USING THE IDL300 Working with the iDL300 batteries Using the Battery Charger The Battery charger can be used to charge an iDL300 battery outside of the iDL300 device. To operate, the battery charger requires a 12V 2A universal AC power supply unit (PSU) supplied with the iDL300. Connecting power to the battery charger Place the charger on a flat, level surface away from sources of heat and moisture.
USING THE IDL300 Using the battery in your iDL300 Insert the battery into the iDL300 Insert the iDL300 battery as illustrated below. It is recommended to Switch off the iDL300 before removing the batteries. Before using the iDL300 for the first time the removable external batteries MUST be charged. The initial charging cycle for the battery is approximately five (5) hours. Subsequent charging cycles will take up to three (3) hours.
USING THE IDL300 Charging a Battery via the iDL300 The iDL300 was designed to allow the user to charge a battery while it is inserted into the iDL300, allowing continued use of the iDL300 while the battery is charging. This can be done by simply connecting the supplied 12V 2A universal AC power adaptor to the iDL300, and connecting the adaptor to an AC mains power supply. It is important to ensure that the correct supplied 12V 2A universal AC Power Adaptor is used.
USING THE IDL300 Operating your iDL300 iDL300 Front Panel Stylus Actions The stylus is the equivalent of a mouse on the iDL300. Use the stylus on the iDL300 touch-sensitive display. Only a plastic tipped stylus should be used on the touch-sensitive display. The Stylus actions apply to the iDL300 only. SINGLE TAP OR SELECT: Tap the display screen once with the stylus to activate a specific button or select an item. DOUBLE TAP: Tap the stylus twice rapidly in the same location to open an application.
USING THE IDL300 Switching off the iDL300 To switch the iDL300 off, make use of the Windows CE “Start” menu ( ) and select the “Suspend” option. This will display the “Turn of device” screen (refer to the FIGURE 3-1 below). Select the “Shut down” option to switch the iDL300 off. Alternatively, the user can hold the button down for two to three seconds.
USING THE IDL300 Pressing the button ( ) briefly when the iDL300 is in Suspend mode, will resume the device back to its previous state as it was just before it went into the Suspend mode. The device will turn automatically from the Suspend state into „shut down‟ state after a pre-configured time to preserve battery power. When the device is switched off, current running programs and unsaved data will be closed.
USING THE IDL300 Using iDL300 Peripherals The following illustrations demonstrate usage of some of the iDL300 peripherals. Contact Smart Card Reader The iDL300 provides one contact smart card reader fitted to the front of the iDL300 device.
USING THE IDL300 Fitting SD and SIM Cards Two SIM/SAM sockets and one Micro-SD card slot can be found on the Left-hand side of the iDL300. Open the Rubber cover to expose the slots, and fit the desired cards.
USING THE IDL300 Care and Maintenance Maintaining the iDL300 With normal use, the iDL300, and the battery charger require little to no maintenance. For problem free usage of the product, observe the following suggestions when using the iDL300: To prolong the life and avoid problems, keep the iDL300 and its battery charger clean. Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with a mild, dilute cleaning agent.
USING THE IDL300 Customising the iDL300 Standard Settings It may be required at times to change the default setting of the iDL300 according to personal preferences. The settings can be changed from the control panel. To access the control panel, from the task bar select Start>Setting>Control Panel. Date & Time Settings In Date & Time Setting, the year, month, date, time and time zone can be changed. To change the Date & Time settings select Date/Time from the control panel.
USING THE IDL300 Backlight The backlight timeout can be adjusted to reduce power usage or for convenience. The backlight setting can be adjusted by selecting “Display” from the control panel and then by selecting the Backlight tab. Figure 3-3: BACKLIGHT SETTING SCREEN Modify the backlight pull-down list settings to suit personal preferences. Select OK to exit the Display settings or press the key on the keyboard. A Backlight typically consumes much power.
USING THE IDL300 Touch screen Settings When attempting to select a particular item with the stylus and another item is selected in error, then touch screen could need re-aligning. To align the touch screen select Stylus from the control panel. The Double-Tap settings can be adjusted from this window by following the instructions on screen on the Double-Tap tab. Figure 3-4: STYLUS SCREEN To re-align the Touch screen, select the Calibration tab.
USING THE IDL300 Selecting Recalibrate starts the recalibration process. Carefully press and briefly hold the stylus on the centre of the target as it moves around the screen. Select OK to exit the Stylus settings or press the key on the keyboard. The calibration settings of the touch screen will influence the accessibility of the Windows CE task bar when the task bar is hidden. Therefore ensure that the calibration is done accurately.
USING THE IDL300 The Schemes tab allows one to modify the User Idle, System Idle and Suspend mode times when using either battery or AC power. Figure 3-7: SCHEMES TAB Regional Settings To change the regional settings, access Regional Settings from the control panel. The user can select the desired language/location.
USING THE IDL300 iDL300 Device Specific Configuration Options Various iDL300 Device specific settings are available to optimize the iDL300 device for user specific needs. To change iDL300 device specific settings, select and execute the “iDL Device Config” option from the control panel. The following section describes these settings. Note that with changing the device configuration via these options will in most cases require the user to reboot the device.

The mouse pointer will be displayed where the user has last tapped on the touch screen. Select OK to accept changes and exit the iDL Device Config settings Figure 3-10: DEVICE CONFIG: MOUSE POINTER Power Down: Various options and functions are available around power down of the device as show in Figure 2-13 below.
USING THE IDL300 CPU Power: The CPU function can be adapted to the user‟s requirements. In some instances the iDL300 device is used where high processing performance is required from the devices, and in other instances a long life span is required from one battery‟s use. Thus each CPU power setting will have a different impact on the device‟s processor performance and the battery‟s power live span. Higher performance will typically shorten the usage time from one battery.
USING THE IDL300 iDSP: The “iDL300 Device Software Package” (iDSP) contains all drivers, software and programs that allow the iDL300 to function as one integrated unit. At times MaxID releases new versions of this software package to improve the device and to solve possible problems. This tab allows a user to upgrade such software package manually.
USING THE IDL300 Ramdisk: Enabling Ramdisk will allow the user to allocate more memory for processor intensive usage for applications that require higher performance. Use this option to configure the size of the Ramdisk. Figure 3-14: DEVICE CONFIG: RAMDISK Smart Card: This tab allows the configuration of the Contact- and contactless smart card reader according to specific business rules or legislations.
USING THE IDL300 Touch Panel: As stated per the tab, enabling the touch panel‟s sync mode may greatly improve its performance.
