Audio System

Speaker

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

The audio system consists of the speaker, internal microphone, and the
external headset jack.

The speaker, which is capable of variable volume levels, is located on the
back of the 751G. This speaker has a transducer volume of 85 dB min at 10
cm (3.9") and a frequency range of 1-8 KHz.

Microphone

Warning: Do not place the speaker next to your ear when the speaker
volume is set to “Loud” (maximum), or you may damage your hearing.

The built-in microphone is located on the bottom of the unit next to the
Hirose docking connector.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

External Headset Jack

The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to the
751G for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three­conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which
disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is
located on the bottom of the 751G next to the Hirose docking connector.

Battery

External headset jack

The 751G comes with a 14.4 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion
(LiIon) battery. To view the status of this battery from the 751G, tap Start
> Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Power icon, then tap the
Battery tab. Tap OK to exit this applet.

Hirose docking connector

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.

Note: Your computer has an internal backup super capacitor, a temporary
power storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. It also shuts
down the 751G if the main battery suddenly goes away (removed from the
computer). Depending on the processes running, it may not have adequate
power for a graceful shutdown. If so, the 751G performs a cold-boot the
next time power is applied.

In short, put the 751G into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove
the main battery.

4 751G Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

If you have at least one device in your 751G (radio, scanner, or imager), 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 remain
configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random
Access Memory) for at least 72 hours at room temperature if the main
battery remains in the mobile computer.

The configuration and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond this level.

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

• A cold-boot (reset) is performed on the computer.

Installing and Charging the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your 751G. To
charge the battery, you need to install it in the 751G.

1 Remove the two thumb screws on the connector cover to release the

hand strap and back cover.

Resetting Your Computer

In some cases where the 751G completely stops responding, it may be
necessary to perform a cold reset. Because cold resetting may result in data
loss, only use this method if all other recovery methods have failed.

Note: Cold resetting 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 reset.

To reset your computer, release the lower clip of the hand strap, remove the
battery pack, press the Reset button, then reinstall the battery pack.

Scanning Bar Codes

Use the area imager to scan and enter bar code data. The 751G supports
reading 1D and 2D images. These bar code symbologies are enabled by
default on the 751G: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN­13, and Datamatrix.

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology,
you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec
Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies. See the Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual available from the Intermec web site
at www.intermec.com.

Scanning with the Area Imager

The 751G has an area imager on the top of the unit that can scan 1D and
2D bar code symbologies. It also supports omni-directional (360°)
scanning where you can position the unit in any orientation to scan a bar
code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a digital picture.

improving its performance.

Software 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 region.

To check to see if your 751G has the latest PSM build or the latest CE
build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then scroll
down for the latest information displayed beneath the 751G Version
Information title.
