Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7530 G2
Monitoring The Network Connection
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60%
every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have
limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries
as perishable goods.
3.9 Monitoring The Network Connection
If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate
with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates
the relative strength of the communication link.
• Tap on the Radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics
dialog box.
To access the radio signal icon using the keyboard:
• Press [BLUE] [0] to display the Start Menu.
• Highlight Shortcuts and then choose System Tray from the sub-menu.
• Use the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon
in the taskbar.
• Press [ENTER] to display the Wireless Statistics dialog box.
Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on
a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by
logging in again.
3.10 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow your hand-held to link to
an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server
computer when a radio link is not available. When a 7530 G2 is properly inserted in
a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the unit
screen. The hand-held also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the
documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7530 G2 before
preforming data uploads.
