Warning!

Handling the Rugged PDA

Stop using the Rugged PDA and turn it off in

places where its operation is prohibited.

The effects of electromagnetic radiation may

result in an accident.

Should the Rugged PDA malfunction, start to

emit smoke or a strange odor, or otherwise

behave abnormally, immediately shut down the

power, remove the battery pack, and unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Contin-

ued use creates the danger of fire and electric

shock.

❒Contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO dis-

tributor.

Do not place containers of liquids near the

Rugged PDA and do not allow any foreign

matter to get into it. Should water or other for-

eign matter get into the Rugged PDA, imme-

diately shut down the power and unplug the

AC adaptor from the power outlet. Continued

use creates the danger of shorting, fire and

electric shock.

❒Contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO dis-

tributor.

Never bring in the Rugged PDA a bathroom

or any other location where the possibility of

splashing or high humidity exists. Use of the

Rugged PDA in such an area creates the dan-

ger of electric shock. Be especially carefully

when using the Rugged PDA while rain or

snow is falling, or in beach areas.

Never try to take the Rugged PDA apart or

modify it in any way.Doing so creates the dan-

ger of fire and electric shock.

❒Contact your authorized CASIO distributor for repair

and maintenance.

Warning!

Should you drop the Rugged PDA and dam-

age it, immediately shut down the power and

unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

Continued use creates the danger of shorting,

fire and electric shock.

❒Attempting to repair the Rugged PDA yourself is ex-

tremely dangerous. Contact your authorized CASIO

distributor for repair and maintenance.

The liquid inside the LCD is harmful to humans.

Never touch it or allow it to get in your mouth.

❒Should liquid from the LCD panel accidentally get

into your mouth immediately wash out your mouth

with clean water. If it gets onto your skin, immedi-

ately rinse for at least 15 minutes with clean tap water.

In either case, consult a physician.

Should lightning strike nearby, stop using the

Rugged PDA, and disconnect the modular

cable or the power cord from the power outlet.

Continued use creates the danger of electric

shock or damage.

Power Plug and AC Adaptor

AC cord plug and wall outlet illustrated in this User's Guide show

the two-pin plug type. It may not be the same shape of AC cord plug

used in your area.

Use only a proper AC electric outlet

(100V~240V) when powering the Rugged PDA

with the AC adaptor. Use of an outlet with a

different voltage from the rating creates the

danger of malfunction, fire, and electric shock.

Overloading an electric outlet creates the dan-

ger of overheating and fire.

Warning!

Do not place bedding materials on top of the

AC adaptor while it is on or place the Rugged

PDA on heated flooring or near other heating

apparatus during charging.

Doing so might cause it to deform, or result in

a fire or malfunction.

Make sure the power plug and AC adaptor plug

are inserted as far as they will go. Loose plugs

create the danger of electric shock, overheat-

ing, and fire.

❒Do not use the adaptor if the plug is damaged. Never

connect to a power outlet that is loose.

Use a dry cloth to periodically wipe off any dust

built up on the prongs of the plug. Humidity

can cause poor insulation and create the dan-

ger of electric shock and fire if dust stays on

the prongs.

Do not allow the power cord or plug to become

damaged, and never try to modify them in any

way. Continued use of a damaged power cord

can cause deterioration of the insulation, ex-

posure of internal wiring, and shorting, which

creates the danger of electric shock and fire.

❒Contact your authorized CASIO distributor whenever

the power cord or plug requires repair or maintenance.

Use only the AC adaptor specified by CASIO

for this product. Use of other type of AC adap-

tor creates the danger of fire.

Warning!

Battery Pack

Use only the battery pack that comes with the

Rugged PDA. When the battery pack reaches

the end of its life, replace it with a new battery

pack as specified by CASIO. Other types of

the battery pack have different voltage rating

and polarity, which creates the danger of fire

and bursting of the batteries.

Battery

(included)

Never try to take the battery pack apart or

modify it in any way.Doing so creates the dan-

ger of overheating, fire, and bursting of the

battery pack.

Never throw the battery pack into fire or other-

wise expose it to direct flame. Doing so cre-

ates the danger of fire and explosion.

