INTRODUCTION Safety Notes ♦ Store the battery in a location where children cannot reach it. Also make sure that a child does not take out the battery from the charger or equipment being used. If a child swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately. ♦ The storage temperature must not be below –20 or above +60°C. Ambient conditions: ♦ The temperature may not be outside the admissible operating temperature range of -10 to +50 degrees centigrade. The temperature may be within the range of 0 °C to + 40 °C during charging. ♦ Do not discard the battery into fire and do not leave it in a hot place such as near a fire or on a heater. Doing so melt the insulation, damage the sealing parts or protective devices, cause leakage of battery fluid (Electrolyte) from the batteries, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not immerse batteries in water or seawater, and do not allow them to become wet. Batteries which have become wet must always be replaced with new ones because internal short-circuits can cause dangerous heat emissions if further used. ♦ Do not throw batteries, and do not allow them to fall on hard surfaces.

Connection: ♦ Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet, e.g. vehicle cigarette lighter, power outlets, other power supply units, other charger, etc. ♦ Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals when inserting the battery. Since the mechanical design of the battery enables you to insert in one direction only, the battery must not be inserted into the opposite direction by force. Handling: ♦ Protective devices to prevent danger are built into the battery. To ensure for a proper operation, do not disassemble the battery or modify parts of it. If they are damaged, this could result in excessive charging voltage, control loss during charging or discharging, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not disassemble Li-ion bare cells of the battery. There is the danger of flammable fluid being spilt. It may also cause an internal or external short circuit, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not directly solder the battery. Doing so melt the insulation, damage the sealing parts or protective devices, cause leakage of battery fluid (Electrolyte) from the batteries, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with objects such as wire. Short circuiting generates heat which may damage the equipment. In the worst case this could result in leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or pressurised container. This could result in leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not pierce the battery with a nail or other sharp object, hit it with a hammer, or step on it. This could result in leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire.

INTRODUCTION Safety Notes Operation: ♦ For operation of the device use the delivered battery only. Please use the battery only for the determined purpose. ♦ Do not use the battery in any device other than those specified in this manual. Depending on the device being used, doing so may cause abnormal current flow, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. ♦ If the battery becomes discoloured or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal, stop using it. Return it to the distributor or manufacturer from whom you purchased it. ♦ Do not use or leave the battery in very high temperatures (for example, under strong direct sunlight). Otherwise, it may cause leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire or its performance will be degenerate and its service life will be decreased. ♦ To ensure safety, the battery incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it in a location where static electricity is greater than what the manufacturer guarantees. Otherwise, the safety devices may be damaged, causing leakage of battery fluid, expose of fire. ♦ Do not use the battery in other than the following conditions. Otherwise, it can overheat or fire, or its performance will be degenerate and its service life will be decreased. when the battery is charged: 0 °C ~ +40 °C when the battery is discharged or stored: -10 °C ~ +50 °C Note: higher temperatures increase the self-discharge of the battery. ♦ Do not use the battery in combination with primary batteries (such as dry-cell batteries) or batteries of different capacities or brands. That may cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. ♦ Do not connect different assembled batteries together. And also do not connect same assembled batteries in series, unless explicitly instructed by the user information to do so. Charging: ♦ When recharging, only use the battery charger specially provided by Skeye. Failure to follow proper charging procedures may cause excessive voltage, excessive current flow, loss of control during charging, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting, or fire. ♦ Do not use or charge the battery near a heat source such as fire or heater or in extremely hot weather. ♦ Do not charge a battery when it is cold (below 0 °C). This may cause impaired performance and shortening of battery service life. ♦ If a battery is to be used for the first time or it has not been used for a long time, be sure to charge it. Health hazards: ♦ If a battery leaks, and the electrolyte enters the eye, do not rub but rinse out thoroughly under flowing water and then seek medical assistance. Otherwise, eye damage can result. ♦ If a battery leaks and the electrolyte makes contact with clothing or the skin, the skin or clothing must be rinsed out under flowing water in order to prevent damage to the skin.

INTRODUCTION Safety Notes Maintenance, service and disturbances: ♦ Lithium-ion batteries have a predetermined operating life. If the operating time shortens excessively, this means that the battery life has expired. If it comes to that point, stop use immediately and replace with new batteries. ♦ Lithium-ion battery is a designated product of Recycle. The battery after using is a valuable resource. The return of the batteries ensures reuse of the chemicals contained. This recycling process avoids any impact to the environment. Höft & Wessel guarantees that all batteries returned are fed to the recycling process. When a battery is no longer usable, discharge it. When you dispose of the Lithium battery, insulate it by wrapping the terminals with tape. Mixing the battery with other metals or batteries may lead to fire, heat, or explosion. Then, return the battery to Höft & Wessel. As a part of its normal service, Höft & Wessel guarantees that all used batteries are fed to the recycling process. See also extract from BattG (act concerning the placing on the market, collection and environmentally compatible waste management of batteries and accumulators) of 25.06.2009: According to §9, section 1, sentence 1, manufacturers are obliged to take back batteries that have been handed in by distributors or public disposal departments (here, device batteries registered according to §13, sentence 1) free of charge and to treat and recycle them according to §14. Batteries that cannot be treated and recycled shall be disposed of according to §14 ♦ If Lithium-ion batteries are not fully charged after the battery charger’s predetermined charging period has elapsed, stop the charging process. Prolonged charging may cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation or bursting of fire. ♦ If the battery leaks or gives off a bad odor, remove it from any exposed flame. Otherwise, the leaking electrolyte may catch fire, and the battery may explode or fire. ♦ If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharching or storage, immediately remove it from the device or battery charger and stop using it. ♦ In case the battery terminals are dirty, clean the terminals with a dry cloth before use, otherwise, the contact with equipment may cause insufficiency, and power failure or charge failure.

