Backlight control sensor:

The backlight control sensor automatically turns the backlight off

when adequate external light is available. Make sure you keep

this sensor uncovered.

Battery gauge:

The battery gauge consists of five LEDs, which indicate the

approximate charge remaining on your computer. When all five

lights are lit, the battery is fully charged. As you use the battery,

the lights will turn off from top to bottom, indicating the amount of

charge that remains. Each light represents approximately 20%

of the full charge. See Chapter 2 “Batteries and Charging

Procedures” for more detailed information on the battery gauge.

Hard disk drive indicator:

The indicator flashes as the internal hard disk drive is accessed.

Charging status LED:

The charge status indicator is lit whenever external power is

available. It blinks as the battery charges and remains a

constant green when the batteries are fully charged. The

indicator identifies a positive connection when the Hammerhead

is in the docking station with an external power source. The

indicator will be green when external power is connected.

Antennas:

The antennas for the integrated Wireless

LAN and integrated Bluetooth are built into

the top of the housing. No additional or

external antennas are required to support

this functionality. For optimal range with

wireless interfaces, keep this area exposed

and away from external metal objects.

the computer back until the docking connectors engage. If

power is applied to the docking station, a positive docking

indication will result by the illumination of the charging status

icon on the Hammerhead.

Tips for proper use and care of your computer

The Hammerhead is a rugged field computer, but it is an electronic

device and reasonable precautions should be taken:

•Don’t subject the computer to extreme heat by placing it on the

dashboard of a vehicle with the display facing the sun.

•Don’t store the computer in temperatures below -40°C.

•Don’t pile tools or heavy objects on top of the computer.

•Avoid severe impacts, especially on the display glass.

•Don’t try to take the computer apart. Special tools are required to

disassemble the computer. Disassembly of the unit by

unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.

•Don’t use excessive force when inserting PC Cards into the

CardBus slots, as they are keyed to go in only one way.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 12

2Hardware Operation

Turning on the unit

Turn the computer on by quickly depressing the yellow on/off button on

the upper right-hand side of the computer (press for 1-2 seconds).

Note: Holding the on/off button down for a longer period of

time (5+ seconds) causes an emergency forced shut down

of the computer.

The Hammerhead will perform self-checking routines during the start-up

process. All units are configured at the factory to automatically boot to

the Microsoft Windows Desktop unless a custom configuration has been

requested.

Pen operations

(For Pen Based Computers only. If you have a Computer with

Touch Screen, see page 14 for Touch Operations)

The pen is the primary screen navigation and data entry tool for the

Hammerhead. Without a keyboard attached, the pen is the only

means of communicating with the computer. Do not lose or

misplace the pen. The pen is usually tethered to the unit or its carrying

case. All users are encouraged to purchase a spare pen as a backup.

The pen functions like a two-button mouse. There are two switches in

the pen, one in the pen tip and another on the barrel of the pen. The tip

switch performs the same functions as the left button on a mouse and

the barrel switch performs like the right mouse button. Very few

Chapter

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 13

applications require the use of the pen’s barrel button. Do not depress

the barrel switch when writing on the display; it will adversely affect

handwriting recognition.

To activate the tip switch, simply press the tip of the pen against the

display. This is similar to clicking the left button of a mouse. Double

clicking is accomplished by double tapping with the pen. Move an icon

by pressing the pen directly overhead and dragging the icon to the

desired destination, keeping the pen in constant contact with the display.

For right click functions, just depress the switch on the side of the pen. In

addition, XP Tablet PC Edition allows right click via pressing and holding

the stylus on the screen for 1+ seconds. Press and hold is an optional

feature. You can turn the feature on or off by going to Control Panel, and

then Tablet and Pen Settings.

Tapping the pen requires only light to moderate pressure. It is possible

to damage the pen by pounding the tip against the display with force.

Most problems using the pen are related to tapping speed and the

tapping area size. When using XP Tablet PC Edition, attributes related

to use of the pen (e.g. tap speed) can be adjusted by clicking on Control

Panel, Tablet and Pen Settings, and then the Pen Options tab. You can

also improve handwriting recognition accuracy by indicating if you are

right or left handed on the Settings tab. For Windows XP Pro operating

systems, look in the PenOffice tools folder found in the Windows

Program list.

The Hammerhead utilizes a proximity-sensing electromagnetic digitizer.

This component tells the computer the pen’s exact position. The

computer senses the pen as it nears the display and the cursor appears

when the pen is approximately an inch away. This allows visibility of the

exact location of input before making actual contact with the display.

