Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior
to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles
have been performed.
Batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the unit’s internal charger. When
using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and
docking stations are described in Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page 213.
Note: The 7530 G2 Battery Properties dialog box may indicate an incorrect bat-
tery capacity until the new battery has been fully charged.
It may take several charge/discharge cycles for the battery capacity
gauge to register capacity with the full 95% accuracy.
Keep in mind that if you are using a docking station, you can insert an uncharged
battery in the hand-held, dock the unit and switch it on. If you are using a PDM, you
can configure your unit without a battery, with a charged battery or with an
uncharged battery.
Important: 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.
• Using a Phillips screwdriver, securely fasten the pistol grip to the back of
the 7530 G2.
Important: If the 7530 G2 is equipped with a radio that has never been con-
figured, the radio settings dialog box opens automatically when
the unit is powered on. In this case, skip to Step 4 on page 19.
Note: In most situations, the configuration of your 802.11 radio will require
parameter setting and access keys from a network administrator.
Network administrators should review the detailed security information in
this section in order to effectively configure the 802.11 wireless network.
To configure the 802.11 radio:
1. Press on [BLUE][0] to display the Start Menu.
Tap on Settings>Network and Dial-up Connections.
If you’re using the keyboard, press [BLUE] [0] to display the Start
Menu. Use the [DOWN] arrow key to highlight Settings. Press the
[RIGHT] arrow key to display the sub-menu. Highlight Network, and
press [ENTER].
2. Choose the radio icon to open the 802.11 Wireless LAN Settings
window – in the sample screen, this is labelled PTXCF8385P N1.
The options under this tab display existing networks to which you can
connect, and it allows you to add a new network or modify the settings
for an existing network.
Note: Configure button – To change the settings in an existing network, high-
light the network you want to modify, and tap on the Configure button to
display the Wireless Properties dialog box.
Connect button – To force connection to a specific, existing network,
highlight the network to which you want your 7530 G2 to connect, and
tap on the Connect button.
5. Wireless Properties
Important: Keep in mind that the 7530 G2 will only communicate with access
points that are configured with the same SSID.
Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included
as part of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to
enhance WEP, TKIP uses the original WEP encryption but ‘wraps’ addi-
tional code at the beginning and end to encapsulate and modify it, encrypt-
ing each data packet with a unique encryption key.
Authentication
802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open,
Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless
station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate
with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame
that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then
sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the
sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have
received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from
the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication
is required. For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a pre-
shared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensi-
ble Authentication Protocol (EAP) and RADIUS is supported.
Network Key:
This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active
WEP key on the access point.
The connection you created will be listed in the Wireless Information tab as a
preferred network. The radio will search for the SSID and will compare the WEP
and authentication information you specified. If there is a match between your hand-
held settings and the access point settings, the hand-held will communicate on the
network through the access point.
Cold Reset
There are two options when executing a cold reset: reset to BootLoader or reset
directly to Windows CE operating system.
To execute a cold reset and access the BooSt menu:
• Press and hold down the left [BLUE] key, the [ENTER] key and the
[SCAN] key simultaneously for a minimum of six seconds.
After a cold reset, the BooSt menu appears.
• If you want to load the Windows CE operating system, type 1.
• If you want a clean start, press ! (that is, the [SHIFT] key and 1). All data
and settings are lost. Files and data stored in flash are preserved.
Once the OS loads, any executables and cab files in the startup folders are run. The
cab files are deleted by the cab file installer unless they are marked read-only.

Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0° C (32° F) and
39° C (102° F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status
LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to
Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 44 for details.
Alpha key
representation.
The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in
orange characters above the numeric key, [2].
To choose the letter ‘a’:
• Press the [ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2].
To choose the letter ‘b’:
• Lock the [ORANGE] key on, and press [2] twice.
• Press the [ORANGE] key again to unlock it.
To choose the letter ‘c’:
• Lock the [ORANGE] key on.
• Press [2] three times.
• Press the [ORANGE] key again to unlock it.
Choosing More Than One Alpha Character 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. Pressing this key signals the 7530 G2
to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the
same key.
Note: Remember that as you choose alpha keys, each is displayed in the
left-hand corner of the taskbar to make it easier to determine which letter
is currently chosen.
For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are
all accessible from the numeric key, [2].
To type the letter ‘a’:
• Lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, [2].
• Press the ‘Accept’ key [⇒] (zero key) to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should
be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.
• In the Control Panel, tap on the Stylus icon to display the Stylus
Properties window.
3.5.1 LEDs
Hand-helds are 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.
Note: Keep in mind that while the standard 802.11 radio supports the trans-
mit/receive LED, not all radios support this function.
Battery Gauge
The battery shaped icon displayed in the taskbar provides a visual indication of the
remaining battery power. The icon acts as a meter that is either full, at three-quarter
level, half, quarter level or empty.
