Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC

This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC.

If your end-of-life Psion Teklogix product or accessory carries a label as shown here, please contact your local country representative for details on how to arrange recycling. For a list of international subsidiaries, please go to:

http://www.psionteklogix.com/EnvironmentalCompliance

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in

Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The

“Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products,

Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the

EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

FCC Information To Users

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2), for use in a


PDA. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying

RF exposure compliance.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some equipment in hospitals and aircraft are not shielded from radio frequency energy. Do not use the PDA onboard aircraft, or in hospitals, without first obtaining permission.

Do not use near pacemakers. The product may affect the operation of some medically implanted devices such as pacemakers. Avoid placing your PDA next to such devices. Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the device and the PDA to reduce the risk of interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the PDA and contact your cardiologist for assistance.

Note: To maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear the PDA on your body, use the Psion Teklogix approved carrying case.

Use of non-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Emissions Information For Canada

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. When using the 802.11 radio option, to prevent radio interference, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment

3. The Battery

Warning: Counterfeit Lithium-ion Battery Packs!

Non genuine battery packs are also not likely to meet the strict functional and environmental specification required for safe and correct operation when used in Psion

Teklogix equipment. Using or attempting to recharge non genuine battery packs could result in poor performance, product damage, excessive heat being generated, battery leakage, fire or explosion resulting in personal injury. To avoid these issues only purchase and use genuine battery packs from known and trusted Psion Teklogix distributors.


Battery must be fully charged before first use.

Warning: Before charging or using the battery pack, it is critical that the safety information in this section be reviewed and that all warnings are strictly followed.

The iKôn PDA operates with a 5000 mAh, Lithium-Ion battery, model number ??

32



Battery Safety

3.2.1

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 ‘iKôn Rugged PDA Regulatory & Warranty Guide’,

PN 8000148.

3.2.2

Removing The Battery Pack

Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove the battery. When the cover is removed, a power-off switch is automatically activated and the unit power is switched off; if the battery cover is opened while the

PDA is still powered on, the unit may reboot. Any active sessions may be lost.

Keep in mind also that while the battery is installed, the iKôn PDA internal, super-capacitors will save the current data for up to 5 minutes.

Refer to “Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On” on page 11.

3.2.3

Battery Swap Time

Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is approximately 5 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 SD/MMC memory card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.

The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the

PDA 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 PDA shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.

(Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 126 for details about reserving battery power for data backup purposes.)

Important: Before opening the battery cover on your unit to remove the battery, you must turn off the PDA. If the battery cover is opened while the unit is still powered on, the unit may reboot.


33


Charging The Battery

3.2.4

Charging The Battery

Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must be fully charged prior to use.

Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the iKôn PDA is equipped with internal, super-capacitors that preserves data stored on the unit for a short period of time while the battery is swapped.

3.2.4.1 Chargers And Docking Stations

Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations, refer to Chapter 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 241.

Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:

• AC wall adaptor (Model # ??PS1050-G1) ??– operates as an AC power source and when plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.

• Desktop Docking Station (Model # ??WA4003-G2) – ??operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the PDA and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.

• Quad Docking Station – (Model # ?? can charge the battery of up to four iKôn PDAs inserted in the docking station.

• Single Battery Charger (Model # ?? WA3001-G1) – charges a single battery.

It can take up to 4 hours to charge a battery. The iKôn PDA intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 43 for additional information about the battery.

Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0° C to 40° C (32° F to 104° F).

3.4

The Keyboards

3.4.1

iKôn PDA Keyboards

The following iKôn PDA keyboards are available:

• 28-key numeric keyboard

• 47-key alpha-numeric keyboard

Note: Depending on the operating system installed in your unit – Windows Mobile 6 Clas-

sic or Windows Mobile 6 Professional – the keyboard keys will vary slightly.

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, the differences are noted.

The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.


35


Modifier Keys

Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.

3.4.2

Modifier Keys

The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.

Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. ?? For example, on a iKôn PDA C, 47-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key.

Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [4] key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4. ??

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.

3.4.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State Indicator

When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon.

• Tap on Start>Settings followed by the Buttons icon.

• Tap on the One Shots tab at the bottom of the screen.

• Tap in the check box next to Show modifier key state to display the shift-state indicator icon.

3.4.2.2 Locking Modifier Keys

Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing a modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 87 for details. Note too that by default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.

When a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off.

To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shiftstate indicator icon with a black frame around it.

Figure 3.4 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier Key

Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.

3.4.3

The Keys

The [SHIFT] Key

The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.

If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.

The [BKSP/DEL] Key

The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.

The Keys

The [ALT] And [CTRL] Keys

The [ALT] and [CTRL] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. Note that if your keyboard is equipped with [Talk] and [End] phone keys, the

[ALT] and [CTRL] keys are displayed as softkeys on the PDA screen.

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 and return to the previous one.

The [SPACE] Key

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] Keys

The iKôn PDA is equipped with two [SCAN] keys located just below the display and a

[SCAN] button situated on the left 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.

The Function Keys–[F1] to [F10]

Function keys [F1] to [F10] perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are accessed by pressing [FN/BLUE] followed by numeric keys [1] to [10]. They can be used with the Windows Mobile 6 operating system or another application. Keep in mind that the following function keys are used by the Windows Mobile 6 operating system: [F1] - softkey 1,

[F2] - softkey 2, [F6] - volume up, and [F7] - volume down.

Function keys [F1], [F2], [F3] and [F4] labelled in grey boxes next to the [TAB], [ALT],

[ESC] and [CTRL] keys allow you to remap these keys for your application.

The Macro Keys–[M1] to [M3] ??

Macro keys [M1] to [M3] contain up to 20 programmable characters (“positions”) and executable keys. These keys are accessed by pressing [FN/ORANGE] followed by alpha keys

[O], [P] or [Q]. When pressed, the macro key executes a custom-defined string of characters, including executable keys.

The Numeric Keyboard – Accessing Alpha Keys

3.4.4

The Numeric Keyboard – Accessing Alpha Keys

On numeric keypads, you’ll need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters.

3.4.4.1 Choosing A Single Alpha Character

The examples below illustrate how to access, A, B and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key [2].

Important: The letters you choose appear in the softkey bar, providing a visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.

To choose the letter a:

• Press the [FN/ORANGE] key, and type the numeric key [2].

Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key, you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set up in the

‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 87 for details.

To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:

• Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. A shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar represents the orange key with a black frame around it to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.

• Press numeric key [2] twice to display the letter b.

To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c:

• Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.

• Press numeric key [2] three times to display the letter c.

Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the

[FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.

3.4.4.2 Creating Uppercase Letters

To display capital letters, you need to first lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’.

• Press the [SHIFT] key twice.


39


The Keypad Backlight

All alpha keys are displayed in uppercase until you press the [SHIFT] key again to ‘unlock’

(switch off) the function of this key.

3.4.4.3 Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters

• Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.

Each time you press a numeric key from [2] through [9], an alpha character will be displayed on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the softkey bar for a visual indication of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen.

Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or unlock the [FN/ORANGE] key. Check the shift-state indicator icon (refer to

Figure 3.4 on page 37) to make certain that the key is turned off.

3.4.5

The Keypad Backlight

The intensity of the keypad backlight can be configured using the Backlight icon accessed by tapping on Start>Settings. Refer to “Backlight” on page 108 for details about this option.

3.5

The Display

iKôn PDAs are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed or the screen is tapped.

3.5.1

Adjusting The Backlight

To set the backlight intensity and the duration of time that the backlight will remain on, you’ll need to choose the Backlight icon.

• Tap on Start>Settings and then, tap on System tab>Backlight icon.

Refer to “Backlight” on page 108 for details.

3.5.2

Aligning (Calibrating) The Touchscreen
