Mount the battery to the bottom side of terminal and push the battery.

Note
Battery Maintenance
Lithium-ion batteries have a limited life, which is affected by several factors; environment, storage, the number of charge/
discharge cycles, and level of discharge/ charge

To extend battery lifespan and battery life, we recommend following these simple guideline;
 Avoid heat and humidity
 If do not use the terminal regularly, fully recharge the battery at least once per month.
 Do not leave the terminal connected to a charging device for longer than 3 days.
 Use only charging adapter approved
 In case of storing terminal 3 months or longer,
- The best temperature for proper care and storage is between 0~25°C
- Extended storage can cause batteries to discharge deeply, which can deteriorate the cell and reduce battery
capacity, service life and ability to recharge. It is suggested, therefore, that the battery be fully charged before
putting to the terminal in extended storage and that it be recharged fully every three months while in storage
 Update the terminal Operating System as new updates available. OS updates may contain new programs to
optimize battery life.

Wi-Fi Roaming (Summit Base)

DS4 Wifi provides two complementary sets of roaming algorithms to provide for more
reliable connectivity. Those sets of algorithms are;

- Standard: which manages roaming behavior under typical conditions. Users can adjust
Standard Roaming parameters to customize roaming behavior for a particular
environment.
- Aggressive: which manages roaming behavior when the station device is in areas of
particularly low coverage and is in imminent jeopardy of losing its connection to the
network infrastructure. Users may not adjust Aggressive Roaming parameters but may
disable this feature.

Standard Wi-Fi Roaming

The standard roaming algorithm is employed when Summit-enabled station devices are operating in
areas of relatively strong RF coverage. This roaming algorithm is based on the signal strength, or
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI, which is measured in dBm) of the current AP (the access
point to which the station is currently associated) and any other APs that are within range of the
station. The Summit radio calculates a moving-average RSSI for the current AP and treats it as the
"current RSSI". This value is displayed on the Status tab of the Summit Client Utility (SCU).

A Standard Roam scenario would be as follows: A station that is associated to an AP sees the RSSI go
below the -75 dB Roam Trigger value, e.g. it goes to -80 dB. This prompts it to initiate a roam scan
looking for a better AP ("better" in terms of signal strength). If it finds one, it will roam to it if the RSSI
on the target AP is greater than the current AP by the Roam Delta value and it has been associated to
the current AP for at least the Roam Period value.
Changing these parameters allows users to customize the roaming behavior of the station for
environments that might be somewhere on a continuum between two extremes: if an environment has
under-coverage (i.e., relatively few APs for the size of the facility) then the user can set the Roam
Trigger to look for a new AP sooner and set the Roam Delta and Roam Period to smaller values so
that the station will roam more quickly when it finds an alternative to the current AP. On the other
hand, if an environment has over-coverage (i.e., a relatively large number of APs for the size of the
facility) the user can set the Roam Trigger to a high value so that the station will only start looking for
a new AP if the current AP signal gets very low, the new AP has a much stronger signal (Roam Delta),
and the station has been associated to the current AP for some larger amount of time (30 seconds
perhaps).

58
Chapter 3: Getting Understanding Details

How a given customer will configure these settings will depend on their RF environment, but also on
the types of devices they use (laptop vs. data terminal for example), how those devices are used (truck-
mounted going 25 MPH (40 KPH) or carried on a belt and being walked around), and what types of
data they handle (voice/video vs. low data rate/latency insensitive bar-code scanning).
The administrator can configure three parameters for the standard roaming algorithm:

- Roaming Trigger: Roam trigger indicates the signal strength (RSSI) (in dBm) at which the radio
scans for an access point with a better signal strength. When scanning for a different access point,
the radio looks for one with a RSSI at the indicated roam delta dBm level or stronger.
- Roaming Delta: Roam delta indicates the signal strength (RSSI) level (in dBm) that the radio looks
for in a different access point (after the roam trigger is met) before it attempts to roam to the new
access point
- Roaming Period: Roam period indicates the amount of time a radio collects RSSI scan data (after
association or a roam scan) before it considers roaming to a different access point.

Aggressive Wi-Fi Roaming

Aggressive Roaming is employed when Summit-enabled station devices are operating in areas of
relatively weak RF coverage such as the edge of a coverage area. Aggressive roaming uses settings
that are not configurable but have been determined in real customer environments to be optimal
for reliable connectivity in areas of relatively weak coverage. Aggressive Roaming can, however, be
disabled as per the below. Aggressive roaming is triggered when the radio misses too many of the
beacons expected from the current AP during a defined interval. The number of expected beacons
is determined from the AP's beacon rate and DTIM interval.
Once aggressive roaming is triggered, the radio scans for a "better" AP every second. If Aggressive
Roaming is triggered Aggressive Roaming will stop only when the station finds an AP with an RSSI
that is stronger than that of the current AP and the station then roams to that AP. Aggressive Roaming
will stop after a successful roam or if the number of received beacons returns to the expected number.
If the station moves completely out of the coverage area for all APs, it will miss all beacons, determine
that it no longer is associated to an AP, and will change its status to "Not Associated". The station
will then revert to Standard Roaming.
In some environments such as environments with more than enough RF coverage (and significant
co-channel interference) it may be desirable to disable Aggressive Roaming. This may be done
through the "Aggressive Scan" menu item on the Global Settings tab in the Summit Client Utility
(SCU). Changing the Aggressive Scan value from "On" to "Off" will disable this feature.
Aggressive Scanning may also be disabled by adding the below DWord to the registry and setting it
to all zeroes as per the below:
"aggScanTimer"=dword:00000000

The signal strength (RSSI) for the current AP (to which the radio is associated) is -90 dBm
or weaker, which means that a Summit 802.11b/g radio will operate at 802.11b data rates
only.

The RSSI for the current AP is stronger than -90 dBm but not stronger than -70 dBm,
which means that a Summit radio will operate at 802.11g or 802.11a data rates that are
less than 54 Mbps

The RSSI for the current AP is stronger than -70 dBm but not stronger than -50 dBm,
which means that a Summit radio should operate consistently at 54 Mbps
