ÄÄ Overview of the PTC-860 The Telxon PTC-860 is a battery-powered hand-held computer used to collect, store, and transmit data. The PTC-860 automates your data collection procedures and is custom programmed to efficiently handle your organization’s unique data collection jobs. Options for scanning bar codes and printing are also available.
Through the keyboard Entering data through the keyboard is similar to operating a calculator. As you press a key on the PTC’s keyboard, the corresponding number or letter appears on the display. Pressing the ENTER key stores data in the PTC’s memory. With a bar-code reader A second method of entering data is with a bar-code reader. When you pass the reader across a bar code the PTC is programmed to read, the PTC and reader interpret the data and store it in the PTC’s memory.
Once the host computer receives the data from the PTC, it uses that data to update its master files and records. In some cases, the host computer may even transmit data back to the PTC, asking you, as the PTC’s operator, to perform a new task. © Models This manual covers the three optical models of the PTC-860: PTC-860, PTC-860ES, and PTC-860NI. These three models are similar but have the following differences: • The PTC-860 has a wand port (used to connect bar-code readers) on its side.
ÄÄ Getting started © PTC-860 optical models (PTC-860, PTC-860ES, and PTC-860NI) This manual collectively refers to all three PTC-860 optical models as PTC-860. Instances in which PTC-860 refers specifically to the PTC-860 unit will be obvious (for instance, in a comparison between models). To determine which model you have, refer to the “Models” section on page 15.
1. Remove the PTC from the box. 2. Remove all packing material from the PTC. Save the packing material in case the PTC is ever stored or shipped to Telxon for service. 3. Check the contents of the package to make sure you have received everything ordered. 4. Check the PTC and accessories for shipping damage. Pay particular attention to the PTC case, display lens, and bar-code reader, if included. If anything is missing or damaged, notify your Telxon sales representative.

5. If the AFAT battery pack or the plastic case containing batteries is in the PTC-860’s battery compartment, remove it. Refer to the “Removing the batteries” section on page 44 for the correct procedure. 6. The backup battery switch is located in a small opening just inside the battery compartment and to the right, when the PTC is facedown (see Figure 1). Insert the tip of a pen or pencil into the opening and apply direct pressure to push down the switch. Make sure the switch is pressed down completely. 7.
Equipment required: • One battery charger for each PTC • An electrical outlet within 6 feet (1.8 meters) providing 110 volts AC in the U.S. or Canada or 220 volts AC elsewhere Note: If you are charging the PTC’s battery pack outside the U.S. or Canada, you need a charger designed for use in a 220-volt AC electrical outlet. The PTC-860 can be recharged either by itself or with a Telxon microprinter attached.
4. Plug the charger into the wall outlet. The green charging indicator above the display lights. 5. Charge the PTC’s battery pack for 14 hours. © Checking the PTC-860 1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn on the PTC. 2. Look at the PTC’s display. What appears on the display depends on the program your organization uses.
ÄÄ Parts Figure 2 shows the parts of the PTC-860. © 25-pin connector On the top of the PTC is a female RS-232-type 25-pin connector for accessories and communication. A cable or the connector on the bottom of some accessories plugs into this connector to communicate with the PTC. The 25-pin connector can also be used to attach the PTC’s battery charger. The connector is between a slot, a screw, and a latch plate, which are used to hold accessories in place when they are connected directly to a PTC.
© Backup battery All models of the PTC-860 have a built-in backup battery. The backup battery provides enough power to protect data stored in the PTC’s memory when the main batteries are being changed or if they run out of power. A switch inside the PTC, accessible through the battery door, lets you turn on the backup battery. The PTC-860 is shipped from the factory with this switch turned off to conserve the backup battery power.

CAUTION! Do not use a bar-code reader with a PTC-860NI in a hazardous location. Accessories are approved for use with the PTC-860NI only in non-hazardous locations. The bar-code reader lets you enter data into your PTC by passing the reader across bar-code labels (scanning). Your PTC’s data collection program determines the types of bar-code labels you can read. © Battery charger The battery charger is used to recharge the nickel-cadmium battery pack in the PTC.
© Battery recharge posts The battery recharge posts, one on each side of the optical coupler, make contact with spring-loaded posts on an optical communication cradle and are used to recharge the PTC’s nickel-cadmium battery pack. © Display The PTC-860’s display screen shows the information you type or scan into the PTC and messages and instructions from the PTC or the host computer. The screen is a supertwist liquid crystal display (LCD).
Data keys are the letter and number keys, A-Z and 0-9. You use them to type data into the PTC. Function keys include the F1-F5, CLEAR, ENTER/YES, and SEND keys. These keys may have different labels on your PTC. They are used to perform a special procedure or function. For example, your program may use the SEND function key to transmit the PTC’s data to the host computer. ENTER/YES key How you use the ENTER/YES key depends on your organization’s data collection program.
© Keyboard overlay The keyboard overlay is a small sheet of plastic cut out to fit over the PTC’s keyboard. Labels for the special function keys used by your organization’s data collection program are printed on the overlay. © Optical coupler On the back of the PTC-860 is a small red window. Behind the window are five LEDs that the PTC can use to communicate with your host computer.
ÄÄ Features © Automatic off To conserve battery power, the PTC-860 turns itself off automatically after approximately 1 minute of inactivity. The exact length of time depends on the program. © Automatic return at on When you turn the PTC-860 off (or when the PTC-860 turns itself off), it remembers where it was in the data collection program. Then, when you turn the PTC-860 back on, it returns to that same point in the program.
© Beeper The PTC-860’s internal beeper is used by the PTC and your data collection program to warn you of problems or to prompt you to take an action. For example, if your program has temporarily turned off a key, the PTC beeps if you press it. © Clock The PTC-860’s built-in clock keeps track of the date (month, day, year, and day of the week) and the time (hours, minutes, and seconds). The clock operates continuously. How the clock is used depends on your data collection program.
ÄÄ Connecting accessories Many accessories are available for the PTC-860. These include printers, adaptors, modems, and bar-code readers. All accessories connect to the PTC-860ES and PTC-860NI through the 25-pin connector. Bar-code readers can be connected to the PTC-860 through a wand port on the unit’s side. Some accessories plug directly into the 25-pin connector on the PTC; some require a cable between the PTC and the accessory. The same general procedure is used to connect accessories and cables.
FIGURE 3 Accessory fasteners LATCH PLATE LOCKING SLOT LOCKING SCREW 3. If the accessory uses a locking latch, find the latch plate on the top of the PTC. The latch plate has a keyhole-shaped opening in it. Note which side the wider part of the opening is on. See Figure 3. Locate the sliding latch button on the bottom of the accessory; then locate the locking latch on the front of the accessory and slide it into the open position (to the left). See Figure 4. 4.
