In Ad Hoc mode There are five transmission power options:
Select Maximum power to set the mobile computer to the highest transmission power
level. Select Maximum power when operating in highly reflective environments and areas
where other devices could be operating nearby. Additionally, use the maximum power level
when attempting to communicate with devices at the outer edge of a coverage area.
Select 50% , 25% or 10% to set the transmit power level to that percentage of the
maximum power level.
Select Minimum power to set the mobile computer to the lowest transmission power level.
Use the minimum power level when communicating with other devices in very close
proximity. Additionally, select minimum power in instances where little or no radio
interference from other devices is anticipated.
Automatic Power Saving
Mode Switches to Best Network Performance when an AC power supply is detected. If a battery
is used, an appropriate setting between Best Network Performance and Acceptable
Network Performance is automatically chosen based on a real-time analysis of network
usage. The Automatic Power Saving Mode is the default setting and extends the operating
time before the battery is recharged.
Manual Power Saving Mode Allows you to select a performance level suited to intended operation. There are six
settings ranging from the
Best Network Performance (using the most battery power) to
Acceptable Network Performance (using the least battery power). A network performance
description is displayed for each power range.
