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.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an
Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7530 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7530 screen. The 7530 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 before preforming data uploads.
3.12 General Maintenance
3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is 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,
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated miner acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN HU6110). 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.

3.12.2 Cleaning The 7530
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your
7530 is equipped with a touchscreen).
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 41.
A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7530 equipped with a touchscreen has a
stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7530.
The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your 753 0 .
To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

Switch State To Suspend
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely affect the battery run time.
To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 89).
When the 7530 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on), the hand-held uses the value assigned in the
Switch State To Suspend
field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the
Suspend
field elapses without any activity, the unit enters
Suspend
state. In
Suspend
state, the 7530 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing <ENTER> wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7530 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.

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.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.
Scan Beep
This parameter determines whether or not the 7530 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or
‘OFF’ to disable it.
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code 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.
Double Click Parameters
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.

Scanner Options
Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 7530 following a double-click.
A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The
ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.
Options
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. The allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
When enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the
7530 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve the reliability of the decoded bar code.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes
(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 bar code. The default value of
30 is generally a good compromise setting.

Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to

Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. The bar code settings do not affect the operation of internal or external decoded scanners. These scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration bar codes. These configuration bar codes affect the communication speed or data format between the scanner and the 7530 and must not be changed.

AIAG Strip
If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.
Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.
This is because the 753 0 hand-held performs the strip function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data is not identified as AIAG.
Error Accept
If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is not accepted.

5.8 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Setup
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol used to monitor and manage devices attached to a TCP/IP network (providing they support SNMP).
SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that define the variables an
SNMP Network Management Station can access. Each product has a defined set of
MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.
All Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB – a MIB that defines some common features across Teklogix products. All devices also support
MIB-II, a management information base that defines the common features of
TCP/IP networks. The SNMP Agent software embedded in the 7530 product supports SNMPv1 (RFC 1157).

The Tekterm Application
6.1 The Tekterm Application
Tekterm is a powerful emulation application ideally suited for real time data transaction applications associated with mainframes and servers. The 7530 includes unique features that support Tekterm – a Psion Teklogix application that has the ability to maintain multiple simultaneous sessions with a variety of host computers.
6.2 Additional Keyboard Functions
In addition to the standard keyboard functions (see “The Keyboard” on page 35),
Tekterm supports function keys, softkeys and macro keys.
6.2.1 Function Keys And Softkeys
6.2.1.1 Function Keys
The 7530 is equipped with a series of function keys each of which is defined in the application software. Depending on the type of keyboard your 7530 has – 58-key or
36-key – the number and location of the function keys on the keyboard varies slightly.
58-Key Keyboard Function Keys
The 58-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to
<F6> are located across the top of the keyboard and are directly accessible – a key combination is not required. Function keys <F7> to <F30> are colour coded in blue print above the alpha keys and are accessed using a key combination – <BLUE> followed by the appropriate alpha key.
To access function keys <F7> to <F30>:
• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the alpha key to which the function key you want to use is mapped. For example:
To access function key <F7>, press <BLUE> <C>.
To access function key <F8>, press <BLUE> <D>, and so on.
36-Key Keyboard Function Keys
The 36-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to
<F4> are located across the top of the keyboard and function keys <F5> to <F10> are located at the bottom of the keyboard.

6.2.1.2 Softkey Function Keys
To speed the process of moving through menus and changing parameters, function keys <F1> to <F5> have been programmed to perform specific actions in the
Tekterm menus. Table 6.1 describes these function keys.
These softkeys can be reprogrammed to perform different functions within TESS and ANSI applications.
Important: If your 753 0 is equipped with a touchscreen, tapping the stylus on the appropriate softkey label executes the function of the softkey providing that the labels are visible at the bottom of the 753 0 screen. See “Softkeys” on page 182 if they are not visible.

6.3 Keyboard Modes
6.3.1 View Mode
Placing the 7530 keyboard in View mode allows you to choose another screen font and to pan the contents of the screen.
To place the computer keyboard in View mode:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V>.
When the hand-held is in View mode, the onscreen message – View – is displayed in the status area at the bottom of the screen.
Keep in mind that this is a toggle key combination – pressing <CTRL> <ALT> <V> a second time turns View mode off.
6.3.1.1 Changing Font Sizes
To cycle through the available fonts (with the unit in View mode):
• Press the <F> key.
Each time you press the <F> key, the font on the screen changes. Once you’ve displayed the appropriate font:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V> to exit View mode.
6.3.1.2 Panning The Screen Contents
If the content of a screen is too large to fit in the margins of the 7530 display, the content can be panned or shifted to bring the information outside the margins into view. Normally, the Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow pressed. However, if the 7530 is operating in View mode, the <LEFT>,
<RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys pan the entire content of the screen rather than the cursor.
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V> to place the 7530 in View mode. An onscreen message – View – is displayed in the status area of the screen.

Exiting View Mode
Panning relies on the values set in the “Use Increment”, “X Increment” and
“Y Increment” parameters to determine the number of columns (spaces) and rows
(lines) the screen contents shift.
• In the “More Parameters” menu, position the cursor on “View Manager” and press <F1>.
• First, enable the “Use Increment” parameter – set it to “Y”.
“X Increment” determines the number of columns (spaces) the screen pans when the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow key is pressed in View mode.
“Y Increment” determines the number of rows (lines) the screen pans when the
<UP> or <DOWN> arrow key is pressed in View mode.
• Assign a value to the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters.
To pan the screen contents:
• Press the <RIGHT>, <LEFT>, <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.
Note: Pressing the <LEFT> arrow pans the screen to the right, pressing the
<RIGHT> arrow pans the screen to the left, and so on.
6.3.1.3 Exiting View Mode
To exit View mode and resume normal operation:
• Press <CTRL> <ALT> <V> again.
Note: You can press the <BLUE> key followed by the appropriate arrow key each time you want to pan the contents one increment at a time in the direction of the arrow key without placing the 753 0 in View mode.
