Introduction
This manual covers the basic setup operations and use of the Intelligent
Mail Device (IMD) handheld computer.
The IMD may use a variety of Motorola docking cradles for network communication and power charging. Note that this manual briefly describes
the basic features of each cradle. For detailed installation and operation of
each cradle, refer to the specific user manual of each cradle.
What is the IMD Handheld Computer
The IMD is a rugged handheld computer. The IMD is designed for field
applications where fast mail data acquisition and exchange is required.
The IMD serves as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable
access to mobile applications, such as: mobile messaging, queries and
Computer Aided Dispatch. It contains a built-in imager for barcode (1D and
2D labels) and signature capturing.
Wireless communication is through 802.11b Local Area Network (LAN,
WiFi) and Bluetooth
The IMD display is a QVGA 3.5 inch transflective TFT. Equipped with a
back-light, the display is designed to enable clear visibility under all light
conditions.
®
connection to peripheral equipment.
A touch-screen enables easy access to on-screen menu navigation and
signature capturing, using stylus or navigation keys. The screen is
designed to withstand high impact.
The IMD is equipped with an ABC alpha-numeric keypad. The keypad backlight enables to operate the IMD in low-light conditions.
The operating system is WinCE.net
®
-based, running Windows® CE-based
applications.
3
The IMD is powered by a 900 mAh 7.2V Lithium-Ion battery pack (1800
mAh battery is also available). The battery is fully recharged within four
hours, using the IMD cradles or battery charger.
When battery is replaced, a built-in power source, independent of the battery pack, maintains data in the IMD memory for at least 5 minutes.
Unpacking
The IMD package includes the following items:
•One IMD
• One 900 mAh 7.2V (or 1800 mAh 7.2V) Lithium-Ion battery pack
•One Stylus
• Hand-strap
Carefully unpack each item from the shipping carton. Check all items for
shipping damage, and check that you have received all items ordered.
Note: Retain the original carton packaging in the event that the IMD
should need to be returned for service.
The IMD is shipped with a plastic film, protecting the screen. Before
usage, remove the film and use a soft cloth to buff the screen. A clean
screen ensures smooth gliding of the Stylus over the surface.
