Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station. Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.

For battery safety, refer to “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” beginning on page 252. All batteries must be charged before use. The 7530 battery can be charged with a variety of chargers. These include: • • • 6-Gang Charger (Model #HU3006) – charges up to six Lithium-Ion batteries at one time. Portable Docking Module (Model #HU4001 or HU1005 and HU3220 or HU3220) – charges the 7530 battery (with the battery installed in the unit). Combo Charger (Model #HU3002) – a desktop charger that charges the 7530 internal battery along with a spare battery pack. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 33 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Switching The 7530 Hand-Held On And Off • • • Combo Docking Station (Model #HU4002) – operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the computer and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously. Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004) – can charge the battery of up to four 7530s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an Ethernet connection. Powered Cradle (Model #HU1000, HU1010) – can charge the 7530 with the battery installed in the hand-held. It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7530’s 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 53 for additional information about the 7530 battery. Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0˚C (32˚F) and 39˚C (102˚F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 43 for details. 3.3 Switching The 7530 Hand-Held On And Off Switching On The 7530 • • Press and hold down the <ENTER/ON> key for at least one second. When all four LEDs flash orange, release the <ENTER/ON> button. A splash screen displaying the Psion Teklogix logo and the Microsoft® Windows® CE. net logo appears followed by the startup desktop. Note: If the 7530 is in suspend state, pressing <ENTER/ON> key ‘wakes’ the unit from this state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend state is displayed. 34 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 The Keyboard Switching Off The 7530 Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7530 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7530 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds. To switch off the 7530: • Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key. Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7530 will not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key again to unlock it; then press <BLUE> <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7530 off. If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialogue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7530 can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is locked ‘on’. 3.4 The Keyboard The 7530 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key, large button keyboard. 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 <BLUE> and <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. 3.4.1 Modifier Keys The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the <4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Activating Modifier Keys 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. 3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7530 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar. 3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the <BLUE> key twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen. The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed. Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be disabled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’. If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the <BLUE> and/or <ORANGE> key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details. 3.4.2 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. The Arrow Keys The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow – up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear. 36 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 The 58-Key Keyboard 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 (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position. The <CTRL> And <ALT> Key The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. 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, dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one. The <SPACE> Key Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (√) or disables a checkbox. The <SCAN> Key Pressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it – activates the scanner beam while pressed. For units that do not have internal scanners, this key is inoperable. 3.4.3 The 58-Key Keyboard In addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 58-key keyboard also provides function keys and macro keys. Function keys <F1> through <F24> can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys – <F25> through <F30> along with the macros are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system. All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard Functions” on page 147 for details about Tekterm keys. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 37 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 The 37-Key Keyboard 3.4.4 The 37-Key Keyboard On 37-key 7530s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed. Because the alpha keys on a 37-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help illustrate how to access alpha characters. Choosing A Single Alpha Character Note: Keep in mind that the following examples assume that ‘One Shot’ is enabled for the <ORANGE> key. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details. The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key, <2>. To choose the letter ‘a’: • Press the <ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>. To choose the letter ‘b’: • Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and press <2> twice. • Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off. To choose the letter ‘c’: • Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’. • Press <2> three times, and then • Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off. Creating Uppercase Letters To display a capital letter: • Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the alpha character. 38 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 The 37-Key Keyboard Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow ⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7530 to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the same key. For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are all accessible from the numeric key, <2>. To type the letter ‘a’: • Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, <2>. • Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen. To type the letter ‘b’: • Press the <2> key twice. • Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’. To type the letter ‘c’: • Press the <2> key three times. When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the following: • If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s), leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that supports the alpha character you require. • If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press <ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection. Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒> key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <2> key. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 The Keypad Backlight Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys <2>, <3> and <4>. • • • With the <ORANGE> key locked ‘on’ (press twice), press <2> to type the letter ‘a’. Press <3> to type ‘d’, and press <4> to type the letter ‘g’. To end alpha selection, press the <ORANGE> key a third time to unlock it. 3.4.5 The Keypad Backlight The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is activated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE Control Panel. The behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialogue box. Refer to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 93 for details about this option. Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only. 3.5 The Display 7530s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient light is below the set threshold. A light sensor on the front of the hand-held determines the ambient light level. On some displays, the contrast can also be adjusted to further improve character visibility. 3.5.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight The behaviour of the display backlight – the ambient light threshold below which the backlight will become active and the intensity of the backlight – can be specified in the Display Properties dialogue box in the Windows CE Control Panel. Note: Refer to “Display Backlight” on page 89 for details about the Display Properties dialogue box. 40 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Adjusting The Contrast 3.5.2 Adjusting The Contrast Note: In addition to the manual adjustments described in this section, the display contrast can also be adjusted using the Windows CE Control Panel. Refer to “Display Contrast” on page 88 for details about this dialogue box. The display contrast can be adjusted from the unit keyboard using the <BLUE> key and function keys <F1> and <F2>. Pressing <F1> darkens the display, and pressing <F2> lightens the display. Keep in mind that adjusting the contrast on a colour display is much less pronounced than on a monochrome display. To adjust the display contrast: • Press the <BLUE> key twice to lock it on, and then press <F1> . to darken the display or <F2> . to lighten the display. • Once you’ve successfully adjusted the display contrast, remember to press the <BLUE> key again to turn it ‘off’. 3.5.3 Calibrating The Touchscreen If your 7530 touchscreen has never been calibrated or if you find that the stylus pointer is not accurate when you tap on an item, use the Stylus Properties dialogue box in the Windows CE Control Panel to recalibrate the screen. • In the Control Panel, choose the Stylus icon to display the Stylus Properties window.

