Read ALL this leaflet before using your fex21. It contains
essential information about setting up your computer and
getting started.
This is not intended to be an exhaustive guide to the computer. Refer to the
fex21 Developer’s Guide (supplied on CD-ROM) for further information about
using and maintaining your fex21.
USING YOUR fex21
Your HUSKY fex21 computer is rugged and water resistant. However, we
recommend the following precautions to ensure that your fex21 will give you
many years of reliable service.
•Avoid unnecessarily subjecting the unit to extreme temperatures, such as
bright sunlight in a vehicle.
•Avoid leaving it in extremely damp or dusty conditions.
•Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to severe impacts.
•Do not use hard or sharp objects to touch the display screen.
•Do not apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
•If you carry it in your briefcase or with other items, make sure it is protected
against scratching and other damage.
•Use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
•NEVER use solvents of any kind on the case, the keyboard or the display
screen.
SETTING UP
Your fex21 will have left our factory without a battery fitted. To set up a new unit
for the first time you should carry out the following steps:
1. Fit the battery pack
•If your fex21 is supplied for use with Alkaline batteries then they will need to
be fitted into the battery pack - you should insert four AA size Alkaline cells
into the battery holder, taking care that the polarity of each is correct. If in
doubt, check the label fitted to the battery holder.
NOTE: Alkaline batteries are less suitable for use in low temperatures and
cannot be recharged.
Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries, if supplied, are in a
sealed pack, ready to be fitted into the unit.
•Slot the battery pack into your fex21 by locating the two small lugs in the
side of the computer unit and pressing the battery pack firmly in place until
the two small catches click into position.
2. Switch the unit on
After fitting the battery, press the ùkey at the top centre of the keyboard
TWICE to switch your fex21 on - it may take a few seconds before the screen
displays data. To switch off, press the key again. If you have not pressed any
keys for a few minutes, your fex21 will automatically switch off to conserve
power.
When you switch the unit on for the first time, it will display the Windows CE
welcome screen. Tap the screen or press ´and the Touch Screen
Calibration instructions will be displayed. Read these instructions, then tap
the screen again to start the calibration process. A rectangle will be displayed
on the screen, with a cross at its centre. More calibration instructions will be
displayed above the cross.
Use the pen supplied with your computer and follow these instructions
carefully - your fex21 will then automatically start Windows CE.
NOTE: ensure that only the tip of the pen touches the screen during the
calibration process.
3. Set the date and time
Once the touch screen calibration is complete, the World Clock dialogue box
will be displayed.
If it is not already selected, click on the Home City tab, then select your home
city from the drop list that appears when you click on the downward arrow
symbol (or by starting to type it in, e.g. “l”, “o” will section London).
Once you have chosen a city, click on the Date & Time tab and set the correct
date on the calendar. Then set the correct time on the left-hand clock by
dragging the hour and minute hands on the clock face using the pen, or by
typing-in the time.
Finally, click on the Next tab at the bottom right of the screen. Your fex21 is
now set to the correct date and time, and to your own home city.
4. Record Personal Information
The Owner Properties box will now be displayed. You can, if you wish, use
this to enter your name and contact details (this is optional). Once you have
finished, click on the Next tab again - this will complete the set-up process.
Once set-up is complete, follow the on-screen instructions and your fex21 will
start Windows CE.
The controls on your fex21 are simple and, for the most part, self-explanatory.
The only combination of keys you need to remember is that to reset your
computer, as detailed below.
How to adjust the screen contrast
To the left of the ùswitch, below the úsymbol, there are two keys, one
marked ÷and the other marked ø. Press the key marked ÷to increase
the screen contrast and the key marked øto decrease the screen contrast.
Pressing the ú÷and úøkeys at the same time will return the unit to the
default contrast setting.
How to use the screen backlight
To the right of the ùswitch, below the ûsymbol, there are two keys, one
marked ÷and the other marked ø. These control the backlight, and
function slightly differently for colour and mono units.
EL Backlight - for units with a monochrome display
Press the û÷key to switch on the screen backlight and the ûøkey to
switch it off.
Because the backlight increases the power drain on the batteries, we suggest
you use it only when necessary. The backlight switches off automatically after a
few minutes if no keys have been pressed.
CCFL backlight - for units with a colour display
Press the û÷key to increase the backlight intensity by one step and the
ûøkey to decrease the intensity by one step. For units fitted with a
transflective screen, the backlight can be turned off completely. For units with
the STN (transmissive) display the backlight can be reduced to low intensity but
cannot be switched off.
Contrast Power Backlight
How to use the pen
Your fex21 is supplied with a special pen or stylus with which to click on the
display screen icons to enable you to navigate through the application software
installed on your computer. You can also use your finger instead of the pen to
tap the screen. The pen is stored in the bottom of the computer, alongside the
standard serial port (COM1).
It is most important not to use a ballpoint pen or sharp-pointed object to click
on the display as this could cause damage to the surface of the screen.
How to enter data
To type numbers or letters, simply press the appropriate keys. To type a space,
press the large µkey at the bottom centre of the keyboard.
