13 1.3 Precautions If reading the internal clock with I NT21h the significant data should include and be limited to the seconds digits. On thi s terminal the tim e is read directly from the RTC so that the correct time can be attained at any mom ent, even during extended continuous use. As a result the 1/100 of a second digit is ignored. (refer to [...]

14 If an L B1 event (low main battery voltage) occurs, the alarm buzzer starts sounding and sy stem operation is suspended about 10 minutes later. I f the alarm buzzer starts sounding, terminate the current operation as soon as possible and recharge the main battery . This system will not execute an alarm indication to be displayed on the L CD scre[...]

15 The backlight is turned off by m eans of the ABO (Auto Backlight OFF ) function. However, it is turned off 1.3 seconds after the setup time. This is because the sy stem has 1.3 seconds of monitoring tim e before the internal timer is started. During the process of loading Windows after boot-up, do not press the Power switch. Do not press the Po [...]

ON factors: Pressing the P ower switch Pressing the RESET sw itch Power ON alarm Reception of RING signal Mou[...]

22 System Menu Boot Process Press the RES ET switch to set the drive C as the current drive, and load MS-DOS from that drive. As a result, the System Menu that includes the maintenance program will be initiated (refer to “Sys tem Menu Boot Process” on this page). Resume Process This process restores the conditions that existed before the power [...]

23 Note: The RESE T switch can be used not onl y for initiating the S y ste m Menu but also as the forced restart switch when the user application progra m under develop m ent hangs. Howev er, note that if the RESET switch is pressed while the disk is being written to, the data m a y be corrupted. Therefore, the RESET switch should be pressed onl y[...]

24 This terminal has the Auto Power O N function which automatically starts the system . This A uto Power ON function can operate in one of the following three way s: Auto Pow er ON function (only aff ects the resume process) activated by alarm The system power can be turned on (resumed) at the specified tim e by means of an alarm . However, this w[...]

25 2.2.3 Pow er OFF Process Overv iew Turns off the system power. However, the power to all the dev ices is not turned off and some can be used for storing the information required for the next resum e operation. This process is called the suspend process and the state of the system while off is called the suspend state. The suspend process can be [...]

26 OFF Factors The OFF factors refer to various causes that make the sy stem enter the OFF state (suspend state), as follows: OFF factor Description Suspend Power switch System operation can be suspended by holding down the Power switch for more than a second. (see note) Normal Auto Power OFF (APO ) System operation automatically shifts to the susp[...]

27 2.2.4 Battery Voltage Monitoring Process This terminal uses a main battery (lithium- ion battery pack) for driving the m ain unit, and a primary sub-battery (lithium battery ) and a secondary sub-battery (lithium- vanadium battery ) for backup. Application programs can acquire the status of these batteries through the APM BIOS or sy stem library[...]

28 Low Voltage Level The IT-2000 continuously monitors the voltage of the m ain battery, the prim ary sub-battery , and the SRAM card battery. This allow s an application program to determine through the sy stem library if the voltage of each battery reaches a warning level. The following table summ arizes the low battery v oltage warning levels, w[...]

29 Main Battery Voltage Monitoring If the m ain battery voltage reaches L B1, the system issues a warning buzzer. I f this warning buzzer sounds, either start recharging the battery or replace it w ith a fully charged battery as soon as possible. If one of these m easures is not taken within ten minutes, the sy stem will forcibly turn off the power[...]

30 Sub-batter y Voltage Monitoring The sub - batteries are used for s y ste m backup while the m ain batter y is being replaced. The sub- batteries consists of two units: the pri m ar y sub - batter y (button - t y pe lithiu m batter y ) and secondary sub - batter y (button - t y pe lithiu m - vanadiu m batter y ). The secondar y sub - batter y is [...]

31 2.2.5 Low Consumption Current Process This terminal has the APM BIOS installed to provide a low-power consumption capability . It works in com bination with POWER.EXE from Microsoft Corporation. The low-power consumption capability is further enhanced by the use of unique power m anagement functions, including Auto Power OFF (APO) function, Auto[...]

32 A uto Pow er OFF Function (A PO) This function automatically shifts the system to the OF F state (suspend state) if no event has taken place for a specified period of time from the touch panel, the keyboard, COM1, or a file. This time interv al has been set to one minute by default. I t can be modified using the Sy stem Menu or system library. A[...]

33 DOZE/RUN Transit Function On this terminal the sy stem will reduce the clock speed of the built-in CPU if no activity (access to the touch panel, keys , COM1, or file) has occurred for a specified period of time (four seconds). The state in which the CPU clock speed has been reduced is called the "DOZE state" and the state in which the[...]

34 2.2.6 How to Replace or Recharge Batteries Replacement of Batt eries The method used to replace the m ain battery, sub- battery, and SRAM card battery are explained here Failure to observ e the correct battery replacement procedure m ay result in a loss of data. Alway s observe the following steps in battery replacement. Main battery replacement[...]

35 Note: The SRAM card is supplied power by the main battery when it is installed in the main unit. This means that the SRAM card can be used norm ally as long as it is in the slot, even if the voltage of the card battery is zero. In this case, however, the data on the SRAM card will be lost when the card is remov ed from the main unit slot. Since [...]

76 4. MS-DOS 4.1 Ov erview In general, if a personal com puter is booted-up with a floppy disk in the driv e, first an attempt will be made to read MS- DOS from the floppy disk, and if a copy of MS-DOS does not reside on the floppy it is loaded from the hard disk (C:). However, this m ethod cannot be used on this terminal since its basic drive (C:)[...]

77 As described above, if the sy stem power is turned on without an application installed (i.e. the conditions just after purchase), the CONFI G.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files locating on the basic drive will be executed autom atically. This inevitably initiates the System Menu (m aintenance program). Therefore, if not only CONFI G.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT[...]

78 4.2 How to Write CONFIG.SYS and A UTOEXEC.BA T This section explains how to write the CONF IG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files mentioned in the previous section. A basic explanation of the CONF IG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT is not given here. For further inform ation about these files refer to the MS-DOS manual or appropriate technical documents. Observ e t[...]

79 (1) DOS=HIGH,NOUMB This specifies that the main part of DOS is to be loaded in the HMA and, consequently , the UMB (Upper Memory Block) is not used. This terminal does not support a mem ory space for UMB if the EM S memor y is t o be used. Therefore, alw ays speci fy NOUMB w hen using the EMS. (2) DEVICE=C: SYSDRV.SYS This driver is required to [...]

80 Example of A UTOEXEC.BA T The following example shows a ty pical AUTO EXEC.BAT script. Since this example assum es that the sy stem is booted from either the RAM disk or the NAND F -ROM driv e, it is necessary to partially m odify it if booting up from the ATA card. For inform ation about booting from the ATA card refer to Chapter 4.3 "Card[...]

81 4.3 Card Boot Basically the " card boot" operation boots MS-DOS from the ATA card, just like it is booted from a floppy disk. F or this terminal the boot operation looks the sam e as this case. However, this terminal uses a boot process greatly different from a general card boot so that the MS-DOS in the drive C is alway s loaded, in s[...]

82 the drive G, which is currently enabled, will be disabled. This problem arises from the fact that the hardware conditions established by initialization with CARDID.EXE are lost since access to the drive F was executed by means of specific codes included in the BIOS.
