Preparing to use your MC35

Perform the following easy setup tasks to begin using your device:

1 Install the battery pack.

2 Charge your device.

3 Install ActiveSync 4.2 or higher on your computer.

4 Start the MC35.

5 Create an ActiveSync partnership between your device and your computer.

Installing the battery pack

Your MC35 uses a high-density removable and rechargeable 1370 mAh lithium polymer/

standard life battery. See “Battery problem” on page 213 for more information on how to

conserve power consumption to make your battery last longer.

NOTE: An optional 2740 mAh extended life battery is available.

WARNING!

Preparing to use your MC35

To install the battery pack:

Align the tabs on the battery pack with the grooves on the rear side of the device, and then insert the battery pack in place. The battery pack locks to the chassis with an audible click.

To uninstall the battery pack:

1 If the device is on, press the Power button to turn off the device.

Wait for five seconds to allow the device to completely power off.

2 Slide the battery latch toward the unlock icon to release the battery pack from the chassis (1) .

3 Completely detach the battery pack from the device (2) .

Charging the MC35

Initial charging of a standard life battery takes about four hours. The extended life battery type requires at least eight hours. After the initial charging, charge your device everyday to restore the battery to full capacity. Charge your device using the AC adapter cable, see instructions below.

While waiting for the initial charging to complete, install Microsoft ® ActiveSync ® 4.2 or higher on your computer to prepare for the initial synchronization procedure. Refer to the next section for instructions.

To charge your device:

NOTE: Use the clip plug applicable in your country.

1 Slide the replaceable clip plug into the AC adapter until it locks into place with an audible click.



2 Plug the AC adapter cable into the mini USB connector on bottom of the device.

3 Connect the AC adapter cable into an electrical outlet.

The LED indicator on the right side of the touch screen lights up orange to signify that AC connection is made.

If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a status icon appears

on the device screen indicating low or depleted battery status (see "Status icons" on page 18 for more information). In both cases, perform an ActiveSync operation to

back up your data, and then recharge your device as soon as possible.

If the battery level reaches low status, the device enters sleep mode ; if the battery level reaches very low status, the device enters deep sleep mode . In this case, you have about 72 hours to recharge your device after which you risk losing all data on your device’s internal memory.

Installing Microsoft ActiveSync

ActiveSync is already installed on your MC35; you only need to install it on your computer.

To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer:

1 Close all open programs, including those that run at startup, and disable any virus-scanning software.

2 Download the ActiveSync setup software from the Microsoft ActiveSync Download page at http://www.microsoft.com.

3 On the download prompt, click Open .

4 Follow all on-screen instructions to complete installation.

To confirm you've successfully installed ActiveSync, open ActiveSync, then click

Help > About Microsoft ActiveSync .

For detailed information about using ActiveSync on your computer, start ActiveSync on your computer, click Help > Microsoft ActiveSync Help .

Starting the MC35

After you have initially charged your device, the device is ready for use. You can now start your device where you will calibrate the display, learn basic stylus usage, and set up the system date and time.

To start your MC35:

NOTE: After pressing the power button, wait four seconds for the device to power on before pressing the power button again.

1 Turn on your device by pressing the Power button located on the right side of the touch screen.

2 Follow the on-screen Welcome Screen Wizard instructions.

3 After the device setup, create an ActiveSync partnership to synchronize information between your computer and/or server and your MC35.

Creating an ActiveSync partnership

After installing ActiveSync on your computer and completing the device setup, you can now set up a partnership between your MC35 (first time connection only) and your computer and/or a server with the help of the New Partnership setup wizard. This wizard will help you:

• Set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your computer

• Customize your synchronization settings



To create an ActiveSync partnership:

1 Connect the USB sync cable into the connector on the bottom of your device, then plug the USB sync cable into a USB port on your computer.

The Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts on your computer screen.

NOTE: If the wizard does not automatically appear, launch ActiveSync on your computer by clicking on its icon from Start > Programs .

2 Follow the on-screen instructions.

To prevent synchronization problems, select the “Synchronize directly with a server running Microsoft Exchange Server...” option only if you are certain that your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync and you know the server address and logon credentials. For more information, contact your corporate network administrator or service provider.

By default, ActiveSync only synchronize information for Contacts, Calendar,

Messaging (Outlook E-Mail), Tasks, and Favorites (for Internet Explorer Mobile). If you decide to synchronize other files, for example, Word documents, ActiveSync need to convert these files. Converted files may not contain all information found in original file.

5

6



3 Click Finish to close the wizard and start the initial synchronization.

During the synchronization process, the ActiveSync window appears on your computer, while the Data connectivity icon appears on your device’s navigation bar.

