® Falcon X3 Quick Reference Guide
1 1.1 INTRODUCTION DATALOGIC FALCON X3™ DESCRIPTION The new Datalogic Falcon mobile computer takes the Falcon’s industry leading form factor to the next level of performance in ergonomics, computing and ease of use. The Falcon continues the tradition of being a product suitable for warehouses and large retail stores while expanding its abilities into the toughest logistics environments.
F3 – Ergonomic & Rugged Form The Falcon comes in two form factors to tackle the differing scanning intensities found in an enterprise. A pistol grip version with numeric keypad tackles the high volume scan and quantity entry found at the receiving dock. While a hand held with alpha numeric keypad better suits the lighter pick and pack duty of preparing goods for shipment. The Falcon’s low weight balances a large 3.
added security the Falcon can be implemented with Wavelink CE Secure and Wavelink Certificate Manager. Wavelink Communicator provides 100% client-side push-to-talk capabilities. 1.2 MODEL DESCRIPTION The brand new Datalogic FALCON™ is available in different models depending on the options it is equipped with.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference, and • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.’ “The User is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Datalogic for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2 BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE NOTE CAUTI ON 2.1 Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is to charge them. See below. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.
NOTE NOTE NOTE Even if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF). The Batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0° to +40 °C (+32° to +104 °F). For the GSM models the maximum recommended temperature is + 35° C. At higher values the charging may slow down.
2.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK To correctly replace the battery pack, proceed as follows. 1. Turn off the Datalogic FALCON™. 2. Press the latch release and lift battery from the enclosure as indicated in the figure below: 4.
Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by authorized personnel and following this manual. WARNING The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explosion.
WARNING Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs, immediately wash the affected area with water and consult a doctor. Do not solder directly onto the battery pack. Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
2.3 CLEANING THE MOBILE COMPUTER Periodically clean the Datalogic FALCON™ with a slightly dampened cloth 3 CONNECTIONS 3.1 USB CONNECTION You can use any standard mini USB cable to directly connect the Datalogic FALCON™ to a host computer to transfer data through the USB interface.