To delete characters you have just typed, press the ü(BACKSPACE) key.
To type capital letters or select the characters or functions shown at the top of
each key, hold down the þ(SHIFT) key and press the appropriate key.
If you want to type several capital letters, press the …(CAPS LOCK) key and
then press the appropriate letter keys. When you have finished, press the …
key again.
To start a new paragraph or to enter data when you have finished typing it,
press the large ´(ENTER) key.
How to move the cursor
You can move the cursor a character or line at a time using the four arrow keys
(Š,ˆ,‡&‰). To move the cursor up or down several lines, use
„+‡together (to move up) or „+ˆtogether (to move down).
To move the cursor to the beginning of the first line press the „+‰keys
together. To move to the end of the last line, press the „+Škeys
together.
How to reset your fex21
If your fex21 locks up or fails to operate, you may need to reset it in one of two
ways.
Soft RESET
First, press the ùkey to switch off your fex21. Then press and hold down
both the ú÷and úøkeys. Next, without releasing the contrast keys,
press and hold the ùkey for 6-10 seconds. Finally, release all three keys -
your unit will perform a soft RESET. When you use Soft RESET you do not lose
the Windows CE registry and therefore your data is safe.
NOTE: For the soft RESET to work correctly, the screen must be displaying data
while the three keys are held down.
Take care not to hold the keys down for more than 16 seconds or the unit will
perform a hard RESET (as detailed below).
Hard RESET
Press and hold down the three keys ú÷,úø, and the ùkey for
between 16 and 32 seconds.
When you use Hard RESET you lose the Windows CE registry and all data
stored in RAM. You also have to re-calibrate your fex21. For this reason, treat
the Hard RESET as an emergency procedure only, and use Soft RESET
whenever possible.
NOTE: Data stored on PCCards and CompactFlash is not affected by Soft and
Hard RESET.
Batteries
The fex21 is designed for use with either a rechargeable NiMH battery pack or 4
AA-size Alkaline cells. Both types are contained in an appropriate battery holder
for ease of removal and replacement.
In addition to the main battery pack, a rechargeable backup battery is fitted. It
will provide data retention for up to 72 hours if the main battery pack is removed
or fully discharged.
Whenever working near an AC power outlet, we recommend that you use your
fex21 with its AC adapter to conserve power. Whenever the AC adapter is
plugged in and switched on, both the main battery and the backup battery are
constantly topped up.
If your fex21 is fitted with an Alkaline battery pack, you can still use the AC
adapter to power the unit, but the battery will not be recharged. This is a safety
precaution to avoid damage to your fex21.
NOTE: You should remove the battery pack if you intend to store your fex21 for
more than two months. Alkalines will discharge (and rechargeable batteries may
degrade) if left inside a stored unit for this length of time.
How to check the batteries
•Double-click on the My Handheld PC icon.
•Double-click on the Control Panel icon.
•Double-click on the Husky fex21 icon. This will open the Husky fex21
Configuration Options box, which has four tabs.
•Click on the Power tab. This will display information about the battery.
Main battery status
If the main battery status is shown as High, your battery should not need
charging in the next few hours. If the status is shown as Low, you should
consider changing or recharging the battery within the next hour or so.
However, if the status is shown as Critical, you should change or re-charge the
battery immediately.
You will not lose the Windows CE registry or any data held in RAM while you
change or re-charge the battery.
NOTE: if the Ni-MH battery was last charged outside your unit, the ‘Main Battery
Level’ percentage displayed will not be entirely accurate. This inaccuracy will be
slight if the battery was fully charged (in another unit, or using an external
charger) within the last day or two. Fully recharging the battery in your unit will
restore the accuracy of the ‘Main Battery Level’ display.
Battery conservation
To conserve the batteries in your fex21 you can set it to switch itself off while it
is not being used.
From the start menu, select Settings, then Control Panel. When the control
panel box opens, double-click on the Power icon to open the Power
Properties box. Select the Power Off tab and set the length of time you would
like the computer to remain idle before switching off. Do this by clicking on the
down arrow alongside the time box and selecting the time from the drop list that
will then appear.
How to charge the battery
Use only the AC adapter and battery charger supplied with your fex21.
Connect the AC adapter to an AC mains power supply and plug the charge lead
into the power port at the left-hand front of your fex21, pushing it gently until you
hear a click.
Leave the battery pack to recharge, which will typically take up to 2 hours.
NOTE: The fex21 unit must be powered on while the battery recharges.
The red LED in the IR window at the right hand side of the front of the unit
indicates the state of charging.
•LED Off: AC Adapter not connected or AC adapter not switched on
•LED On: The unit is running on AC Adapter power. Charging is complete, is
disabled or is not allowed (battery too hot/cold, or no rechargeable battery
fitted).
•Slow regular flashing (once a second): The unit is running on AC Adapter
power and the battery is charging.
•Fast irregular flashing: The unit is running on AC Adapter power. Battery
charging has not started, or has been aborted. This may be due to a battery
fault - If the problem persists then change batteries and/or contact your
system provider.