After the initial synchronization, the information types you’ve selected for synchronization are copied to your device. Disconnect your device from your computer and you're ready to go!

The next time you connect your device, your computer recognizes it automatically.

You don’t need to set up the partnership again. You can initiate synchronization from your device anytime via several connection options—via USB sync cable, infrared, or Bluetooth connections. For more information on these connection options and

other ActiveSync configuration settings, see “Using ActiveSync” on page 30.

• To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message, then tap Move on the pop-up menu.

Downloading messages

The manner in which messages are downloaded in your device depends on the type account you have.

• E-mail messages in an Outlook E-mail account can be downloaded during

ActiveSync synchronization.

• E-mail messages in an e-mail account provided by your ISP, or that you access using a virtual private network (VPN) server can be downloaded from a remote email server.

• Text messages are automatically received by your device when the phone function is turned on. When the phone function is disabled, messages are held by your mobile phone service provider until the next time you turn the phone function on.

Synchronizing Outlook e-mail messages

Outlook e-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general ActiveSync synchronization process.

During ActiveSync synchronization:

• Only the first 500 bytes (or characters, including spaces) of each new message sent to you within the last three days.

• Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your computer, or from a

Microsoft Exchange server, to the Outlook E-mail Inbox folder on your device.

• The messages on your device and on your computer are linked. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from your computer the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.

To set up ActiveSync e-mail synchronization:

1 Open ActiveSync on your computer.


3 In the Mobile Device list under the Desktop area, select the “E-mail” option.

4 Click OK .

To configure ActiveSync e-mail synchronization settings:


2 On ActiveSync on your computer, make sure the details pane is open. If it’s not, click Show Details .

3 Double-click E-Mail .

4 Select the e-mail synchronization options you prefer.

• If you receive long messages often and want to synchronize them in full, select a larger size in the “Limit e-mail size to” list.

• If you want to synchronize more past messages, increase the interval in the

“Include the previous” box.

77


Microsoft Office Mobile programs

• If you want to include email attachments, select the “Include file attachments” option. To limit the size of synchronized attachments, select the “Only if smaller than” option and enter a size limit. Attachments larger than this limit will not be synchronized with your device.

• If you want to synchronize folders other than Inbox, click Select Folders , then select the subfolders that you want to synchronize.

The Deleted Items folder synchronizes only one direction, from the device to the computer. Items in the Deleted Items folder on your computer will not appear on your device.

5 Click OK twice .

Synchronizing POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages

POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages are downloaded using an e-mail server connection.

During e-mail server synchronization:

• New e-mail messages are downloaded to that account’s Inbox folder.

• E-mail messages in that account’s Outbox folder are sent.

• E-mail messages that have been deleted in the e-mail server are removed from your device’s Inbox folder.

• If you are using a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on your device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server sees that the messages are missing from the device’s Inbox and delete them from the server.

This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except your device.

• If you are using an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or from your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.

To synchronize POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages:

1 On the message list on your device, tap Menu > Go To , then select the e-mail account you want to use.

2 Tap Menu > Send/Receive .

Using Phone

The phone function of your MC35 EDA boasts of standard cell phone features—such as mailbox and text messages—as well as several handy call features including Speed Dial,

Caller ID, Conference Call, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Voice Mail and Text messages,

Fixed Dialing, Call Barring, Call History, speakerphone, note taking, voice mail, and emergency number setting.

The Phone program is integrated with both Microsoft Contacts and Messaging. This means you can make a call and send e-mail/text messages from any of these three programs. This fully integrated functionality of Phone also makes sharing contact information between programs an easier task.

This chapter shows you how to install a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card on your device. It also describes basic phone operations and features, as well as ways of customizing the phone function based on your preferences.

• Dialer screen

Phone setup

Installing the SIM card

If you wish to use the phone function, you need to first install a valid SIM card.

A SIM card is a small printed circuit board that must be installed when signing on as a subscriber in a GSM-based mobile phone like your MC35. It contains subscriber details, security information and memory for a personal directory of numbers.

To install the SIM card:

1 If the device is switched on:

(a) Press the Power button to turn off the device.

(b) Wait for five seconds to allow the device to completely enter sleep mode.

2

Remove the battery pack. See “To unistall the battery pack” on page 2 for

instructions.

3 With the rear panel facing you, slide the SIM card holder to the right.

4 Lift the holder halfway from the recess area.

109


Phone setup

5 Insert the SIM card into the SIM card holder.

Note the proper position of the SIM card—the card connector (i.e., gold area) should be facing downward with the beveled corner fitting the lower-left corner of the recess area.

