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.

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.
