• Portable Docking Module (PN 1030085) – charges the 7535 battery (with the battery installed in the unit).
• Combo Charger (Model #HU3002) – a desktop charger that charges the
7535 internal battery along with a spare battery pack.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Switching The 7535 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. When used as a docking station, it provides connectivity (10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface) to a host Ethernet network, primarily for batch data file transfers.
• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004) – can charge the battery of up to four 7535s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an
Ethernet connection.
• Powered Cradle – can charge the 7535 with the battery installed in the hand-held.
It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7535’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 55 for additional information about the 7535 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

Figure 3.4 58-Key And 36-Key Keyboard Layouts
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.
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.
38 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Activating Modifier Keys
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 7535 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.
3.4.2 The Keys
The <SHIFT> Key
The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters. A ‘locked’
<SHIFT> key (pressed twice) operates like the <CAPS LOCK> key on a desktop keyboard.
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.
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.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
The 58-Key Keyboard
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 either inoperable or can be remapped to another key function
(such as an <ENTER> key).
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. These keys are not used as part of the
Windows CE operating system. They can be custom defined for each application.
The Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard
Functions” on page 113 for details about Tekterm keys.
3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard
On 36-key 7535s, 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 36-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.
40 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

50 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Warnings
3.7.1 Warnings
For your own safety, it is critical that you comply with the following warnings:
1. Do not look into the laser beam or point the beam at people or animals.
2. CAUTION – Using controls or adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
3. CAUTION – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
4. This product contains a laser scanner that emits less than 1.0 mW average radiant power at a wavelength of 650 or 680 nm. This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and DIN EN
60825: July 1993, and is classified as a Class 2 laser product. The
SE12xxALR has an average radiated power of 1.5 mW.
3.7.2 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 2D 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.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 51
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
Scan LED Indicators
3.7.3 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.
3.7.4 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Is the 7535 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 7535.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.

Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners
3.7.5 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners
• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Important: 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” on page 136 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.
3.7.6 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
• Turn the 7535 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.
3.7.7 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 7535 will be decoded successfully.
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.
• 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.
Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535
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.

Under normal operating conditions, the battery lasts for a full 8-hour shift. 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.

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 7535 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 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.

Monitoring The Network Connection
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 System 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 radio quality dialogue box.
If you have a touchscreen:
• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the radio quality 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.
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 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 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 1010029). 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.
Note: If the environment is excessively harsh, consider using a tempered glass version of the 7535.
3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535
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.
