Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Installing New or Recharged Batteries To ensure proper terminal operation, use ONLY the Symbol Li-Ion battery in the PDT 7500. To install a new or recharged Li-Ion battery: R Y Caution: IM IN A 1. Hook the base of the new battery in the top of the battery compartment, then press the into place. EL 2. Slide the battery latch to secure the battery. If the battery latch is not closed, do not operate the terminal, otherwise data may be lost.
P D T 7 5 0 0 S e r i e s Removing the Battery from the Terminal To remove the Li-Ion battery from the terminal: Y 1. Suspend the terminal’s power. IM IN A R 2. Slide the battery release switch towards the top of the terminal until the lock releases. PR EL 3. Lift the battery up and out of the battery compartment. Charging the Battery in the Terminal To charge the terminal’s battery, place the PDT 7500 in the cradle or connect the synchronization/charging cable.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Y For instructions on setting up the cradle, refer to the Quick Reference Guide that shipped with your cradle or to the PDT 7500 Series Product Reference Guide (72-39225-xx for DOS terminals, or 72-41235-xx for Windows CE Terminals). Charging the Spare Battery IN A R The cradle also has a spare battery charging slot. To charge the spare Li-Ion battery in the CRD 7500 cradle, place the battery into the charging slot in the cradle.
P D T 7 5 0 0 S e r i e s Operating the PDT 7500 Powering the Terminal On/Off Y Before the terminal can be powered on, it must be initialized and the battery must be fully charged. Refer to the PDT 7500 Series Product Reference Guide for your terminal for information on initializing the terminal. R Note: A To power on the terminal: 1. Make sure the terminal’s battery is fully charged. IN 2. Press the PWR key. To suspend the terminal’s operation, press the PWR key.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Performing a Cold Boot (DOS and Windows CE Terminals) Y A cold boot restarts the terminal. In the Windows CE environment, the registry and objects stored are reset to original settings. R To perform a cold boot, press and hold the PWR key for 15 seconds, then release. On the DOS terminal, this value can be reconfigured in Setup (see the Product Reference Guide for more information).
P D T 7 5 0 0 S e r i e s To calibrate your PDT 7500 terminal: Y 1. If necessary, adjust the contrast on the PDT 7500 so the screen is clear and readable. See “Controlling the Screen Contrast” on page 8 for instructions. IM IN A R 2. As the screen instructs, carefully press and briefly hold the stylus on the center of each target. Repeat as the target moves around the screen. PR EL 3. Tap the screen when prompted to accept new calibration.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Using the PDT 7500 Keypad R Y The PDT 7500 uses an alphanumeric keypad that produces the 26character alphabet (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and assorted characters. The keypad is color-coded to indicate which modifier key (ALPHA, CTRL, FUNC, and SHIFT) to press to produce a particular character or action.

P D T 7 5 0 0 S e r i e s Press ENTER after entering data or a command. Press CTRL to perform the control function. This key is under application control. • Press SHIFT and a key to produce various character keys; refer to the PDT 7500 Series Product Reference Guide for your terminal or your application guide for the keypad mapping. Note: Key function can be changed by an application. Your keypad may not function exactly as described above.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Scanning PDF417 Bar Codes Y The PDF417 bar code symbol has multiple rows, but the raster pattern also has multiple scanning rows. Two basic steps are required as you scan: IN Slab Raster A R 1. Point the scanner at the bar code and press the scan button. EL IM 2. As the raster pattern spreads, keep the pattern in the same horizontal plane as the bar code. 3/4” 3/4” PR 3.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Host Communications A Using the RS-232 Serial Cable R Y The PDT 7500 Series terminal can communicate with a host PC either directly through its communications port using an RS-232 serial cable or the cradle, or wirelessly via the Spectrum24® wireless LANs. For more information on setting up and performing wireless communications with your PDT 7540 terminal, refer to the PDT 7500 Series Product Reference Guide.
P D T 7 5 0 0 S e r i e s Communicating with Printers Using the Touch Screen A R Y The PDT 7500 communicates with IrDA-compliant peripherals through the IrDA interface in the base of the terminal. To print, point the PDT 7500’s IrDA port at the IrDA port on the IrDAcompliant printer from a maximum distance of 39 inches (1 meter) and run the application’s print function. Printer communication can also be established through an RS-232 cable connected directly to the printer.
Q u i c k Problem Cause Solution Press the PWR key. Contrast not adjusted properly. Press the blue FUNC key and then the Dark or Light keys to adjust contrast. Scanner does not power on when the scan button is pressed. Scanner is not enabled. See your System Administrator. Scanner does not decode a bar code. Bar code is unreadable. Verify that the bar code is not defective, i.e., smudged or broken. Scan window is dirty. Clean scan window with a lens tissue. Tissues for eyeglasses work well.
P D T Cause Solution Bring the terminal closer to the printer and attempt communications again. Obstruction interfered with communication. Check the path to ensure no objects were in the way. Application is not enabled to run IrDA printing. Printer support must be included with the application to run IrDA printing on the terminal. See your System Administrator. R Y Distance from printer is more than 1 meter (3.28 feet). PR EL IM IN Fail to communicate with IrDA printer.