if you do not operate your skeye.allegro for a longer period of time (battery saving) when entering an aircraft. in explosive areas for shipping the skeye.allegro

Removing the battery will delete the RAM after a while (see the following section). In this case, all data in the RAM e.g. installed programs, settings or stored files are lost! If the battery is not inserted, the tightness for the mobile terminal according to IP65 is no longer ensured. Store the mobile terminal in a dry environment.

In case of a fully recharged buffer, the RAM data is stored for 10 minutes. The required charging time is 20 minutes. If the buffer is not completely loaded, the time decreases correspondingly.

We recommend before removing the battery: 1. Save data first, for example: Store important data in the "FlashStorage" folder of your mobile terminal. Mirror your data to an external data carrier (e.g. PC). Back up your data via SysBackup (see chapter 5.5). 2. Suspend the skeye.dart. Then, wait for about 10 sec. Only then the RAM is sustained. 3. At last, remove the battery.

Performing a complete power off: 1. Did you back up your data via SysBackup (see chapter 5.5)? 2. Did you store all important data and programs in the "FlashStorage" folder? 3. Did you mirror all important data to your desktop PC? 4. Did you remove the battery as described in chapter 3.3.2?

FURTHER FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS SysBackup 5.5

SysBackup Using "SysBackup" you can • • •

create restore and delete a backup.

NOTES: ⇒ Backup data saved with SysBackup should only be restored to the image under which they were created. ⇒ If the option for asking the user is deactivated before the backup is created your are not prompted for confirmation after the booting process (see Fig. 32: SysBackup). ⇒ SysBackup only stores and restores data but does not delete them. This might be important in the following szenario: When you need a cleaned up desktop you can delete the "My Computer" and "Recycle Bin" symbols using a setting in "ExplorerConfig" as the symbols are created on the desktop via RegistryKey. However, all other symbols on the desktop are created in the \windows\desktop directory using *.Ink-files. From there, they have to be deleted in the autostart directory using a corresponding batch file as after a cold start of the device these files are automatically stored at this location while booting and are not deleted when you restore a backup.

5.5.1

General Data Backup Windows Embedded CE stores the following in the RAM: • Working memory • Files • Databases • Registry RAM allows for a fast access. If the battery is removed or discharged, the RAM memory contents will be lost. The flash memory contains all data saved in the \FlashStorage folder and subfolders. The data stored in flash memory will persist even if the battery is discharged. This is why important data and programs should be stored in the "FlashStorage" folder. See chapter 5.5.

Back up your data on the skeye.allegro as often as possible. In addition, we recommend mirroring important data to your PC or other storage media.

If there is no backup after a restart or if a backup is not required (e.g. after a warm start) the "Sysbackup" program searches all flash media (including the "FlashStorage" memory card) for the "autostat.exe" application. If such application is found it will be executed. There is an autostart mechanism independent from the registry as Sysbackup will always be automatically performed after the system start. Please note: In case of a restore, all RAM data will be overwritten. All data will be updated to the state prevailing at the time of backup creation.

Charging the Battery in the Communication Cradle The communication cradle provides the charging and operating current for the inserted mobile terminal and includes a charger for a spare battery. Charge battery

in the mobile terminal: • If you cannot switch on the mobile terminal although the battery is inserted or if the mobile terminal displays a message stating that the battery voltage is low, charge the battery. • A message on the mobile terminals screen indicates that the battery is in need of charging. • To charge the battery, place the mobile terminal (including battery) in the communication cradle (connected to power). • If the LED on the mobile terminal is red, the mobile terminal has been placed correctly in the communication cradle. • In addition, the charging process is indicated on the mobile terminals screen. Spare battery: • If you wish to charge a spare battery, place the battery in the communication cradle (connected to power). • If the red LED in front of the spare battery compartment is on, the battery has been inserted correctly in the communication cradle and will be charged.

Charging completed

Mobile terminal: • If the red charging control LED of the mobile terminal changes from permanent shining to flashing, the battery is fully recharged. • The mobile terminal is ready to use. Spare battery: If the red LED in front of the spare battery compartment is just flashing, the spare battery is fully charged

Charging time

• A completely discharged battery HW 19200 will be recharged in approx. 2.5 to 3 hours. If the battery is not fully discharged, the recharging period is shortened accordingly. For a HW 19201 battery, the charging time doubles.

The red charging control LED at the mobile terminal and communication cradle may • • •

be off shine permanently or flash.

It may also indicate possible failures by •

blinking

When flashing, the LED is activated only for a short time. When blinking, the on and off times of the LED are nearly equal. To differ between blinking and flashing, a closer look at the LED is required. However, this is only necessary when the charging process does not start immediately, i.e. the charging control LED does not shine permanently or when the charging process takes remarkably long.