Never allow the positive (+) and negative (-)

poles of the battery to become connected by

metal. Do not store or transport the battery

pack together with metal necklaces, hairpins,

or other metal items. Connection of the bat-

tery pack poles creates the danger of over-

heating, fire, and explosion.

❒When transporting or storing the battery pack, wrap it

in plastic to keep the poles away from metal items

that might cause a short.

If the amount of time period the battery pack

can serve becomes considerably short, stop

using it. It may indicate the possibility of a

malfunction in the battery pack. Continued

charging the battery pack creates the danger

of heat emission, explosion, and fire.

cord from the power outlet before cleaning

the Rugged PDA. Cleaning the Rugged

PDA with the power on creates the danger

of electric shock.

• Clean the Rugged PDA by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. If the Rugged PDA is very

dirty, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with a weak solution of water and

a mild neutral detergent. Wring out all excess of moisture before wiping.

• Thinner, benzene, or other organic agents can cause deformation or discoloration of

the Rugged PDA's case, and even malfunction of the Rugged PDA. Never use such

agents when cleaning.

• Use only the stylus accompanied with the Rugged PDA (or specified by CASIO) for

inputting on the LCD screen. Before using the stylus, remove any dirt from the tip of

it and on the screen. Dirt if any may make an input with the stylus more difficult or

damage on the screen. Also take care that you do not misplace or lose the stylus.

• Clean the Rugged PDA's LCD screen by wiping it with a soft, clean cloth. Never use

water, neutral detergents, or chemically treated cloths to clean the screen. A dirty

screen can interfere with response to stylus operations, and smooth movement of the

stylus tip. The screen is easily scratched, so take care that you do not apply to much

pressure when cleaning it.

Maintenance

Never remove the Rugged PDA's outer

cover or otherwise try to take it apart or

modify it in any way. High voltage inside

the case creates the danger of electric

shock.

In the following instances, immediately shut down the power, remove the battery pack,

unplug the power plug from the power outlet, and contact your original dealer or autho-

rized CASIO distributor:

• Damaged power cord or plug

• Liquid leaking from the Rugged PDA

• Unit being dropped

• Damaged unit cover

• Very abnormal function

Never try to make any adjustments except as specifically instructed by this User's Guide.

Improper adjustment or modification on the Rugged PDA can permanently damage it

and make it impossible to restore normal operation.

Never attempt to repair or modify this product in any way.

Storage

Follow the procedure below to put the Rugged PDA into storage.

If you have used the Rugged PDA for a long period, it will have

become dusty.We recommend cleaning it before putting it into stor-

age.You can find information about cleaning in the previous section

“Maintenance and Care.”

Back up all the data on the Rugged PDA to a computer if it is neces-

sary.

Turn off the power, remove all cables and remove the Rugged PDA

from the Basic Cradle and AC adaptor.

Remove the battery pack and insulate the battery pack terminals with

cellophane tape when you store it.

Carefully package the Rugged PDA so it does not get dirty or dam-

aged. The box that the Rugged PDA originally came in is a good box

into which it can be packed.

Consumables

The following items are consumables.

You will need to inform your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor of the

model number of your unit when purchasing the stylus and battery pack.

Stylus

• Purchase a new stylus whenever the tip of your stylus becomes damaged.

Battery Pack

• Long use of the battery pack causes it to deteriorate and lose its ability to recharge. If

you feel your battery pack is not providing enough operating time, it may be time to

contact your dealer or authorized CASIO distributor about purchasing a new one.

The Rugged PDA includes components that have a limited service life (LCD, etc.).

Such components require replacement after very long use.

Power Supply

The Rugged PDA uses an AC adaptor to connect to an outside power source or to

recharge the batteries. Attach the battery pack and charge the Rugged PDA's battery

until it is full to do the initial setup when using it for the first time or after not using it for a

long period, and when the battery is low.

Caution!

Use the battery pack provided or a battery pack specified

by the manufacture. Using a battery pack that is not

specified by the manufacturer may cause a fire.

Battery Pack

The Rugged PDA operates on a battery pack (lithium-ion battery) as its main

battery, and has an internal backup battery to protect its memory when removing

the battery pack. Note the following points when using the Rugged PDA.

