Safety Summary

Before You Begin

This section provides you with safety information, technical su pport
information, and sources for additional product information.

Your safety is extremely important. Read and follow all warnings and
cautions in this document before handling and operating Intermec
equipment. You can be seriously injured, and equipment and data can be
damaged if you do not follow the safety warnings and cautions.

Donotrepairoradjustalone

Do not repair or adjust energized equipment alone under any
circumstances. Someone capable of providing first aid must always be
present for your safety.

First aid

Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately after an injury.
Never neglect an injury, no matter how slight it seems.

Resuscitation

Begin resuscitation immediately if someone is injured and stops breathing.
Any delay could result in death. To work on or near high voltage, you
should be familiar with approved industrial first aid methods.

Energized equipment

Never work on energized equipment unless authorized by a responsible

5700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

IntroductionChapter —1

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com­puter does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al­though the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.

Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put

the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.

If you have at least one device in your 700 Color Computer (radio, scan­ner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to r emain configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:

S The battery discharges beyond this level.

S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

S A cold reset is performed on the computer.

You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Color
Computer, tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab>thePower icon > the
Battery tab. Drag the top slider bar to the right to change the suspend
voltage to favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

PSM Build Version

The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is em­bedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is
not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however, be erased during the re­flashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do
have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM r egion.

To determine what PSM Build is on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start
> Programs > File Explorer. Access the Flash File Store folder from the
My Device root directory, then tap the PSMinfo textfile.Takenoteof
your information, then tap ok to exit.

Resetting Your 700 Color Computer

Performing a Warm-Boot

Performing a warm-boot may be necessary to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system. It does, however, unload all
running programs.

Press and hold the I/O key for about ten seconds, then the 700 Color
Computer continues from the screen you were at before you performed
the warm-boot.

Performing a Cold-Boot

In some cases where the 700 Color Computer completely stops respond­ing, it may be necessary to perform a cold-boot. Because this may result in
data loss, this procedure is not recommended unless all other recovery
methods have failed.

Note: This deletes all programs and data stored in RAM including the Ob­ject Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host computer or a storage
card before performing a cold-boot.

Tips for getting good recognition:

S Write neatly.

S Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross

of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so they are not confused
with the word above. Write periods and commas above the baseline.

S For better recognition, tr y increasing the zoom level to 300% by using

the Tools menu. Recognition does not work well below a 150% zoom
level.

S Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so

that the 700 Color Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.

S Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as ac-

cents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

S If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an

Microsoft ActiveSync

Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:

www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your 700 Color Computer. Synchroniza­tion compares the data on your 700 Color Computer with your desktop
and updates both computers with the most recent information. For exam­ple:

S Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Color

Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.

S Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your

700 Color Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically con­verted to the correct format.

Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

S Back up and restore your 700 Color Computer data.

S Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Color Computer

and desktop.

S Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization

mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.

S Select which information types are synchronized and control how much

data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your 700 Color Computer.

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con­nectyour700ColorComputertoyourdesktop,setupapartnershipso
you can synchronize information between your 700 Color Computer and
your desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first syn­chronization process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your 700 Color Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your 700 Color Com­puter, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the 700 Color
Computer from your computer and you are ready to go!

Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your 700 Color Computer.
You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Ex­change server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the
changes you made on your 700 Color Computer and desktop or server
and updates both computers with the latest information. For information
on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.

Synchronizing Calendar

Calendar items stored on your device can be synchronized with calendar
items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note that you can
only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your
company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.)

Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during
synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures).

For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.

Why Use Categories in the Calendar?

Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For
example, you can easily share your device with another by assigning your
appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use
this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that
project.

Synchronizing Notes

Notes can be synchronized between your desktop and device either
through notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchroniza­tion synchronizes the notes on your 700 Color Computer with Outlook
Notes on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on
your700ColorComputerwiththeMyDocumentsfolderforthe700
ColorComputeronyourdesktop.

To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the
Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time
you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your
device appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain only
text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes con­taining written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition,
all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes on
the device.

To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files informa­tion type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When
you select Files, the My Documents folder for the 700 Color Computer is
created on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents fold­er on your device and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents folder
forthe700ColorComputeronyourdesktoparesynchronized.Password­protected files cannot be synchronized.

ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For more infor­mation on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.

Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or 700
Color Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the
next time you synchronize.

Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then
later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchro­nized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Docu­ments folder for the 700 Color Computer.