6 Press the SIM card holder down.

7 Slide the SIM card holder to the left to lock it into place.

8

Reinstall the battery pack. See “To install the battery pack” on page 2 for

instructions.

The default settings for your device are programmed on the assumption that you’ll be using the phone function once you’ve properly installed a SIM card (and in some cases, entered a PIN), you can then proceed to establishing a connection to your mobile service provider’s network.

NOTE: If you’re not going to install a SIM card on your device, keep the Phone program closed or turn the program off using Wireless Manager to minimize power consumption.

110


Phone setup

Entering your PIN

After installing the SIM card you’ll be able to activate your mobile service connection. In most cases, SIM cards are preset with a PIN (Personal Identity Number), provided by your mobile service provider.

To enter your PIN:

1 Tap > Phone .

2 On the Dialer screen, enter the preset PIN from your mobile phone service provider.

3 Tap Enter .

If you consecutively enter a wrong PIN for three times, the SIM card is blocked. If that happens, you can unblock it with the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK code) also provided by your mobile phone service provider.

NOTE: In some cases, additional local emergency numbers may be provided by your mobile phone service provider.

Generally, you can make a call to these emergency numbers, with or without a SIM card installed on your device, as long as a mobile phone service network is available in your area. However, some mobile phone service providers may require that a SIM card is inserted, and in some cases that the PIN has been entered as well, before an emergency call can be made. Contact your mobile service provider for the requirements applicable to your mobile subscription.

Express GPS Connect

MC35 is integrated with the latest GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to quickly compute positions in locations where GPS signals are barely detectable. Optimum GPS performance can be achieved with Express GPS Connect. This program operates by transferring GPS satellite data (ephemeris information) from the Internet to your device, where it is stored in memory. Express GPS Connect can get satellite data when your

MC35 is connected to your PC or the Internet. This process occurs in the background, ensuring the GPS functions are ready to use at all times.

To open Express GPS Connect:

1 Start a remote connection to the server using a GPRS or WiFi connection.

2 Tap > Settings .

3 On the Connections tab, tap Express GPS Connect .

Using Express GPS Connect

Use Express GPS Connect for the first time

The first time you use your MC35 EDA, make sure your Express GPS Connect satellite data is current. For your first location fix, it is best to be outdoors under an open sky, with no tall buildings or other obstructions close by. It should take one to two minutes to compute the first position fix. After obtaining the first fix, Express GPS Connect operates at the optimum GPS performance level. If the data has expired, you should check your

Express GPS Connect settings.

Express GPS Connect position fix times

• The time it takes for Express GPS Connect to get a position fix varies with signal reception conditions. In open and nearly open sky conditions, the

MC35 typically can get a position fix in just a few seconds. In blocked signal conditions Express GPS Connect will start in one minute or less if the GPS signals are sufficiently strong.

Using your MC35 near a window gives it a better view to the sky and improves the chance of a successful position fix.

• Express GPS Connect starts searching for signals based on the most recent position fix. When traveling to a new location your MC35 will need extra time and more open signal conditions to obtain a location fix. After your first fix in the new location full performance is restored.

• When traveling to a different time zone, you can change the time zone settings to tell Express GPS Connect you have traveled.

Satellite reception

• GPS receivers work best when they have a direct line of sight to the satellites. For example, somebody turning on a GPS receiver in the middle of the Gobi Desert will obtain a position fix much sooner than a GPS user trying to get a position fix in the middle of Wall Street. The reason for this is simple: the Gobi Desert is a huge, flat expanse. It has no tall buildings and very few natural obstructions that could block GPS signals. GPS is ideal for an "open sky" environment like the Gobi Desert.

• In contrast, Wall Street represents an "urban canyon" environment, where tall buildings on both sides of the street block, reflect, and scatter incoming

GPS signals. These conditions also apply when trying to use a GPS receiver indoors. A traditional GPS receiver simply may not be able to compute a position in an urban canyon or indoor environment.

• When you are getting your first GPS position fix with the MC35, try to do it in an environment that is as close to "open sky" as possible. The first position fix is crucial because it includes a calibration process that helps subsequent position fixes to be computed more rapidly. After getting the first position fix, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Express GPS Connect's highsensitivity technology, which, when coupled with Express GPS Connect satellite data, allows you to get position fixes in places where traditional GPS receivers can't.

160



How to improve GPS performance

Your MC35 computes your position faster and more accurately, provided the following are adhered to:

• Always operate with current Express GPS Connect data.

• Configure your MC35 to automatically update Express GPS Connect data.

