Marathon Agency Compliance
Marathon computers meet or exceed the requirements of all applicable standards organizations for safe operation. However, as
with any electrical equipment, the best way to ensure safe operation is to operate them according to the agency guidelines that
follow. Read these guidelines carefully before using your Marathon.
This documentation is relevant for the following model: Marathon Field Computer.
Laser Warnings
Note: A 2D Imager Add-on module may be attached to the Marathon. Laser warnings and labels that follow are specifically for
a Marathon with a 2D Imager.
If the following label is attached to your product, it indicates the Marathon contains an engine with a laser aimer:
• Do not look into the laser’s lens.
• Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
• Do not remove the laser caution labels from the Marathon.
• Do not connect the laser bar code aperture to any other device. The laser bar code aperture is certified for use with the
Marathon only.

FCC Part 15 Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The

Getting Started
Overview
The Marathon hand held computer is a rugged, Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer equipped with a Windows operating system.
Information in this guide includes instruction for all operating systems. Procedure differences are highlighted as follows:
The Marathon is capable of wireless data communications using an 802.11a/b/g/n radio. Additional connectivity options include
Bluetooth and GPS.
The Marathon is a tablet-style computer with a 62-key QWERTY keyboard with number pad and features a 7.1" color display.
The touch screen display supports WVGA (800x480 resolution) and is available optimized for either indoor or outdoor lighting.
The keyboard is illuminated to facilitate use in dimly lit areas. A biometric mouse is included for security and screen navigation.
Available add on modules include a magnetic stripe card reader and a 2D imager.
The Marathon provides the power and functionality of a desktop computer in a portable unit. The desktop dock, much like a
docking port for a conventional laptop, provides ports for an external monitor and USB connections for devices such as a USB
keyboard and mouse.
Note: Contact Customer Support (page 14-1) for upgrade availability if your application or control panels are not the same as
the application or control panels presented in this guide.
