BATTERY REMOVAL

Please follow the instructions, when removing battery!

Step 1

First open the lock on the back of the handheld by sliding the latch above the battery to the left.

Step 2

Then carefully remove the battery with a lever or by hand. Insert a spare battery and then slide the latch back to the right.

SIM CARD

How to insert the SIM and microSD card correctly:

In order to reach the SIM and microSD card slot the device’s battery must be removed first (please follow the instructions on the left side). Slide the micro-SIM card cover to the right with your finger and open the designated slot (see illustration). Then insert the SIM card, close the SIM cover and lock it by sliding it to the left. The same steps also apply to the microSD slot, but the cover must be pushed to the left to unlock (and locked the other way around).
Please make sure that the gold contacts of the SIM and microSD card are facing downwards.
Afterwards repeat step 1 to 2 on the left side in reverse order to insert the battery and lock the device properly.

INITIAL SETUP

BIOS

Important note
Please note that you cannot access the BIOS without an external keyboard. Therefore, connect a USB keyboard before commissioning the SCORPION 6”. You can use the included USB-OTG cable from the accessories to use a USB hub, mouse and keyboard. Alternatively, you can also use a USB hub with an integrated LAN port, which is used for imaging and more.

Please note that in this case the device cannot be charged at the same time. We recommend the use of a docking station to ensure a constant power supply during the initial setup.

Setup function key

For Windows 10 OS
In the Windows version of the “SCORPION 6”, the right function key (scan key) is permanently set. The left function key has no purpose, but you have the possibility to freely assign it. Either with the barcode reader or an application of your choice.

Installation guide for assigning the function key
In order to assign the function keys according to your wishes, software is required which has to be downloaded from the SCORPION website:
https://www.scorpion- rugged.de/downloads/scorpion-6-funktionstastensoftware.zip

Unzip the ZIP file and follow the instructions in the included installation and setup guide.

SCANNER

Honeywell 2D Scanner N3680 (optional)

Technical Details

The N3680 barcode scan engine is a revolutionary, fully decoded, compact 2D imager from Honeywell. It inherits the legendary Adaptus™ 6.0 decoding performance in our most compact design. The N3680 2D imager represents a fine balance between size, performance and ease of integration – ensuring an excellent end-user experience.
Not only does the N3680 2D imager support a wide variety of symbologies, including 1D, 2D and PDF417 barcodes, it also includes advanced features that support reading poorly printed barcodes and can even read barcodes directly from smartphone screens.

Operation and configuration of the scanner

The user manual for the Honeywell scanner series N36XX provides a lot of information about the functionality and configuration of the scanner module. Use the included programming codes to transfer the desired configuration settings to the scanner. These programming codes can be scanned directly from the User’s Guide. To do this, follow the instructions in each chapter. At the end of the manual you will also find a “Programming Chart” with the numbers 0-9 to be able to scan sequences of numbers if required. Attention – The configuration data is stored directly in the scanner module and not in the operating system. Consequently, you can use this type of scanner programming regardless of the installed operating system.

EZConfig für Windows

For extensive and complex configurations please install the utility “EZConfig” from Honeywell. This utility is a browser-based interface for reading, editing and restoring scanner configuration data. It also allows you to save a complete configuration as a file (*.exm). This can then be transferred to the scanner of another device via EZConfig. Android devices, on the other hand, have a pre-installed scanner app for setting up the most frequently used scanner configurations.
If you still need help setting up the scanner please contact our support: +49 8142 47284 – 44

Where do I find my Windows license key / license sticker?
For systems with replaceable batteries, the sticker with the license key is located in the battery compartment. For systems with a permanently installed battery, the sticker is on the back of the device. In special cases there may be no license sticker at all, in which case the license key is rooted in the BIOS (OEM 3.0 activation).

I only see a small sticker, but not the license key?
In this case it is the ePKEA version of the license sticker, which means the Bressner OEM product key is integrated into the image. The key itself is not visible to the user (in plain text).

The Windows setup (OOBE) asks for a license key. How can I activate Windows?
Please skip this step without entering a key, the Windows product key was already stored by us in the installation. When the OOBE is completed and an internet connection is established for the first time, Windows 10 activates automatically within a few minutes.

How can I change / scale the size of the system font in the Windows 10 version?
For Window 10 (LTSC V1809) and newer versions, the scaling of the font size can no longer be found under “Control Panel”. Proceed as follows:

Hold down the Windows home key until a square appears.
Release the button and a context menu appears (or right click with a mouse)
Select the item “Settings” and navigate left to “Display”.
Under “Scaling and Arrangement” you can change the percentage scaling value of text, apps and other elements via a drop-down menu
100% represents the lowest and 500% the highest value
ATTENTION: With values above 150%, the display of some Windows menus becomes confusing

Important info about Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 (V1607) / LTSC 2019 (V1809)
Please read and observe the following instructions concerning the operating system(s):

The LTSB / LTSC versions deliberately do not receive any feature updates
▫ Avoidance of lengthy update processes, faulty updates or incompatibilities with new versions
▫ Security updates and patches are performed via Windows update or manual installation
▫ Software update from LTSB/LTSC to standard Win10 version not possible (only by new licensing)
10 years guaranteed support by Microsoft from date of introduction
Full driver and software compatibility (except UWP apps) with all popular Windows 10 versions (Home/Pro/Enterprise)
Domain integration possible
Slim basic installation without superfluous add-ons
Systems can be used worldwide (special regulations of different countries do not apply to IoT Embedded Licensing)
Low-cost licensing model in three price levels, depending on processor performance (Entry, Value, High-End)
ATTENTION: The LTSB/LTSC versions deliberately do not contain a Microsoft Store and the installation of Microsoft (UWP) apps is not possible.
The only exception is the Microsoft CameraApp, which was preinstalled on the device by Bressner Technology in order to be able to use the camera(s). Windows 10-compatible programs, on the other hand, can be installed with no issue (examples for browsers: Microsoft Edge Browser, IE11, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.)
Systems with IoT Embedded Licensing are not covered by support contracts with Microsoft (Enterprise Licensing)
