Setting the time and date
When the touch screen calibration is finished, the World Clock dialogue box will
appear.
If your home city is not already set, click on the Home City tab and select your
home city from the drop-down list. You can also select it by starting to type it in:
“ny” will select New York. If your home city is not listed, select the city nearest your
home from the drop-down list for now. You can add your home city to the list using
the World Clock control panel later.
After you set your home city, click on the Date & Time tab. Set the correct date on
the calendar, and then set the correct time on the left-hand clock. Drag the hour
and minute hands on the clock face with the stylus or type in the time.
Finally, click on the N
ext tab at the bottom right of the screen. Your fex21 is now set
to the correct date and time, and to your home city.
Recording your personal information
Finally, fill in the Owner Properties screen. You can, if you wish, enter your name
and contact details. If you enter them and check the Display Owner Identification
checkbox, they will appear each time the fex21 is powered on.
Once you have finished, click on the N
ext tab again. Follow the on-screen
instructions and your fex21 will start the resident Microsoft Windows operating
system.
Controls
The controls on your Itronix fex21 are simple and, for the most part, self-
explanatory. All that you need to remember is how to reset your computer, which is
detailed below.

Peripherals
CAUTION: Connect only approved cables and peripherals to your Itronix fex21.
To connect a peripheral:
•
Switch off your fex21 and peripheral.
•
If fitted, remove the protective cap (or Charger Adapter) from the appropriate
connector.
•
Fit the peripheral to the connector.
•
Use connector locking mechanisms where fitted.
•
Switch on the fex21 and peripheral.
NOTE: the fex21 Charging Adapter does not support host-powered peripherals. If
you need to use such a peripheral with COM1, you must remove the Adapter and
connect the peripheral directly to the COM1 D-Type.
To use the infrared (IR) communications option, ensure that the IR window on your
fex21 is pointing at the peripheral’s IR port and is more than 15cm (six inches), but
no more than 1m (39 inches), away from the port. If you have difficulties, try again
at a different range.
To disconnect a peripheral:
•
Switch off your fex21 and peripheral.
•
Disconnect the peripheral from the connector.
•
If provided, fit the protective cap to the connector.
Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your Itronix fex21, you should contact your system
provider. Before you do so, however, here are a few checks:
•
If your fex21 will not switch on, check the battery pack and try using the AC
Adapter or fit another charged battery pack.
•
If you cannot read the display, try adjusting the screen contrast.
•
If you drop your fex21 and it stops working, try switching it off and on, and
check that the battery pack is connected correctly.
•
Your application may provide a Reset facility. Alternatively, try to Soft Reset your
fex21. If that fails, perform a Hard Reset.
•
If the fex21 still does not work, contact your system provider.
CAUTION: There are no user-serviceable parts inside your fex21, and high
voltages may be present. Do not attempt to open it. Opening the fex21 case
will also void your warranty.