• Keep the MC35 away from other electronic devices that may emit radio waves (such as laptop computers and USB devices).

• Protect your MC35 from extreme temperature variations and violent shocks.

• If you are indoors and do not get a position after one minute, move to a window to give the MC35 a better view of the sky.

• If you have traveled more than 500 miles since you last used your MC35, or if the unit has been reset, the next position computation should be performed under open sky conditions, and extra time should be allowed.

• When traveling to a different time zone, be sure to change the MC35's time zone settings.

• If you have traveled more than 500 miles from the location where you last used the MC35’s GPS capability, the device will need extra time to compute a position fix. Here are a few ways to reduce the time to obtain a position in your new location.

• If traveling by plane, it is best to wait until you leave the terminal building before trying to obtain your first position fix.

• After the device obtained the first position fix in a new region, optimum

Express GPS Connect performance is restored.

• If you have traveled to another time zone, you can speed up the GPS position computation by changing the time zone settings on your device. This causes Express GPS Connect to proceed immediately to a global satellite search.

• If you do not change the time zone, Express GPS Connect will initially search for satellites based on your previous position, increasing the time required to obtain a position fix.

AirBEAM Smart

The AirBEAM Smart product allows specially designed software packages to be transferred between a host server and MC35. Before transfer, AirBEAM Smart checks and compares package version, so that only updated packages are loaded.

AirBEAM Smart resides on radio-equipped client devices and allows them to request, download and install software, as well as to upload files and status data. Both download and upload of files can be accomplished in a single communications session. The ability to transfer software over a radio network can greatly reduce the logistical efforts of client software management.

In an AirBEAM Smart system, a network-accessible host server acts as the storage point for the software transfer. The AirBEAM Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or

TFTP file transfer protocols to check the host system for updates and, if necessary, to transfer updated software.

NOTE: For more detailed information about AirBEAM, refer to the AirBEAM ® Smart

Windows ® CE Client Product Reference Guide.

181



AirBEAM Package Builder

In a typical distributed AirBEAM system, software to be transferred is organized into packages. In general, an AirBEAM package is simply a set of files that are assigned attributes both as an entire package and as individual component files. The package is assigned a version number and the transfer occurs when an updated version is available.

An AirBEAM package can optionally contain developer-specified logic to be used to install the package. Installation logic is typically used to update client device flash images or radio firmware. Examples of common AirBEAM packages would include packages for custom client application software, radio firmware and AirBEAM Smart Client software.

Once these packages are built, they are installed on the host server for retrieval by the handheld device. The AirBEAM Package Builder is a utility used to define, generate and install AirBEAM packages to a server. The packages are then loaded from the server onto a client device equipped with an AirBEAM Smart Client executable.

For detailed instructions on how to define, generate and install AirBEAM packages to the server, refer to the AirBEAM Package Builder Product Reference Guide .

AirBEAM Smart Client

The AirBEAM Smart Client is installed on the handheld vehicle computer. It is configured with the server access information, the names of the packages to be downloaded and other controlling parameters. When the AirBEAM Smart Client is launched, the device connects to the specified FTP server and checks the packages it is configured to look for.

If the package version was updated, the client requests the transfer.

AirBEAM License

The AirBEAM Smart Client is a licensed software product. The AirBEAM Smart Client's version synchronization functionality is enabled through a license key file that is stored on the client device. The license key file can be built into AirBEAM Smart Client's image, or downloaded in a special AirBEAM package.

The AirBEAM license key file contains a unique key and a customer specific banner that is displayed when the AirBEAM Smart Client version synchronization logic is invoked.

To open AirBEAM:

• Tap > AirBEAM .

Configuring the AirBEAM Smart Client

Using the Configure command you can set preference settings on how to use AirBEAM.

You can perform the following configuration options in AirBEAM:

• Specify the package name of the first four of eight packages that are to be loaded during the AirBEAM synchronization process. The specified package name must correspond to a package that is available on the specified package server.

Confirm - Updated packages are not automatically downloaded. This value behaves the same as the Launch value, except that the user is required to confirm an additional prompt before the download starts.

Synchronizing with the Server

When the synchronization process is initiated, the AirBEAM Smart Client attempts to open an FTP session using the AirBEAM Smart Client configuration. Once connected, the client processes the specified packages. Packages are loaded only if the server version of a given package is different from the version loaded on the client. Once the upload process is complete, the AirBEAM Smart Client closes the FTP session with the server.

The AirBEAM Smart Client can launch an FTP session with the server either manually, when initiated by the user, or automatically.

