Installing the Battery Pack

Note: Install the battery door before powering the terminal.
Connect the terminal to one of the Optimus 5100 charging
peripherals to charge the battery pack.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries
with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause dam-
age not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any
non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the
warranty.

Charging the Optimus
Optimus terminals ship with the main battery and the backup battery
significantly discharged of power. Charge the main battery pack with
an Optimus charging device for a minimum of 4 hours before initial
use.
If you remove the battery or it is completely discharged, a fully
charged backup battery will provide approximately 0.5 hours of work
in suspend mode, during which you can change or charge the main
battery pack.
If the backup battery discharges completely, some data will be lost.

Suspending/Resuming Terminal
To put the device into Suspend mode when the terminal is powered
on:
1. Press and release the Power button.
2. To resume from the Suspend mode, press and release the
Power button.
Restarting the Device
In case of a system failure, press the reset button. The Optimus 5100
will restart once the reset button is released.

ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize data (e.g., e-mail, contacts, and calendar between
the terminal and the host workstation (PC):
1. ActiveSync® (version 4.5 or higher) or Windows® Mobile
Device Center (WDMC) must be installed on your PC. You can
download the most current version of ActiveSync or WDMC
from the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/
?LinkId=147001).
Note: Optimus terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed.
ActiveSync on your Optimus terminal works with WDMC on
PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with
ActiveSync on PCs running Windows XP.
2. The Optimus terminal and PC must be configured for the same
communication type.
3. Connect the terminal to the PC (using an Optimus peripheral) to
initiate communication. For additional information on ActiveSync
or Windows Mobile Device Center visit www.microsoft.com.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and
power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or
power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Installing a Memory Card

2. Unlock and remove the battery door.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Slide the MicroSD card in the slot until it clicks.
5. Install the battery.
6. Install and lock the battery door.
7. Power on the terminal.

Using the Scan Engine
Point the aiming beam at a bar code. The aiming beam must align
with the bar code for the best results. Holding the terminal between
4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from a bar code is recommended.
1. Select Start > Programs > Demos > Scan Demo.
2. Point the Optimus terminal at the bar code.
3. Project the aiming beam by pressing and holding the SCAN key.
4. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. For optimum perfor-
mance, avoid reflections by scanning the bar code at a slight
angle.
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded the terminal beeps.
The bar code information is entered into the application in use.

Aiming Beam
The aiming beam is narrower when you hold the terminal closer to a
bar code and the aiming beam is wider when you hold it farther from
the bar code.
The aiming beam must be aimed closer to symbologies that have
smaller bars or elements (mil size). The aiming beam must be aimed
farther from symbologies that have larger bars or elements (mil size).
