Chapter 2: Getting to Know the EP10
Uploading Data in a Docking Station
24 EP10 Hand-Held (Windows Embedded 6.5) User Manual
A ‘never used’ Lithium-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or
no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.
2.8 Uploading Data in a Docking Station
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transac-
tion data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP connec-
tions to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When an EP10 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in
the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The EP10 also detects the presence of the
Ethernet network.
2.9 Bluetooth Radio
The EP10 is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short
range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to
use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other
Bluetooth devices. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 180 for setup details.
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your EP10 before performing data uploads.
Note: Refer to “Chargers and Docking Stations” on page 223 for more details.
Note: Integrated Bluetooth radios are standard on EP10 units. Keep in mind also that
Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11g on a single EP10.