AirBEAM Staging

The AirBEAM Smart staging support is intended to speed up and simplify the process of staging custom or updated operating software onto mobile devices directly from manufacturing. The staging support is part of the AirBEAM Smart CE Client that is integrated into the vehicle computer.

The AirBEAM Smart support works by defaulting the AirBEAM Client configuration to a known set of values and launching the AirBEAM Smart package download logic. A staging environment, including an RF network, FTP server and AirBEAM packages must be setup. Ideally a staging network and server should be setup to match the default

AirBEAM Staging client configuration.

The AirBEAM Smart staging utility is invoked from the Application directory (tap ,

Programs > File Explorer > My Device icon > Windows ).

The AirBEAM Staging support provides several benefits:

• Many devices can be simultaneously loaded over the RF network.

• The AirBEAM staging utility provides a simple single dialog user interface that is used to quickly start the software installation process.

Rapid Deployment Client

The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to an MC35 from a Mobility Services Platform (MSP) Console’s FTP server. The MSP

Console is a web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.

When software packages are transferred to the FTP server, the MC35 on the wireless network can download them. The location of software packages are encoded in RD bar codes. When the MC35 captures a bar code(s), the software package(s) is downloaded from the FTP server to the MC35. A single RD bar code can be captured by multiple

MC35s.

NOTE: For detailed information about the MSP Console, MSP Lite/MSP Enterprise servers and creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP User Guide.

Rapid Deployment Window

The Rapid Deployment window displays bar code capture status and provides features for resetting and exiting the application.

To open Rapid Deployment window:

• Tap > RDClient .

190

The Rapid Deployment screen include the following parameters:

• Please capture all of the bar codes - Displays the status of a captured bar code.

• Waiting - indicates the MC35 is ready to capture a bar code.

• OK - indicates the MC35 successfully captured a bar code. (The Indicator

LED bar on the wearable terminal turns green and a beep sounds).

If there are no bar codes left to capture, the Rapid Deployment

Configuring window displays.

• Bar codes left to scan... - Displays a list of any remaining bar codes to capture (1-D bar codes only). When all required bar codes are captured successfully, the Rapid Deployment Configuring window displays.

• About - Displays the Rapid Deployment Client Info window.

• Reset - Removes any previously captured data.

• Exit - Closes the application. A confirmation window displays. Select

Yes to exit or No to return to the Rapid Deployment window.

NOTE: If the application is exited prior to capturing all required bar codes, any captured data collected up to that point is lost.



Capturing RD Bar Codes

When the MC35 captures and successfully decodes a single or multiple RD bar codes, the data encoded in the bar code can:

• Reset the MC35’s connection profile. A connection profile is a set of

Wireless Application parameters that the MC35 uses to access the wireless network.

• Initiate downloads of one or more software packages from an FTP server to the MC35.

NOTE:

Currently, RD only recognizes AirBEAM software packages. See “AirBEAM

Smart” on page 181 for more information.

To capture an RD bar code:

1 Obtain the appropriate RD bar code(s) from the MSP Administrator.

2 Launch the RD application on the MC35. The Rapid Deployment window displays.

3 Capture the appropriate bar code(s) to complete the configuration and/or download.

(a) A PDF417 bar code (2-D bar code) can contain all download data in a single bar code. In this case, only one bar code may be required to capture.

(b) Multi-part linear bar codes (1-D bar codes) can require capturing several bar codes. Bar codes can be captured in any order. The text box under Bar codes left to scan...

shows the remaining bar codes to capture.

4 After all appropriate bar codes are captured successfully, the MC35 connects to the server and the Rapid Deployment Configuring window displays while network settings are configured.

NOTE: If the MC35 cannot connect to the server, it continues to retry until the user cancels (exits) the application. If failure to connect to the server persists, see the MSP

Administrator.

5 When configuration is complete:

(a) The Today screen displays.

(b) A new Wireless profile is created on the MC35 from the data encoded in the bar code(s) captured.

(c) The designated package(s) are downloaded from the FTP server.

Resetting your MC35

You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to the buttons on the screen).

To perform a soft reset:

A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This restarts your device and adjusts memory allocation. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may in some cases be lost.

1 Remove the stylus from its holder.

218

2 Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located on the lower-left side of the device.

To perform a hard reset:

A hard reset removes power to your device. This erases all records and entries, deletes all additional programs you have installed, and restores the device’s default factory settings. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem.

When you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a storage card.

NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the date and time settings are not retained.

Formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to their default factory settings.

1 Hold down the Power Push to Talk buttons.

2 While holding down the Power and Push to Talk buttons, gently press the tip of the stylus to the Reset button.
