Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn The Battery 3.1 The Battery The Ikôn operates with a Lithium Ion battery pack, Model No. CH3000. Preparing the unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the Ikôn. 3.1.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Charging The Battery Important: Since there are some circuits that draw power directly from the battery, the Ikôn can not run if the battery is low (capacity < 100mAh), even when external power is present. If you try to turn the Ikôn on, you will see a blinking yellow LED, but it will not turn on unless the battery status changes within the next 30 seconds (battery charges up, battery is swapped for a different one, etc.).
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Activating Modifier Keys 3.2.3.1 Activating Modifier Keys When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the Ikôn screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn The Numeric Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys The [BKSP] Key The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The green LED is the battery charge indicator; the yellow LED indicates an application; the blue LED indicates whether the radio is on or off. When you press [ENTER], the LED flashes green to indicate that the unit has been powered up. The LED table following outlines the behaviour of the LED while the unit is docked in a charger.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Audio Indicators 3.4.2 Audio Indicators The audio speaker provides a variety of sounds when a key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected, an operator’s entry does not match in a match field or the battery is low. To specify how you want your Ikôn to respond under various conditions, refer to “Volume And Sound Properties” on page 98. The grey volume key is located on the left side of the unit.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Onscreen Indicators Modifier Key Indicators Note: The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys are only available on the keyboard when the Phone option is not installed in the Ikôn (see Figure 3.2 on page 34). Those keys are replaced by Phone keys when that option is present. [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] are modifier keys that when pressed, are displayed in the taskbar to indicate that they are active.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Storing Batteries As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Uploading Data In A Docking Station 3.6 Uploading Data In A Docking Station Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your Ikôn before performing data uploads. The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available. Note: Refer to “CH4004 Quad Docking Station” on page 227 for more details.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn Inserting The microSD And SIM Cards • Follow the headset manufacturer’s instructions to place the headset you want to place in pairing mode. • In the Control Panel, tap on the Bluetooth icon choose the Devices tab and scan for devices in your area.

Remove Tapping this button removes an existing mapping. OK The OK button in the top right of the Manage Triggers screen saves all changes made.
Chapter 5: Configuration Manage Triggers Note: It is possible to map the same source to different modules (trigger consumers)—for example, to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recommended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers. It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID File System.
Chapter 5: Configuration Certificates Show All Modules By default, inactive owners are not shown. By checking this checkbox, all owners, both active and inactive, are displayed. 5.5.8 Certificates A public key is transmitted as part of a certificate.
