The Model 8690 operating system is a customized version of Microsoft
®
Windows
CE .NET
®
version 4.20. When using Windows CE .NET, you may notice the follow-
ing:
•
Windows Viewer applications (Excel ® , PowerPoint ® , etc.) are for viewing files
only. They do not have the full functionality that Windows desktop PC applica-
tions have.
• Many applications that you may normally find in your desktop PC operating sys-
tem are not included with Windows CE .NET (for example, Microsoft Outlook,
administrator tools, and fonts).
• Some applications will not work with Windows CE .NET. Check for compatibil-
ity before installing.
• Because Windows CE .NET has limited random access memory (RAM) available
for executing programs, you may experience slower processing times than with a
desktop PC.
Windows CE .Net Help
Access the Windows CE .NET operating system help file from the Start menu. The
help file is provided by Microsoft and is limited to Windows CE .NET and viewer
applications. Because the operating system has been customized for the Model 8690,
some information may not apply.
For additional information about Windows CE .NET, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ (Windows CE .NET 4.2 Help Update).
Saving Registry Settings
If the endpoint loses power during a registry update, the current registry is destroyed.
The last saved version of the registry is recovered when the endpoint is powered on.
To safeguard registry settings, save the registry after you make changes to operating
system preferences from the Control Panel. To avoid locking up the endpoint, do not
make additional changes to your preferences until the Registry Saved Successfully
dialog box appears. You cannot access data stored in the Windows CE .NET registry.
NOTICE
Under normal conditions, the endpoint should remain powered on at all times. If
the endpoint is powered down, make sure to save the registry first.