The location of the cursor on the display is the location of input

regardless of the location of the pen tip. The cursor and the pen tip

should be closely aligned when the pen is in contact with the display. If

the pen and the cursor are out of alignment, click on Control Panel,

Tablet and Pen Settings and go to the Settings tab where you can

calibrate the screen for both landscape and portrait orientations. If you

are using Windows XP Pro, follow the instructions provided in the

PenOffice tools folder found in the Windows Program list. Confirm the

display is on the appropriate setting before attempting to realign the pen.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 14

Touch Operations

(For Touch computer models only. See page 12 if you have a Pen

based computer.)

Touch Screen Operation

The touch screen replaces a mouse in normal Windows operation.

Wherever you touch the screen with your finger or stylus, the computer

interprets it as a mouse click. Due to the nature of the touch screen, it is

sometimes hard to drag objects across the screen and it is also hard to

move the pointer around the screen without selecting the object below

the cursor. It is also difficult to capture a signature on touch screen units.

This should be taken into account when applications are being

developed for touch screen devices.

Caring for the Touch Screen

With minimal maintenance, the touch screen will last many years. When

operating the touch screen, you should not use an abrasive or metallic

pointer. The touch screen is easily scratched if an abrasive stylus is

used. We recommend using your finger or a plastic tipped stylus. Be

careful not to let sand or grit sit on the screen. Cleaning of the touch

screen can be done with a regular plastic cleaner such as Plexus.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 15

Battery use and care

The Lithium Ion batteries used in your Hammerhead computer offer the

best technology available today. These 'Smart Batteries' provide

Hammerhead users with the greatest power density and the most

accurate gas-gauge possible. To achieve the best possible performance

from your batteries, we recommend using and maintaining the batteries

in accordance with the instructions provided below.

Getting started with your new batteries

Your unit comes with a Lithium Ion battery that is shipped (uninstalled) in

the box with the unit. The unit may also have a non-working battery shell

in the second battery slot that shows you how the battery is to be

installed. Due to current regulations regarding shipment of Lithium Ion

batteries, your battery(s) will arrive in a partially charged condition,

typically with a maximum charge of 30% to 50%. You need to install

your battery before turning on the unit. We also recommend that you

fully charge your batteries before using them. If you do not plan to

deploy your computer immediately, please be aware that the batteries

self-discharge at a slow rate, typically less than 10% per month at

normal temperatures.

How to install new batteries

The Hammerhead has the capability

to run on one or two batteries in the

field. The unit does not require both

batteries to run. The two-battery

design allows users to hot swap

batteries without turning the

computer off.

To install or replace a new battery,

locate the round knob in the battery compartment on the back of the unit.

The knob holds the batteries in place and is designed so the batteries

cannot be taken out at the same time. Simply turn the knob until the

quarter piece exposes the corner of the battery that is to be replaced. A

lip on the battery aids easy removal. Install the new battery by placing it

into the compartment and turning the knob to cover the edges of both

batteries.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 16

When to recharge batteries

The green LEDs on the upper right front of the unit indicate the power

status of the battery. At full charge, all five LED indicators will light a

solid green. Each LED represents approximately 20% of the total charge.

As the battery power availability decreases, the LED’s will turn off from

top to bottom. For example, when the top light begins to flash, the

computer has approximately 90% charge remaining. If four LED’s are lit

a solid green, an estimated 80% of the total battery charge remains. If

three are lit a solid green and the fourth one begins flashing, the

computer has approximately 70% charge remaining.

The last LED indicator will begin to flash when approximately 10% of

battery power remains. When the remaining battery power becomes

critical, all data should be saved. Failure to do so may result in lost data!

Replace one of the batteries with a fresh battery or recharge the unit.

When the Hammerhead is turned off, the battery status indicators will

also turn off after a delay of a few seconds. When the unit is placed in

standby mode, the battery status indicators will flash as a reminder the

unit is on standby.

How to recharge your batteries

The Hammerhead’s batteries automatically fast charge

any time the Hammerhead is connected to an external

power source (AC or DC). This is accomplished using

either the Hammerhead internal battery charger or an

approved DRS power source/battery charger.

To recharge the battery using the AC adapter, plug the

circular connector of the AC adapter into the AC

connector in the Hammerhead or in the power supply

port on the replicator. Charging begins automatically

as the unit is docked when using a vehicle-docking

mount, desktop docking station or a wall mount docking

station. The Hammerhead is fully functional as it

charges. Using the unit as it charges will only slightly

lengthen the recharging process. Don’t be alarmed if

batteries feel warm to the touch during this process. It

is normal for a battery to become warm during charging

and discharging. AC adapter

plugs in here

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 17

Do not use any external power source other than the AC or DC adapters

provided with the Hammerhead. The power supply “brick” for the

Hammerhead specifies 15V. DO NOT plug the external power supply

from the Battery Charger into the computer or docking mechanism.

