Introduction
The XP Series from Janam Technologies is the world’s first fully-featured, Palm OS®-based, rugged,
barcode scanning mobile computer. Purpose-built for maximum performance, the XP Series delivers the
benefits of Palm OS Garnet with the advanced technologies that industrial applications demand.
About the Janam XP20 Series
Janam designed the XP20 Series to execute mission-critical data collection tasks in the enterprise. Every
element of the product’s form and function has a purpose. For example, the XP20 Series’ custom, bright-
white, monochrome display was created because it offers the same 160x160 screen resolution as legacy
Palm OS products, thereby facilitating application migration across hardware platforms. Yet the XP20
Series also delivers significant improvements over legacy Palm OS products, each one aimed at extending
the product’s reach into the enterprise. These include a numeric keypad, 2D barcode scanning, permanent
memory backup of applications and data, keypad backlighting, user-accessible mini-SD slot, latest WLAN
security, extra capacity battery and more.

Garnet OS expands the solid foundation of Palm OS 5 by incorporating standard support for a broad range
of screen resolutions and expanded support for wireless connections. It also includes enhanced multimedia
capabilities, a suite of robust security options and support for a broad set of languages.

2. Thread the Velcro part of the strap through the loop at the bottom of the terminal and pull tight.
Install the battery
1. To access the battery compartment, turn the locking-screw counterclockwise to open the latch and
remove battery cover.
2. Position the battery lift strap against the back of battery well, ensuring tab extension is on left side.
3. Place the Janam Lithium-ion rechargeable battery in and snap into place.
4. Replace the battery cover by positioning the top prongs first and sliding into place. Tighten locking-
screw by turning clockwise.
To charge the battery:
Important Note: The main battery charges the backup battery in the XP20. Once the main battery is
fully charged, do not remove it from the unit for 24 hours. If removed during this period, the device
cannot maintain any user data if the battery is removed.
To charge the battery using the USB syncing/charging cable or serial charging cable:
1. Connect the power supply to the USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable.
2. Connect snap-on end of USB syncing/charging cable or serial/syncing charging cable to bottom of
XP20 making sure the word TOP on the connector faces front.
3. Insert country-specific AC plug and plug in the power supply.
To charge the battery using the single-slot or four-slot cradle:
1. Connect the power supply to the cradle.
2. Connect the line cord to the appropriate power supply.
3. Plug in the power supply.
4. Insert the XP20 into the cradle. Important: Proper insertion is required to ensure connection. Be
sure to insert the device as follows:
•
•
Place the XP20 in cradle well (seating the device without trying to join connectors).
Tilt-rotate the XP20 forward (bringing the top end of the unit forward) as you apply downward
pressure to fully insert in cradle well, joining connectors.
5. The LED will illuminate to confirm connection (orange indicates charging, green indicates fully charged
and red indicates fault).
6. The battery is fully charged in approximately two hours.
Remove the battery from spare battery charging well
Do not force-pull the battery from charging well. Follow these instructions to remove the battery:
1. Position hand with index finger at position A and thumb at position B (reverse for left-hand).
2. While gently holding down with thumb, slip index finger down against the battery so that you feel the
edge where the battery meets the cradle.
3. Press down and forward with index finger to lift battery edge.
Turn on the XP20
The first time the device is turned on, a Welcome Wtility appears. To set up the device, follow the on-screen
instructions, which include locating and using the stylus, screen calibration and date/time settings. To access
the welcome utility at a later time, go to the main or applications menu (home) and select the welcome
icon.
Note: If your XP20 came pre-loaded with a custom software application, the Welcome wtility may not
appear. If this happens, follow the on-screen instructions.

