Introduction

Getting Acquainted

The FC-2600 is a fully featured, rugged and customizable hand-held

computer integrated with a color camera that also reads bar codes

(Figure 1-1).

The FC-2600 comes standard with the Windows CE 6.0 operating

system and an Intel PXA270 XScale processor that operates up to 624

MHz. It also has Bluetooth®, WLAN, and serial communication

(RS-232 and USB).

The FC-2600 enables you to connect to the RS-1 wireless radio. To

learn more about the features of the FC-2600, see “General Features

of the FC-2600” on page 1-2.

Table 1-1 describes the front components and indicators on the

FC-2600.

General Features of the

FC-2600

Operating System The FC-2600 uses Windows CE 6.0 as its operating

system. You can develop applications quickly and easily using the

latest development tools and network connectivity from Microsoft,

such as eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, Visual Studio 2005, and

ActiveSync.

Processor The FC-2600 uses an Intel PXA270 processor designed

specifically for high performance, low power, portable, hand-held

devices. It incorporates Intel XScale technology with on-the-fly

voltage, frequency scaling, and sophisticated power management. It

also complies with the ARM Architecture V5TE instruction set.

Camera The FC-2600 uses a 5 megapixel (4 megapixel processed)

digital camera equipped with ultra-bright LED illuminators for

photography in low-light areas, a wide, sunlight-readable display for

ease of viewing regardless of available ambient light, and adjustable

IR coated-glass optics for crisp clear images. There is a 5 mega pixel

color CMOS imager, a true camera system, an Auto focus system and

a Mechanical Shutter system. The bar-code symbology decode

software system is compatible with the following: Code 39, Code

128, Straight Code 2 of 5, UPC, EAN-13, and PDF-417 (2D Code).

Illuminators and Lasers The FC-2600 comes with four LED

illuminators that enable you to take pictures in low-light conditions.

A pair of 635 nm red visible lasers enable you to position objects and

align the FC-2600.

Display The FC-2600 features an amorphous silicon matrix AD-TFT

color display. It is outdoors-readable with a diagonal screen size of

3.52” (8.9cm). The active area of the display is 71.52mm H x

53.64mm V. The pixel format is 320H x 240V (1 pixel = R+B+G

dots. The touchscreen system is 4-wire resistive technology.

Keypad The FC-2600 has 55 keys plus an 8+1 directional pad. The

keyboard is contstructed of sheer-proof solid hard keys.

Indicators The FC-2600 has five LED indicators that provide a

number of useful functions, including the state of keypad modifier

keys. An additional LED indicates the charge and low battery status

and WLAN (wireless connection) and Bluetooth power status.

Sound The FC-2600 has an integrated speaker and microphone.

Rechargeable Battery Pack The FC-2600 comes with two

rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery packs that provide up to 40

hours of operating time on a full charge, depending on power

management and use. Each battery is a [email protected], integrated

“Gas Gauge” System; field replaceable. When connected to an

external power source, the Internal Charging System is used.

The Lithium-Ion technology used in the FC-2600 has exceptional

charge life without the “charge memory.” This means partially

discharged batteries or batteries connected to the charger for extended

periods will not adversely affect battery life or performance.

Configuration Options The FC-2600 comes standard with one

RS-232 DE-9 serial port, one RS-1 radio port, and one USB mini A/B

connector. The FC-2600 also includes USB (1.1), Wireless LAN
