Introduction
Janam’s XG Series has been optimized to meet the unique requirements of mobile workers in
warehouses, distribution centers, loading docks and other operating venues where rugged gun-shaped
mobile computers are deployed. While its center-weighted ergonomic design makes it uniquely
balanced and light, the XG105 is a powerful workhorse that delivers state-of-the-art computing
performance in an exceptionally rugged package. Designed for the work at hand, the XG105 delivers
superior performance and flexibility at a great price.
About the Janam XG105
The XG105 has a light, sleek, highly-functional form factor for intensive barcode scanning. Its unique
center-weighted ergonomics, with battery located in the handle, make it light and balanced in the
hand. It features a 3.7” Color TFT color, VGA display, Marvell XScale PXA320 624MHz processor,
robust 802.11 b/g or a/b/g Summit WLAN radio with Cisco’s CCX v4 support. It has an extra-wide
keypad area with large, well-spaced keys and superior backlighting. The XG105 meets IP64 sealing
requirements, withstands multiple 6’ drops to concrete on all sides across a wide temperature range
and 2,000 tumbles in a rotating test chamber.
Further enhancing its value, the XG105 features Motorola’s SE965, best-in-class, miniature, high-
performance scan engine for both close-range and distance barcode scanning as well as reliable
capture of damaged barcodes or those obscured by shrinkwrap.

Install the Battery
Installing the battery:
1. Insert the top of battery into chamber opening and gently slide battery into battery chamber.
Do not force past point of resistance.
2. Turn the battery so that the base of the battery is perpendicular to the gun handle. This aligns
the battery notches with the battery chamber which is required to insert the battery completely.
Once the battery is properly aligned with the handle, press the battery into the battery
chamber.
3. Turn the battery base clockwise until the base of the battery is parallel with the device. The
battery release plunger will click and lock the battery into place.
Removing the battery:
1. To remove the battery, fully press the battery release plunger and hold while rotating the
battery counter-clockwise until it stops (battery base will be perpendicular to device gun
handle).
2. Grip the battery base and pull battery from battery chamber.
