DESKTOP COMPUTER SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The computer configuration described below is required to support the installer and the software applica- tions contained on the Microsoft CD-ROM supplied with the CASSIOPEIA. • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or Windows 95 (U.S. version) •...
SETTING UP 1. Load the main batteries. • Be sure to load the main batteries first. The CASSIOPEIA will not operate properly if you load the back- up batteries first. • Loading the back-up batteries first can cause the battery go dead very quickly. Replace the back-up battery whenever the low back-up battery warning message appears on the display.
IMPORTANT BATTERY PRECAUTIONS The CASSIOPEIA has a dual power supply that consists of a battery pack (or ,main batteries) and back-up batteries. Be sure to load the battery pack (or the main batteries) and back-up batteries before using the CASSIOPEIA. Also, charge the battery pack (or replace batteries) as soon as possible at the first sign of low power.
4. Remove the old batteries from the battery holder and load two new ones. • When loading new batteries, make sure that their positive (+) and negative (–) ends are facing correctly. 5. Reattach the battery holder to the CASSIOPEIA. •...

4. Remove the back-up battery compartment cover. Primary Rechargeable back-up back-up battery battery cover cover 5. Remove Screw A and then remove the primary back-up battery holder. 6. Remove the old primary back-up battery. • Do not remove the rechargeable battery while the primary battery is removed. 7.
RESET You should reset the CASSIOPEIA whenever it stops working or whenever some other operational problem has caused it to malfunction. To reset the CASSIOPEIA 1. Press the RESET button with the stylus. • This automatically turns off CASSIOPEIA power. 2.
FULL RESET Perform the full reset when you want to clear all memory contents and settings because memory contents are corrupted, because you have forgotten the security code, or for any other reason. Important The following procedure deletes all data in memory. Be sure to save any important data contents you may need later to a computer disk or other medium.
CONNECTING TO A DESKTOP COMPUTER Use the following procedure to connect the CASSIOPEIA to a desktop computer. Note that exchanging data with a desktop computer requires Microsoft Windows CE Services, which is on the Microsoft CD-ROM that is included with the CASSIOPEIA. Requirements RS-232C cable (supplied with CASSIOPEIA) To connect to a desktop computer...
REPLACING THE PC CARD The CASSIOPEIA comes equipped with a PC card slot that supports memory, modem and other PC cards*. * Use only PC cards that are compatible with the CASSIOPEIA. Important • Be sure to keep the dummy card that comes with the CASSIOPEIA inserted in the card slot whenever you are not using a PC card.
Page 18
Important • Take care to orient the card correctly. The top of the card should be facing in the same direction as the top of the CASSIOPEIA. The card will stop part way into the slot if it is not oriented correctly. •...
REPLACING THE COMPACTFLASH CARD The CASSIOPEIA comes equipped with a card slot that supports CompactFlash cards. Important • If the card stops part way into the slot, do not try to force it. Doing so can damage the card or the CASSIOPEIA.
6. Insert a new CompactFlash card into the slot. • Double-check to make sure that the card is oriented correctly before you insert it into the slot. • Push the card into the slot as far as it will go. Important •...
TECHNICAL REFERENCE About CASSIOPEIA standard interfaces The following describes the interfaces that are equipped on the CASSIOPEIA as standard. Basically, operation should not be expected from any device that is not compatible with these interfaces*. 1. Serial Port: Requires a 16550 compatible UART with FIFO buffer. For RS-232C, Modem, and other connections.
MEMORY BACKUP / RESTORE Make the backup copy by Windows CE Services to your PC before repairing PA-2400U, and restore the data from PC to user’s PA-2400U after repairing. For the details of Backup/Restore, refer to the operation manual of Windows CE Services.
Page 23
6. Click “Full: back up all data” and “Back Up Now”. 7. Confirm the file name of bakup copy and then click “OK”. Backup starts. — 20 —...
Restore Execute Restore after repairing. 1. Turn on the user’s PA-2400U and then Welcome wizard appears. 2. Execute touch panel calibration and then skip other setups after calibration. 3. Connect repaired PA-2400U to your PC with RS-232C cable. 4. Start Windows CE Services on your PC.