When the battery level is low – approximately 15 minutes from empty – a warning
window pops up. When the battery power is completely depleted, a final warning
window indicates that the 7530 G2 will be powered down.
If the 7530 G2 is using external AC power, an AC icon is displayed in the taskbar.
Battery Charge
The battery charge icon is displayed in the taskbar when the hand-held battery is
being charged.
Tethered Devices
When a peripheral is attached to the tether port and activated, an associated icon
appears in the taskbar.
Docking Device
When a hand-held is inserted in a docking station, charger or cradle, an associated
icon appears in the taskbar.
Gang Charger, Combo Charger & Quad Docking Station Power Cradle Portable Docking
Combo Docking Station Module (PDM)
Bluetooth Radio
This icon represents the Bluetooth radio installed in your unit.
Security Level
Security levels can be set to limit user access. In addition, applications can be
restricted to prevent inadvertent changes.
3.6.3 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Is the unit on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the
hand-held you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scan-
ning procedure or the bar code.
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different
bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a
hardware problem in the hand-held.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for
dirt or fogging.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED
illumination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media
such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for pho-
Tether Shell
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it
reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery
power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow
the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• The hand-held battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The
taskbar battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run
time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon dis-
plays quarter percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new bat-
tery). An aged battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less
capacity than nominal.
Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialog box that provides
detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the
remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recal-
ibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged
and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and
charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state
but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This
should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a
week – in this case, the battery should be removed.
• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should
be fully charged, discharged (operated in the hand held until the low battery
warning appears), and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the
gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capac-
ity of the battery.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
7530 G2 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic
is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

through which you can view the status of various elements of your unit such as
battery capacity and radio signal quality. If the hand-held is attached to a charger,
cradle, docking station or PDM, an associated icon is displayed. In addition, the
taskbar displays the application(s) currently running on your unit and the security
level assigned to your 7530 G2.
The taskbar also displays active modifier keys – [SHIFT], [ALT], [CTRL], [BLUE]
and [ORANGE]. Keys that have been locked “on” are displayed in uppercase
letters. For example, if you lock the [CTRL] key “on”, it is displayed as CTRL KEY in
the taskbar.
If you check Disable hot keys, the Application from Start menu field becomes
enabled. Use this field to enter the name of the application you want to run when the
user presses the Menu hot key – [BLUE] [0].
If you have disabled hot keys, hidden the Start Menu and have no application
configured, the Menu hot key brings up the Security dialog box.
• If the menu item has an underlined character, type the underlined alpha
character – for example, to display the Security dialog box, type the letter s.

• Slide the bar in the Contrast tab to the left to decrease or darken the
display contrast.
• Slide the bar to the right to increase or lighten the display contrast.
Note: Backlight changes take effect immediately. You do not need to reset
the unit.
Important: To maximize battery run time, keep the display backlight bright-
ness and active durations as low as possible.
ON Threshold
The 7530 G2 is equipped with an ambient light sensor. This sliding bar allows you
to determine how dark the ambient light needs to be before the backlight turns on.
Intensity
This parameter is used to adjust the light intensity of the 7530 G2 backlight.
Sliding the bar to the left lowers the light intensity, and sliding it to the right raises
the intensity.
Bright For
The value chosen from this dropdown menu determines the duration of time that the
backlight stays on at the configured intensity after the last user action (keypress or
scan trigger).
Dim For
The value chosen from this dropdown menu determines the duration of time that
the backlight stays on at half the configured intensity (dimmed backlight) after
expiration of the Bright For delay and as long as no user action takes place (such as
a keypress or scan trigger). At the expiration of the Dim For duration, the display
backlight shuts off.
This dialog box allows you to customize the display colour scheme.
Repeat Delay
The position of the slider determines how long a key must be held down before it
begins to autorepeat.
Repeat Rate
The value assigned for the Repeat Rate parameter determines how quickly the key
you press repeats and is measured in characters per second (cps). Sliding the bar to
the left slows the repeat rate, and sliding the bar to the right increases the repeat rate.
Note: Use the field at the bottom of this dialog box to test the repeat delay and
rate settings you’ve chosen.
ON Threshold
The ON Threshold sliding bar allows you to determine how dark the ambient light
needs to be before the keyboard backlight turns on.
Intensity
This parameter is used to adjust the light intensity of the 7530 G2 keyboard
backlight. Sliding the bar to the left darkens the keyboard backlight intensity, and
sliding it to the right lightens the intensity.
Note: The keypad backlight maximum brightness will decrease over time as it
ages. Use mid-range intensity settings when possible to extend the back-
light life span. When the backlight starts to dim, use this parameter to
make it brighter.
ON For
The value chosen from this dropdown menu determines the duration of time that the
keyboard backlight stays on after the last user action (keypress or scan trigger).
