USE AND FUNCTIONING 4.9 4 DATALOGIC FIRMWARE UTILITY The Datalogic devices are equipped with a field upgradeable firmware mechanism. Firmware updates are available on the Datalogic Mobile website (http://www.mobile.datalogic.com/). After you have downloaded the desired update, there are several ways you can update the firmware on your device. • Use Wavelink Avalanche™ if you have multiple Datalogic mobile devices to update. Refer to the Product CD included with your device for more information.
FALCON™ X3 4 4.9.2 Installing DFU on the Host PC The Datalogic Firmware Utility (DFU) provides administrators with a field ® upgrade mechanism. You must have Microsoft ActiveSync already loaded and running on the host PC to use DFU. Refer to "Installing & Setting Up Microsoft ActiveSync" and "Using ActiveSync" for more information about ActiveSync. Prior to installing, you must remove any previous versions of DFU installed on the host PC.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 4.9.3 4 Updating the Firmware After copying the firmware image to the host PC (see par. 4.9.1) and installing DFU (see par. 4.9.2), you can upgrade the firmware on your Datalogic device. NOTE 1. 2. The following steps require that you have already established an ActiveSync connection between the host computer and the Datalogic device.
FALCON™ X3 4 7. DFU will compare the selected firmware image with the firmware already loaded on the device; if the images are different, DFU will proceed to update the firmware image on your device. NOTE 8. The following steps require that you have already established an ActiveSync connection between the host computer and the Datalogic device.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 3. 4 If you are using serial, then select the specific COM port to which the dock is connected. DFU will display the COM ports available on your PC in a drop down list. 4. Click browse (...) and navigate to the file location. 5. Select the current *.img file and click Open. 6. Verify that the device is turned on. Insert the device into a powered dock connected to the host computer. 7. Click Update on DFU on the host PC. 8. DFU will restore the firmware on your device.
FALCON™ X3 4 4.10 SUSPEND MANAGEMENT Suspend Management allows the user to keep device features powered while the device is off. The term "device off" here refers to a condition where the display is off and the device appears unpowered. The device CPU may in fact be powered on. The features managed by this feature are: Cellular Data/Voice and GPS. NOTE The WiFi driver has been measured to consume about 50 µA when left powered. As a result, WiFi will always be left powered during suspend.
USE AND FUNCTIONING 4 respond within five seconds, the device will power off, but leave features as they were. 4.11 HEAT MANAGEMENT The purpose of heat management is to automatically reduce the heat generated by the device features in order to allow battery charging to take place when needed. It does not have a control panel UI to configure it. Instead, its behavior can be configured through changes to the registry.
4 NOTE 70 FALCON™ X3 Device features that can be disabled by the heat management function can still be manipulated by other software. This decision is made to preserve the existing software layers (such as the network stack) which we cannot change. As a result, it is possible (but not likely) that unusual race conditions may result from two pieces of software both trying to control a feature.

SAFETY REGULATIONS NOTE Read this manual carefully before performing any type of connection to the Falcon X3 mobile computer. The user is responsible for any damages caused by incorrect use of the equipment or by inobservance of the indication supplied in this manual. GENERAL SAFETY RULES − Use only the components supplied by the manufacturer for the specific Falcon X3 being used.
LASER SAFETY The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window indicated in the figure. This information applies to both laser models and the Falcon X3 Imager Aiming System.
D F La luce laser è visibile all'occhio umano e viene emessa dalla finestra indicata nella figura. I Die Laserstrahlung ist für das menschliche Auge sichtbar und wird am Strahlaustrittsfenster ausgesendet (siehe Bild). Le rayon laser est visible à l'oeil nu et il est émis par la fenêtre désignée sur l'illustration dans la figure. La luz láser es visible al ojo humano y es emitida por la ventana indicada en la figura.
ENGLISH The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international authorities and refers to the correct use of your mobile computer. STANDARD LASER SAFETY REGULATIONS This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both CDRH 21 CFR 1040 Subchapter J and EN 60825-1:2007 at the date of manufacture. For installation, use and maintenance, it is not necessary to open the device. CAUTION Do not attempt to open or otherwise service any components in the optics cavity.
Non tentare di accedere allo scomparto contenete i componenti ottici o di farne la manutenzione. ATTENZIONE L’apertura dello scomparto, o la manutenzione di qualsiasi parte ottica da parte di personale non autorizzato, potrebbe violare le norme della sicurezza. Il sistema ottico può essere riparato solamente alla fabbrica. L'utilizzo di procedure o regolazioni differenti da quelle descritte nella documentazione può provocare un'esposizione pericolosa a luce laser visibile.
Jegliche Änderungen am Gerät sowie Vorgehensweisen, die nicht in dieser Betriebsanleitung beschrieben werden, können ein gefährliches Laserlicht verursachen. ACHTUNG Der Produkt benutzt eine Laserdiode. Obwohl zur Zeit keine Augenschäden von kurzen Einstrahlungen bekannt sind, sollten Sie es vermeiden für längere Zeit in den Laserstrahl zu schauen, genauso wenig wie in starke Lichtquellen (z.B. die Sonne).
ATTENTION L’utilisation d’instruments optiques avec le scanneur augmente le danger pour les yeux. Les instruments optiques comprennent les jumelles, les microscopes, les lunettes et les verres grossissants. ESPAÑOL Las informaciones siguientes son presentadas en conformidad con las disposiciones de las autoridades internacionales y se refieren al uso correcto del terminal.

GLOSSARY Access Point A device that provides transparent access between Ethernet wired networks and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile units. Hand-held mobile computers, PDAs or other devices equipped with radio cards, communicate with wired networks using Access Points (AP). The mobile unit (mobile computer) may roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless connection to the wired network.
gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions. EDGE Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE is considered a 3G radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition. EEPROM Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only memory. An on-board nonvolatile memory chip.
IEEE 802.11 A set of standards carrying out wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. They are created and maintained by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly.
channel into six time slots, with each signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1 gain in capacity over advanced mobile-phone service (AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission. USB Universal Serial Bus. Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer.
