Q. Can I use my
existing FS/2 or Hunter 16 software on the FS/3? |
A. Yes you should be able to.
There are some minor differences detailed in Technical Note 531. If you do experience any
problems contact your software provider.
|
|
Q. My
FS/3 does not get a full working day from a set of fully charged batteries. |
A. Try using UTIL /F1 from the
DOS C:\ prompt before running your software. If this does not work contact your software
supplier to make sure they are using all the FS/3 BIOS power saving functions.
|
|
Q. Can I use
EMM386.EXE on the FS/3? |
A. No, the FS/3 BIOS is
incompatible with EMM386.EXE.
|
|
Q. How
can I load software onto, or transfer data to and from the FS/3? |
A. You can use the free
Husky file transfer utility called HCOM. Make sure you have the proper
communications cable.
|
|
Q. My
FS/3 has been stored for some time and does not appear to work now. |
A. If the FS/3 has a rechargable
battery connect it to an FS/3 AC adaptor and leave the battery to charge for at least 1/2
hour; otherwise fit a set of new size AA alkaline batteries.
To reset the unit hold
down the two shift keys and the power key for 5 seconds before releasing all three keys.
The unit will then run but will
need to be left on charge or with good batteries fitted for at least 24 hours for the
internal backup battery to recharge.

|
Q. Are
there any barcode readers which I can use with my FS/3? |
A. Yes,
Handheld Systems recommends and supplies the Symbol laser scanner for use
with the FS/3.
|
|
Q. I
have a serial device which is powered from the RS232 port. Can I use it with the
FS/3? |
A. FS/3's fitted with a
single 25 pin D-type serial port or 1 or 2 12 pin circular serial ports can supply 5V at
up to 500mA through these ports.
NOTE: FS/3's
fitted with 9 pin D-type connectors cannot supply power from the RS232 port.
|
|
Q. Can I use my FS/2
AC adapter with my FS/3? |
A. Yes, the FS/3 can be used
with all the FS/2 accessories.
|
|
Q. What
PCMCIA cards can I use with the FS/3 PCMCIA slot? |
A. The PCMCIA slot is internal
so the card has to be 'factory fitted' and is not user accessible. Standard options are
10, 20 and 40MB Sandisk cards. Other options such as modems, GSM cards, etc. can be fitted
on special request. Contact Handheld Systems for further details.
|
|
Q. What manuals and user guides are
available for the FS/3 |

Husky FS/3 User's Guide tells how to use and look after the Husky FS/3. The Husky

Husky FS/3.

operating system is the industry standard for desktop computers, Microsoft
MS-DOS. The version used is 6.22.

|
Q.What type of processor is fitted to
the FS/3? |
A. 32 bit Intel 386EX.
|
|
Q. How long does the internal backup
battery last in the FS/3? |
A. Built in trickle charge battery
provides data integrity for at least 4 days at 68F when the unit operates with all
other power removed and under normal conditions. Note, this reduces with
temperature extremes.
Data written to the internal
disk is retained 'indefinitely'; therefore data should always be written to disk before
storing the FS/3 for any length of time.