Lock
If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it
‘on’ until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.
OneShot
If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.
OneShot/Lock
OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this
option and you press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key
is pressed.
If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked ‘on’, remaining active until the
modifier key is pressed a third time to turn it ‘off’.

5.6.3.2 Sound
The 7530 G2 hand-held computer is equipped with a sound port. This dialog box
allows you to determine the sound file that will be emitted from this port.
Power Scheme
This dropdown menu allows you to specify whether the unit is using AC Power or
Battery Power.
Switch State To Suspend
Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-
utes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely
affect the battery run time.
To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the
duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display
Backlight” on page 88).
When the 7530 G2 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so
on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on),
the value chosen in the Suspend Timeout dropdown menu determines when the unit
will go to suspend state (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit
enters Suspend state. In Suspend state, the 7530 G2 CPU enters a sleep state, and the
radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing
[ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7530 G2 is in suspend
state, the network connection is broken immediately; you must re-establish the
network connection.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the
battery drains. If you choose Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the
battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time.
If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left
in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
5.6.4.4 Calibrate
Tapping in the checkbox next to Allow Battery Calibration allows the battery to be
recalibrated only when necessary if the unit is inserted in a Combo Docking station.
5.6.4.6 Devices

For a detailed description about Certificate setup for both the server and client-side
devices (7530 G2s), refer to the following website:
www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/walkthroughs/default.asp - "Security Services"
Note: When importing certificates, the 7530 G2 only recognizes .cer files.
Scan
• Tap on the Scan button to list available devices.
Wait for the 7530 G2 to complete its scan (approximately 20 seconds). When
scanning starts, the Scan button will change to Stop – if necessary, you can
tap on this button to stop the process. Once scanning is complete, all discovered
devices will be displayed in the list box, with Name, Address, Active status,
and PIN information.
Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by
names. Only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio cov-
erage range will be retrieved.
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When
a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected
during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once
you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons
become available.
Services
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to
communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles
that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial
service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is
another available profile.
• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then
click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry.
Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a consider-
able amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear – it may appear
to be frozen.
Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:
• Highlight the service to be activated.
• Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.
The Activation menu contains four options – Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing and
Encrypt.
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will
appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or
COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but
older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name,
the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and
COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The
port is available as soon as it is activated.
Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the
service is RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed
except for debugging purposes.
To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated.
Then you can choose the ‘Outgoing’ option from the Activation menu (highlight a
service, right-click or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu).
The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation.
To change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.
Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the
RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may
change their RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting
may not work when the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate
the service and reactivate it to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)
Set PIN
PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or
you can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.
Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise
the PIN authentication will fail.
• Highlight a device, click on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN.
You will receive a message, either that the PIN has been successfully validated or
that it has been rejected.
If the PIN has been validated, an asterisk (*) appears in the PIN column in the
Devices list box, indicating that this device has a PIN set. Once a PIN is entered, it is
saved in the registry.
To remove the PIN:
• Choose Set PIN, and press [ENTER].
If the 7530 G2 attempts to connect to a remote device that has Authentication
enabled and does not have a required PIN set, an Authentication Request dialog
box appears.
• Enter the PIN, and tap on OK to connect the devices.
The Bluetooth connection is initiated from your 7530 G2 to the remote device –
therefore the 7530 G2 is called the ‘client’ and the remote is called the ‘server’. The
Servers tab displays the server profiles that can be activated in your 7530 G2. There
is currently one server profile available: Serial.
• Tap on the checkbox to activate the server, and it will display the associated
port name beside the server name.
Once you activate a server profile, it is recommended that the 7530 G2 be rebooted
before you try to bond from a server.
Note: You do not need to reboot if you are deactivating a server.
Outgoing Port acts as a serial port that can be used to connect to a list of Bluetooth
devices (one at a time), but you have the freedom to switch on-the-fly.
The Outgoing Port checkbox allows you to create the Outgoing port. When the port is
created, the Outgoing tab lists the port name.
The Outgoing list dialog box displays a list of services marked as ‘Outgoing’. The *
column indicates the currently selected service. You can tap on Unselect to reset the
current selection, or you can tap on Select to make a selection. The Remove button
deletes the service from the outgoing list.
The Prompt menu determines the behaviour of the pop-up Selection menu.
Choosing Everytime causes the Selection menu to be displayed each time an
outgoing port is created. If you choose Once, the menu is displayed only when a
partner service is not selected.
To display the Selection menu at any time:
• Press [CTRL] [ALT] [F1], and switch the partner Bluetooth device.
If a connection to a partner device already exists, the connection is dropped and
another connection to the newly selected device is created instantly without
disrupting the application that has opened the outgoing port.
