NOTICE
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is possible that the Wasp
WPA206 may not power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage.
In the above situation, plug the WPA206 to the RS232 or USB cable which is with DC in port
orputthe unit intotheWaspWPA206Cradle(with12V/2AAC-DCadapter),and rechargethe
unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.
Thebackupbatterywillcharge from externalpowerorthe main battery(ifthemainbattery still
hasenoughpowertoturnon). Inthe event themainbatteryisfullycharged,refrainfrom using
the WPA206 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery.
Backing-updataby backupbattery only withoutthe main batteryinstalled in batterycompart-
mentmaytakeaslongas 6 hours. Therefore,inordertopreventdata protection failure dueto
backup battery failure, do not leave the WPA206 without the rechargeable battery pack in-
stalled,or withoutconnection toAC power for an extendedperiod of time.

First Steps with the Wasp WPA206
There are three ways to provide power to the WPA206:
NOTE: Data you enter may not be properly stored until the built-in backup battery
has been adequately charged. Please be remided to turn on the back up battery
before you charge the terminal.
Installing the Battery Pack
Remove the battery compartment door
(located on the lower back side of the unit)
by using the screw driver of Stylus.
Position the battery pack with the label side towards you,
and the battery pack strap towards the bottom of the unit.
Insert and fully seat the battery pack, making sure the
shape of the battery pack fits the shape of the battery
compartment.
Docking Station
RS232/Charging cable or USB/Charging cable
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack

Product Reference Guide
Or place the WPA206 into the Docking
Station (first connect the power supply
to the Docking Station).
Connect the RS232/Charging Cable or USB/
Charging Cable to the WPA206, and then
connect the AC adapter to the cable’s power
jack and an electrical outlet.
Supplying Power to the WPA206
3. Position the battery pack and install the battery
compartment door by using sylus screw driver.
Charging the Main and Backup Batteries for the First Time
It may take up to 16 hours to fully charge the empty backup battery. The first time
charge should be for at least 16 hours to insure a proper charge.
CAUTION: Operating the WPA206 for the first time without the AC adapter,
and without fully charging the backup battery may result in loss of data
stored in RAM memory.

10 Wasp WPA206
If a PCMCIAcard is inserted into the WPA206 without
previously attaching a Pulling Tag, the card can be
removed by affixing a length of adhesive tape to the
surface of the card and pulling the card out by pulling
outward on the piece of tape.
PCMCIA Pulling Tags
Pulling Tags simplify the removal of PCMCIAcards from the
WPA206. Before inserting a PCMCIA card, remove one of the
three Pulling Tags from the Pulling Tag sheet and adhere it to
both sides of the PCMCIA card, leaving a short (approx. ½”) tab.
To remove the PCMCIAcard, simply pull outward on this tab.
Using the Stylus
CAUTION: Never use anything other than the WPA206’s stylus on
the screen. Using another object as a stylus could cause perma-
nent damage.
To write data into a field on a form, use the stylus to print the letters
or numbers. Use very light pressure.
3.
To make a choice from a menu, lightly tap the tip of the stylus on
that choice.
2.
Hold the stylus as you would a pencil.1.
Front side of PCMCIA card
Insert CF card to WPA206
Find the CF drawer from WPA206 package, insert CF card to
the CF drawer. Then insert the CF drawer to the WPA206 and
place the CF slot door. Re-install the battery door to WPA206
with screw driver of WPA206 stylus.
