Chapter 1: Introduction

The HoneywellMarathon handheld computer is a rugged, Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer equipped with a Windows operating
system. Information in this guide includes instruction for all operating systems. Differences are highlighted as follows:

Windows® 7 Professional

Windows® Embedded Standard

Windows® XP Professional

The Marathon is capable of wireless data communications using an 802.11a/b/g/n radio. Additional connectivity options
include Bluetooth and GPS.

The Marathon is a tablet-style computer with a 62-key QWERTY keyboard with number pad and features a 7.1" color display.
The touch screen display supports WVGA(800x480 resolution) and is available optimized for either indoor or outdoor lighting.
The keyboard is illuminated to facilitate use in dimly lit areas. A biometric mouse is included for security and screen navigation.
Available add on modules include a magnetic stripe card reader and a 2D imager.

The Marathon provides the power and functionality of a desktop computer in a portable unit. The desktop dock, much like a
docking port for a conventional laptop, provides provisions for an external monitor and USB connections for devices such as a
USB keyboard and mouse.

About this Guide

This Marathon User's Guide provides instruction for the end-user or system administrator to follow when setting up a new
Marathon.

Microsoft Windows License Agreement (First Boot)

If your Marathon is shipped with a Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed, it may be necessary to
complete the Windows licensing/registration screens when starting the Marathon for the first time. To complete this
information, you may need the Microsoft Windows software/product key that was included with the Marathon.

WWAN and the US and Canada

Use of the WWAN in the US and Canada requires a hip pad or a 62Whr extended battery. Removing the hip pad or extended
battery will disable the WWAN radio in the US and Canada.
