Developing Applications Using

the SDK

Software is not automatically provided with your unit.

Integrating the device into your application requires the use of

the Inﬁnite Peripherals Universal SDK. The SDK incorporates an

API speciﬁcally for developing applications to use with your unit’s

functionality.

For additional details on using the Inﬁnite Peripheral Universal SDK,

please refer to the appropriate SDK documentation. You can contact

your Inﬁnite Peripherals account representative for third-party software

solutions.

For the latest Inﬁnite Peripheral Universal SDK please visit our

developer portal:

Inﬁnea X DF User Manual

Assemble Inﬁnea X DF

1. Verify the battery latch is fully open.

Note

Be careful to not force the battery into place, if the latch is closed and

locked.

2. Lower the battery pack into place so it seats at when installed.

3. With slight pressure on the back of the battery, use your ngers

to rotate the latch counter-clockwise 90 degrees, or until it is

securely locked into place.

Getting Started

Install Battery

1. Open the unit by loosening the six socket head hex screws, and

then gently ip open the top cover.

2. On your iOS device, set the ring silent switch to Ring mode.

3. Slide the iOS device onto the Lightning™ connector until it clicks

into place.

The Inﬁnea X DF is molded speciﬁcally to the compatible iOS device. iOS

devices are not interchangeable

4. Close the top cover while maintaining the position of the

protective rubber bumper.

Before closing the top cover, wipe the interior glass with a clean, lint-

free cloth to ensure the screen is clean and free from moisture.

5. Tighten the six screws in the upper enclosure to secure it in this

order:

* Top left

* Bottom right

* Top right

* Bottom left

* Center left

* Center right

Between the top and bottom covers ensure the rubber bumper is

properly aligned. Failure to do so compromises the liquid protection

functionality of the unit.

Inﬁnea X DF User Manual

Charge Infinea X DF

You can charge the Inﬁnea X DF by either an AC wall outlet or by

replacing the battery. Pass-through charging to your iOS device is

supported.

Based on charging requirements, the Inﬁnea X DF and iOS device

cannot be charged together using a USB cable to a PC connection.

Battery Status Indicator

To check the battery life of the unit, press the battery status button on

the bottom left or right-hand side, and then observe the color of the LED.

Note: if the green LED is not illuminated on the unit while charging,

verify the connector is properly attached and the unit is seated

securely in the charging cup accessory. If a problem persists, contact

https://ipcmobile.com/support.

Charge Battery

You can charge up to ten batteries at once using the multi-bay charger.

Each battery slot in a single LED charge.

Note

Standard batteries take approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge. The

extended battery requires about 5 hours to charge. When the LED

is green, the battery is fully charged; red indicates charging is in

progress.

Charging times for the Inﬁnea X DF is three hours with or without the

standard battery inserted. If back-up charging is enabled and both iOS

device and Inﬁnea X DF are fully discharged, insert a new, completely

charged standard battery into the unit and charge for about 10-15

minutes using the charging cup. After 15 minutes, remove the charging

cup so the Inﬁnea X DF provides back-up charging to the iOS device, as

needed.

Note

When not in use, remove the battery and turn off the iOS device.

Status Description

100-75% Solid green

74%-50% Blinking green

49%-25% Blinking orange

24%-10% Blinking red

9%-1% One LED blinking red indicating emergency low

battery status

When the remaining battery capacity is below 15%, the automatic charge on the

iOS device stops.

• Standard battery capacity is 1900mAH.

• Extended battery sold separately is 3800mAH.

Inﬁnea X DF User Manual

1. Insert the standard battery into the Innea X DF, and then

barcode and the scan engine until the barcode is read.

Enable RFID/HID

• To use the RFID or HID functionality, press the Scan button.

• For RFID, place the card/tag face down and as close as possible

to the receiver/transmitter.

Note

Depending on the type of tag/card, you may need to place it directly on

the surface of the RFID receiver/transmitter properly read or write the

data.

Cleaning Guidelines

• Do NOT autoclave, machine wash, pressure-sterilize or gas-

sterilize the Innea X DF.

• Do NOT soak or immerse in any liquid.

• Clean the Innea X DF only when the battery module is properly

installed and locked into the Innea X DF. This will ensure proper

sealing of the Innea X DF prior to introducing any solutions

and/or wipes used during the cleaning process.

• Apply cleaning solutions with a soft lint-free cloth. If the solution

comes in the form of a wipe, ensure the wipe is lint-free and will

not scratch the plastic surfaces (especially the scan window).

Excessive solution that resides in any of the waterproof

membrane or gasket areas can seep into the devices and cause

damage to the internal components.

• Do not touch, press or rub the display and/or covers with

abrasive cleaning compounds, instruments, brushes, rough

surface material or bring the display and/or covers into contact

with products that could potentially scratch the display or

covers.

• To clean the Innea X DF screw areas, use a soft-bristled brush

with approved cleaning solutions. Focus cleaning in the screw

areas, ensuring that the brush is not used in areas that contain

seals or gaskets.

• Do not use ammonia based, petroleum-based or acetone

cleaning solutions to clean the Innea X DF. Also avoid harsh

solvents.

• Use the following cleaning solutions only to clean the Innea X

DF exterior surfaces:

* Clorox®Bleach (10%)

* Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes (70%)

Cleaning Precautions

The Inﬁnea X DF is certiﬁed to meet IP54 Ingress Protection Marking

per IEC 60529. Per the IP54 rating, the Inﬁnea X DF is protected against

interference with normal operation of the Inﬁnea X DF sled caused by

dust and splashing liquids. At no time should the Inﬁnea X DF sled be

completely immersed in liquid. Total submersion of the device may allow

liquid to enter the unit and impair its normal function. Immersion will

also void the Inﬁnea X DF warranty.

The end user should determine an appropriate cleaning procedure

that complies with any facility and/or industry-speciﬁc cleaning

requirements. The following information is a general cleaning guideline

that should be followed to ensure the Inﬁnea X DF maintains its normal

operation.
