About the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer

Audio System

Speaker

A speaker capable of variable volume levels is located on the back of the
computer. This speaker has a transducer volume of 85 dB min at 10 CM
and a frequency range of 1-8 KHz.

Internal Microphone

The internal microphone is located on the bottom of the unit to the left of
the hirose connector.

External Headset Jack

The external headset jack connects a mono headset to your mobile com­puter for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-conduc­tor 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 mobile computer to the right of the hirose connector.

Battery

The 700 Series Computer comes equipped with a nominal 14.4
Watt-hour, 7.2V (two 2000 mAh cells), replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon)
battery. To view the status of this battery from the 700 Series Computer,
tap Start → Settings → the System tab → the Power icon to view the
current status of both the main battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to
exit this information.

Introduction—Chapter 1

Note: The Unit Information control panel applet is only available in the
700 Series Computer if Intermec Content is enabled, the Plus region is
enabled and installed, and a laser scanner is installed.

You can also view the battery status for the 700 Series Computer by
accessing the Unit Information control panel applet. Tap the Unit
Information icon, then tap the Battery Status tab to view the current
status. Tap ok to exit this information.

Low Battery Shutdown

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com­puter will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al­though the battery will 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.

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:

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.

3700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

IntroductionChapter —1

System Status Maintained

System status is maintained in “suspend” when the main battery is re­moved:

S 10 minutes for 64 MB low-power chips

S 5 minutes for 128 MB low-power chips

CAB Files Within 700C Software Tools CD

If you leave the default destination while you install the “\700 Color
Mgmt Tools” directory onto your desktop PC, then “C:\Intermec\Inter­mec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Cab Files” will be the default directory. There
are folders within the “\Cab Files” directory that contain demos and pro­gram files. See the 700 Series Color Software Tools CD User’ s Manual for
more information about these files.

Modem Support

Modem PC Cards are not supported by the 700 Series Computer. Howev­er, modem options do include the following:

Network Support

S Switchable dock that includes a built-in modem and a serial port be-

tween which an application can switch.

S Mini-Landline Modem that can be tethered to the port on the bottom

of the 700 Series Computer.

S Other external modems that may be connected to the bottom of the

700 Series Computer or to the dock.

Radio CompactFlash Cards cannot be installed by a user. The 700 Series
Computer must be serviced to install or replace radios. See Chapter 4,
“Network Support” for more information.

S 802.11b radio

S Integrated GSM/GPRS radio

S CDPM/1xRTT radio

S Wireless printing equipped with a Bluetooth qualified module by Socket

4 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Removeable Card Support

To access either the CompactFlash (CF) or SecureDigital (SD) card slot,
locate the access door at the top of the 700 Series Computer, remove its
two screws, then remove the door.

CompactFlash Cards

Support is limited to one CompactFlash (CF) Storage Card in the 700 Se­ries Computer, either for storage or for the 802.11b radio.

SecureDigital Cards

Support is limited to one SecureDigital (SD) Storage Card in the 700 Se­ries Computer for storage.

MultiMediaCards

MultiMediaCards (MMCs) are not supported in the 700 Series Comput­ers because current technology shows that SD cards will quickly surpass
MMC cards in storage capacity.

allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop
computer with your 700 Series Computer. Picture yourself in the follow­ing situations:

S A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab

your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer and catch the bus just in
time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your 700 Series
Computer up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes
about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read a nd respond
to e-mail messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync trans­fers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message
responses to your desktop computer. For more information on Active­Sync, see “Microsoft ActiveSync” on page 29.

S While walking with a colleague, your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile

Computer rings. You look at the caller ID and see it is your manager
who is calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emer­gency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper orga­nizer, you press a button on your 700 Series Computer and instantly see
a list of today’ s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting
while on the call. You hang up, send an e-mail with a schedule request
for the three of you at the desired location. For more information on
scheduling appointments and meetings, see “Microsoft Pocket Outlook”
on page 31.

S You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You

download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desk­top computer and then synchronize it with your 700 Series Computer.
At dinner, you pull out your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer
and review your movie options with your friends. For more information
on downloading Web pages to your 700 Series Computer, see “Pocket
Internet Explorer” on page 62.
