Replace the door and tighten the screws. 5. Plug the AC wall power charger that came with the Archer 2 into a wall socket. Plug the other end into the DC power jack on the Archer 2. The red LED on the keypad blinks when the battery pack is charging.
Attach the Stylus Tether A capacitive stylus and tether are included with the handheld. Note: A stylus is not required to use the touchscreen. The optimal way to make selections is by finger touch. One end of the tether is attached to the stylus. To attach it to the hand strap, follow these steps: 1. Pull the free tether loop through the tether ring on the hand strap. Insert the stylus with the attached tether through this loop and tighten the loop. 2. Place the stylus into the holder on the hand strap.
The Home screen appears (layout varies by model). Note: If you have a barcode, the Barcode Connector screen is shown. Refer to Chapter 9 for details. 4. Press the power button to suspend the handheld. Charge the battery pack at room temperature (68° F or 20° C) for 4 to 5 hours. While the battery pack is charging, the red LED blinks. When it is fully charged, the red LED is solid. Install the Operating System in Other Languages The operating system is provided in English by default.
Home Screen and Windows Start Menu You need to be familiar with two screens as you read this manual and use the Archer 2: the Home screen and Windows Start menu. Note: The Windows soft key and the shift + Home button sequence toggle back and forth between the Home screen and Windows Start Menu.
Navigating Around Your Archer 2 Using Gestures and Making Selections The Windows ® Embedded Handheld operating system enhances the ability of the handheld to recognize touch gestures, making it easy to use a finger to navigate. Use of the capacitive stylus is an option. The keypad buttons can also be used. Navigation options vary depending on the screen you are viewing. Here is a partial list of options: Vertical and Horizontal Movement Flick up, down or sideways on the touchscreen.
Perform the selected action by pressing the return button. For dashboard gadgets like Wi-Fi, one press of the return key shows you which icon is selected, a second key press performs the action, and a third key press turns the action off. For application icons on the Start screen or in favorites, continue to use the return button until you get to the screen or menu you want. Use the shift + OK keypad buttons to select Enter, OK, etc. on the screen.

Power Management The Archer 2 uses a Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack. ! CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the Archer 2 from an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may void your product warranty. Charging the Battery Pack To charge the battery pack, suspend the handheld, then refer to the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. It typically takes 4 to 5 hours to fully charge a battery pack.
The Power control panel appears, displaying the remaining battery power. Battery packs last approximately 1,000 to 3,000 charging cycles before they need to be replaced. This is impacted by applications and environmental factors. Summary of Options to Reduce Power Usage You can adjust some settings to preserve power: Turn off the display (suspend) after a set interval. See Display Backlight Suspend Interval earlier in this chapter. Dim the backlight after a set interval.

Once enough satellites are found, information similar to the following is shown: 5 SV The number of satellites used for the current position.
3Diff The type of fix you have. Three satellites are required for a 2D fix while four are required for a 3D fix. 3Diff means an SBAS (WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) signal is being used for the GPS/GNSS solution. PDOP A measure of accuracy. The lower the number, the more accurate the fix is. Note: When you suspend the Archer 2, the receiver is in a low power mode to retain its almanac. When you resume, it takes a few seconds to get a fix.
GPS Intermediate Driver The GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) is used to allow more than one program to use data from the GPS/GNSS receiver. The GPS/GNSS Settings control panel controls how the GPSID is used. Internal GPS/GNSS is on COM8 and communicates at 115200 baud. These settings are found on the Hardware screen of the GPS/GNSS Settings control panel. If another GPS/GNSS receiver is to be used, this is where you connect that GPS/GNSS receiver so that the GPSID can access it.
