“Battery Details” on page 21. Replacing the Battery Pack Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switching Omnii On and Off” on page 15). However, assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of 4 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.
Page 29: Switching Omnii On And Off

The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capac- ity at which Omnii will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, Omnii shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
Page 36: The Keyboard
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii The Keyboard Normally it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The Omnii intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.
Page 37: Regular Keys
The [ENTER/Power] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions as well as to power the unit on and off (for details refer to “Switching Omnii On and Off” on page 15). Note: 55-key and 66-key keyboards are equipped with a [Power] button. For these keyboards, the [ENTER] key does not switch the unit on or off.
Page 38: Modifier Keys
The [SCAN] Key Omnii is equipped with a single [SCAN] key on the keyboard and an extra [SCAN] button located on the left side of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.
Page 39: Activating Modifier Keys
3.3.3 Function Keys and Macro Keys In addition to the standard keyboard functions (see “The Keyboard” on page 22), Omnii supports function keys and macro keys. All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Open TekTerm applica- tion utilizes these keys (for detailed information, see the Open TekTerm Software User Manual, PN 8000073).
Page 40: Macro Keys
Important: Refer to “Keyboard Macro Keys” on page 77 for details about creating macros. Several of the Omnii keyboards are equipped with a series of macro keys that can be programmed to replace frequently used keystrokes, along with the function of executable keys like the [ENTER/Power] key, the [BACKSPACE] key, any function key and arrow key, etc.
Page 41: The Keypad Backlight
Calibrating the Touchscreen If your Omnii touchscreen has never been calibrated, or if you find that the stylus pointer is not accurate when you tap on an item, use the Stylus Properties dialog box in the Control Panel to recalibrate the screen.
Page 42: Indicators
• Follow the directions on the calibration screen to calibrate the screen. Indicators Omnii uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), onscreen messages, vibrations, and audio tones as indicators. 3.5.1 LEDs Omnii is equipped with four coloured LEDs. This section outlines what these LEDs indicate.
Page 43: Battery Charge Status Led
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Omnii LEDs 3.5.1.1 Battery Charge Status LED The far left LED is reserved for battery charge status. This indicator is active even when the hand-held is in- serted in a docking station (and in suspend mode) so that the charge status of the battery can be detected easily.
Page 44: Onscreen Indicators
Figure 3.4 Taskbar The taskbar changes dynamically, and only those icons that are applicable are displayed. For example, if a radio is not installed in your Omnii, the radio signal icon is not displayed in the taskbar. ® Windows Start Button If you are using the touchscreen, you can either tap the Windows icon at the bottom left of the screen, or press the [Windows] key to display the Start Menu, and then tap on the desired application.

Page 49: Navigating Using A Touchscreen
Refer to “Calibrating the Touchscreen” on page 27. Omnii comes equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen. You can also use gestures with your fingers. You can use two gestures: pan and flick.
Page 50: The Taskbar
The Taskbar Omnii is equipped with a taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It displays icons through which you can view the battery capacity and radio signal quality of your unit. If the hand-held is attached to a charger, cradle, docking station, or Snap Module, an associated icon is displayed.

Page 59: Cleaning Omnii
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit. • Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. Omnii has a plastic case that is sus- ceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

Page 70: Bluetooth ® Setup
• Bluetooth headset Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although Omnii in- cludes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously—this has a negative impact on overall system throughput.

The LED on Omnii lights up indicating that the unit has external power and battery charging will begin. It is safe to leave the unit in the desktop docking station while it is not in use—the battery will not be over- charged.
Page 159: Cleaning The Desktop Docking Station
Omnii charge indicator LED stays off. When Omnii is docked into a powered desktop docking station and the Omnii charge indicator LED stays off, there could be a problem with the hand-held or with the docking station. Use a hand-held with a properly functioning charge indicator to isolate the problem.
Page 160: Quad Docking Station - Model No. St4004
DC IN connector RJ45 Ethernet ports The ST4004 Quad Docking Station is designed to accept up to four Omnii hand-held computers. The docking station powers the units and their internal battery charger. The docking station also connects up to four of the hand-held computers to a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network and allows for Ethernet data transfer.

When the battery finishes charging, the LED turns solid green. • To remove Omnii, push down on the release mechanism on the front face of the docking bay. The hand- held will detach from the docking bay release arms and can be pulled up and out.
Page 162: Cleaning The St4004
When Omnii is docked in a powered ST4004 and the hand-held’s charge indicator LED stays off, there may be a problem with Omnii or with the docking station. Make sure a battery is installed in the Omnii, otherwise use an Omnii with a properly functioning charge indicator to isolate the problem.

• Slide Omnii into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on Omnii to be certain that it is secure.
Page 166: Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold Omnii firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least 100,000 insertion and removal cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock Omnii securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion. Partial disassembly is required.
Page 167: Wiring Guidelines
For a diagram of a power with communications setup, see “Connecting ST1002 to vehicle power and com- munications in a typical setup” on page 155. The Omnii charging LED (see “Battery Charge Status LED” on page 29) indicates that external power is available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.
Page 168: Extreme Wet Environments
Keep in mind that Omnii will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge. If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440-300) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable).
Page 169 Note: The serial port is 5 VDC, 1 A maximum power out and is defaulted to off. To enable power to this port, in your Omnii desktop, go to Control Panel>Scanners, which opens the Scanner Settings menus. In the Ports menu, select ON for the Power parameter under the COM6 port.
