700 Monochrome Mobile
Computer Features
Here are some of the key features that
you will use throughout your daily opera-
tion.
" Action button: Press to open an
item (similar to pressing ENTER on
the keypad).
" Up/Down controls: Press to scroll
through a list (similar to pressing
the arrow keys on a keyboard).
" Power to run your 700 Mobile Com-
puter is supplied by a powerful Li--
Ion battery pack designed to give
you approximately 6--10 hours of op-
eration (depending on application).
In addition, your 700 Mobile Com-
puter contains backup capabilities
to prevent loss of data when the
main battery is discharged or when
switching out battery packs.
" For maximum effectiveness it is
important to leave the main battery
installed in your 700 Mobile Com-
puter even if it is discharged. If the
main battery is removed, it
should be replaced within 10
minutes to avoid the possibility
of data loss .
Learning About the Keypad
Functions
Gold Plane Keys
The [Gold] b plane keys provide you ac-
cess to display controls, special charac-
ters, and Pocket PC options.
Press the Gold key for each gold plane key
stroke you wish to make. For example to
turn on the front light, press and hold the
Gold b key plus the 3 key. To turn the

700 Series Monochrome Mobile Computer Quick Start Guide
7
front light off press the Gold b and the
3 key again.
Alpha (Blue) Plane Keys
The Alpha (Blue) F plane keys work a
bit differently than the Gold plane keys.
When you press the Alpha key, the Scan-
ning/Alpha C LED lights ‘red’ to indi-
cate Alpha mode. The keypad stays in the
Alpha mode until you press it again.
For example, pressing the Alpha F key
and the 1 key allows the next letter to
be capitalized. Again it stays in this mode
until you press the Alpha F key again.
Another example of how this works, if you
want to type a ‘c’ press the F key and the
2 key three times. If you need a letter
that is on the same key as the last letter
entered, wait two seconds after you
pressed the last key, then you can enter
the correct series of keystrokes to create
the next letter.
Scanning/Keypad Shift and
Notification ( C ) Light
The Scanning/Keypad Shift and Noti-
fication status light (LED) C turns
red, green, or yellow.
" Flashing Green: Indicates a ‘good
scan’.
" Blinking Green : Indicates that the
scanner is initializing.
" Red : Indicates the keypad is shifted
to the Alpha (Blue) plane.
" Blinking Red : Indicates the WAN
(GPRS or CDMA) radio is on when
the 700 Monochrome is in suspend
(sleep ) mode (see page 20 “Battery
Management”) .

700 Series Monochrome Mobile Computer Quick Start Guide

"Yellow: When the keypad is put
into the Alpha mode, the LED mo-
mentarily changes from red to yel-
low to indicate a ‘good scan’.
This LED is also the Pocket PC No-
tification signal. It blinks yellow at
regular intervals to indicate that a
Calendar or Task activity occurred.
Battery Status Light
The Battery status light (LED) Bturns
red, green, or yellow.
"Green: When connected to an ex-
ternal power source and the battery
is more than 95% charged.
"Blinking Red: Battery is low. The
speed of the blinking increases as
the battery’s power gets increasing-
ly lower.
"Red: Remains red until the battery
reaches 95% charge level.
"Yellow: No battery pack in your 700
Monochrome. Can also mean that
your 700 Monochrome is out of
charging range 32°to 122°F(0°to
50°C). Once your 700 Monochrome
gets back in range, charging re-
sumes.
"Alternating between Red and
Yellow: The battery pack needs re-
placing.