Figure 3.7 Taskbar This display changes dynamically, and only those icons that are applicable are displayed. For example, if a radio is not installed in your 7535, the radio signal icon is not displayed in the taskbar. Windows® Start Button If you have a touchscreen, you can display the Start Menu by tapping on the Windows® Start button in the taskbar. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 45 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Onscreen Indicators Modifier Key Indicators <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> are modifier keys that have onscreen indicators to show when a key is active or locked. If a modifier key is pressed once to activate it, the key is displayed in the taskbar in lowercase characters – for example, pressing the <BLUE> key once displays blue key in the taskbar. If a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked on’ and the onscreen indicator is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar – for example, pressing <BLUE> twice displays BLUE KEY in the taskbar. Battery Gauge The battery shaped icon displayed in the taskbar provides a visual indication of the remaining battery power. The icon acts as a meter that is either full, at three-quarter level, half, quarter level or empty. When the battery level is low – approximately 15 minutes from empty – a warning window pops up. When the battery power is completely depleted, a final warning window indicates that the 7535 will be powered down. If the 7535 is using external AC power, an AC icon is displayed in the taskbar.

Remember to press the <BLUE> key again to turn it ‘off’. 3.7 Internal Scanners Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer to “Internal Scanner Specifications” beginning on page 281. The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner Properties dialogue box in the Control Panel. The 7535 can be equipped with a: • • • One dimensional (1D) internal laser scanner, Internal PDF laser scanner, or a Two dimensional (2D) internal imager scanner. It is critical that you review the warnings listed in “Laser Warnings” on page xvi in the Approvals and Safety section at the beginning of this manual before using any of the scanners described in this chapter. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 49 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail. 48 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Scanning Techniques 3.7.1 Scanning Techniques Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners. • • • • • • Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode. Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, 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 bar code you want to scan. Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes. Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together. 3.7.2 Scan LED Indicators The 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left 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 bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is released. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 49 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Troubleshooting 3.7.3 Troubleshooting If the scanner is not working, investigate the following: • Is the 7530 on? • Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code. • Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code. • Check that the bar code is within the proper range. • Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in the 7530. • Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code? • Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging. 3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners • Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Important: • 50 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 120 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. Aim at the bar code 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. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners 3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes. • • Turn the 7530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed. 3.7.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree angle to the 7530 will be decoded successfully. Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are within the field of view, not all of them may be decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes. When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code 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 bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the 7535. 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 bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner. Turn the 7535 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 51 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals • 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 bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned. Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken. 3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals Tethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it. An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation. To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7535: • Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should be aligned. Figure 3.8 Attaching The Cable To The Tether Port 52 Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To remove the peripheral: • Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector. Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether Cable Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell. 3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 10 hours. As Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7535 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53 Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following: • • • The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible. The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible. The 7530 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than nominal. Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recalibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary. • • • 54 When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week – in this case, the battery should be removed. Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery. The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired and will notify the user. Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded their lifespan. Psion Teklogix 7530 Hand-Held Computer User Manual Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 Storing Batteries 3.9.1 Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary: • • • • • Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time. Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C. Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit. To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage. A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods. 3.10 Monitoring The Network Connection If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link. To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard: • • • • Press <BLUE> <0> to display the Start Menu. Choose System Tray from the menu. Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar. Press <ENTER> to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box. If you have a touchscreen: • Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics dialogue box. Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.
