1. Overview
The DSV2+Turbo is a GSA Approved, NIST FIPS-201 CHUID, mobile hand-held reader with an
integrated fingerprint sensor and Smart Card reader with the capability to identify and
authenticate a PIV card by accessing and authenticating the CHUID stored on the cards as
defined by “SP 800-73, Section 1.8.3.”
The Smart Card reader can read both contact style Smart Cards (ISO 7816 compliant) as well as
RF-based contactless Smart Cards (ISO 14443 compliant). The contact and contactless Smart
Cards can be programmed to contain biometric information that can be verified against the
internal fingerprint sensor using 1-to-1 or 1-to-N fingerprint matching algorithms. The
DSV2+Turbo is applicable for programs such as USVISIT, Transportation Worker ID Card
(TWIC), Common Access Card (CAC), and many other ID card scenarios.
The basic DSV2+Turbo product comes from the factory with a Windows CE .NET, Version 5.00
Operating System, software utilities, and some demo and sample applications. When the unit is
activated, a standard Windows CE desktop is presented that allows users to launch demonstration
programs. The primary human interface is the touch screen, stylus, and function keys.
The internal fingerprint sensor is an 8-bit, grayscale, solid-state, capacitive-touch device that can
capture fingerprint bitmap images measuring 256 pixels wide by 360 pixels high at 500 dpi.
Images from this sensor can be used for a variety of card holder ID validation purposes,
including extraction, matching, and storage of fingerprint minutia templates.

4. Hardware Features
4.1 Keypad
The DSV2+ comes equipped with a backlit, 5-button keypad, shown at
right. The upper four keys are function-keys, and are vertically aligned
along the left side of the LCD display, enabling application software to
position “virtual buttons” appropriately. These keys are initially
programmed as standard “F1” through “F4” keys and are mapped as
cursor (arrow) keys.
Below the four function keys is the power switch. The power switch
has a bi-color (red/green) backlight indicator, which identifies whether
the system is on, charging, or running low on battery power. To turn
the unit on, you must depress and hold the power switch until a single
beep is heard, then immediately release it for an additional two beeps.
Holding the button too long will cause an “error” type beep sound and
the system will not be powered up or down, as the case may be. This
procedure helps to guard against accidental activation or shutdown of
the system.

5. Battery Charging and Replacement
The standard configuration for the DSV2+ uses one 3000 mAh Lithium Polymer battery pack.
There is also an internal, rechargeable coin cell battery that powers the Real Time Clock for
more than 6 months while the unit is off.
NOTES:
1. Scanners should never be operated on AC power alone. A battery should always be
plugged in for reliable operation.
2. The capacity estimates in the following table are worse case results that reflect continuous
use with all power saving options turned off. The scanner is running 1 scan per minute
continuously. Actual capacity numbers should be much better.
3. The battery capacity (hours of use) can be extended by 50% or more by using the power
savings options such as: System Idle or Suspend. These power settings are user
programmable and details can be found in Section 6.6 Power Management.
4. The charge time is the same whether the battery is charged with the unit “On” or “Off”
5. When a DSV2+ terminal is left on the shelf in the “Off” state the battery will maintain its
charge for over 6 months.
Description SC Capacity
(hours of use) Scanner Capacity (hours of use) Charge Time for fully depleted battery Comments
One 3000 mAh battery 5.5 hours N/A 3 hours

6.6.2 Battery Gauge
The DSV2+ battery gauge will help you monitor the battery state and the charge held in the
batteries. The battery gauges can be found in the Control Panel under Power Properties.
Clicking the battery tab displays the DSV2+ battery gauge. The gauge displays three battery
states and three battery charging levels.
Battery States – There are three battery states that are displayed above the Main Battery gauge
(left side). The battery states are as follows:
1. Main Battery – Unit is operating on battery power and no external AC adapter is
connected. The Power LED is Green.
2. External - External AC adapter is connected and the battery is fully charged. The
Power LED is Green.
3. Charging – External AC adapter is connected and the battery is charging. The unit
operates normally while simultaneously charging the battery. The power LED is
Green ÆRed flash
Battery Levels - The three battery levels that are color coded on the battery gauge:
1. Green – Battery charge is Good
2. Yellow – Battery charge is Low
3. Red – Battery charge is Very Low (“Critical”).
As seen in the color coded pie chart below, the three battery levels are not linear. If this were the
gas tank on your car, then “Yellow” would be a quarter of a tank and “Red” would be when the
refuel gas light comes on. When the battery gauge turns “Red”, you should immediately charge
the batteries by connecting the unit to an AC adapter or the unit will automatically shut down
when the voltage level drops below the minimum threshold.
There are four user warnings that occur when the battery level is “Very Low”:
1. The battery gauge turns “Red”
2. The power LED alternately flashes “Red” and “Green”
3. A “Warning” message pops up “Main Batteries Very Low”. This warning will repeat
itself periodically until the condition clears or the unit automatically shuts down.
4. An error beep sounds each time the warning message pops up.

6.7 Safe Boot Mode
The DSV2+ provides a mechanism that permits the recovery of lost or
damaged Operating System files via a “Safe Boot” mode. This
mechanism is similar to Microsoft Windows Safe Mode that is
available on PCs. If one or more Operating System files are damaged
or inadvertently deleted, when the unit is turned on it will automatically
boot-up into a smaller, limited function version of Windows CE that
will permit the recovery of the files or allow them to be replaced or
overwritten. This permits the unit to be repaired and then subsequently
rebooted using the full version of Windows CE. Safe Boot mode can
also be accessed on demand by holding down the F1 key while turning
on the power to the unit. A special bitmap will appear indicating that
the unit is booting-up in Safe Boot mode.
7. Demo Applications and Utilities
All of the applications listed below except “DsVerify2About” are located in the “\Storage
Card\DSVII” directory. The “DsVerify2About” is a hidden file in the Windows directory.
There are additional demonstration programs available as source code for custom software
development in the Datastrip DSVII SDK (sold separately).
7.1 Software Version Utility (DsVerify2About.exe)
This utility reports the OS Version, the versions of all Datastrip
specific drivers and components, software license settings, the unit
serial number, and the HW Configuration. To run this utility:
•Click Start \ Run
•Click Browse then Double tap the Windows folder
•Scroll over and double tap the application:
DatastripDsVerify2About.exe
•Click “OK”
This version information can be saved to a file by clicking on the
“Send to File” button.
7.2 Smart Card Reader & Scanner Demo (SuperViewer.exe)
This application demonstrates the primary features of the DSV2+ products – reading optical or
smart card media and performing one-to-one fingerprint matching. The types of documents
supported include the following document types or symbology that contains Datastrip-formatted
information:
•ISO 7816 Contact Smart Cards
•ISO 14443 Contactless Smart Cards
The following symbologies are supported on DSV2+ scanner products
•Datastrip2D and 2DSuperscript Two-Dimensional Barcodes
•PDF417
•OCRB
•Linear Barcodes
When this application is launched, the Main Screen is displayed and the unit is ready to scan a
document or read a smart card. The application automatically reads and decodes a submitted

document and the result is displayed in the Photo, Text, and Fingerprint windows. If the default
icon or text is displayed, the document did not contain that type of data.
If a fingerprint was stored on the document, the application will also perform a one-to-one match
of a fingerprint stored on the document to the fingerprint captured by the on-board fingerprint
sensor. This demonstrates a typical scenario of verifying that a card holder is the same person
whose fingerprint is stored on the document.
