1.1 BATTERY
Main Battery 9600 TERMINAL is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/2700 mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge it. However, the charging time may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the TERMINAL can work for up to 10 hours.
Backup Battery The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.7 V/80 mAh rechargeable Lithium button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the system running in suspend mode for at least 24 hours without the main battery. In the meantime, you have to replace the main battery as soon as possible. Warning:
The battery cover must be in position; otherwise, the TERMINAL cannot turn on. For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road. 15 9600 Mobile Computer Reference Manual 1.1.1 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS The battery pack is the only power source for the TERMINAL to work. It also charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, you should backup important data on a regular basis. By looking at the battery icon, you can tell battery charge remaining in the main battery the higher the green level, the more power in the main battery. Double-tap a battery icon so that you can quickly access the [Power Properties] dialog box.

(2) If you wish to reload the default settings, delete the ReaderCfgINI.txt file in DiskOnChip or tap [Restore Defaults] on the General tab. 102 7.2 BARCODE READER SETTINGS Chapter 7 Using Reader Configuration Utility The barcode reader configurations depend on the scan engine(s) installed. You can tell which reader is currently in use and make necessary changes on the General tab. Barcode Reader CCD/Laser Reader Description If installed, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the reader settings for CCD or Laser scan engine.
Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix II - ! . 2D Reader The 2D scan engine is capable of reading linear and 2D barcodes. If installed, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the reader settings for 2D scan engine.
Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix III - !
. 7.3 RFID READER SETTINGS If the RFID scan engine is present, configurable options will be displayed. Note: Because it is possible to read barcode and RFID tag at the same time, it is recommended that only one scan engine is enabled at a time to prevent from misreading. 103 9600 Mobile Computer Reference Manual Some RFID tags support both read/write operations, on a page-by-page basis. You may find it necessary to define your own read/write operation. For reference only, the table below lists the start page for read/write operation on a number of RFID tags. Start Page
-1 Tag Type Start from byte 0 of the default page (see below) for all tags Standard 3 4 3 0 3 0 0 0 5 0 Mifare Ultralight SR176 ICODE SLI LRI512 SRF55VxxP EM4135 Tag-it HF-I Others ICODE Tag-it ISO 14443A ISO 14443B ISO 15693 ISO 15693 ISO 15693 ISO 15693 ISO 15693 ISO 15693 ICODE (Phillips) Tag-it (TI) Note: Please refer to the specifications of your RFID tags for memory organization. 7.3.1 READ OPERATION By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify how many bytes of data you want to read from the tag. Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure that the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Display hex values] first. 7.3.2 WRITE OPERATION Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the tag from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will automatically be truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it comes to the end of pages available. Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use. The string will be displayed as user data. If you wish to write the string to a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values] first. Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, the string length must be even. For example, if you want to write 0x0A, 0x0B and 0x00 to a tag, the string you input must be 0A0B00 instead of AB0. 104 Chapter 7 Using Reader Configuration Utility 7.4 DATA OUTPUT Tap the [Data Output] button on the General tab to choose from the three options for data output after decoding as well as configure associated settings.