Note: To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be
deactivated. Then you can choose the ‘Outgoing’ option from the Activa-
tion menu (highlight a service, right-click or press the [SPACE] bar to
display the Activation menu).
The Active Conn. tab lists the Name, Address, and Type of the currently active
connections. The table is periodically updated, but it can take a few seconds before
it reflects the actual list of connections. The Type column of the table shows ‘ACL’
or ‘SCO’. The Connection list table shows the connections for scanning as well as
the service connections.
Note: You can change the device-name and description of your radio by clicking
on the System icon in Control Panel, which will open the System Proper-
ties dialog box. Click on the Device Name tab to access the menu and
change your settings. Then click on OK.
Although the name will have changed in the Properties menu in Bluetooth
Controls, the radio only reads it on boot-up. For the changes to take
effect, you must cold reset the 7530 G2 (see“Cold Reset” on page 27).
The Properties tab displays information about your 7530 G2, and provides some
port options.
The Device Name field shows the device name of your 7530 G2. This name can be
changed (see the Note on the previous page for details).
Device Class shows the Class of Device (e.g. desktop, hand-held), which is always
set to Handheld.
Local Bluetooth Address shows the address of your 7530 G2 radio.
Port Prefix is used to set the port name to either BSP or COM. When the name is set
to BSP, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for activated services (including the server).
When COM is chosen, COM7 to COM9 are available.
NQuery Retry (Name Query Retry) governs the number of times the hand-held will
attempt to query the names of other Bluetooth devices if the first attempt fails.
(When the 7530 G2 scans for other devices, it sometimes fails to scan names.)

• Tap on the Backup button to start the process, and create a profile.
Note: You can also manually restore an auto restore profile located in flash or a
storage device.
• Choose the checkbox next to Enable IPv6 Network Support to enable this
internet protocol.
The Power information in this screen indicates the power of the radio installed in
the unit – 0.5 or 1.0 W. The “Serial Number” is the identifier for the radio and is
used by the protocol when the “Auto Radio Address” parameter is enabled. The
“CIS Data” (Card Information Structure) is manufacturer information describing the
PC Card installed in the 7530 G2. “DSP x.x / FPGA 0xNN” indicates the firmware
revision of the radio’s DSP (x.x) and FPGA (0xNN) where x.x and NN represent
actual revision numbers.

CD Number of carrier detect changes detected
Coll Number of collisions detected
Actual difference in time (in RTC ticks) between when the most recent trans-
Tx D
mit (with timestamp) was scheduled to start and when it actually started.
TxMD Maximum "Tx D" value
Number of extra characters received for last received message (due to delay
Rx X
in host reporting back actual body size)
RxMx Maximum "Rx X" value
MChg Number of completed mode changes
Channel Number
This parameter determines the operating radio channel of the 7530 G2. The
allowable range for this parameter is 1 to 20. The default value is 1.
Note: The Channel Number dropdown menu displays only the channels that
have been enabled in the Channel Enable List.
Power Up Channel
When this parameter is enabled (checked), the 7530 G2 begins communicating on
the channel specified in the Channel Number parameter when the unit is powered
up. This setting may prevent the migration of 7530 G2s to the same channel due to
uneven coverage in some sites.
If this parameter is disabled (unchecked), the unit will continue communicating on
the same channel that it was on before it was powered off.
This dialog box is completed by default with all channels that have frequencies
configured. A checkmark indicates that a channel is enabled. An unchecked check
box indicates that the channel is disabled. The maximum number of channels
supported by the RA1001 Narrow Band radio is 20.
Enabling a channel allows the channel to be set to an operating channel (Channel
Number) and makes it available for channel searching. For example, if Channel 1 is
the operating channel and all other channels are enabled, the 7530 G2 can roam
through all 20 channels.
Important: “Fast” switch speed is most effective where coverage areas are
largely overlapping. If the coverage areas barely overlap, have
dead spots, or if the 7530 G2 frequently operates on the fringe of
coverage, this parameter should be set to “Slow”.
Channel Selection
Enabling “Manual Select” allows you to set the channel search order the 7530 G2
will use if communication quality drops and channel switching is required. If this
parameter is enabled, the 7530 G2 uses the channel switching lists specified in the
Manual Switch Table. If this parameter is disabled (unchecked), the hand-held uses
a standard algorithm to decide which channel it should switch to in the event of poor
channel quality.
Warning: It is not recommended that the “Manual Select” parameter be used
without a clear understanding of how to order the channel
sequences for optimum performance.
This feature is used rarely. It is used when the order of channel switching needs to be
tightly controlled. The values in the “Channel” column are completed for you with
the enabled channels when this dialog box is opened. For each corresponding
enabled channel, the “List” column contains “0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0” values by default.
If communication quality falls below 46%, only the channels entered in the Manual
Switch Table are considered for channel switching. The channel search is carried out
in the order in which the channels were entered in the table.
