1. Basic Preparation Important: It is important that you review all safety guidelines described under “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” on page 8 before charging a battery. This quick start guide provides basic information on the operation and features of the Psion Teklogix 7530 G2 Hand-Held Computer. For more detailed information, refer to the 7530 G2 Hand-Held Computer User Manual, or the documentation supplied with the application you are using.
1.2 Attaching The Handstrap Important: Do not use adhesives such as Loctite to secure the screws on the carrying accessories. These chemicals may damage the plastic casing. Two Phillips head screws are provided with the handstrap. • Use a Phillips screwdriver to attach the strap to the two threaded inserts at the back of the 7530 G2 at the top of the unit. • Stretch the handstrap toward the base of the 7530 G2, and hook the bottom of the handstrap into the slot near the base of the battery pack. 1.
Note: Prior to installation, make sure the trigger mechanism is securely snapped into the pistol grip body and that the trigger operates properly. • Position the pistol grip so that it fits snugly over the back of the unit and the inserts on the back of the 7530 G2 align with the holes in the pistol grip. • Use a Phillips screwdriver to securely fasten the pistol grip to the back of the 7530 G2.
1.4 Installing The Battery • Slide the charged battery with the contoured plastic facing you into the 7530 G2. Click the battery into place. CAUTION:Accidental removal and insertion of the battery during operation may result in the 7530 G2 not booting up normally. Should this occur, remove the battery and allow the internal backup power supply to deplete – approximately 15 minutes. Unsaved data may be lost. 1.5 Switching The 7530 G2 On • Press and hold down [ENTER] for at least one second.
1.6 Switching The 7530 G2 Off Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7530 G2 does not result in a complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7530 G2 is turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds. To switch off the 7530 G2: • Press the [BLUE] key, and then press [ENTER/ON]. Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7530 G2 will not switch off.
2. Getting To Know Your 7530 G2 2.
Tether Port Battery Pack Docking Port 2.2 The Battery The 7530 G2 hand-held operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. Preparing the hand-held unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the unit. A full charge is completed in 4 hours with a typical charge time of 1.5 hours Important: Before charging or using the battery pack, it is critical that the safety information on page 8 be reviewed and that all warnings are strictly followed. 2.2.
2.3 The Keyboard The 7530 G2 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 63-key keyboard and a large button, 37-key keyboard. The [BLUE] and [ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys. 2.3.1 Modifier Keys The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed.
2.3.2 The Keys The [SHIFT] Key Used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. The Arrow Keys Move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow – up, down, left and right. The [BKSP/DEL] Key Moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. [DEL] key ([BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.
2.3.3 The 63-Key Keyboard In addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 63-key keyboard also provides function keys and macro keys. They can be custom defined for each application. 2.3.4 The 37-Key Keyboard On 37-key 7530 G2s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys.
Creating Uppercase Letters To display a capital letter: • Press the [ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the alpha character. Choosing Multiple Characters From The Same Key If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow ⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’.
Choosing Multiple Characters From A Range Of Keys If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are not required to press the ‘Accept’ [⇒] key after each alpha selection. The [⇒] key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the [2] key. Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys [2], [3] and [4].
• In the Keyboard Properties dialog box, tap on the Backlight tab. Adjusts light intensity. Determines the duration of time that the keyboard backlight stays on when unit is not in use. Keeps keyboard backlight on when unit is using external power. 2.4 The Display 7530 G2s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient light is below the set threshold.
Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only. Adjusts the intensity of the backlight. Sets duration of time the backlight stays on at the configured intensity when the unit is not in use. Sets duration of time the backlight stays on at half the configured intensity when the unit is not in use. 2.4.2 Adjusting The Contrast The display contrast can be adjusted from the unit keyboard using the [BLUE] key and function keys [F1] and [F2].
• Tap on the [Recalibrate] button. • Follow the onscreen directions to calibrate the display. 2.5 7530 G2 Indicators 7530 G2s use LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), onscreen messages and audio tones as indicators. 2.5.1 LEDs The 7530 G2 is equipped with four tri-coloured LEDs. This section outlines what these LEDs indicate. Important: If an LED is illuminated in red, the operator should be cautious as this generally indicates an abnormal operating condition or active laser emission.
