700 Color Mobile Computer Features
Here are some of the key features that
you will use a lot throughout your daily
operation.
"Action button: Press to open an item
(similar to pressing ENTER on the
keypad).

700 Series Color Mobile Computer Quick Start Guide

"Up/Down controls: Press to scroll
through a list (similar to pressing
the arrow keys on a keyboard).
"Power to run your 700 Color is sup-
plied by a powerful Li--Ion battery
pack designed to give you approxi-
mately 6--10 hours of operation (de-
pending on application). In addition,
your 700 Color contains backup ca-
pabilities 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 bat-
tery installed in your 700 Color even
if it is discharged. If the main bat-
tery 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 display controls, special charac-
ters, and Pocket PC options.
Press the Gold key for each gold plane key
strokeyouwishtomake.Forexampleto
turn on the front light, 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 differently than the Gold plane keys.
When you press the Alpha key, the Scan-
ning/Alpha LED lights ’red’ to indicate
Alpha mode. The keypad stays in the Al-
pha mode until you press it again.

For example, pressing the Alpha key
and the ‘1’ key allows the next letter
to be capitalized. Again it stays in this
mode until you press the Alpha key again.
Another example of how this works, if you
want to type a ‘c’ press the 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.
Ambient Light Sensor
Ambient light sensor turns on the display
lighting when conditions warrant but au-
tomatically turn if off again as surround-
ing light increases. This conserves your
700 Color’s battery power. This is a fea-
ture which can be set by you through the
“Settings” options, accessed from the Start
Menu (Settings>Backlight>Both Power).
Scanning/Keypad Shift and
Notification (checkmark icon) Light
The Scanning/Keypad Shift and Noti-
fication status light (LED) turns
red, green, or yellow.
"Green, indicates a ’Good Scan’ and
while the scanner is initializing.
"Red, keypad is shifted to the AL-
PHA (Blue) plane and the 700 Color
is On.
"Blinking Red, radio is powered up
when 700 Color is in suspend mode.

"Yellow, ’Good Scan’ and keypad is
shifted into the ALPHA mode. Also
when the Notification signal blinks
on periodically to indicate that some
event has occurred and you need to
take some action.
Battery Status Light
The Battery status light (LED) turns
red, green, or yellow.
"Green, 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, main battery is low or if charg-
ing will remain red until your 700
Color reaches 95% charge status.
"Yellow, no battery pack in your 700
Color. Can also mean that your 700
Color is out of charging range 32 to
122°F(0to50°C). Once your 700
Color gets back in range, charging
resumes.
"Alternating between red and
yellow means the battery pack
needs replacing.
