About Your Beetle-B/A/N/G

Unpack and assemble your Beetle-B/A/N/G unit as shown. Your Beetle-B/A/N/G is a self-contained Wi-Fi optimizer. The user interface (iPAQ),

antenna and power connections are all accessible, but there is usually no need to open the protective, yellow hard case. If you should need

to open the case to remove the iPAQ or address the internal connections, simply unhook all 4 latches on the case. Remove top cover to reveal

iPAQ, cooling fan and power/data connector. The Beetle-B/A/N/G receiver and battery system are below these components. The iPAQ may be

disconnected and removed by users but the other components should only be accessed by Berkeley technicians. Removing such components

will void your hardware warranty.

Power up the iPAQ by pushing the power button in the upper right corner of the iPAQ. Connect the appropriate frequency antenna to the SMA

antenna input. iPAQs shipped by BVS are optimized for the Beetle-B/A/N/G.

iPAQs supplied by BVS have the Beetle-B/A/G software pre-installed. If you need to install the Beetle-B/A/N/G software, see the software instal-

lation/re-installation section.

Tap the windows Start icon in the upper left corner and then choose Beetle-B/A/N/G in the pulldown menu. If the Beetle-B/A/N/G does not appear

in the pulldown menu, tap on the “Programs” folder. Tap on the Beetle-B/A/N/G icon.

Running the Beetle-B/A/N/G software will power the Beetle-B/A/N/G Wi-Fi optimizer.

If the Beetle-B/A/N/G software loses communication with the Beetle-B/A/N/G, perform a soft reset by pressing the iPAQ’s reset button. If com-

munications problems persist, perform a hard reset by holding down the two outer buttons on the front of the iPAQ while holding in the soft reset

button. Remember, hard resets erase all data collected and software installed so backup all data and see software re-installation for details.

Accessories

Your Beetle-B/A/N/G includes the following accessories: 3

antennae, spare data/power cable (for iPAQ), larger case grip

with hex key tools, an AC power/charging adapter, user’s man-

ual, SD software install card and CD-ROM software installer.

Beetle-B/A/N/G Power System

Beetle-B/A/N/G offers three choices of powering: internal

Li-PO battery, external 12VDC (11-15 V) power supply or exter-

nal auxiliary battery. The power smoothly transitions from one

source to another providing uninterrupted functionality while

plugging or unplugging the external supplies. The IPAQ runs

from the built-in battery or from an internal regulated 5VDC

supply when the external 12VDC is applied. Both batteries –

the IPAQ built-in battery and the system Li-PO battery – are

charged when the external 12VDC is applied. The charge time

is 3 to 4 hours depending on the depth of discharge and the

ambient temperature. The run time exceeds 3 hours when the

batteries are completely charged.

The IPAQ battery is usually depleted at the same time as the

system Li-PO battery. However, if the IPAQ battery is low while

the system is still running, the equalizing mode of operation

is provided. In this mode the IPAQ is powered from the sys-

tem Li-PO battery. To enter this mode, set the IPAQ to “USB

Charge” ON. This may prolong the total system run time. Do

not keep the “USB Charge” setting ON all the time since it

will drain the system battery faster, eventually reducing the

system run time.

It is recommended to keep the IPAQ and/or the application

software OFF while charging. The system supports a simul-

taneous charge and run though the charge time may substan-

tially increase due to increased internal temperature.

When the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowed

for the Li-PO batteries the system automatically interrupts

the charge. The red LED that can be seen through the bottom

transparent hatch will be blinking. The same LED is solid ON

when the charge is going and turns OFF completely when the

charge is finished.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IPAQ AND Beetle-B/A/N/G POWER ISSUES

Your Beetle-B/A/N/G Wi-Fi optimizer and your HP iPAQ are

both charged and/or powered through the 4 pin power port at

the bottom of the Beetle-B/A/N/G. Both the receiver and iPAQ

have their own internal batteries but both of these batteries are

maintained and charged through the 4 pin power port. Here are

some tips for prolonging the life of your hardware and data:

• The iPAQ’s internal batteries are discharged when the iPAQ is

“off” to maintain its memory. Keep the iPAQ charged! Charge

it at least once a week!

• If the iPAQ’s batteries are completely discharged, it will need

several hours of charging before it can be powered on or even

flash the charging (yellow) LED. Once the iPAQ is charged

it may need to be soft or hard reset before powering on. The

Beetle-B/A/N/G software must be re-installed from an SD card

or downloaded via ActiveSync. In order to install software

using the SD card, the iPAQ must be removed.