To configure channel switching order for a particular channel:
• Highlight the channel you want to edit, and tap on the Edit Channel
List button.
Only those channels that are enabled are displayed in the dropdown menus in the
Edit Channel List dialog box. The allowable values range from 0 to 20.
• Tap on the arrow next to dropdown menu to scroll through the available
channels. Highlight the value you want to assign.
• Once you’ve assigned the switching order, tap on the OK button to close
the dialog box.
The channel list is added to the selected channel in the Manual Switch Table
dialog box.
Note: This parameter is set to ‘0’ (an out-of-range value) by default to block
radio communication when the unit is initially powered up. This prevents
several new hand-helds from attempting to communicate with the same
default terminal number at initial power up. Once the default value is
changed, it cannot be set back to ‘0’.
Polling
The default values for the Polling parameters are dependent on the value assigned to
the Modulation / Baud Rate parameter in the Radio tab.
Modulation / Baud Rate Sync Delay Window Delay Poll Timeout
4 Level / 19200 17 20 20
4 Level / 9600 17 23 25
2 Level / 9600 17 19 22
2 Level / 4800 25 23 37
Table 5.3 Polling Parameters
Sync Delay
Warning: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting
without a clear understanding of radio protocol timing.
The “Sync Delay” parameter specifies the delay between the base station
transmission and the first response window, measured in milliseconds. The value
assigned to this parameter must be compatible with other hand-helds and base
stations in the system. The allowable range for this parameter is between 1 and 40.
Window Delay
Important: The value assigned to this parameter should not be changed from
the factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of
the radio protocol.
This parameter specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) the 7530 G2 should
add to each response window in order to accommodate the receive/transmit
switching characteristics of the radio. The value assigned must be compatible with
other units and base stations in the system. The default setting of 19 is based on the
requirements of a 2 level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.
Poll Timeout
This parameter (in units of 16.6 ms) sets the time-out value used for automatic
channel switching. “Poll Timeout” is the time during which the 7530 G2 should
detect at least one poll from a base station. As each “Poll Timeout” passes without a
successful poll from the base station, the 7530 G2 channel quality decreases. If the
channel quality falls to below 46%, the unit begins searching for a new channel.
A value from 1 to 200 can be assigned to this parameter.
Late TX Limit
The value entered for this parameter (measured in milliseconds) sets the maximum
allowable deviation time from the start of a response window during which an
7530 G2 can make a transmission. After this threshold, the transmission will not be
attempted and the 7530 G2 will try again at the next opportunity. For example,
suppose this parameter is set to 5. From the beginning of the response window,
the 7530 G2 can be up to 5 milliseconds late sending a transmission. Beyond
this threshold, the transmission is not attempted. The hand-held waits for the
next opportunity.
The allowable range for this parameter is from 1 and 10 – the default value is 2.
Modulation/Baud Rate
The options listed in the “Modulation / Baud Rate” dropdown menu are:
2 Level/4800, 2 Level/9600, 4 Level/9600 and 4 Level/19200. The value assigned
to this parameter must be identical to the corresponding parameter in the Psion
Teklogix Base Station. This parameter is stored in the radio’s non-volatile memory.
The default value for “Modulation/Baud Rate” is 2 Level/9600
Data Squelch
“Data Squelch” controls the radio receiver, cutting it off when the signal is too weak
for reception of anything but noise. Receive Signal Strength Indicator values below
the “Data Squelch” threshold prevent further processing of the receive signal while
higher values allow further processing. The allowable range is 0 to 100 with a
default value of 0.
In noisy environments, this value can be increased to reject noise. In environments
with less noise, this value can be decreased to allow the received signal and increase
range. This parameter is stored in the radio’s non-volatile memory.
Test Squelch
•Tap on the Test Squelch button to prompt the radio to use the “Data
Squelch” value without committing it to the radio’s non-volatile memory –
in other words, to ‘test’ the value assigned to the “Data Squelch” parameter.
To commit the new “Data Squelch” value to the radio’s non-volatile memory:
• Tap on the OK button – the dialog box is closed and the new value is saved.
To discard the new value, and keep the old “Data Squelch” value:
• Tap on the X button at the top of the dialog box. The old value is sent to the
protocol driver.
Frequency Table
• Tap on the Frequency button to display the Frequency Table dialog box.

scanner is installed. All internal scanners can be configured using these dialog
boxes. External, non-decoded scanners are also configured through the Scanner
Properties dialog box.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special
configuration bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides
programming manuals for configuration purposes.
• For Symbol decoded scanners, refer to the LS3408 programming guide.
• For PowerScan® (PSC) decoded scanners, refer to the Powerscan Program-
ing Guide (PSC).
A ‘plus’ sign (+) to the left of the menu item indicates that a sub-menu of parameters
is attached.
