700 Series Mobile Computer Keypad
The 700 Series Mobile Computer provides a 19 key keypad
plus two side scanner trigger buttons. The keypad supports
two “shifted planes” to provide access to additional features.
These keys controlling the switching of the planes are
color-coded on the keypad.
ON/OFF (Suspend and Resume)
Key
In order to conserve power, your Industrial Mobile
Computer automatically suspends when there has been no
activity for a set period of time. The suspend time can be
programmed through the setup parameters
(settings/system/power) for your computer.
To force a Suspend, press and release the key, or a
key that may be defined as the suspend key.
To resume operation, press the key.
Pressing and holding the key for 10 seconds does a
warm reset.
Pressing either of the side yellow scanner buttons resumes
your mobile computer from a suspended mode.

Blue [Alpha] Keys
Press the blue key and keys stay in the Alpha mode
until you press the blue key again.
"NOTE: While in the alpha plane, the keys are somewhat “sticky” therefore,
the shift LED glows red when you are in the Alpha mode.
Pressing the blue Alpha mode Caps key
allows for the next letter to be capitalized. To get an alpha
key, press the key with the corresponding letter the same
number of times as the letter position on the key
EXAMPLE: If you want a ’C’ press three times.
If you need a letter that is on the same key as the last letter
entered. Wait two seconds after the last key press then the
next key press will be the new letter.

Backlight On/Off
To turn the backlight on, hold down the [Gold] key and
press the key. To turn the backlight off, hold down

Battery
"NOTE: You must charge your Mobile Computer for at least 4 hours before
you use it the first time. This is to ensure that the main pack, and if
equipped with a radio battery, are fully charged.
The 700 Series Mobile Computer uses a 1800 mAh Lithium
Ion rechargeable battery. The computer will automatically
monitor the battery power level. When the battery reaches
30% of full capacity, your computer will blink the red Low
Battery LED.
A number of conditions affect how long your mobile
computer operates before going into low battery. Conditions
such as, scanning, time the backlight remains on, the
temperature you are using your mobile computer in, and
radio activity greatly affect operational hours.
Temperatures at both extremes will reduce operation time
and battery life.
Cold Temperatures
Cold temperatures significantly reduce the run down time.
Just like in an automobile, the “cold cranking amps” or the
energy available at cold temperatures is reduced. For
Lithium batteries, the energy available at --4dF(--20
dC)
maybeonly20--40%oftheenergyavailableat68
dF(20 d
C).
