This chapter repeats—with a few more details—the
installation instructions in the Quick Start Guide that
came with your Field PC.
Step 1: Install the battery
pack
Carefully unhook and lift up the
bottom hook of the hand strap, as
shown in the first picture.
WARNING! Releasing the hand strap
hook too quickly may result in injury
or damage to the display. Use caution
when undoing the hook or when
holding the Field PC by its hand strap.
Press on the battery door and slide the
door latch to the right to unlock it, as
shown in the second picture.
Remove the battery door.
Insert the battery pack so battery
contacts match up.
Insert the tabs on the bottom of the
battery door into the case slots. Close
the battery door.
Press on the battery door. Slide the latch to the left
to lock it.
Reattach the hand strap.

Step 2: Charge the battery
pack
Mount the plug onto the wall charger (if it is not
already assembled).
Plug the wall charger into an outlet.
Plug the other end of the wall
charger into the DC jack on the Field
PC. The device turns on after a few
seconds, and a flashing red light
signals the device is charging.
Charging the Field PC for 4.5 hours
charges it up to 95%. Let the device charge for
6 hours to get a full charge. Note: If the Field PC
suspends and the flashing red LED turns off, the
device keeps charging.
Charging temperatures
Only charge your battery pack in temperatures between
32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C). For best results, charge
the battery pack at room temperature (68°F or 20°C).
Step 3: Establish basic
settings on the device
Using the stylus, follow the instructions on the screen to
calibrate the device and establish basic settings.
We recommend creating a name for the Field PC so
external devices like desktop computers or devices that
use Bluetooth®technology can differentiate the Field PC
from other devices more easily.

To create a name, follow these steps:
Tap Start > Settings.
From the System tab, tap About. The About window
appears.
Select the Device ID tab at the bottom of the screen.
Type in a device name. An example of a device name
appears below.
Your Field PC is now field ready. If you have Windows®
2000 or Windows®XP, follow the next steps to install
ActiveSync, which allows you to install programs onto
your device using a desktop computer.
Note to Microsoft Windows®Vista®users: You have
basic file synchronization capability with your desktop
computer without installing any additional software.
To access these basic sync options, connect the Field
PC to the desktop computer using a USB cable. For full

synchronization support such as Microsoft Outlook®
contacts, email, calendar, notes, and tasks, download
and install Windows Mobile Device Center through
Windows Update on the Start menu of your desktop
computer.
Step 4: Install ActiveSync
on a desktop computer
If you use Windows®2000 or Windows®XP, Windows
Mobile®5.0 requires that you use Microsoft ActiveSync
4.1 or greater to
connect to your
desktop computer.
The Getting Started
Disc installs
ActiveSync 4.5
on your desktop
computer.
Insert the
Getting Started
Disc into your desktop computer. A window appears
on the display, as shown.
Select your language.
If ActiveSync 4.5 or greater has not been installed on
your desktop computer, follow the directions on the
screen to install it.
Note: Install ActiveSync before attaching the USB
cable to the desktop or Field PC.

Step 5: Create an
ActiveSync connection
Plug USB Client end (mini B) of the USB
communications cable into your Field PC.
Plug the USB Host end (full size A) of the USB
communications cable into your desktop computer.
Establish an ActiveSync partnership by following the
instructions on the desktop computer screen.
You are now ready to use your Field PC. See the
Reference Guide on the User Documentation CD for
instructions on specific tasks.

Dispose of the battery pack properly. See the section
called Disposing of your Field PC and battery packs
in this manual for instructions.
Do not install the battery pack backwards so that the
polarity is reversed.
Do not connect the positive terminal and the
negative terminal of the battery to each other with
any metal object (such as wire).
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
Do not place the battery pack in direct sunshine.
In the rare event that the battery pack leaks and fluid
gets into the eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with
water and immediately seek medical care.
Equipment warnings
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electrical shock, fire or damage to the equipment:
Plug the wall charger into an electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by
unplugging the wall charger from the electrical outlet
or unplugging the synchronization cable from the
host computer.
Do not place anything on the wall charger cord or
any of the other cables. Arrange them so that no one
may accidentally step on or trip over them.
Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging the
wall charger from the electrical outlet, pull on the
plug, not the cord.
Use only wall chargers intended for the Field PC. Using
any other external power source can damage your
product and void your warranty.

U.S. Regulatory Wireless Notice
WARNING! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
Although the radiated output power of the Field PC
is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, the
device should be used so that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid
the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, minimize human proximity to the
antenna.

Regulatory information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is used in a commercial or residential environ-
ment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with
the reference guide, may cause harmful interference to
radio communication. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

uct employ special provisions to avoid radio interference
and should not be altered or substituted.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to the Field PC that
are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION: Although the radiated output power of this de-
vice is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, the
device should be used in ways that minimize the potential
for human contact during normal operation.
This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunc-
tion with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada Notice for Class B Digital Apparatus
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian
ICES-003.