1. Unhook all 4 latches and remove the top cover.

2. Remove the (optional) DF antenna by loosening the 2 thumb

screws and unscrewing the antenna connection.

3. Be sure not to touch the air intake cooling fan while it is

spinning. This fan spins to regulate the temperature of the

receiver and batteries so be sure to keep all obstructions and

objects from the fan’s air path.

4. Remove the power/data connector at the bottom of the iPAQ.

This connector provides communication and charging/battery

power to the iPAQ.

You may now remove the iPAQ from its holder for other uses.

HARDWARE CONNECTION ISSUES

When the Beetle-B/A/N/G software is started, the following screen will appear if

the software was unable to detect the hardware. The following may cause this:

1. Loose connection to iPAQ serial cable. The serial cable may not be fully seated

in the power/data slot on the bottom of the iPAQ. Check the connection. A soft

boot of the iPAQ may be required. Soft booting is accomplished by pressing the

recessed reset button on the iPAQ with the stylus.

2. Low batteries. Test this by running off of A/C power using the supplied 4 pin

power connection to the Beetle-B/A/N/G and the iPAQ. The charge (Yellow) LED

on the iPAQ should be flashing if the cable is connected correctly and the Beetle-

B/A/N/G red power LED should be on.

3. COM port is held open. Soft boot the iPAQ to clear out the possibility that the

serial port is being held open by a previously running copy of the Beetle-B/A/N/G

software.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION/RE-INSTALLATION

The Beetle-B/A/N/G software can be installed/re-installed in via the included SD

card. There are 3 different folders for 3 different platforms:

iPAQ folder:

Beetle-BANG iPAQ software

MS .NET Compact Framework for iPAQ

PC folder:

Beetle-BANG Chameleon for PC

PC/XP folder:

ActiveSync for Windows XP PCs (not Vista)

All applications can be installed from their setup files.

OPERATIONAL TIPS

SURVEYING

While surveying, Beetle-B/A/N/G achieves the most accuracy

when antenna is at a vertical 90 degree angle and completely

perpendicular to the ground or floor.

OPTIMIZATION

Remember that your iPAQ comes from the BVS factory opti-

mized for powerful spectrum analysis right out of the box, but

sometimes these optimized settings can be lost (back to HP’s

factory defaults) when the iPAQ’s battery completely drains.

The following are procedures for:

Disabling Bluetooth and 802.11 on an iPAQ

It is essential when running your Beetle-B/A/N/G software that

you do not have either 802.11b or Bluetooth running on the

same iPAQ. This will interfere with Beetle-B/A/N/G measure-

ments in the 2.4 GHz band.

Turning Off Bluetooth

HP iPAQ 27xx series:

From the main screen on the iPAQ, select the antenna icon in

the lower right-hand portion of the screen. Then choose the

Bluetooth button to turn off Bluetooth.

The blue LED on the iPAQ should not be flashing when the

radio is off.

Turning Off 802.11b

HP iPAQ 27xx series:

From the main screen on the iPAQ, select the antenna icon in

the lower right-hand portion of the screen. Then choose the

Wi-Fi button to turn off 802.11b.

Battery Settings

NOTE: In order to prevent the Ipaq from freezing when running

Beetle-B/A/N/G software, make sure to:

1. ALWAYS leave the checkboxes in the SETTINGS/SYSTEM/

POWER screen unchecked. Power-save mode will lock up the

application due to the fact that the application is stopped while

communicating with the hardware..

2. Make sure that the battery level on the Ipaq remains above

40%. The serial card interface may cease to operate when the

battery level is under 40%.

To resolve the freeze, simply press the soft reset button on the

iPAQ with the stylus.

Disabling Screen Saver on an iPAQ

DockWare (by default) runs a screen saver with a calendar

on any new iPAQ (47xx series). This could interfere with the

operation of Beetle-B/A/N/G software. To disable:

1. Tap on the Windows icon in the upper-left corner of the iPAQ

screen.

2. Tap “Programs” in the menu.

3. Tap on “DockWare”.

4. Once running, tap-and-hold on the screen.

5. Uncheck “Start Automatically”.

6. Now tap the upper right corner of the screen to terminate

DockWare (where the ‘X’ would usually be).

7. DockWare is now disabled. It will need to be disabled again

if the batteries completely discharge on the iPAQ.

Choose Settings and then choose System set-

tings at the bottom. Select battery icon for Power

Settings to access this screen. These power set-

tings come unchecked from the BVS factory to

ensure Beetle-B/A/G software runs optimally.
