Learning About The Keypad
Gold Plane Keys
The Gold bplane keys provide you access to display
controls, special characters, and Windows Mobile
2003 options.
Press the gold bkey for each gold plane key stroke
you wish to make. For example to turn on the front
light, press and hold the gold bkey plus the 3
key. To turn the front light off press the gold and the
3key again.
The Gold/White ckey (Alphanumeric keypad) mo-
mentarily shifts between planes to allow entry of nu-
meric characters in the same input field as alpha char-
acters.
Alpha (Blue) Plane Keys-Numeric Keypad
The Alpha (Blue) Fplane keys work a bit differently
than the gold plane keys. When you press the Alpha
key, the Scanning/Alpha CLED lights ‘red’ to indi-
cate Alpha mode. The keypad stays in the Alpha mode
until you press it again.
For example, pressing the Alpha Fkey and the 1
key allows the next letter to be capitalized. Again it
staysinthismodeuntilyoupresstheAlphakeyagain.
Another example of how this works, if you want to
type a ‘c’ press the Fkey and the 2key 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 se-
ries of keystrokes to create the next letter.
Alpha (Blue) Plane Keys-Alphanumeric Keypad
The Alpha (Blue) Fplane keys work a bit differently
than the gold plane keys. When you press the Alpha
key, the Scanning/Alpha CLED lights ‘red’ to indi-
cate Alpha mode. The keypad stays in the Alpha mode
until you press it again.
The Alpha Keypad features a numeric input array with
special characters on the unshifted plane (silver). Al-

12 700 Color with Windows Mobile 2003
pha characters are on individual keys in the shifted
plane(blue).TheblueAlpha (blue) key is locking
meaning the keypad stays in the alpha mode until you
press the Alpha key again. The Cap gkey causes the
next character to be capitalized; the Cap Lock g
mode causes all characters to be capitalized.
Ambient Light Sensor
The Ambient Light Sensor turns on the backlight for
the keypad (in dark conditions). If the display front
light is already on then it adjusts the brightness ac-
cordingly. This feature can be set through the “Set-
tings” options, accessed from the Start Menu (Set-
tings>System>Backlight>Both Power).
Scanning/Keypad Shift and Notification LED
The Scanning/Keypad Shift and Notification LED
Cturns red, green, or yellow.
SMomentary Green: Indicates a ‘good scan’.
SBlinking Green: Indicates that the scanner is ini-
tializing.
SSteady Red: Indicates the keypad is shifted to the
Alpha (Blue) plane and the 700 Color is On.
SBlinking Red:IndicatestheWAN(GPRSor
CDMA) radio is on when 700 Color is in suspend
mode (seepage23“Battery Management”).
SYellow: When keypad is in alpha mode, the LED
momentarily changes from red to yellow indicating
a ‘good scan’.
This LED is also the Windows Mobile 2003 Noti-
fication signal. It blinks yellow at regular intervals
indicating a Calendar or Task activity occurred.
Action and Up/Down Navigational Buttons
SAction button: Press to open an item (similar to
pressing ENTER on the keypad).
SUp/Down controls: Press to scroll through a list
(similar to pressing the arrow keys on a keyboard).

Battery Status LED
Power to run your 700 Color is supplied by a powerful
Li-Ion battery pack designed to give you approximate-
ly 6-10 hours of operation (depending on application).
In addition, your 700 Color contains backup capabili-
ties 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 Color even if it is
discharged. If the main battery is removed, it should
be replaced within 10 minutes to avoid the possibil-
ity of data loss.
The Battery status LED Bturns red, green, or
yellow.
SSteady Green: Battery is more than 95% charged
and unit is on a charger.
SBlinking Red: Battery is low. The speed of the
blinkingincreasesasthebattery’spowergetsin-
creasingly lower.
SRed: Main battery is low, or if charging, will re-
main red until your 700 Color reaches 95% charge
status.
SYellow: Your 700 Color is on a charging source
and there is no battery pack installed. Can also
mean that your 700 Color is out of charging range
32°to 122°F(0°to 50°C). Once your 700 Color
gets back in range, charging resumes and the LED
changes to red or green.
SAlternating between Red and Yellow: The battery
pack needs replacing.