• Tap the stylus on the + sign to display the sub-menu.
• To change a parameter value, double-tap on the parameter. If you need to
type a value, a dialog box is displayed in which you can type a new value.
If you need to change a yes or no value, double-tapping on the parameter
toggles between yes and no.
If you’re using the keyboard:
• Highlight the bar code you want to work with, and press the [RIGHT]
arrow key to display the sub-menu.
• Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to highlight a parameter.
• To change a parameter value, press [SPACE] or the [RIGHT] arrow key. If
a field requires text entry, a text box is displayed in which you can enter the
appropriate value.
Short Code
When enabled, this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2
characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the
hand-held must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended
for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional
decodes required after the initial decode, prior to a bar code being accepted. Higher
values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve
the reliability of the decoded bar code.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes
(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for
misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default
value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.
5.11.2.2 Code 39
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “Code 39” or off to disable it.
Full Ascii
If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape
characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character
is converted to an equivalent ASCII character.
Include Check
If this parameter is enabled, the check digit is included with the decoded bar
code data.
AIAG Strip
If this parameter is enabled, the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded
Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the Code 39
start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits
followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or
specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.
Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this
parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.
This is because the hand-held performs the strip function before it pro-
cesses the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data
is not identified as AIAG.
Error Accept
If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled, all label data without
an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled
and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled, the label data is not accepted.
Mod Checks
This parameter allows you to choose the check digit calculated: MOD 43 Check,
MOD 10 Check or None.
• Double-tap on Mod Checks to display your options.
• Tap on a check digit to highlight it, and tap on OK.
If you choose None, a check is not executed.
Field Size/Chars
Field Size
The field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and
the prefix and suffix characters are added. If the field size is non-zero, only
bar codes of that length are passed through.
Prefix Char
This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press
the key you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The
ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
Pressing the [ESC] key in this dialog box resets the data to zero.
Suffix Char
Note: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character.
For example, if [BKSP] is pressed, the usual action for that key is
performed. If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI
emulation application, the hand-held transmits the escape sequence
associated with the function immediately after the bar code data.
This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the
key you want to insert in the dialog box attached to this parameter. The
ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
Pressing the [ESC] key in this dialog box resets the data to zero.
Strip Leading
This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the
beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added.
Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the
“Strip Leading”.
Strip Trailing
The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be
removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added.
Include Sym
Setting “Include Sym” to on causes the group separator(s) and start code contained
in this type of bar code to be displayed on the screen.
Note: This option is available only when ‘EAN/UCC 128’ is selected.
Variations
When using Code 128, you can choose the bar code variation the scanner will
recognize. The options available are Standard, UCC 128 and EAN/UCC 128.
• Double-tap on Variations to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Tap on a variation to highlight it, and then tap on OK.
Standard
Enable Standard if “Code 128” is desired.
UCC 128
UCC 128 is a variation of “Code 128”.
EAN/UCC 128
To successfully scan this type of bar code, “EAN/UCC 128” must be enabled.
“EAN/UCC” bar codes include group separators and start codes.
Note: If you choose None, a check is not executed.
Field Size/Chars
Refer to the description beginning on page 148 for details.
5.11.2.4 EAN 13
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “EAN 13” or off to disable it.
Addendum
Important: Before “Addendum” can take effect, the “Short Code” parameter
(see page 146) must be enabled.
An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code.
This parameter provides three options: Disabled, Optional and Required.
Depending on the value chosen for this parameter, an addendum is recognized
or ignored.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
When “Addendum” is set to Disabled, the scanner does not recognize an
addendum. If this parameter is set to Optional, the scanner searches for
an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When the
parameter is set to Required, the scanner does not accept the main bar code
without an addendum.
Note: Setting ‘Addendum’ to Optional reduces performance. Optional
should only be selected if at least some of the bar codes being read
have addendums.
Prefix/Suffix

An addendum is a separate bar code, supplementary to the main bar code.
This parameter provides two options: Not Required but Transmitted if Read or
Required and Transmitted.
• Double-tap on Addendum to display a dialog box listing your options.
• Highlight an item, and tap on OK.
When Addendum is set to Not Required but Transmitted if Read, the scanner
searches for an addendum and if one exists, appends it to the main bar code. When
the parameter is set to Required and Transmitted, the scanner does not accept the
main bar code without an addendum.
Addendum Security
This parameter defines the security level for Addendum Add-on 2 and Addendum
Add-on 5. The higher the security level, the lower the decode rate, which can be set
from 0 to 100.
GTIN Compliant
GTIN (global trade item number) processing transmits EAN 128 as the 14-character
EAN/UCC GTIN. To use GTIN processing, you must activate the EAN 128 symbology.
Important: When EAN 128 and GTIN processing are both activated, it is not
possible to read normal EAN 128 Codes.

