Introducing the TRAKKER T2090
The TRAKKER T2090 is a lightweight, pocket-sized computer
and bar code scanner. Designed for one-hand operation, the
T2090 is perfect for repetitive data collection applications, such
as inventory management, route sales, and asset tracking.
The EZDock Docking System serves as a charging and
communications dock and as a storage location for the
TRAKKER T2090. The docking system can be mounted on a
desk, wall, or rack, and multiple cradles can be linked together
for multiple-unit configurations.

About this Guide
This guide contains basic information about operating and
maintaining the TRAKKER T2090. This guide assumes that the
data collection application software has been downloaded to the
unit so that it is ready to be used. For information about writing
a reader application and downloading it to the T2090, see the
TRAKKER T2090 Batch Hand-Held Computer User’s Manual
(Intermec part number 067212).
Safety at a Glance
Your safety is important. Read and follow all warnings and
cautions in this guide. Not following Intermec’s safety
recommendations can result in serious injury to you or damage
to the reader and data. Observe the following safety guidelines.
• Do not repair or adjust the device alone.
• Always obtain first aid or medical attention following an
injury.
• Begin resuscitation immediately if someone stops breathing.
• Never work on energized equipment without proper
authorization.

Charging the Battery
Before using the TRAKKER T2090, you need to fully charge the
battery pack. This takes four hours or less. For information
about replacing the battery pack, see the TRAKKER T2090 Battery
Replacement Instruction Sheet (part number 067378) included with
the battery pack.
To charge the battery:
• Place the unit (turned off) into the EZDock Docking System.
If you are charging the battery for the first time, let it charge
a full four hours.

While the battery is charging, the multi-function LED turns red.
Once charged, the battery continues to receive a “trickle charge”
while sitting in the dock. This is indicated by a steady green
LED. Depending on the application you are running, you can
operate the TRAKKER T2090 from 10 -20 hours on a single
charge.

Using the EZKey Keypad
The TRAKKER T2090’s EZKey keypad has 22 keys, 13 of which
you use to enter the letters A through Z, the numbers 0 through
9, the dash mark (-), period (.), and apostrophe (‘).
The three unlabeled keys just below the display are
programmable function keys. Refer to your application user
manual for information about their use.
To switch the unit on and off:
• Press the I/O power key to turn the unit on and off.
To switch between alpha and numeric modes:
• Press the ⇑key. If the unit is in numeric mode, it switches to
alpha mode, and will stay in alpha mode until you switch it
back to numeric.
When you first start up the TRAKKER T2090, you will see “123”
on the display screen. This indicates that the keypad is in
numeric mode. Pressing the ⇑keytoggles the keypad mode to
alpha and changes the display indicator to “abc.”
To turn the backlight on:
• Press the backlight key.
The backlight automatically turns off when the unit goes into
“sleep” mode, but turns back on when you press any key.
To enter a line of data:
• Press the Enter key.
See “Collecting Data” for more information on entering data into
the TRAKKER T2090.

Collecting Data
To enter numbers:
1. If the keypad is not in numeric mode, press the ⇑key. Now
when you press any letter/number key, you will enter the
number on the key.
2. Press the key(s) labeled with the number(s) you want to
enter. The display shows the number or numbers that you
pressed.
3. Press the ENTER key to complete the data entry.
To enter letters:
1. If the keypad is not in alpha mode, press the ⇑key. Now
when you press any letter/number key, you will enter the
letter shown on the left or right side of the key.
2. Press the key labeled with the letter you want to enter,
pressing on the left or right side of the key, depending on the
letter you want. For example, to enter G, press the key
labeled with G and H, pressing on the left side of the key.
3. Press the ENTER key to complete the data entry.
Note: The ability to correct mistakes is controlled by the application
software you are running. Refer to your application user’s manual for
instructions on making on-screen corrections.

Using the Bar Code Scanner
This section applies only if your TRAKKER T2090 has an
integrated bar code scanner. The application software running
on the unit controls when the bar code scanner is activated.
To scan a bar code:
1. Hold the unit between 1-20 inches from the bar code label.
2. Press and hold the ENTER key. Make sure the red scanner
beam spans the entire bar code. (See the picture below.)
When the scanner is activated, the LED displays red.
Releasing the key prior to a successful ‘read’ will turn off the
scanner and the LED.
If the bar code is read successfully, the LED indicator turns green
for one second. You will also hear a beep if the unit’s audible
feature has been enabled. If the bar code is not read successfully,
the LED indicator turns red for one second. You will also hear a
buzz if the unit’s audible feature has been enabled.
Note: The readability of a bar code depends on the type of bar code
symbology, distance, and the condition or clarity of the printed
material.

10
Transmitting Data
Once you have finished collecting data, either by entering it
manually through the EZKey keypad or scanning bar codes, you
can transmit the data to a host system. To do this, all you do is
place the TRAKKER T2090 in the EZDock Docking System (as
shown in the pictures on pages 2 and 5). When you place the
T2090 in the docking system, the LED lights up and if the
audible feature is enabled, you hear a beep. Data is transmitted
very quickly. For specific information about data transmittal,
refer to your application user manual.
Maintaining the TRAKKER T2090
To keep your TRAKKER T2090 in good working condition, do
the following:
• Store the T2090 in the EZDock Docking System when you are
not using the unit.
• Clean the external case using only a dampened (water only)
chamois or clean cloth. Do not use alcohol or ammonia-based
cleaners. Avoid using fingernails or pointed, sharp objects.
