Introduction General description Nylux is a professional PDA with a Linux-based operating system (kernel 2.6.18) equipped with a 520 MHz PXA270 processor. The following chapter describes the terminal's components and basic information for its initial use. The following are specifically described:...
Battery charger Audio jack connector Strap Battery cover Figure 2: Nylux rear view 1.1 Initial use of the terminal Carry out the following steps for initial use : install the main battery in the terminal • charge the main battery •...
Figure. 1.1.a Figure. 1.1.b Figure. 1.1.c Figure. 1.1.d Figure. 1.1.e Figure. 1.1.f 1.1.2 Main battery charging Connect the power supply unit provided (see figure 1.1.h) to the electricity mains using the appropriate cable. Insert the Jack connector into it's appropriate socket marked by a white 'arrow' on the upper part of the lateral connector compartment (see indications in figure 1.1.i and figure 1.1.l with connector inserted).
LED turns orange during boot loader execution, after which the actual operating system starts up, the display lights up, the 'Nylux' logo appears and the orange LED simultaneously turns off; after a few seconds the start up procedure is completed.
Once the battery cover has been removed (see figure 1.4.a and 1.4.b), insert the SD card with its gold contacts facing downwards (see figure 1.4.c) into the relative slot located between the battery and the keyboard finally, push carefully the card into the terminal using a finger (see figure 1.4.d) until the locking spring clicks, then close the battery cover (see figure 1.4.e and 1.4.f).
As previously explained in section 1.1.3, press and hold down the ON/OFF button until the red LED on the left above the terminal display lights up. At the start-up of Nylux, a splash screen appears showing the different boot phases (Kernel Start-up, Server X and Windows Manager).
Click the “Keyboard Input” icon in the Status Bar to visualize/hide the virtual keyboard. Use of the virtual keyboard enables to write information in the currently active programs. The virtual keyboard provided by Nylux has three different layout modes: alpha numeric and function. The different layout modes are easily visible by clicking on the keys...

The following procedure for formatting the memory card must be carried out if this is the first time the card is used. Firstly, the memory card must be partitioned after starting up a Nylux console (example made using a 1GB SD card)
If the mount is successful, no errors messages will appear. To verify that the operation was correct: # mount | grep mmc The result will be as follows: /dev/mmca1 on /mnt/mmc type ext2 (rw) The memory card has now been mounted on the filesystem and is ready for use. In order to achieve automatic memory card installation at start-up the relative line has to be modified to /etc/ fstab APPENDIX C Laser reader...

Standard performance at 23°C with high-quality coding LED and BUZZER reading The bi-colour red/green LED situated in the upper left part of the terminal (see figure 1 page 3), indicates scanning status: when the 'SCAN' key is pressed the LED lights up red; once the barcode has been read and correctly coded, the LED turns green and the Buzzer sends out a sound signal.

Laser reader configuration The Scanwedge application carries out laser configuration and enables operation of the laser reader by redirecting the read codes to the active window. The application that implements Scanwedge to operate is called ‘scand daemon’: this application must be started by a script wrapper (/sbin/scanwedge) that provides the settings for several environment variables and starts up scand with the appropriate parameters.
Do not put the battery in ovens or driers. Do not throw the battery in a fire • If you think your device or battery is damaged, call Bancolini customer services to organize a general • inspection. APPENDIX E Safety provisions for class II laser use Protective Housing Statements CAUTION - CLASS 2 LASER LIGHT WHEN OPEN, DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM.
