Authentication
802.11 supports two subtypes of network authentication services: Open
and Shared. 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.
Network Key:
This text box is used to 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.
•
To assign a Network key, press <TAB> to highlight ‘The key is provided automatically’, and press the <SPACE> key to disable this option.

“802.1X” is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area
networks. It provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet
network, whether wired or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS
or MD5 encapsulated in an “EAP” is used in conjunction with the “802.1x”
standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer. Available EAPs are listed
in the dropdown menu next to the ‘EAP’ option.
•
To activate “802.1X”, press <TAB> to highlight ‘Enable 802.1x authentication’, and press the <SPACE> key to enable (√) it.
EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol):
This dropdown menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The
items in this dropdown menu will vary depending on your network setup.

a ‘Certificate’. By selecting the Properties button, you will be able to select a
Certificate. “Certificate Assignment” on page 105 provides a website that
outlines how to create certificates for your network.
6. Saving and exiting the radio setup.
Once you have completed your configuration, press <ENTER> or tap
on OK.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a preferred

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
•

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.

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.
