Battery Pack
The battery pack in the Falcon is a 3.7 V, Lith-
ium Ion battery pack. You will be alerted with a
message dialog box when the battery pack
reaches a low state.
3.7V
Product of USA
2000mAh
Li-ion
U
S
5-1764
After charging the first time, a complete charge
takes about four (4) hours depending on the bat-
tery pack’s state and the recharging method. A
sample battery pack label is shown at the right.
CAUTION: Battery can explode, leak or catch
fire if exposed to high temperature, water or fire.
Do not short circuit, open or disassemble battery.
Recycle or dispose of properly.
You must charge the battery pack and backup battery in a dock or with a power
cable prior to your first use of the Falcon. The initial charge time is approximately
24 hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it fails, there is a 30 minute window in which to
insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery fails. If your backup bat-
tery fails, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your backup battery is
less than fully charged, there is a proportionally smaller window of time available
to replace the main battery. Usage time will also be reduced.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–
45°C).
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery packs, chargers, and docks sup-
plied by your PSC reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the
Falcon and void your warranty. Refer to the PRG for the correct power supplies
and Accessories.

Powering the Falcon
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite, or/and cause serious injury if
exposed to abusive conditions.
•
Do not place the battery in or near fire, direct sunlight, or other high tempera-
ture locations, or heat the battery.
•
Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to
each other with any metal object (such as wire or coin).
•
•
Do not expose the battery to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
Do not disassemble, modify, or pierce the battery. The battery contains safety
and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, explode or ignite.
WARNING
In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery
fluid could cause damage to the eye.
PSC recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure
maximum performance.
Installing the Battery Pack
When you first remove the Falcon from the box, you must charge both the
battery pack and the backup battery for a minimum of 24 hours.
Complete the following instructions to install the battery pack:
1. On a 441X, detach the elastic handstrap by releasing its hook from
the strap studs at the base of the unit (refer to the PRG).

Scanning Bar Codes
Laser Scanning
To use the scanning function on units containing a laser scanning module,
complete the following steps:
1. Select and open a bar code application, such as Microsoft® Word
Mobile.
Figure 25. Scanning a bar code
Press <Scan> (on 26 and 52-
key) or the Scan Trigger to ini-
tiate a scan with the Falcon.
2. Aim the scan window at the bar code following the guidelines outlined
3. Press and hold the <Scan> button (26 or 52-key only) or the trigger. The
laser scans as long as you hold the button or trigger until a good scan is
obtained. There is a 10-second timeout for attempting to scan.
4. Aim the laser beam at the center of the bar code.
•
Position the unit close to the bar code when scanning small bar
codes.
•
•
Position it at a distance when scanning larger bar codes.
The laser is disabled after you release the key or after 10 seconds,
or once a good scan is obtained.

Scanning Bar Codes
Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager
Scanning bar codes with the 2D imaging device is similar to scanning with a
laser scanner. The operation and configuration of the scanner is performed in
the same way as laser scanning devices. Trigger behavior and scanning time-
outs are the same as laser scanning devices.
Scanning Differences
Scanning Aimer
The imager contains an aiming beam rather than a red laser. The aiming beam
mimics a laser line for purposes of orienting the imager to a bar code.
Figure 27 shows how the aiming beam visually differs from the laser beam in
laser scanning devices.
Figure 27. Laser vs. Imaging beam
Aiming Beam
Laser
Note that the aiming beam for the imager is green, rather than red.
Orientation
Rotational orientation does not affect the imager module's ability to read bar
codes. For example, the imager can read a bar code when the aimer beam is
parallel to the lines of the bar code. What is important is the location of the
aimer in relation to the center of the bar code. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
Quick Reference Guide
35
Scanning Bar Codes
Figure 28. Aiming Beam Positioning
Linear bar codes
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther away. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size)
should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To scan a label, hold the imager
at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aim-
ing beam on the symbol.
Scanning Illumination
Another feature that can be enabled for 2D scanning is an array of illumina-
tion LEDs. These LEDs provide illumination in dark environments and can
improve scanning performance under certain lighting conditions. By default,
the illumination LEDs are turned on. Illumination LEDs can be disabled
using the PDT parameters. See the PRG for complete information on pro-
gramming the LEDs.

