New extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use.

The extended battery can be recharged using two methods:

l By inserting the battery in a powered desktop dock spare battery charging bay.

l By inserting the battery in a Marathon Battery Charger charging bay.

Refer to the Marathon Battery Charger User Guide for instruction.

2-2

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.

Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus
from the screen.

Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.

Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen.

Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:

l Open applications

l Choose menu commands

l Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes

l Drag the slider in a scroll bar

l Select text by dragging the stylus across the text

l Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data

l Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager or an input/output device connected to a

serial port.

A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.

A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touchscreen tap is treated as a right click. The
mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.

Note: If the mouse icon is not displayed, this feature can be enabled by tapping the PenMount icon in

the System Tray. From the menu that pops up, tap the Right Button to enable the mouse icon. When
this option is enabled, a checkmark is displayed in the menu.

The Biometric Mouse can be used instead of the touch screen.

A stylus replacement kit is available.

2-3

Using the Biometric Mouse

The biometric mouse is located to the right of the keypad. Slide a finger over the biometric mouse to move the cursor in the
direction the finger moves.

Tapping the biometric mouse once generates a left-click, tapping twice rapidly generates a double-click.

Tapping the biometric mouse and holding generates a right-click.

Note: If experiencing difficulties with the biometric mouse navigation, try varying the finger pressure on the

biometric mouse.

The system administrator can disable the biometric mouse navigation function.