This power supply is 24V and will cause permanent damage to the

computer. Also, do not connect the computer to more than one

power source at a time, such as an AC power supply and docking

station, when charging the unit or permanent damage to the battery

or computer may occur.

How to tell when batteries have finished charging

When charging, the green charge indicator light will flash while the unit is

recharging. When charging two batteries, the secondary battery (see

diagram below) will charge to 80% of full charge, then the primary battery

will charge to 80%. After both batteries reach 80%, the secondary battery

will then charge the remaining 20%, after which the primary battery will

complete its recharging process. This method provides the best ratio of

charge time to run time for short battery charge cycles. When batteries

are fully charged, the charge indicator light will stop flashing and remain

lit.

How to increase battery "run time”

The total run-time of the battery is dependent on a variety of factors

including temperature, backlight requirements and computer usage.

To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize your

computer’s power management features. Settings for the display and

the hard drive shutdown, as well as the use of stand-by and hibernate

mode, result in lower overall drain on the battery, effectively increasing

the computer’s operating time.

When to replace your battery

Battery life is dependent on battery usage. Every time a battery is fully

charged and discharged, it decreases the amount of energy stored in the

battery.

To determine if the battery is past its prime, first check the Silver

warranty label on the bottom of your battery. Batteries beyond one year

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 18

of service may experience shorter run times. Recommended

replacement for batteries is once a year or every 400-500

charge/discharge cycles for optimal battery performance.

Where to purchase replacement batteries

The Hammerhead uses long lasting Lithium Ion batteries that are custom

made for DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. If you need to purchase

replacement batteries for your Hammerhead computer, contact your

sales representative. Do not substitute any other batteries. Substituting

batteries may result in a void warranty.

How to store batteries when they’re not in use

The following storage tips will help you optimize the capacity and

performance of your batteries.

•If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is

recommended that it is removed from the computer for storage.

•Store batteries in a cool, dry place.

•Do not leave batteries in direct sunlight during the summer

months or any other unusually hot location.

•Do not expose battery terminals to metal objects or moisture,

which may short-circuit your battery.

•For long-term storage, store batteries below 50% state of charge

because the deterioration of battery capacity is slower at lower

state of charge. However, do not store batteries in a fully

discharged state.

Safety and handling considerations for your batteries

To make the batteries as safe as possible, DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.,

along with our approved vendors, has incorporated several built in safety

features to protect the pack. The safety circuit in your battery cannot

protect against handling abuse. Please use the following safety rules

when handling and using Lithium Ion batteries.

•Do not expose the batteries to extremely high temperatures. Do

not dispose of batteries in fire.

•Do not short circuit the battery or reverse polarity. Avoid placing

batteries around metal objects such as keys, pocket change,

paper clips and jewelry.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation

DRS Tactical Systems, Inc.

Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 19

•Do not let children play with batteries.

•Do not crush, dent or allow any deformation of the battery.

•Do not disassemble or open the batteries or try to alter or bypass

the safety circuit.

•Do not allow the battery to get wet.

•Avoid exposing the battery to extremely humid environments.

•Avoid exposing the batteries to electrostatic discharge.

•Avoid extreme shock and vibration to the battery. Avoid dropping

the battery.

•Do not use or connect the battery to any other devices.

•Do not allow batteries to remain discharged for long periods of

time.

Disposing of your batteries

The batteries used in the Hammerhead are not considered hazardous

waste by EPA regulations; however local regulations may require

specific methods of disposal. We strongly encourage recycling and will

be happy to recycle batteries for you. Please contact your local sales

representative or our technical support department for assistance.

Battery tips for the best performance

•Fully discharge your battery before recharging. By charging the

battery only when it has become completely discharged, you will

reduce the number of charge cycles and thus extend the life of

your battery.

•Fully charge within 24 hours of discharge. Batteries stored in a

fully discharged state may be subject to faster deterioration.

•Battery charging should be done at temperatures between 0°C

to 45°C, preferably room temperature. The battery could

deteriorate more quickly when charged at high temperatures.

•Discharging should be done at temperatures between –10°C to

+60°C, preferably room temperature.

•Store your battery in a cool dry place, preferably at temperatures

between 20°C to +60°C. Your battery may deteriorate more

quickly if stored in high temperatures such as a vehicle in the hot

sun.
