Appendix 2: Windows Mobile 6.1 Field PC Operations
Introduction
Your ike integrates a Windows Mobile 6.1 Field PC (based on Juniper Archer ultra-rugged
technology) with ike
’s camera, compass, laser distance finder and GPS instrumentation to
provide a hard-wearing one stop shop for your mobile data capture needs in the most
extreme environments.
The main user interface of has been optimized to allow best access to ike functions. This
optimization has involved replacing the
standard Windows Mobile ‘Today’ screen with a
layout that allows easy access to ike functions that are used on a day-to-day basis and
rationalizing
the ‘Start’ menu for frequently-used ike-specific options. Screen images in
this section will appear colored
with respect to the standard ‘Windows Default’ theme.
While the ike device still retains all the Windows Mobile 6.1 functionality it is primarily
designed as a data-capture device. Adjusting Windows Mobile settings may affect the
performance or functionality of your ike unit.
This appendix provides an overview of the additional Windows Mobile Field PC functions
pre-installed on the computer component of your ike device.
