Setting up your RuggedReader

1. Attach the PowerBoot

The PowerBoot ModuleTM for your

RuggedReader is shipped unattached. To

attach the PowerBoot, turn the latches

counter-clockwise until they are parallel to

the stylus holder, with the arrows pointing

towards the communication ports located

at the bottom of the PowerBoot.

Firmly slide the

PowerBoot onto

the main unit as shown. Pressure should

be applied downward and forward as the

PowerBoot is positioned.

Use the stylus to lock the PowerBoot

latches, by turning them clockwise one half

turn until they are pointed away from the

communication ports.

2. Attach the hand strap

To connect the hand strap to your

RuggedReader, hold the hand strap

clip at a 45 degree angle and push the

clip onto the RuggedReader bracket.

Repeat the process with the other end

of the hand strap.

3. Charge your RuggedReader

Connect the AC adapter to the

external power port on your

RuggedReader. Charge for at least

12 hours before using. For best

results, turn the RuggedReader off

while charging.

Battery life varies greatly depending on the application and

environment. At moderate or high temperatures with no display light,

usage over 30 hours is possible. In typical use, with default display

light setting and two CompactFlash®memory cards installed, you can

expect 15 to 20 hours of battery life. At cold temperatures (-20C or

less) with heavy use of display light and/or non-memory CompactFlash

cards (e.g. wireless LAN), battery life may be only a few hours.

The keys to extended battery life are managing the display light,

keeping the batteries warm in cold environments, and using

CompactFlash cards that use power conservatively.

4. Align the touch screen

When the RuggedReader ﬁrst turns on (or after a hard reset), the touch

screen will require calibration. Tap the screen to set it up. Using a

stylus, tap the targets ﬁrmly and accurately at each location until the

screen is aligned.

5. Turning your RuggedReader on and off

One of the most convenient features of the RuggedReader is “instant

on.” There is no waiting for it to start up or shut down. To start

working immediately, press the power button. (“Instant on” does not

occur on the ﬁrst boot up.) When you have ﬁnished working, turn off

your RuggedReader by pressing the power button.

6. Using the CF Expansion Slots

To use the CompactFlash expansion slots,

you must ﬁrst remove the CF-CapTM . To do

this, unscrew the two screws on the top of

the CF-Cap. Slide the cap off the main unit.

Gently insert a CompactFlash card or device

into one of the two CF slots. Do not force

the card into the slot. Cards must be inserted with the face toward the

display side of the RuggedReader. Replace the CF-Cap and tighten the

screws to reseal.

Note: Be sure to reattach the CF-Cap when you are ﬁnished. The

RuggedReader is NOT sealed when the cap is off. Water damage

caused by improper installation of the cap is not covered by

warranty.

Working with your RuggedReader

Using the Stylus

The touch screen on your RuggedReader works like a mouse on a PC.

Use the stylus to navigate and select objects on the screen.

Tap: Tap the screen with the stylus to select or open an item. Tapping

is equivalent to clicking an item with the mouse on your PC.

Touch and hold: When you touch and hold, a circle of red dots

appears around the stylus to indicate that a pop-up menu will soon

appear. Touching and holding is equivalent to right-clicking your PC

mouse button.

Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to

select text and images. Drag in a list to select multiple items.

RuggedReader Memory

The RuggedReader has built-in non-volatile, Nand ﬂash storage.

The content of this storage is retained no matter what happens to

battery power or other environmental conditions. You should keep

your data and programs in this storage area. Built-in storage is 64

MB. Approximately 16 MB of this storage is used by the Pocket PC

operating system. The balance is available for your use. There is also

64 MB of volatile RAM; about 58 MB is available to run programs and

to store temporary data.

If you need additional memory, third-party CompactFlash memory

cards can be used with your RuggedReader. They work the same way

as built-in storage except that they are removable. The picture on the

next page shows how these different kinds of memory appear within

File Explorer (Start / Programs / File Explorer). The non-volatile built-

in storage is at the top of the list.

Some data and some programs do not give you the option of keeping

them in built-in storage. Your Pocket Outlook data and CompactFlash

card drivers are two examples of this type of information. Should you

experience a hard reset, this data will be lost. To prevent this type of

loss you should frequently use the built-in backup software to back up

all of this information to built-in storage.

Backup and Restore

Run Backup Now (Start / Programs /

Backup Now).

This easy-to-use program takes all

information that might be lost during a

hard reset and stores it safely in built-

in storage in a folder called System

in a ﬁle called backupimg. When the

RuggedReader goes through a hard

reset, it automatically checks for the

presence of this ﬁle and gives you an

opportunity to restore the most recent

backup.

The Pocket Backup program can be conﬁgured to give you a great deal

of ﬂexibility for both backup and restore including scheduled backups.

You can ﬁnd it in the Utilities folder of the Start / Programs area.

Built-in Storage: The contents are found in this

folder in File Explorer.

Storage Cards: If CompactFlash memory cards are

present, the contents are found in these folders in

File Explorer.

RAM: All other ﬁles and folders displayed by File

Explorer are stored in RAM and will need to be

backed up.

Power Button Features

The power button turns the RuggedReader on and off and can perform

a number of additional useful tasks.

Turn Backlight on/off -- Hold down the power button for about

1 second to manually toggle the backlight state. Note: Manually

turning the backlight off disables auto turn on with screen taps or

button presses until the backlight is manually turned back on or the

RuggedReader is turned off and back on.

Power Menu -- Hold down the power button

for about 3 seconds to bring up a screen with a

menu and a countdown in progress. Continuing

to hold the power button will cause a soft reset

when the countdown reaches zero. Releasing

the power button allows access to this menu.

Tap an option or press power again to exit.

Clean touch screen - Disables the touch screen.

After cleaning, press enter to enable touch screen and exit.

Align touch screen - Use a stylus to align the touch screen.

Soft reset - See the description below.

Exit - Takes you back to the previous screen.

Soft Reset -- A soft reset is comparable to rebooting your PC, which

stops all running programs. It is occasionally used when installing new

software.

To perform a soft reset, use the power menu or hold the power button

down for about eight to ten seconds. (The power menu may or may not

appear.)

Hard Reset -- A hard reset should be avoided if at all possible. It

should only be used if a soft reset fails to resolve an issue. Some

software programs store database information in RAM which would be

erased during a hard reset. So it is strongly recommended that you back

up your data before you perform a hard reset. See Backup and Restore.

To perform a hard reset, hold down the power button and application

button 1 (Start Menu) at the same time for about eight to ten seconds.

(The power menu may or may not appear.) When the message

“Booting - - - ->” appears in the display, release the buttons. If a

backup has been performed, the RuggedReader will prompt to restore.

Clean touch screen

Release power button to use menu.

Continue to hold power button to

soft reset in countdown seconds.
