Introduction

Motorola congratulates you on your purchase of the Enhanced PowerPad Handheld Data Terminal! Its unique functionality and features make this state-of-the-art ruggedized Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) superior for use in a wide range of applications.

Note that in this manual the Enhanced PowerPad is also referred to as PowerPad.

This manual covers the basic setup operations and use of the PowerPad terminal. Since your PowerPad applications are designed by your company or organization, this manual does not cover any of the software applications resident in your PowerPad. For software applications description, refer to the specific application manual or contact your company or organization representative for instructions.

The PowerPad network communication and power charge is through a Universal Office Dock (UOD) unit. Note that this manual briefly mentions the UOD. For detailed installation and operation of the UOD, refer to UOD User Manual, Motorola P.N. 98-08901C59.

What is the PowerPad Terminal

The PowerPad handheld data terminal is a ruggedized device, designed for field applications where fast data acquisition is required.

The PowerPad carries the functionality of a state-of-the-art Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable access to mobile applications, such as mobile messaging, queries and Computer Aided Dispatch.

It contains a variety of options, including built-in barcode scanner (for 1D and 2D labels), Bluetooth

and General Packet Radio Ser-

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.

The PowerPad is powered by a 7.2V 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack that supports 12 hours of typical operation. The battery is fully recharged within three hours, using the UOD unit.

Unpacking

The PowerPad package includes the following items:

• One PowerPad unit

• One 7.2V 1800 mAh Li-ion battery pack

• One Stylus pen

• This Owner’s Manual

• Safety and General Information leaflet, Motorola P.N., 6802970C29

Carefully unpack each item from the shipping carton. Check all items for shipping damage, and check that you have received all items ordered. If there is damage or missing items, retain the shipping carton for inspection.

The battery is shipped from factory uncharged and not installed. Charge the battery fully for 24 hours before using the PowerPad for the first time.

The PowerPad is shipped with a plastic film, protecting the screen. Before usage, remove the film and use a soft cloth to buff the display. This ensures smooth gliding of the Stylus pen over the surface.