Important! Read This Information!

• Turn off the Rugged PDA before replacing batteries.

• When the battery discharges beyond a set level, "Main battery remaining

capacity low" or "Backup battery remaining capacity low" message appears. If

this kind of messages appears, immediately charge either the battery pack or

the backup battery depending on the displayed message.

• The "Main battery remaining capacity low" message's title bar can be shown in

either blue when the remaining capacity is 30% or less or red when the remain-

ing capacity is 10% or less. Do not replace the battery pack when the "Backup

battery remaining capacity low" message appears. Data in the memory may be

lost if it is replaced while the message appears on the screen.

If the Rugged PDA with the battery pack being discharged has been

left over for a long period, or if the battery pack is replaced incorrectly,

data in the memory may be lost accidentally.We recommend backing

up data in the memory to other memory device, such as the hard disk

of a computer or a memory card. Refer to Help for ActiveSync for

information about how to back up data to a computer.

•

The internal backup battery can maintain the data in the memory

for up to 30 minutes (if the backup battery is full) when the battery

pack is removed. If the backup battery is being discharged, the

data in the memory may be lost, it is best to attach or remove the

battery pack quickly.

After removing the battery pack, cover the positive and negative

terminals with cellophane tape or something similar so they are

insulated before storing it.

Power Supply 35

Charging the Battery Pack

The AC adaptor is used not only to supply power from the AC power outlet but

also to charge the battery pack. The battery pack is also charged while the

Rugged PDA is in use (power is on) if the AC adaptor (provided) is connected with

the battery pack inserted in the Rugged PDA.

A warning label like the one shown below is affixed to the battery pack. This

warning label is intended to make you aware of possible dangers that you should

always keep in mind whenever handling the battery pack.

DANGER!

• Never dispose of the battery by incineration and

HA-C21BA

never expose it to heat.

• Never try to take the battery apart or otherwise try to

modify it.

• Never allow (+) and (-) battery terminate to become

shorted. For details, refer to Hardware Manual.

• Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is between

0˚C to 40˚C. Charging the battery in an extremely cold location or in

direct sunlight causes the battery to deteriorate or to leak fluid.

• If the battery is correctly charged, but the Rugged PDA operates for

only a short time, the battery pack may have reached the end of its

service life. If this happens, you need a new one to replace with the

run-down battery pack.

• The battery pack may become warm while it is being charged or be-

ing used.This is normal for the battery pack and is not a malfunction.

The internal backup battery and the battery pack (main battery) have

low capacity remained at time of purchase. Fully charge the batteries

before using the Rugged PDA for the first time.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Charging the Battery with the AC Adaptor

Pull back the rubber cover from the AC adaptor jack and insert the cable. The

battery pack takes about 5 hours (when the Rugged PDA is turned off) to fully

charge, and then the left side indicator LED lights green. Under the same condi-

tions, the built in backup battery takes four hours to fully charge.

Warning!

Use the AC adaptor specified by CASIO. Using the AC

adaptor that is not specified may cause a fire.

Remove the AC adaptor cable in the following order q ➔ w ➔ e.

When the battery pack is fully

charged, remove the AC adaptor

cable and be sure to replace the

rubber cover to its original position.

If the left side indicator LED goes out during charging, then the internal protection

circuit may have terminated charging. If this happens, remove the AC adaptor and

the battery pack from the Rugged PDA and then reattach them again and then

start charging again. If this happens frequently it may indicate a malfunction,

contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor.

• You can use the Rugged PDA while it is charging. However, the time

to charge the Rugged PDA may vary greatly depending on the opera-

tions performed on the Rugged PDA (and the surrounding tempera-

ture or other factors).

• Charging requires a longer than normal time when doing initial setup

after purchase or when charging a newly purchased battery pack for

the first time.

Power Supply 37

Checking Remaining Battery Power

• You can check the remaining power level in the batteries on the "Power" screen.

The battery loses power slowly even if the Rugged PDA is not being used. The

battery may lose all power if the Rugged PDA is stored for a long period of time.

We recommend checking the power level in the battery from time to time.

• Tap the

➔ Settings ➔ System ➔

Power icons, in that order, to display the

screen on the left.

