SPower to run your 700 Color is supplied by a pow-
erful Li-Ion battery pack designed to give you
approximately 6-10 hours of operation (depending
on application). In addition, your 700 Color con-
tains backup capabilities to prevent loss of data
when the main battery is discharged or when
switching out battery packs. For maximum effec-
tiveness it is important to leave the main battery
installed in your 700 Color even if it is discharged.
If the main battery is removed, it should be re-
placed within 10 minutes to avoid the possibility of
data loss.
Learning About the Keypad
Functions
Gold Plane Keys
The [Gold] plane keys provide you access to dis-
play controls, special characters, and Pocket PC op-
tions.
Press the Gold key for each gold plane key stroke you

press and hold the Gold key plus the ‘3’ key.
To turn the front light off press the Gold and the ‘3’
key again.
Alpha (Blue) Plane Keys
The Alpha (Blue) plane keys work a bit different-
ly than the Gold plane keys. When you press the Al-
pha key, the Scanning/Alpha 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 key and the ‘1’
key allows the next letter to be capitalized. Again

times. If you need a letter that is on the same key as
