Scanning  
Terminals with an integrated laser scanner allow you to collect data by  
scanning 1-dimensional bar codes.  
Terminals with an integrated imager allow you to collect data by scanning  
1-dimensional bar codes (including RSS) and 2-dimensional bar codes  
(including PDF417 and DataMatrix).  
Note:  
Additional Symbologies for imager scanning will be supported  
in the near future.  
Before using the terminal to scan bar codes, ensure the scanner is  
initialized. Refer to the PDT 8100 Series with Windows Mobile 2003  
Software for Pocket PCs Product Reference Guide for information on  
configuring your terminal for scanning.  
To scan bar codes:  
1. Aim the exit window at the bar code.

3. Release the scan trigger.  
Capturing Still Images  
In addition to scanning, terminals with an integrated imager allow you to  
capture still images (depending on the software installed).  
Capturing still images on the terminal is application dependent. However,  
you can capture still images using the demo applications supplied with the  
terminal.  
For detailed information about launching and using Imager Demo  
(platform) and Imager Sample (application), refer to the PDT 8100 Series

Resetting Your Terminal  
If your terminal stops responding to input, reset it.  
Performing a Soft Reset  
A soft reset restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and entries.  
To perform a soft reset press and hold the Power button (for approximately  
five seconds) and release it as soon as the screen changes and the  
terminal begins to reboot.  
Caution:  
Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be retained.  
As an alternate method to perform a soft reset when the terminal is on  
press the key combinations in the table below.

A hard reset also restarts your terminal, but can erase all files and settings  
not stored in the Flash File System. Therefore, never perform a hard reset  
unless a soft reset does not solve your problem.  
Note:  
You can restore any data previously synchronized with your  
computer during the next ActiveSync operation. Refer to the  
PDT 8100 Series with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for  
Pocket PCs Product Reference Guide.

Host Communications  
The terminal can communicate with a host PC either directly through its  
communications port using an RS-232 serial cable, the cradle, or  
wirelessly via the Spectrum24 wireless LANs. For more information on  
setting up and performing wireless communications with your terminal,  
refer to the PDT 8100 Series with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for  
Pocket PCs Product Reference Guide.

1. Connect the RS-232 serial communication cable’s connector to the  
adapter cable’s connector.  
2. Plug the adapter cable’s subminiature connector into the serial com-  
munication port on the bottom of the terminal.  
3. Plug the other end of the RS-232 serial communication cable into  
the host PC.

terminal.  
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the serial port on the printer.  
3. Run your application’s print function.  
To print from an IrDA-compliant printer:  
1. Point the IrDA port on the back of the terminal at the IrDA port on the  
printer, at a maximum distance of 39 inches (1 meter).  
2. Run the application’s print function.  
Note:  
The terminal must have software configured to communicate  
with the printer you are using.  
Maintaining the Terminal  
To maintain your terminal in good working order:  
Do not scratch the screen. Use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped  
pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use a  
pen or pencil or other sharp object on the screen.  
Although your terminal is water and dust resistant, do not expose it  
to rain or moisture for an extended period of time. Treat your terminal  
as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instru-  
ment.  
The touch-sensitive screen of your terminal contains glass. Do not  
drop your terminal or subject it to strong impact.  
Protect your terminal from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on  
the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heat  
sources.  
Do not store or use your terminal in any location that is extremely  
dusty, damp or wet.

that MS revoke the DRM SOFTWARE's right to copy, display and/or play Secure  
Content. Revocation does not alter the DRM SOFTWARE's ability to play unprotected  
content. A list of revoked DRM SOFTWARE is sent to your computer whenever you  
download a license for Secure Content from the Internet. You therefore agree that MS  
may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your  
computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. MS will not retrieve any personally  
identifiable information, or any other information, from your computer by downloading  
such revocation lists. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.  
Speech/Handwriting Recognition. If the SOFTWARE includes speech and/or  
handwriting recognition component(s), you should understand that speech and  
handwriting recognition are inherently statistical processes and that errors can occur  
in the component's recognition of your handwriting, and the final conversion into text.  
Neither Symbol nor its suppliers shall be liable for any damages arising out of errors in  
the speech and handwriting recognition process.  
Limitations on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation and Disassembly. You may  
not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, except and only to  
the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding  
this limitation.