Check the remaining battery power while the Rugged PDA is not connected to

the AC adaptor.

• When the battery discharges beyond a certain level, an icon(status icon)

indicating each battery's remaining capacity appears in the navigation bar.

Status Icon (See page 45)

Even if you are not using the Rugged PDA you should charge the

batteries once every two weeks to prevent them from deteriorating.

Using the AC Adaptor

The battery attached to the Rugged PDA charges when the AC adaptor is at-

tached. Besides charging the battery pack with the AC adaptor, we recommend

attaching the AC adaptor to the Rugged PDA when performing one of the follow-

ing operations that consume power from the battery pack.

• When using the Rugged PDA hooked up to a computer.

• When operating wireless LAN on the Rugged PDA.

• When using the Rugged PDA with a compact flash card (especially when

backing up data on the Rugged PDA to the card).

Warning!

Use the AC adaptor specified by CASIO. Using the AC

adaptor that is not specified may cause a fire.

• Be careful not to trip on the AC adaptor's power cord.

• Hold the Rugged PDA's power cord by the connector (not the cable)

and pull it straight out of the power adaptor jack.

• Dust may collect on the AC adaptor's power cord if it is plugged into

an electric power socket for a long time. Clean off the dust periodi-

cally.

you can use the pop-up menu in the contact list to quickly delete a contact, make

a copy of a contact, or send an e-mail message to a contact. The actions in the

pop-up menus vary from program to program. To access a pop-up menu, tap and

hold the stylus on the item name that you want to perform the action on. When the

menu appears, lift the stylus, and tap the action you want to perform. Or tap

anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without performing an action.

The Rugged PDA reminds you in a variety of ways when you have something to

do. For example, if you've set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due

date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you'll be notified in any of the following ways:

• A message box appears on the screen.

• A sound, which you can specify, is played.

• A light flashes on the Rugged PDA.

• The device vibrates.

To choose reminder types and sounds for the Rugged PDA, tap

and then

Settings. In the System tab, tap Sounds & Notifications. The options you

choose here apply throughout the Rugged PDA.

Enter Information on the Rugged PDA

You have several options for entering new information:

• Use the input panel to enter typed text, either by using the soft keyboard or

other input method.

• Write directly on the screen.

• Draw pictures on the screen.

• Speak into the Rugged PDA microphone to record a message.

Use Microsoft^®ActiveSync^®to synchronize or copy information from your desktop

computer to the Rugged PDA. For more information on ActiveSync, see

ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.

Entering Text Using the Input Panel

Use the input panel to enter information in any program on the Rugged PDA. You

When you use the input panel, the Rugged PDA anticipates the word you are

typing or writing and displays it above the input panel. When you tap the dis-

played word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use

the Rugged PDA, the more words it learns to anticipate.

Word Completion options:

The Rugged PDA intelligently will attempt to guess at or predict the full word that

you're entering by doing a dictionary lookup. When you purchase the Rugged

PDA, a default set of words is installed. However, as you begin using the Rugged

PDA and begin using words not in that dictionary, they are automatically added to

a custom user dictionary that is also searched by the word completion feature. To

change how word completion works, select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area

and tap Options. Tap the Word Completion tab.

These options allow you to turn word completion on or off, allow you to adjust at

what point the full word should be predicted, and whether or not text should be

replaced while you type.

To type with the soft keyboard:

Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard.

On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus.

The soft keyboard can be used in two modes: large and small. Large mode gives

the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; small mode gives

you special commands like backspace and forward space in the form of on-

screen keys rather than stylus-based gestures.

By default, small keyboard with on-screen special commands is provided. This

looks much like a standard QWERTY keyboard found on your desktop PC.

Here is the large keyboard without gestures enabled. Notice the absence of

numerical keys.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the

Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write

directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format

what you've written and convert the information to text at a later time.

To write on the screen:

• Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the

screen to help you write.

Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button.

See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to

writing mode.

To select writing:

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again. You

can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging

the stylus across the screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed

text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the

pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.

