For Handspring Visors with built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries (Prism, Edge, Pro), 
return the unit to the charging base whenever not in use.  Note: This is the normal operating 
procedure suggested by Handspring to ensure these models get their batteries constantly 
topped off.  

 

For Handspring Visors using alkaline batteries, consider purchasing rechargeable NiMH AAA 
batteries.  A list of batteries/chargers is provided on the TokenWorks web site in the support 
section.

Tracks Decoded: 1, 1 and 2, or 1,2 and 3 
Decoding Algorithms: ISO, AAMVA, or 777 
Raw Data Mode: On or Off 
 
ISO mode decodes data using 7 bits/char. on track 1, 5 bits/char. on track 2, and 5 
bits/char. on track 3.    777 mode decodes data using 7 bits/char on tracks 1, 2 and 3.   
AAMVA mode decodes data according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle 
Administers specification.   
 
Raw Data Mode turns off the decode algorithms and displays the ASCII encoded raw 
magnetic head data.
