Set-Up Wizard
When the Scepter Pro is powered on for the first time, users will see this screen for the Set-Up Wizard.
Pressing the Let’s Get Started button will walk you through setting up your Wi-Fi connection and setting the correct date and time on the device. Alternatively, you can simply select the Skip option and then use the Settings icon on the desktop to configure the Wi-Fi and other settings at your leisure.
You also have the option to scan barcodes that have been created specifically to configure your device. One such example would be to scan a barcode generated by AML Setup Console for use by the AML Setup app running on the device. Scanning the barcode configures the device based on parameters established by an Admin, including network settings, barcode service settings, and user restrictions.
Another example would be to scan a barcode generated by AML Device Manager that would configure the Wi-Fi settings and enroll it into AML Device Manager as well. At that point, configuration settings can be pushed down to the device from ADM. Lastly, you can scan a managed provision QR code generated by third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) applications like Microsoft Intune and SOTI. Scan the barcode and follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.

Getting Started. Quick Tips.
Turning Device On, Off, and Sleep Mode
To turn the Scepter Pro ON, press and hold the red power button for 2 seconds at top left corner of keypad to initiate the power-up sequence. After a few seconds, the device will briefly display the AML logo on the display.
The power-up sequence takes about 20 seconds to complete. You will hear a musical tone indicating powerup is complete.
To turn the device OFF, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, then follow the on-screen prompt. (Shut down or restart).
To place the device in SLEEP mode, momentarily press the power button. The device will enter a lowpower mode, and the display will be off. To wake the device back up, momentarily press the power button again.
Sleep Mode allows the Scepter Pro to conserve its battery power when not in use, while allowing quick resuming of operations when waking the device back up. However, sleep mode will still deplete battery over time. It is recommended to turn the device OFF if not in use for several hours.
Hot Swapping the Battery
The Scepter Pro features an internal li-ion rechargeable backup battery. When the main battery is depleted, it can be swapped for a new battery and the internal backup battery keeps the device powered up during the transition, for up to 10 minutes.
It may take 2 or 3 minutes for the battery level reading to refresh and display the proper charge level.
The backup battery is recharged by the main battery.
Good Practices and Recommendations
· Always charge batteries at room temperature.
· Date-stamp your batteries to monitor their age. At 500 charge/discharge cycles, the batteries will operate at about 80% of their original capacity.
· If placed in storage, or not used for a while, batteries should be stored with no more than 40% charge. Always store batteries at room temperature.
· Avoid complete discharge of batteries to improve lifetime.
· Turn off the Scepter Pro completely if it is not in use for several hours. The power cycle keeps the operating system stable (periodic memory refresh / cleanup) and prevents needless discharging of the batteries. 10
WLAN Setup
Connecting to Wi-Fi is the recommended first action item with a new device. Locate the Settings icon and tap it to enter settings
In the Settings menu select, Network and Internet
Select Internet
Make sure Wi-Fi Toggle is in the ON position. Select the applicable Wi-Fi network and enter login credentials.
NOTE: if the device is connected to Wi-Fi but seems unable to access the Internet (if applicable),check the device time zone and manually set the time zone according to device geographical location.
11
Cleaning the Device
The best way to clean and sanitize your AML mobile computer is to use a diluted solution of three-parts water and one-part rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is a diluted form of isopropyl alcohol. It typically contains 70% isopropyl alcohol with the balance consisting of other denaturants. Do not use full-strength isopropyl alcohol. Apply the solution to a soft cloth first and then wipe all surfaces of the device.