To convert writing to text:

• Tap Tools and then Recognize.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize

on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recog-

nize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alter-

nates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word

(tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a

list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at

the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tips for getting good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t"

and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word

above. Write periods and commas above the line.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools

menu.

Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that

the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents,

and some punctuation cannot be converted.

• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after

you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if

you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the Screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The

difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and

how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while

writing cannot.

To create a drawing:

• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent

strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings

that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily

work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom

level.

To select a drawing:

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.

• Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To

select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the

drawings you want.

You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the

selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or

by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the

Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

Support for Clip-on Keyboards

The Rugged PDA works to make your computing session more productive when

you've installed a snap-on keyboard on the Rugged PDA. Not only does entering

text become much faster with a physical keyboard, but a large number of standard

keyboard shortcut commands (like CTRL+C, copy; CTRL+Z, undo; CTRL+V, paste;

etc.) are just a few easy clicks away. Additionally, most the Rugged PDA applica-

tions built for the latest operating system now support keyboard mnemonics, mean-

ing menu items are accessible without ever needing to use the stylus on the screen.

Consider the above pop-up menu from the Notes application. As you can see, by

merely tapping the "R" key on the keyboard, any selected text will be recognized.

No need to use the stylus! Keyboard support will allow you to keep one hand free to

perform other tasks.

capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Cal-

endar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the

Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone recording or include a record-

ing in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note

first. In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.

Bluetooth^®

Bluetooth^®is wireless communication technology that uses the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz

band to transfer data. The Rugged PDA comes with Bluetooth^®technology built in, which

provides it with the capability of performing high-speed, high-stability short-range wireless

communication.

Two Rugged PDAs with Bluetooth^®intehrated do not need to be aligned with each other in

order to connect.

When Bluetooth^®is turned on, two Rugged PDAs that are within three meters distance of

each other will be able to perform the following types of data send and receive opera-

tions.

• Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, etc. exchange

• File transfer

• Connection to a Bluetooth^®wireless LAN

• Connection with another Bluetooth^®device

Important Precautions

The radio waves emitted by a Bluetooth^®device can affect the operation of

medical equipment, etc. In some cases, this can even lead to a serious

accident. To prevent this, turn off either the Rugged PDA or the Bluetooth^®

functions in the areas described below. In hospital, train, aircraft, in gasoline

station or any other area where flammable gas is generated, near automatic

door, or fire alarm devices.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication

Note the following information, which can help you ensure successful Bluetooth^®

data communication.

• Make sure the Rugged PDA is visible from and within about 3 meters of the

other Bluetooth^®devices. The communication range may be shorter depend-

ing on the local environment (if there are walls and furniture in the path, or

radio wave is emitted by other Bluetooth^®device, etc.), and the structure of

the building where you are located.

Ferroconcrete structures in particular can cause problems, because iron

reinforcements between floors and in walls can make communication

impossible. Perform data communication at least two meters from other

devices (electric appliances, AV equipment, office equipment, digital

cordless telephones, facsimiles, etc.) Microwave ovens in particular can

cause problems, so the distance should be increased to at least three

meters. Turning on the power of another device that is too close can interfere

with proper communication, TV and radio interference, and reception

interference (in particular, distortion of certain UHF or broadcast satellite

channel TV images). If proper communication is not possible in the vicinity of

a transmitter, wireless device, or other device, move to another location. Very

strong radio waves in the area can make proper communication impossible.

Wireless LAN Radio Interference

Since Bluetooth^®devices and wireless LANs (IEEEE802.11b/g) use the same

frequency band, using the Rugged PDA in the vicinity of a wireless LAN enabled

device can generate radio interference, which can result in slower communication

speeds and even make connection impossible. If this happens, take the following

steps.

• Move the Rugged PDA so it is at least 10 meters from the wireless LAN enabled

device.

• If you must use one of the two devices within 10 meters of the other, turn off

either the Rugged PDA or the wireless LAN.

The Bluetooth Version 1.2 built into the Rugged PDA allows simulta-

neous use of wireless LAN and Bluetooth communication. However,

communication may not be possible due to the surrounding electro-

magnetic fields.

