About the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer

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.

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabilities of this 700 Series Color Mobile Computer, you can keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your 700 Series Computer by 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 and 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.

Converting Writing to Text

S Tap Tools→Recognize.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Rec- ognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

20 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Pocket PC 2002—Chapter 2

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alterna- tes. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

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 that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.

S For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the

Tools menu.

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

that the 700 Series 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

“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

21700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Pocket PC 2002Chapter —2

Drawing on the Screen

Microsoft ActiveSync

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

S http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp

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

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

Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

S Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your

700 Series Computer and desktop computer. 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.

Pocket PC 2002—Chapter 2

With ActiveSync, you can also:

S Back up and restore your 700 Series Computer data.

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

and desktop computer.

S Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization

mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer 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 computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on your 700 Series Computer.

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer, set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your 700 Series Computer and your desktop computer, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your 700 Series Computer. You will notice that information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer has been copied to your 700 Series Computer, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect your 700 Series Computer from your computer and you are ready to go!

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:

S Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft

Outlook on your desktop computer.

S Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail

server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. During synchronization:

S Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on

your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your 700 Series Computer. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.

S E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your 700 Series Computer are

transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.

S E-mail messages in subfolders must be s elected in ActiveSync on your

desktop computer in order to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your 700 Series Computer. You will need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Con- nected” on page 67.

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Series Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your 700 Series Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send , which saves space on your 700 Series Computer.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

When you connect to your e -mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last five days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer.

You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.

You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

S Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options.

For more information, see ActiveSync Help.

S Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the 700 Series Computer. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools → Options → the Message tab, then select your options.

If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools → Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.

Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-mail Server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.

S If you use ActiveSync :

E-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your 700 Series Computer. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.

S If you use SMS:

Messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

S If you use POP3:

and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the 700 Series Computer and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the 700 Series Computer Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the 700 Series Computer.

S If you use IMAP4:

The folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Series Computer or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

Installing Applications

There are multiple ways to get an application to your 700 Series Color Mobile Computer; just as there are multiple ways to package the application for delivery.

75700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Installing ApplicationsChapter —3

Packaging an Application

Use any of the following methods to package an application for installation:

S For very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file

that needs to be delivered.

S It could be a directory structure that contains the application, support-

ing files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.

S Via a CAB file.

Consider either of the following when choosing a location into which to store your application:

S In the basic 700 Series Computer, there are no built-in storage options

other than the Object Store. The Object Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here will be deleted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Series Computer.

S If the optional SecureDigital or CompactFlash storage card is in the sys-

tem, then consider this card the primary location for placing an applications install files. The following folders represent either card:

S The SecureDigital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.

S The CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.

S Files copied to either of these locations will be safe when a cold-boot is

performed on a 700 Series Computer - providing the AutoRun system is installed onto the storage card. You can find this system on the Recovery

CD. Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these cards will automatically extract that CAB file on every cold boot to ensure that your system is properly set up. See page 82 for more details on how this works.

Installing Applications

Consider any of the following options to get the package to the preferred location on your 700 Series Computer.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync

Note: These instructions assume that the 700 Color Management Tools portion of the 700 Series Color Software Tools CD was installed onto your desktop.

The Microsoft ActiveSync tool is located on the 700C Companion CD, which contains Microsoft products, such as Outlook and ActiveSync. See Chapter 2, “Pocket PC 2002,” for information about this tool as provided by Microsoft Corporation.

This can be a serial, USB, Ethernet, InfraRed, or 802.11b ActiveSync connection. Files can then be copied using File Explorer on a PC or a laptop computer. This option is usually only good when updating a few 700 Series Computers.

These instructions assume that Microsoft ActiveSync had been installed onto your desktop computer and is up and running. If not, go to Chapter 2, “Pocket PC 2002,” for an URL from which you can download the latest application.

1 Connect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer via an

ActiveSync cable or IrDA.

Using the FTP Server

4 From your desktop, select Start → Windows Explorer, then browse the

applicable path for any of the system files needed for your 700 Series Computer (listed with their paths). Select to highlight the appropriate file, right-click the file for a pop-up menu, then select Copy.

S Base operating system files:

“C:\Intermec\Intermec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Drive Images”

S CAB files:

“C:\Intermec\Intermec 700 Color Mgmt Tools\Cab Files”

5 Within the Mobile Device directory, go to the directory where you want

the files located on the 700 Series Computer, do a right-click for a popup menu, then select Paste.

6 When all of the files are pasted, perform a warm-boot on the 700 Series

Computer. When the computer reboots, wait for the LED on the top left of your keypad to stop blinking. Tap Start → Programs → File Ex- plorer to locate the newly copied executable files, then tap these files to activate their utilities.

The 700 Series Computer has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network via Ethernet or 802.11b. This “ftp”s to the IP address of the 700 Series Computer and places files. The benefit of using FTP is that a script can be created that will automate the process of copying files to the 700 Series Computer. This option is good for when a large number of 700 Series Computers need to be updated. See Chapter 7, “Programming,” for more information.

Using the Application Manager in Unit Manager

This requires the 700 Series Computer to connect to the network via Ethernet or 802.11b. The process is still manual so it would take longer than the FTP method but it would still be a better option than ActiveSync where many 700 Series Computers need to be updated. The Unit Manager applications are available on the 700 Series Color Unit Manager CD-ROM. For more information, consult your Intermec sales representative.

Using a Storage Card

The following steps pertain to installing an application using a storage card.

Copying to a CompactFlash Card

Follow the steps below to install your application on the device using a CompactFlash storage card:

1 Suspend the 700 Series Color Mobile Computer and remove its Com-

pactFlash drive, which holds a SanDisk CompactFlash storage card.

2 Using a CompactFlash Adapter card, place the CompactFlash Drive in

your desktop PC card drive.

78 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Installing Applications—Chapter 3

3 Create a subdirectory on the PCMCIA CompactFlash drive in which to

store your application.

4 Add the autorun system to the storage card using the CEImager

application. See the Software Tools User’ s Manual for information about CEImager.

5 Copy your application, data files, and all required DLLs and drivers to

the subdirectory created on the CompactFlash drive.

6 Add your application to the AUTOUSER.DAT file on the

“\Storage Card\2577” directory that contains the following statement, where your directory is the directory on the CompactFlash storage card where the application was installed, and yourapp.exe is the name of your application. Finish the “RUN=” statement with a carriage return linefeed combination. There may be multiple run statements in the file.

RUN=\<your directory>\<yourapp.exe>

7 Remove the CompactFlash drive from your desktop computer and rein-

stall it into the 700 Series Computer.

8 Warm-boot the 700 Series Computer to add these files to the Compact-

Flash storage card.

If the AUTOUSER.DAT file is found and the “RUN=” statement is correct, then the task manager will launch and execute your program on startup.

Copying to a SecureDigital Storage Card

Do the same steps as for the CompactFlash storage Card, except replace the “\Storage Card\2577” directory with the “\SDMMC Disk\2577” directory.
