®

and General Packet Radio Ser-

1

vice (GPRS) radios, all with internal antennas for increased rugge­dization.

The 3.5” color touch screen with illumination enables easy access
to various applications and signature capture in all light conditions.
The IrDA port serves for data exchange between the PowerPad and
data network using the Universal Office Dock (UOD) unit.

®

The PocketPC 2003

-based operating system supports multimedia
and audio applications, using a built-in microphone, speaker and
buzzer. A removable CompactFlash (accessed only by service) is
used for memory expansion and operating system updates.