Bluetooth

Wireless LAN

The IT-10M20BR* supports connection to an 802.11b wireless LAN, or to a wireless LAN

compatible peripheral. For example, you could connect to a hot spot at a train station or

other public facility, access the Internet and send or receive e-mail, or access a company

network. See "Tips to Help Ensure Successful Communication" on page 95 for more

information.

Using a Wireless Communication

Warning

• The use of wireless communication devices and electronic

devices in aircraft is recommended to consult first with flight

attendant prior to the use.

• Do not use wireless communication devices in the vicinity of

automatic doors, fire alarm devices, or other automatic control

equipment. Radio waves from wireless communication devices

can cause mis-operation of the equipment, leading to serious

accident.

This wireless transmitter uses the 2.4GHz band. It employs the DS-

SS modulation system and has an interfering range of 40m.

You need to turn on wireless LAN in order to use it. On the Rugged PDA, tap

Settings ➔ System. On the CF Power tab, select the W-LAN Power

Enable check box. After that, you will need to start up Pegasus Settings and

configure network settings required for connection.

If the system is operational and the communication mode is

entered successfully, the LINE (system indicator) lamp will light

green.

When communication starts, the DATA (communication indicator)

lamp will flash green while data communication is being per-

formed.

The Rugged PDA is charged while it is mounted on the Bridge Satellite Cradle,

regardless of whether the power on the Rugged PDA is off or on.

When charging starts, the left side of the indicator lamp on the top of the

Rugged PDA lights amber. The indicator lamp changes to green when charging

is complete.

The infrared communication function uses a high-sensitivity commu-

nication element. To ensure proper communication, avoid using de-

vices that generate radio waves (cellular phones, etc.) in the vicinity

of the Rugged PDA while communication is in progress.

Make sure the power contacts of the Bridge Satellite Cradle do not

become wet. Moisture can cause shorts, which create the risk of fire

and serious accident.

Linking Multiple Bridge Satellite Cradles

The C-OUT port of the Bridge Satellite Cradle that is connected to the PC can be

connected to the C-IN port of another Bridge Satellite Cradle using the optional

daisy chain connection cable (DT-888RSC).

You can daisy chain up to eight Bridge Satellite Cradles.

The RS-232C port and

USB port cannot be used

simultaneously.

Do not connect to a telephone line.

Never connect the wrong type of cable (telephone modular cable,

etc.) to the C-OUT and C-IN ports. Improper connection can damage

the connector and cause malfunction.

Handling Precautions

Battery Charger

• Water or any other liquid on the power contacts creates the risk of electric shock

and fire. Dirt causes poor contact and decreases charging efficiency. After

unplugging the AC adaptor from the battery charger to ensure safety, wipe the

power contacts with a dry cloth, cotton swab, etc.

• A battery pack in the charger may become warm. This is normal.

• Do not place anything on top of the battery charger while charging is in progress.

• Do not remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC adaptor while charging is

in progress.

• Repeated loading and unloading of a battery pack can cause it to deteriorate.

Battery Pack

• A battery pack is not charged when you purchase it. Before using a new battery

pack or one that you have not used for a very long time, fully charge it first.

• A battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of operation you get from the

battery pack after charging it is very short or if the battery pack does not recover

no matter how many times you charge it, it probably means that the battery pack

has reached the end of its life. Replace the battery pack with a new one.

Connecting Dual Battery Chargers Together

You can connect up to three battery chargers together for simultaneous charging

of six battery packs. You need only one AC adaptor, even if you have multiple

battery chargers connected together. Do not connect more than three battery

chargers together.

Use a screwdriver or a

similar tool to remove the

connection terminal covers.

Do not use the stylus.

Positioning the battery

chargers in the same

direction, insert the male

connector of one into the

female connector of the

other.

114

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Turn over the battery chargers, and secure them together with the

coupling plate and screws that come with the chargers.

Charging a Battery Pack

The optional AC adaptor (AD-S42120AE) is used to supply power to the battery

charger.

A battery pack can be inserted into either of the slots, or two battery packs can be

charged at the same time.

Connect the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor port of the battery charger.

Insert a battery pack into the battery charger.

Note that a battery pack must be oriented correctly when you insert it into

the battery charger. Orienting the battery pack as indicated by the

illustration on the battery charger, make sure its power terminals are

positioned correctly as you insert it straight down into the battery charger.