Reset the XP20
To soft reset:
In most situations, a soft reset will not impact data that has been stored on the device. However, any data
that has not been saved will be lost during a soft reset. To perform a soft reset, do the following:
1. Remove the battery door from the back of the unit.
2. Using the stylus, press the reset button (one time).
3. Replace the battery door.
To hard reset:
A hard reset returns the XP20 to factory settings, removing ALL applications and data from the device
(including the Hotsync ID name). Be sure that all data is backed up before performing a hard reset.
To perform a hard reset, do the following:
1. Remove the battery door from the back of the unit.
2. While holding down the on/off switch, use the stylus to press the reset button (once). Continue to
hold on/off switch at the end of the line.
3. After the reset has occurred and the Palm logo appears on the screen, release the on/off switch, and
the following message will appear:
Erase all data? To answer YES*: use “up” or down” arrows, or NO: use any other button.
*Note: If you select yes, all data and installed applications will be erased but factory settings remain.
IMPORTANT NOTE about battery door: XP20 mobile computers feature a battery door removal
detection switch. This is designed to protect against data loss if the battery is removed during data
collection or processing. The system will not fully operate when the battery cover is removed. As a result
of this feature, XP20 devices automatically create a safe state until the battery cover is secured, meaning
a device will power-down until the battery door is closed. It will then recall and resume from the user’s
most recent screen when the battery door is fully in place.
Power-down: Upon performing a reset, you may find that the device automatically powers-down shortly
after the reset begins to take. This is a normal function of the battery door removal detection switch; the
reset will hold. Simply secure the battery door and the XP20 device will resume activity at the last screen.
While there is no technical reason to rush to secure the battery door, you may avoid the power-down
activity by quickly securing the battery door.
Update your ROM
NOTE: ALL applications and data will be DELETED, so make sure you are properly backed up before
starting this process.
A. Check your current ROM version:
1. Select the memo pad application on the XP20.
2. Select new.
3. Write the symbols for shortcut dot 9 (shown at right) in the numeric section of the
graffiti pad.
4. Your unit’s ROM build date and time will be displayed. Write this down for reference.
B. Download the correct BIN file:

and password.)
2. Accept the terms and conditions, and go to PartnerZone.
3. Locate the BIN file for the XP20.
4. Click the arrow at right to begin download. Remember to store the BIN file in an easily accessible
location, like your desktop. You will need this file for the next section.

application.
•
Command buttons initiate a command when tapped. Command buttons appear in the dialog and at
the bottom of application screens.
•
•
Icons open applications and menus and find text anywhere in your data.

Menus on your handheld computer are easy to use, and work the same way in all applications. Menu bars
and manual commands differ based on the application and the area of the application in which you’re
working. For example, memo list screen and the memo screen display different menus.
Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti 2 command stroke, which is similar to keyboard
shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. To use Graffiti 2 menu commands, menus must be
closed.
To display a menu bar and choose a command, do one of the following:
•
•
•
Open an application (such as the date book); then tap the menu icon. Select the desired
command from the menu.
Tap the inverted tab at the top of any application’s screen (the calculator does not have an inverted
tab); then tap the desired command.

Learn to write Graffiti 2 characters
The Graffiti 2 demo shows how to use the handwriting software. The first time you
turn on your XP20, or perform a hard reset, the welcome application will
automatically guide you through the setup process. When you complete setup,
you will be invited to learn how to use your handwriting software.
After this process, the Graffiti 2 demo icon will appear with your other applications. Tap on this
icon to view the demo at any time.
TIP: When you reach the stroke lookup screen of the demo, use the pick list to
view the wide variety of characters that you can make.
General guidelines for Graffiti 2 writing
Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti 2 writing strokes successfully:
•
To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they
appear in the tables later in this chapter.
•
•
The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the stroke.
Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with multiple strokes.
-
For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the first stroke, to show that
the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is
shown. There is a limited time window during which the second stroke must be drawn. Otherwise
the temporary stroke is recorded.
To write Graffiti 2 letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want to write text.
•
NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear onscreen above the Graffiti 2 writing area before you can
begin writing text.
2. Use the tables to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to write.
•
For example, the stroke shown at right creates the letter n. You use the same
shape to create both the lowercase letter and the uppercase letter.
3. Position the stylus in the appropriate place of the text input area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the
tables.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
6. The letter displays at the insertion point onscreen. Lift the stylus from the screen to begin the next
stroke.

