of time to complete its
current decode before the scan is cancelled when you quickly trigger on/off.
C-4
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Appendix C: Scanner Settings
Decoded (Internal) Scanners
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power mode options:
Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or serial communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger pull or serial
communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to scan a barcode.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a successful decode. The
scanner wakes from low power mode when a barcode is scanned — a successful decode restores normal
flashing.
This is only used if the unit’s Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the unit is used in a fixed
mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as a hand-held.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30
sec., 1 min., 2 min. or 3 min.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and Omnii is
mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter barcodes.
Linear Security Level
This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your barcode quality. There are four
levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels
should be selected for decreasing levels of barcode quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s
decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4.
Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before being
decoded:
Code Type
Length
Codabar
All
MSI Plessey
4 or less
D 5 of 5
8 or less
I 2 of 5
8 or less
Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice before being decoded.
Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be successfully read twice
before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:
Code Type
Length
MSI Plessey
4 or less
D 2 of 5
8 or less
I 2 of 5
8 or less
Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before being decoded.

Appendix C: Scanner Settings
Decoded (HHP)
Bi-Direction Redundancy
Note: This parameter is only valid if a “Linear Security Level” is enabled.
When this parameter is enabled, a barcode must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded.
C.1.3.3
Decoded (Internal) Data Options
Transmit Code ID Char
A code ID character identifies the scanned barcode type. In addition to any single character prefix already
selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a transmit code:
None, AIM or Symbol.
Scan Data Format
This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format.
Double-tapping on Scan Data Format displays the following options from which you can choose a data
format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2] and
[P] data [S1][S2].
Prefix [P], Suffix [S1] and Suffix [S2]
A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. When you double-tap on these parameters, dialog boxes are displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 255.
Delete Char Set ECIs
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to delete any escape sequences representing Character
Set ECIs (Extended Channel Interpretations [also known as GLIs]) from its buffer before transmission.
When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 barcodes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.
ECI Decoder
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs)
supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs.
If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner
transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data.

Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and the unit
is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to Enabled allows decoding of parameter barcodes.
Same Read Validate
The data is only transmitted after repeated reads give the same result. The value assigned at this parameter determines the number of reads required, from 0 to 10 times.
Same Read Timeout
Prevents the same barcode from being read more than once. The value assigned determines after what
time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.
Diff Read Timeout
Prevents unwanted reading of other barcodes on the same label. The value assigned determines after what
time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.

box is displayed in which you can enter a value from 0 to 3000. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
When enabled, this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 barcodes (2 characters). When disabled,
these short barcodes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the hand-held must decode more
potential barcodes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose barcodes with 4 or more characters.

Non-Decoded Scanners
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after
the initial decode, prior to a barcode being accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes
to decode a barcode but also improve the reliability of the decoded barcode.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge barcodes (Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN).
Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the
barcode. The default value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in Table C.3.

Quick Defrost Application
The Omnii XT15f is a freezer capable hand-held computer with integrated heaters designed to improve the
functionality and operation of the hand-held device in extreme cold environments. The Arctic variant has
two heaters; one for the display and one for the scanner window. The Chiller variant has only one heater
which is located on the scanner window. The Quick Defrost application is the nerve center of the heater
related information. The Setting tab allows the configuration of the suspend time of the heating system
along with the scanner window power setting. The Heater Info tab provide instantaneous heater information for each individual heater and the overall heating system. For environmental specifications for this
computer, see “Hardware Specifications” on page F-4.
To ensure proper operation of the hand-held device in a freezer environment, the surface temperature is
managed by the heating system to prevent the formation of external/internal condensation on critical modules. The heating system consists of two heating elements; one for the display and one for the scan window.
Quick Defrost Settings
The individual heaters for the computer modules can be monitored, and the duration of time for them to
remain on during Suspend mode can be configured.
•
Tap on Start>Settings>System.

F.4.1.1
Suspend Threshold
The Suspend Threshold option allows you to maintain heat for a limited time when the computer enters
Suspend mode. Once the threshold is reached, the heater will stay off while the computer is in suspend.
•
To set the time, slide the trackbar to the desired time and click OK. Values range from 0 to 5 minutes.
Note: Keep in mind that a longer suspend threshold will reduce the overall battery shift life.
F.4.1.2
Scan Window
The Scan Window option allows the user to set the power level for the periphery scan window heater. There
are two pull down options:
High power (default): This heating profile is designed for users who are in and out of the freezer frequently
(with a freezer dwell time of less than 20 minutes). This heating profile keeps a constant positive temperature on the scan window, eliminating external and/or internal condensation from frequent transitions.
Note: Keep in mind that this heating algorithm provides additional power at the expense of the battery
shift life.
Low power: This heating profile is designed for users who spend long durations in the freezer environment.
It is a less aggressive algorithm, compared to the High power mode, that maximizes battery shift life. This
profile addresses the formation of internal condensation to keep the scan window clear of condensation.
These two scan window power modes can be adjusted on the fly, providing the user with the needed flexibility for optimal performance.

Network Configuration
By default the radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For
example, you might want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is
not available but a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network
does not have GPRS roaming agreements. In this case, you’ll need to manually select the network which
you know supports GPRS roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled by default. You can also choose a network manually from the
drop-down menu.
Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have roaming
agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘Available’ status, it does not necessarily
follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers GPRS.