The charge status indicator lamp will light red, indicating that charging

has started.

A green flashing charge status indicator lamp while a battery pack is inserted in

the battery charger indicates charge standby. The indicator lamp will turn red and

charging will start when the ambient temperature returns to the range of 0˚ to 40˚C.

A green charge status indicator lamp indicates that charging is complete. Remove

the battery pack from the battery charger.

The time required for charging depends on whether you are charging one battery

pack or two battery packs per battery charger.

About two hours is required for a full charge when charging one battery pack per

charger, while about four hours is required for a full charge in the case of two

battery packs per charger.

If two battery packs are inserted into a single battery charger, it will take four hours

to charge the two battery packs fully. If two battery chargers are connected

together and one battery pack is inserted into each of the chargers, however, it will

take only about two hours to charge the two battery packs fully.

• If the charge status indicator lamp starts to flash red during charging,

immediately remove the battery pack(s) and check the following points.

a) Is the operating temperature in the range of 0˚C to 40˚C?

➔ Wait until the operating temperature is within the allowable range

and charge again.

b) Are the power contacts dirty or rusty?

➔ Wipe the power contacts with a dry cloth, etc.

c) Does the same thing continue to happen even if you move to another

location for charging?

➔ It could mean that the battery pack is defective.

Cards

Using a Compact Flash (CF) Card

The Rugged PDA supports use of Type I and Type II (3.3V) Compact Flash cards.

The following are the types of Compact Flash cards supported by the Rugged

PDA.

Memory Card

A memory card works the same way as the data storage memory of the Rugged

PDA. You can use a memory card to store files created with the Rugged PDA, and

install programs on a memory card. Since data stored on a memory card is

retained even when the card is removed from the Rugged PDA, a memory card

can be used to transfer data between the Rugged PDA and a PC or other devices,

or to backup the Rugged PDA data.

Modem Card

A modem card can be used to connect the Rugged PDA to a general telephone

line (household modular jack, public phone equipped with a modular jack, etc.)

LAN Card

A LAN card (Ethernet card) makes it possible to connect the Rugged PDA to an

Ethernet network.

Communication Card

A cell phone or PHS communication card provides data communication capabili-

ties using a cell phone or PHS circuit.

• Before using a modem, LAN, communication, or similar card, make

sure that the Rugged PDA's battery pack is charged sufficiently. Low

battery power during communication can cause unstable communi-

cation, loss of the data that is being used, and powering down of the

Rugged PDA.

• Never turn off power or remove a memory card from the Rugged PDA

while data is being written to or read from the card. Doing so can

damage the memory card or its data.

Accessing Files on a Memory Card

In order for the Rugged PDA's built-in programs to access files on a memory card,

a folder named "My Documents" must be created on the memory card (using File

Explorer), and the files to be accessed must be moved to the "My Documents"

folder. Note the following points.

• Create the "My Documents" folder in the top directory of the memory card. Do not

create it inside of any other folder. Use single-byte characters to input the "My

Documents" name, and be sure to include a single-byte space between the words

"My" and "Documents."

• Placing a file inside of the "My Documents" folder allows it to be opened by

various types of programs (Notes, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel). The programs

cannot open any file that is outside of the "My Documents" folder.

When there are memory cards loaded in both the CF card slot and

the SD card slot, applications and setting operations are able to ac-

cess only one card or the other (normally the first one that was loaded).

Loading and Removing a Compact Flash Card

Precautions when Loading and Removing Cards

• The card has a front and back, and it must be oriented correctly when loading it

into the card slot. Attempting to force the card while it is oriented incorrectly can

damage the connectors or the slot. Exercise care when loading a card.

• When inputting or editing data, it is recommended that you store any unsaved

data in main memory before loading or removing a card.

• In some cases, the Rugged PDA may not be able to recognize a card correctly

(indicated when programs cannot be started up using normal operations). If this

happens, try reloading the Compact Flash card, and then press the reset switch.

• Using an I/O card that consumes a large amount of the current while battery

power is low can cause the Rugged PDA to power down momentarily and then

power back up again immediately.