Image Capture
OCR Scanning
Optical character recognition (OCR) decodes certain fonts and outputs the
data as a string, in a similar fashion to bar code labels. The Falcon 2D Imager
supports limited decoding of some OCR fonts. See the PRG for information
on setup and programming for OCR fonts.
Image Capture
The 2D Imager can be used for capturing, manipulating, and transferring
images.
You can set options for image capture in the Imaging Control Panel. Various
image formats can be selected, including TIFF, JPEG and BMP. You can also
scale, rotate, and modify image quality settings. See the PRG for detailed infor-
mation on using the Falcon 2D for image capture.

•
•
•
A Warm Reset forces all applications to close and clears working RAM
and files.
A Hard Reset forces all applications to close, clears working RAM and
files, and resets the system time and date.
A Clean Boot forces all applications to close and restores the Falcon to
factory defaults. ALL USER-INSTALLED PROGRAMS, DATA AND
REGISTRY SETTINGS ON THE DISK WILL BE ERASED.
Once you initiate a Clean Boot, all applications are forcibly closed and installed
applications and data are deleted. PSC recommends that you first attempt a Warm
Reset, then a Hard Reset, before initiating a Clean Boot.
DO NOT use a sharp object to reset. Sharp objects can puncture the keypad, disabling
the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and voiding your warranty.
PSC recommends using a straightened paper clip
CAUTION
Warm Reset
A Warm Reset is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are
forcibly closed and working RAM is cleared.
Reason to Warm Reset. Perform a Warm Reset when the Windows
Mobile operating system locks up and you cannot reset a “hung” application
using the Settings, as described above.
Procedure to Warm Reset

Deze scanner is in de V.S. goedgekeurd en voldoet aan de vereisten van DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J een
aan de vereisten van IEC/EN 60825-1:1998-2001.
Producten van klasse 1 ,2, 3R, klasse II en IIA worden niet geacht gevaarlijk te zijn.
De scanner bevat een inwendige Visible Laser Diode (VLD) waarvan de emissies de maximumgrenzen van boven-
staande reglementen niet overschrijden.
De scanner is zo ontworpen dat men bij normaal gebruik, onderhoud of tijdens het uitvoeren van de voorge-
schreven onderhoudswerkzaamheden niet aan schadelijke niveaus wordt blootgesteld.
WAARSCHUWING
Als het scanpatroon bij het overhalen van de trekker een enkele stip is, stop dan onmiddellijk en stuur de scanner
terug naar PSC.
WAARSCHUWING
Probeer niet om onderdelen in de opticaruimte te openen of er onderhoud aan uit te voeren. Het openen of onder-
houden van delen in de opticaruimte door onbevoegd personeel kan een inbreuk vormen op de laserveiligheidsre-
glementen. Het opticasysteem mag alleen in de fabriek worden gerepareerd.
WAARSCHUWING
Het gebruik van optische systemen samen met de scanner vergroot het risico voor de ogen. Optische instrumenten
zijn onder andere binoculairs, microscopen en vergrootglazen, maar niet de bril die de gebruiker draagt.

Tämä tutkain on hyväksytty Yhdysvalloissa vastaamaan DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J luokka 60825-
1:1998-2001 IEC/EN-vaatimuksia.
Luokka 1, 2, 3R, Luokka II tai IIAtuotteiden ei katsota olevan vaarallisia. Tutkain sisältää sisäisen näkyvän laserdio-
din (Visible Laser Diode (VLD), jonka päästöt eivät ylitä yllä olevien säädösten asettamia maksimirajoja. Tutkain
on suunniteltu siten, etteivät ihmiset altistu vaaralliselle lasersäteilylle normaalikäytön, käyttäjän suorittaman huol-
lon tai ohjeiden mukaisten huoltotoimenpiteiden aikana.
VAROITUS
Jos skannauskuva on yksittäinen piste laukaisinta painettaessa, keskeytä käyttö ja palauta tutkain PSC:lle.
VAROITUS
Älä yritä avata tai muuten huoltaa mitään rakenneosia optisessa osassa. Valtuuttamattoman henkilöstön suoritta-
man optisen osan avauksen tai huoltotoimen voidaan katsoa olevan rikkomus lasersuojaohjeita vastaan. Optisen
järjestelmän saa korjata ainoastaan tehtaalla.
VAROITUS
Mikäli optisia järjestelmiä käytetään tutkainmen kanssa, silmille aiheutuva vaara lisääntyy. Optiset kojeet käsittävät
kiikarit, mikroskoopit ja suurennuslasit. Käyttäjän silmälasit eivät kuulu tähän ryhmään.
