Learning About The Keypad
Gold Plane Keys
The Gold bplane keys provide you access to
display controls, special characters, and Win-
dows 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 b
key plus the 3key. To turn the front light
off press and hold the gold and the 3key
again.
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 Imager/Alpha
CLED lights ‘red’ to indicate Alpha mode.
ThekeypadstaysintheAlphamodeuntilyou
press it again.
For example, pressing the Alpha Fkey and
the 1key allows the next letter to be capi-
talized. 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 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 series of key-
strokes to create the next letter.

Battery Status LED
Power to run your Model 730 is supplied by a
powerful Li-Ion battery pack designed to give
you approximately 6-10 hours of operation
(depending on application). In addition, your
Model 730 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 Model
730 even if it is discharged. If the main bat-
tery is removed, it should be replaced within
10 minutes to avoid the possibility 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 blinking increases as the battery’s power
gets increasingly lower.
SRed: Main battery is low, or if charging,
will remain red until your Model 730
reaches 95% charge status.