The Graffiti 2 alphabet
Graffiti 2 tips
ƒ For greater accuracy, draw letters
with large strokes; strokes that
nearly fill the text input area is
easily interpreted.
Draw Graffiti 2 letters according to the following alphabet.
ƒ To delete characters, set the
insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and
draw the backspace stroke (a line
from right to left) in the text input
area.
ƒ Write at natural speed. Writing
too slowly can produce errors.
ƒ Do not write at a slant. Keep
vertical strokes parallel to the
sides of the text input area.
ƒ Letters and numbers can be
written using two different
strokes.
ƒ Press firmly.
Write punctuation marks and other special characters
Using Graffiti 2 writing, you can create any punctuation symbol and special character available from a
standard keyboard.
•
Period and comma punctuation marks can be written on either side of the text input area (the letter or
number side).
•
Other common punctuation marks can be written on one side of the text input area according to the
chart below (in general, the more frequently used punctuation is on the left side).
•
Note: punctuation characters can also be entered anywhere on the text input area if you first use the
shift character. This requires an additional shift stroke.
To write letters with accent marks:
•
•
First write the letter stroke on the left side (in center for uppercase) of the input area.
Then quickly write the accent stroke on the right side of the input area.
TIP: To write uppercase accented characters, write the letter across the division mark, just as you would
do with an ordinary letter.

When the arrow goes away, the punctuation mark appears.
TIP: Using an additional shift stroke to finish writing the character (as shown in the demo) is optional but
will make the character appear more quickly.
TIP: Samples of the character strokes are available in the Graffiti 2 help file. To view the help file, use the
full-screen pen stroke, dragging the stylus from the text input area to the top of the screen.
Use the Graffiti 2 tuner
The Graffiti 2 tuner provides alternate strokes for making the T, P, Y, and $ characters. For example, you

Use the Attention Manager
Many applications (date book and clock) have some sort of alarm. Attention manager allows you to
conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place.
Insistent alarms
Insistent applications open a reminders dialog, and may play a sound, flash
an LED or vibrate, depending on your hardware configuration. Alarms
continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted,
you can tap anywhere on the dialog, or push any button to silence it.
Attention manager always open immediately when new insistent alarms are
posted.
To use the reminder dialog:
The reminder dialog has three buttons for responding to an alarm:
OK: Makes the reminder go away, with no further notification.
Snooze: Switches to the application that was running when the alarm went
off, and returns to the reminder dialog after five minutes. Go back to the reminder dialog right away by
tapping on the blinking indicator in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Go to: Switches to the application that created the alarm, and shows the record that caused the alarm,
although you may have to navigate within the application. There is no further notification.
To set alarm volume:
You control most alarm volumes globally in the general panel of the prefs
menu:
1. Tap the prefs icon in the applications launcher.
2. Tap the general pick list in the upper right corner of the dialog.
3. Set the volume using the alarm sound pick list. If your device has an
alarm or vibrate LED feature, turn these features on or off using their pick
lists in this menu.

To use the reminders list dialog:
The reminders dialog changes to a list of items that require your attention
under two insistent alarm conditions:
•
When a second application attempts to get your attention and the first has
not been dismissed or snoozed.
•
When a first application makes a second attempt and has not been
dismissed or snoozed.
o
o
Each listed reminder contains the date and time of the event.
Depending on the application displaying the reminder, you may see an
icon representing the application and up to two lines of text.
•
•
•
Tapping on the text or icon will “go to” that item and delete the event
from the reminders list dialog.
Tapping in the check box will clear that item. The attention manager will draw a line through the text
lines, pause for a moment and then remove the item from the list.
The reminders list dialog displays three buttons that are used to respond to all of the items in the list:
o
o
Snooze: Puts the reminders list dialog to sleep for five minutes.
Done: If the reminders list appeared because of more than one insistent alarm, tapping done
closes the reminders list dialog.
ƒ
If the reminders list appeared after you tapped the snooze button, tap the blinking alarm
indicator, then tap the done button and the reminder will continue to snooze.
o
Clear all: removes all of the items from the list, but does not close the reminders dialog. Tap this
button to erase a list of events that have passed
Subtle alarms
Some applications provide a visual and optionally audible indication, but do not otherwise disrupt your
workflow. Subtle alarms do not display a reminders dialog. Instead, a blinking indicator will flash in the
upper left corner of the title bar (of applications that allow it) when an alarm is present.
To understand the blinking alarm indicator:
The indicator appears in three different states:
•
•
Off: The indicator is not shown at all when the list is empty.
Blinking, two states: When the list is not empty but there are no
new items, then the “star” indicator will blink on and off until the
list has been emptied.
•
Blinking, three states: When a new subtle alarm is received, the
star will alternate flashing solid, exploded, then off, until you view
the new event.
Tapping on the indicator opens the attention manager in list mode, even if there is only one item.

