Computer Description
Portable Computers
HandĆHeld Computers are used by mobile workers to quickĆ
ly and accurately capture information, print reports, disĆ
patch competitive analysis, and to support field mainteĆ
nance and sales automation. Today's handĆheld computers
are suitable for many other uses as well.
These units are battery operated, making them extremely
portable and wellĆsuited for utility, public safety, transĆ
portation, and field service operations.
Typically, programs and data are loaded (downloaded") into
the handĆheld computer from a PC or mainframe. DependĆ
ing upon the options built into the computer, entries are
made via screen contact, a keyboard or an external scanner.
This computer can access a database with customer and
product information, perform calculations based on product
movement, send information to a printer, or send data to a
host computer in real time or at the end of the work day.
The 6640 Computer
The 6640 HandĆHeld Computer is a versatile portable data
collection PC. It has a large, easilyĆread display, penĆbased
data entry, and the power and speed provided by an Intel
Pentium 266 MHz MMX processor. With extensive memory
options and a Windows operating system, the 6640 is a powĆ
erful, fullĆfunction PC with all of the ruggedness and portaĆ
blility we design into every product.

ing and for communicating to peripheral devices. The comĆ
puter also has a software interface for display control when
using windowsĆtype programs.
Since the 6640 uses the Microsoft Windows98 operating
systems, there are many general programs and publications
available for use with the computer.
Computer Description

Power Status LEDs
These bicolor (red/green) indicators tell you if the unit is
operating from battery power or external power, and when
the batteries are being recharged if the computer is turned
on. Section 3 contains a table that shows the meaning of
various combinations of these status LEDs.
Display
The display/touch panel shows data and computer mesĆ
sages, your entries, customer or product lists, calculations,
and various prompts that require a response from you. An
integrated capacitive touchĆscreen panel on the display alĆ
lows you to make entries with your finger or with the speĆ
cial tethered pen.
Control Panel
The touchĆscreen control panel, at the bottom of the display
area, is an integral part of the display . You will see four
programmable function keys, plus keys for the following acĆ
tions:
Battery suspend (battery replacement mode)
Suspend (suspend operation mode)
Brightness
Contrast
Pen (input device)
Use the special tethered pen provided with the computer to
make manual entries. The pen must be plugged into the
computer for normal operation. This pen normally perĆ
forms the function of the left mouse button. The right
mouse function can be accessed by pressing the button on
the barrel of the pen, by tapping the Intermec logo I" in the
System Tray on the task bar or by pressing the F4 key.
Pen input takes precedence over finger input when both are
detected at the same time.

Battery Compartment
The easyĆaccess battery compartment contains a rechargeĆ
able lithium ion battery pack. This is a smart" battery
pack because it has internal electronics that monitor and
can report the condition of the battery pack.
A rechargeable internal lithium ion backup battery (not
user replaceable) will maintain critical data and computer
memory for up to 5 minutes (when the unit is in battery
suspend mode) to allow replacing the main battery pack.

I/O Connectors
Most external connectors on the 6640 Computer are located
behind a rubber flap that surrounds the visible portion of
the inputĆoutput (I/O) panel. Three standard I/O panels
with various connector combinations are currently availĆ
able. Other I/O panels can be designed to meet future cusĆ
tomer needs.
The I/O panel is fieldĆreplaceable (by a qualified technician)
if you want to upgrade to add connectors that were not inĆ
cluded when your computer was originally configured. See
Section 2 for available I/O panel options.
All I/O panel options have a pushĆtype momentary contact
suspend/resume switch and a pushĆpush on/off switch.

Ethernet (Figure 1-3)
Ethernet signals are always available on the docking conĆ
nector; an optional RJ45 connector on the computer allows
direct connection to a Local Area Network.
Serial Port (Figure 1-3)
This 9Ćpin DĆsubminiature connector supports RSĆ232 sigĆ
nals for twoĆway communication between peripheral deĆ
vices and is capable of supporting a 5Ćvolt bar code scanner.
When the computer is docked, these same signals are carĆ
ried on the docking connector and are accessed via the
RSĆ232 port on the dock.
RJ11 Connector (Figure 1-3)
This connector allows connecting an optional internal moĆ
dem to your phone lines.
Other Connectors
I/O panels are currently available (see Section 2 for illustraĆ
tions and descriptions of curently available connector comĆ
binations) to accommodate other common peripherals such
as a keyboard, parallel devices, and audio devices.
Connectors for the pen, for dc input power, and for the uniĆ
versal serial bus (USB) port are shown in Figure 1Ć4, which
shows the righthand side of the computer.
NOTE: Input power for the 6640 Computer MUST be 19 volts dc. Standard
12-volt adapters or vehicle cables WILL NOT WORK with the 6640.

DC Power Input Jack
This jack allows you to power and recharge the computer
from either an external 19 volt ac-dc power supply or a speĆ
cial booster/adapter cable to a vehicle cigarette lighter sockĆ
et or auxiliary power source.
Pen Connector
This is a 5Ćpin female stake header connector that comĆ
pletes the circuit path to allow the capacitive tethered pen
to function reliably. This small connector is slightly conĆ
cealed and is located directly above the universal serial bus
(USB) connector on the right side of the computer.
USB Connector
This is a 4Ćpin connector designed to meet universal serial
bus (USB) standards.

Docking Features
Several features help ensure a reliable electrical interface
between the 6640 computer and docking devices. The latch
recess allows the dock to pull the computer downward, seatĆ
ing the alignment recesses onto wedges on the docking deĆ
vice. The docking connector mates with a springĆloaded
connector on the dock. This design provides reliable electriĆ
cal connections between the computer and the docking staĆ
tion. Communication signals and power for operating and
recharging the computer pass through this connector.
