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.

The Rugged PDA and AC adaptor may become warm during  
use.  
• This is caused by the CPU operation or the current when the Rugged PDA's battery  
is charged. This is not malfunction. The heating value charges according to the con-  
dition of use.  
• When the Rugged PDA or theAC adaptor is warmer than usual, shut down the power,  
unplug the power cord of the AC adaptor and remove the battery pack. Contact your  
original dealer or authorized CASIO distributor.  
Do not continue operating the Rugged PDA until the battery  
completely discharges.  
• Doing so may result in loss of or damage to your data. Recharge the battery before it  
discharges completely.  
Use the stylus provided.  
• When writing on the screen, be sure to use only the stylus provided (or a similar  
product with a soft tip that is not sharp). Remove any dust or dirt from the screen and  
the tip of the stylus before writing on the screen. Dirt or dust makes it difficult to  
write on the screen and may scratch it.  
Avoid using the Rugged PDA in the following locations.  
• Places where there is a lot of dust.  
• Be careful when using the Rugged PDA in locations where the surrounding tempera-  
ture is extremely hot or cold, such as in a car in direct sunlight, in front of heater.

Maintenance and Care  
Normal care  
Shut down the power and unplug the power  
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.

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.”  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
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  
1
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.

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!  
T
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration and  
HA-C21A  
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.

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.  
1
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.  
q
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.  
w
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Infrared Communication  
Infrared Communication  
The Rugged PDA has an infrared communication port that can be used for IR  
transfer of data between two Rugged PDAs, or between the Rugged PDA and  
other type of Pocket PC. You can also use infrared communication to transfer data  
and perform data synchronization between the Rugged PDA and a PC.  
2
Infrared Communication port  
The information in this section covers infrared communication opera-  
tions between two Rugged PDAs only.  
For information about infrared communication to transfer or synchro-  
nize data between the Rugged PDA and a PC, see ActiveSync help.  
Transferring Data  
This section explains how to use infrared communication to transfer data between  
two Rugged PDAs. To transfer data, you will need to perform different operations  
respectively at the original and destination sides.  
Note that you cannot use infrared communication when the Rugged  
PDA is connected to a PC by cable. Before trying to perform infrared  
communication, first disconnect the cable from the Rugged PDA or  
remove the Rugged PDA from the Cradle.

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.

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.  
2
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.

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

Nothing happens when you tap the screen or press a button.  
The busy icon continues to rotate for a long time without stopping.  
"Reset" is the same thing as restarting a computer. Resetting the Rugged PDA will  
result in loss of any input or edited data that has not been saved yet, but saved  
data and settings are, as a rule, retained.  
Whenever possible, be sure to quit all programs (  
Settings  
System Memory Running Programs) before resetting.  
Though saved data is normally not lost when you reset the Rug-  
ged PDA, certain data abnormalities or other problems can cause  
all data to be cleared from memory. Whenever possible, it is rec-  
ommended that you back up data to a memory card or some other  
medium before resetting.

unchanged, and you should be able to access them normally.  
If reset does not restore normal the Rugged PDA operation, try per-  
forming a full reset (which will initialize memory).  
Full Reset (Memory Initialization)  
Performing a full reset initializes the Rugged PDA memory, causing all data stored  
in it to be lost, and returns all settings to their initial defaults.  
A full reset is required in the following cases.  
You want to clear the Rugged PDA memory and return to its initial default  
settings.  
You forgot your password and cannot access the Rugged PDA data.  
The Rugged PDA does not operate correctly due to a memory abnormality.  
After leaving the Rugged PDA without the battery pack installed for a few weeks,  
you reload the battery pack and want to use the Rugged PDA again.  
To Perform a Full Reset  
If there is a memory card loaded in the Rugged PDA, remove it before perform-  
ing the full reset.

Even if you back up data to a PC, do not restore the backed up  
data to the Rugged PDAafter performing the operation below. Data  
that is backed up while the Rugged PDA system is unstable can  
contain the elements that caused the instability. Restoring such data  
from the PC may cause symptoms of the system instability to re-  
surface.  
In order to avoid resurfacing of unstable system operation, use the  
following method to back up data on a PC, perform Calendar, Con-  
tacts, and other data synchronization to transfer the data to the PC.

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.  
1.  
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.

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.  
1.  
2.  
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.