a, b, c, d
A, B, C, D
a, b, c, d, /, t, n, *, e
DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4
Thus, when a set is chosen, the first and last digits of a Codabar message must be
one of those characters and the body of the message should not contain these
characters. Setting this parameter to Not Transmitted strips the start and stop
characters from this bar code.

check digit(s).
Field Size/Chars
Refer to page 148 for details.
5.11.5 Imager
When more than one bar code is visible in a single snap shot, this parameter allows
you to specify that only the centre image within the imager framing marker be read.
When this parameter is set to on, the target dot is pointed at the centre image and
only that image is returned.
Window Width
This parameter determines the width of the captured image in pixels.
Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter,
if necessary; the driver will also use the Window Width value to horizon-
tally center the image in the field of view.
Window Height
This parameter determines the height of the captured image in pixels.
Note: The driver will validate and reassign the value assigned to this parameter,
if necessary; the driver will also use Window Height value to vertically
center the image in the field of view.
Auto Exposure
Important: This parameter value should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel. It should be left at the default value – ‘on’.
Setting this parameter to on allows the imager to make automatic gain, integration
and illumination adjustments based on ambient light before capturing the bar code.
If the adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before
another image is captured.
Fast Converge
Note: “Auto Exposure” must be set to ‘on’ in order for this parameter
to function.
Keep in mind that while this parameter can improve imager performance,
“Fast Converge” increases battery power consumption.
Setting this parameter to on speeds the “Auto Exposure” process. It allows the
imager to rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding ideal
values for gain, integration and illumination.
Decoder Timeout
The decoder is a set of algorithms that examine the image and attempt to find the bar
codes, and then turn the pixels into data that the computer can use—this process
takes time. ‘Decoder Timeout’ limits the amount of time the decoder will spend
attempting to decode an image, and forces it to stop and grab a new image, which
will probably be easier to decode.
Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to
‘Decoder Timeout’ should be increased to 200ms/extra bar code after the first.
Adaptive Windowing
Adaptive Windowing is an advanced technique used to speed up bar code
recognition in certain applications. The ‘Adaptive Windowing’ parameter
automatically reduces the size of the window to the user-programmed window size
when it successfully decodes (which reduces decode time the next time it is used),
but increases it to the full size window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode.
Note: This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how
the device operates in your application, and that, after a learning period,
operators will get used to using the imager in one particular way. It also
assumes that a trained operator will usually only have near miss scenarios.
Constant Illumination
Constant Illumination is used to reduce the intrusiveness of the device’s illumination
on the observer. Instead of the illumination turning on and off every time the device
attempts a decode (2-4 times per second), the illumination stays on from the time the
trigger is pulled until a decode is successful. This feature is useful in low light
environments, since it will also reduce the distraction that the illumination can have
on nearby coworkers.

linear and area CCD scanners along with linear and rastering laser scanners.
Enabled
Set this parameter to on to enable “Composite” bar code scanner.
Important: To successfully read this type of bar code, the two types of
symbologies included in the composite must be enabled.
In addition, “Center Bar Code Only” must be disabled.
Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan
appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful
decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is
released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display
whenever the scanner is activated.
Scan Result Time (sec)
The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long
the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in
seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this
option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has
expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.
5.11.7 Translations
Input
This value is compared with the decoded bar code reading. If there is a match, the
“Output” string replaces the data read from the bar code.
Output
If there is a match between the decoded bar code and the corresponding “Input”
string, the decoded bar code will be translated into the “Output” string. This string
entry parameter can be null, or it may contain any combination of standard and
special characters (e.g., function keys, [ENTER], etc.).
Type
The value chosen from this dropdown menu determines what is compared with
the decoded bar code reading – the beginning of decoded bar code, the end of
decoded bar code, the entire decoded bar code or anywhere within the decoded bar
code (default).
5.11.8 Ports
While you cannot configure the scanner, you can configure communications with a
serial decoded scanner using the options in this tab.
Use these settings to ensure that the communication ports on the 7530 G2 match the
settings of the serial devices to which they are connected. If the settings do not
match exactly, the devices may not function. Note that some devices can auto-detect
serial port settings (such as baud rate), and in this case the 7530 G2 will dictate the
settings. Baud rates often have a direct impact on performance – they should be set
as high as possible while still ensuring reliable communication.
Baud
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a pop-up window in which you can
choose an appropriate baud rate.
Data Bits
This parameter determines the number of bits data bits included in each
asynchronous data byte. Most devices use 8 bit data bytes. Double-tapping on this
option displays a pop-up window in which you can choose either 7 or 8 data bits.

6.3 Batteries
Note: Battery specifications are detailed beginning on page 247.
7530 G2s operate with Lithium-Ion batteries – either a 1900 mAh battery pack or a
high capacity, 2400 mAh battery.
