About the Battery
Charge the Battery
The computer uses a rechargeable 3.6 V Li-ion battery as its main
power source. The battery has a 14.6 watt hour capacity. Several
factors determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness,
display timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and your usage.
ecom recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to
prevent data loss. When you change the battery, the computer
automatically goes into a power-off state and then cold boots.
Contact your local sales representative for replacement batteries.
Caution: The battery used in this device may present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it,
heat it above 100 °C (212 °F), or incinerate it. Dispose of used
batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Caution: Only the ex-battery pack AM CT50 -Ex is allowed to be used.
For more detailed information see the separate Safety Instructions.
Warning: The battery pack must not be removed or installed inside
the ex-hazardous area!

About the Scanner
The internal scanner can read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies,
composite symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-
directional scanning for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The
image engine can also capture black and white images, such as
signatures and pictures of damaged inventory.
How to Scan Bar Codes as Keyboard Input
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active
application as Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard
input, open an application that accepts text input and then scan a bar
code. By default, scan wedging is enabled on the computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner or
applications that receive data through the scan wedge feature. If an
application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled. You can find information on
how to create custom applications for the computer in the
Software
Development Kit (SDK) available for download at
www.honeywellaidc.com.

processed by the computer.
Data Processing Settings
Setting Description Default
Wedge Enable or disable sending the bar code data as Android
KeyEvents when sending data to the active application.
The ENTER_DELAY command may be used to insert a
delay between barcodes when wedging the barcode
data into the keyboard buffer. More specifically, a delay
of ENTER_DELAY is inserted whenever the Wedge
encounters a carriage return, line feed, or tab key. Some
applications, such as Excel, may require additional
processing time when advancing to the next input field.
Without a delay, data may arrive faster than the
application can process the data. You can use the
POSTAMBLE command to add a line feed at the end of
each bar code. The units for ENTER_DELAY are
milliseconds. The default value is 200ms.
Customers set wedge mode configuration commands
