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 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 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.
Linear Imager/Keypad Shift and Notification
LED
The Linear Imager/Keypad Shift and Notification
LED Cturns red, green, or yellow.
SMomentary Green: Indicates a ‘good scan’.
SBlinking Green: Indicates that the imager is initial-
izing.
SSteady Red: Indicates the keypad is shifted to the
Alpha (Blue) plane and the Model 730 is On.

momentarily changes from red to yellow indicating

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 Model 730 is supplied by a power-
ful Li-Ion battery pack designed to give you approxi-
mately 6-10 hours of operation (depending on ap-
plication). In addition, your Model 730 contains
backup capabilities to prevent loss of data when the
main battery is discharged or when switching out bat-
tery 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 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 Model 730 reaches 95% charge
status.