Important: It is critical that the battery safety information described on
page XII near the beginning of this manual be reviewed carefully
and that all warnings be strictly followed.
6.5.1 Installation
The gang charger can be wall mounted using the wall mount kit, Model # HU3106,
or it can be operated on a flat surface. Install the charger in an area that is free from
excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The ambient temperature must be in the range
5° C to 39° C (41° F to 102° F). The charger will not charge batteries outside
of this temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that
the charger be operated at room temperature – a temperature range between
18° C to 25° C (64° F to 77° F).
The charger can consume up to 2A @ 120VAC or 1A @ 240VAC. Check to ensure
the mains circuit supplying the charger is adequate for this loading (especially if
several chargers are being powered from the same circuit).
After unpacking the unit:
• Visually check the charger for damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
A green indicator in the lower-right lights to indicate power is present. All charge
indicators flash momentarily at powerup to indicate that the charger is ready for
operation.
If you choose to wall mount the charger, follow the instructions packaged with the
mounting bracket kit. Be sure to locate the charger in an area where there is no risk
of injury to persons walking in the vicinity.
The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted lights up immediately.
A solid yellow LED indicates that the battery is being charged. If the battery
temperature is outside 5° C to 39° C (41° F to 102° F), the LED flashes yellow until the
temperature is acceptable. A fully discharged battery will normally take between 1.5
and 4 hours to charge. When the battery charge reaches 75%, the indicator flashes
green. At full capacity, it turns solid green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery
cannot be overcharged if left in the charger slot. The 75% charge indicator is handy
if you need a quick recharge – it often occurs after less than an hour.
6.5.5 Troubleshooting
6.5.5.1 Excessive Charge Duration
The charger is equipped with a recalibration function – a function that fully
discharges and then fully recharges the battery. This process is necessary to
recalibrate the battery capacity gauge internal to the battery. The charger attempts
recalibration when:
• the battery capacity is at less than 30%, and
• the battery has undergone more than 40 partial charge cycles since the last
full discharge.
A complete battery discharge takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to complete. When in
discharge mode, the LED indicator flashes yellow. The recalibration function
extends the charge time by up to 2 hours.
6.6.1 Installation
Keep the combo charger away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The
combo charger will not charge batteries outside an ambient temperature range of
5° C to 39° C (41° F to 102° F). It is recommended that this charger be operated at
room temperature – between 18° C and 25° C (64° F to 77° F) for maximum
performance.
6.6.6 Troubleshooting
The gang charger troubleshooting section also applies to the combo charger. Refer
to “Troubleshooting” on page 218, for helpful tips.
6.7.1 Installation
Refer to the “Installation” guidelines for the combo charger beginning on page 219.
• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (shipped with the combo dock)
between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.
A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is
established.
A user application needs to be loaded onto each 7530 G2 that utilizes the combo
dock for communication. With the network connected and this application loaded,
the combo dock is ready for use.
6.7.4 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting issues for the combo dock are identical to those of the quad dock.
Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 224 for helpful tips.
6.8.1 Installation
The quad dock should be located away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants.
The ambient temperature must fall between 5° C to 39 °C (41° F to 102° F). The
7530 G2 internal charger will not charge batteries outside of this temperature range.
For maximum performance, it is recommended that the quad dock be operated at
room temperature – from 18° C to 25° C (64° F to 77° F).
The quad dock can consume up to 3A @ 120VAC or 1.5A @ 240VAC. Ensure that
the mains circuit supplying the unit is adequate, especially if several docks are being
powered from the same circuit.
After unpacking the unit:
• Visually inspect the unit for any damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate
that power is present.
• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network
and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.
A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is
established.
A user application must be loaded onto each 7530 G2 that utilizes the quad dock for
communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the
quad dock is ready for use.
6.8.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking
station are installed on the 7530 G2 – no indicators or applications are present on the
docking station itself.
The Portable Docking Module (PDM) clips onto the base of the 7530 G2 and is
most often used to charge the 7530 G2 battery when a desktop charger is not
convenient. The PDM also offers additional communication ports, making it useful
for upgrading software in the 7530 G2 from a USB-equipped laptop computer.
Figure 6.2 on page 227 illustrates the connectors on the PDM.
• Align the pins on the PDM with the connectors on the base of the 7530 G2.
• Gently snap the PDM into place on the base of the unit. Figure 6.1 on
page 226 provides a visual representation of how to secure the PDM.
Note: The latching mechanism on the PDM is designed for quick installation
and release. It is not meant for heavy duty use.
Guide Pins
The7530 G2 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module
and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for
the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7530 G2 picker cradle is compatible with all
of them.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black
lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal
block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used
with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is
preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned
on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for
long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the
switch.
Keep in mind that the 7530 G2 will continue to operate with or without vehicle
power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be
added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the
cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
