Preparing Terminals For Operation
2.1 Preparing Terminals For Operation
This section of the manual details the basic steps you’ll need to prepare your
hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals for operation.
2.1.1 Client-Side Emulation Software
For terminals equipped with the Client-Side Emulation feature, you’ll need to
review the Connect Inc. manual, “Twin Client Reference for the 7035, 8255 and
8260 terminals manufactured by Psion Teklogix” that is shipped with your
client-side emulation terminal. It details how to install and activate the client-side
emulation software.
2.2 Preparing The 7035 For Operation
Note: For vehicle-mount installation instructions, refer to “Installing
8255/8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminals” beginning on page 18.
Preparing the 7035 terminal for operation includes installing the battery pack, and if
an external antenna is required, connecting the antenna to the 7035.
Important: All battery packs must be charged before use. A description of
battery chargers is provided in Chapter 8: Terminal Accessories
beginning on page 203.
2.2.1 Connecting The 7035 Whip Antenna
7035s equipped with internal antennas do not require whip antennas. A plastic cap
covers the antenna connector on terminals with internal antennas.
If your site requires that external antennas, the appropriate antenna will be shipped
with your terminal. (“Antenna Types” on page 212 lists available antennas.)
When you attach the antenna, make certain that it is securely attached to the
terminal. Failure to do so can result in poor communication quality.
2.2.2 The Battery Pack – Removing And Installing
The 7035 hand-held terminal operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack.
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is
critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines
listed on page 43 and also in the section titled “Lithium-Ion
Battery Safety Precautions” on page 201.
