10. I/O Boots
There are two types of Boots available. The boots can be swapped
by loosening the screws pointed out in the picture below.
USB I/O Boot
Serial I/O Boot
Both boots have a mini-USB connector that uses a USB 2.0 A
male to mini USB B 5-pin cable (included with the unit). The
Mini-USB can be used to connect to a personal computer (PC).
USB I/O Boot: Has a USB host port to connect to USB client
devices. Has an audio jack that is wired for a headset with a mono
speaker(s) and mic combination. It is not for stereo headsets.
Note: Many USB host peripheral devices supported on personal
computers are not supported by this unit. There are two classes of
USB devices that have native support in the OS:
1.) USB Human Interface Devices (HID) examples include
keyboards and some barcode scanners.
2.) USB Mass-Storage devices examples include memory-keys,
hard disks, some digital cameras, and memory card readers.
Before purchasing a USB peripheral, check with the manufacturer
to ensure that it will operate with one of these natively supported
USB classes. Some devices have no applicability in Windows
Mobile. For example, mice do not make sense to use with your
unit because it is designed to be touchscreen operated.
Serial I/O Boot: For use with serial devices. NOTE: COM1 is
always reserved for the 9-pin port, even if you don’t have a unit
with a serial boot.