NO RENTAL. Except if specifically authorized by Symbol for leased hardware, you  
may not rent, lease, or lend the SOFTWARE.  
APPROVED ADDITIONAL TEXT IF THE DEVICE IS LEASED  
LEASED HARDWARE. In the event that you receive the DEVICE under the terms of a lease  
from Symbol or Symbol’s third-party representative, the following additional terms shall  
apply: (i) you may not transfer the SOFTWARE to another user as part of the transfer of the  
DEVICE, whether or not a permanent transfer of the SOFTWARE with the DEVICE is  
otherwise allowed in this EULA; (ii) your rights with respect to any SOFTWARE upgrades  
shall be as determined by the lease you signed for the DEVICE; and (iii) you may not use  
the SOFTWARE after your lease terminates, unless you purchase the DEVICE from  
Symbol.]  
Software Transfer. You may permanently transfer all of your rights under this EULA  
only as part of a sale or transfer of the DEVICE, provided you retain no copies, you

Battery Information  
Symbol rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest  
standards within the industry.  
However, there are limitations to how long your battery can operate or be stored  
before needing replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of your battery  
pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.  
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in  
overall battery quality may occur. Store your batteries discharged in a dry, cool place,  
removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and  
electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, they should be  
charged and discharged at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed,  
avoid any contact with affected area and properly dispose of the battery.  
An indication that your Symbol battery needs replacement is when normal run time  
begins to diminish. When you consistently experience significant loss of run time,  
replace your battery.  
Standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery  
was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or bar code  
scanner.

Cell Phone/Terminal Warnings  
Safety on the Road  
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. Check the laws and regulations  
on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. When  
using your wireless device / phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common  
sense and remember the following tips:  
1. Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;  
2. Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed dial and re-  
dial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your  
attention off the road.  
3. When available, use a hands free device.  
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, sus-  
pend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,  
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.  
5. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be sta-  
tionary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,  
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
6. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.  
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conver-  
sations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.  
7. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency services, (9-1-1  
in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number in the case  
of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on  
your wireless phone! The call can be made regardless of any security codes  
and depending on a network, with or without a SIM card inserted.  
8. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto ac-  
cident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in dan-  
ger, call the Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or  
other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.  
9. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance  
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious  
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears  
injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other  
special non-emergency wireless number.  
10. Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or lights  
to flash, on receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.  
"The wireless industry reminds you to use your device / phone safely  
when driving".  
Effect on Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic  
systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the manufacturer  
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer  
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

1. An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either in-  
stalled or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air  
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed  
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
2. Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without  
removing your eyes from the road.  
3. Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or  
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary re-  
sponsibility, driving safely.  
Safety on Aircraft  
You are required to switch OFF mobile phones when on board an aircraft as operation  
may be dangerous and illegal.  
Pacemakers  
It is recommended by pacemaker manufacturers that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches)  
be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid any  
possible interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent  
with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.  
Persons with Pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pace-  
maker when turned ON.  
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.  
Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimise the potential for  
interference.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF  
your device.  
Hearing Aids  
The device may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of interference you may  
want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.  
Other Medical Devices  
The device transmits radio frequency energy and has the potential to interfere with  
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult your physician or the manufacturer  
of the device to see if the particular device has sufficient protection.  
It is good practice to turn OFF the device within a hospital or other medical facility  
where sensitive medical equipment is in use. In some countries, this is a legal  
requirement applying to all mobile phones and related equipment.  
Warning Notices  
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of mobile phones.  
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres  
You are advised not to use this device at a refuelling point. You are reminded of the  
need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical  
plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle engine.