Exchange and Update Data using HotSync®
HotSync technology lets you synchronize—exchange and update—data between one or more Janam
connected organizers and Palm Desktop using either a USB or serial cable. To synchronize data, you must
connect your Janam XP20 and Palm Desktop either directly, by placing your handheld computer in the
cradle attached to your computer or using infrared communications, or indirectly, with a modem or
network.
The first time you synchronize your data, you must enter user information on both the handheld computer
and Palm Desktop. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes
your handheld computer and doesn’t ask for this information again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handheld computers for a group of users, you may
want to create a user profile. See creating a user profile later in this chapter before performing the
following steps.
Perform the first local HotSync operation
You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct connection, rather than using a modem.
The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop.
To perform a local HotSync operation:
1. Insert your handheld computer into the cradle. The bottom edge of the handheld computer should
align smoothly with the cradle when it is inserted properly.
2. Connect the cradle to your computer using the appropriate cable.
3. On the Janam XP, tap applications > HotSync icon.
4. Tap local > cradle/cable.
•
Windows. On Windows, the HotSync Manager must be running for the HotSync operation to
proceed. If it is running, the HotSync icon appears in the Windows system tray. If the HotSync
Manager is not running, select the start button > programs > Palm Desktop program group
> palmOne Hotsync manager.
5. Press the HotSync button on the cradle.
6. Select local > cradle/cable.
NOTE: If you are using an optional HotSync cable instead of a cradle, tap the HotSync Manager icon in
the Windows system tray and select local from the menu.
7. Select the user name you entered when you installed Palm Desktop. The HotSync Progress dialog
appears and synchronization begins.
8. When the HotSync process is complete, a message appears, and you can remove your handheld
computer from the cradle.
Create a user profile
You can create a user profile to load data into a Janam XP20 without associating that data with a user
name. This feature lets system administrators configure several Janam handheld computers with
specific information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users. On
Windows, you use the file link feature of the Palm Desktop to import information from external files later
in this chapter. The user profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you
assign a user ID to a particular handheld computer.

IR HotSync operations
Your organizer is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the
standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means
that you can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations. You don’t need a
cradle to do this.
To prepare your computer for infrared communication:
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer you want to synchronize with
must meet the following requirements:
•
•
The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.
The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an enabled infrared device attached to
the computer.
Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical serial port. Laptops are
likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.
To check if your Windows 95 computer supports infrared communication:
1. Click start in the Windows taskbar.
2. Choose settings > control panel.
3. Find the infrared icon in the control panel.
If the icon is there, your computer is enabled for infrared communication. If it isn’t there, you need to
install an infrared driver. After you install the infrared driver or determine that the infrared driver is
already installed, check the ports used by your computer for infrared communication.

Conduct a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your handheld computer, but you should follow your modem
manufacturer’s guidelines for use.
Conduct a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity
available in many office environments. The network HotSync software lets you perform a HotSync
operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or
WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the network HotSync software
installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).
The network HotSync software requires the following:
•
•
Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your system
administrator has this information.)
You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an account, consult your system administrator.)

This product is marked with
in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the
R&TTE Directive, 1005/5/EC. The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its
authorization for use in France is restricted as follows.
PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402-2.480 GHz
Restrictions in France:
Indoor use:
Outdoor use:
Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the 2400-2483.5 MHz band.

Pacemakers, hearing aids and other electrically powered devices
Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires
devices to operate properly in an EM Field with strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to
1000MHz.
The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the XP20 is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of
the FCC rules. Therefore, the XP Series has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification.
Microwaves. The radio in the XP Series terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave
oven. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the XP20 you may notice performance
degradation in your wireless network. However, both your microwave and your wireless network will
continue to function. The XP Series batch devices do not contain a radio, and therefore, are not affected
by microwave ovens.
Care and cleaning of terminals
When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free
cloth. The terminal can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
