Welcome

Welcome to the world of Motorola digital wireless communications! We are pleased that you have chosen the Motorola HC700-i iDEN wireless Handheld Computer.

The HC700-i unique functionality and features make this state-of-the-art device, superior for use in a wide range of data collection and management applications.

This manual covers the basic operations and use of the HC700-i. However, evaluation of the HC700-i performance

can be fully achieved by referring to Microsoft

Windows® Mobile 2005 for Pocket PC Phone Edition documentation and by using the demo software applications provided with the HC700-i.

What is the HC700-i Handheld Computer?

The HC700-i is a rugged handheld computer. The HC700-i is designed for field applications where fast data acquisition and exchange is required.

The HC700-i serves as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable access to Microsoft

2005 for Pocket PC Phone Edition applications. It contains a built-in imager (camera), capable of reading one of the following barcode options: 1D or 1D and PDF or 2D and PDF.

Windows® Mobile

Wireless communication enables access to the outside world through Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) and

802.11b/g Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN, WiFi).

Data exchange with peripheral wireless equipment can be established through Wireless Personal Area Network

(WPAN) using Bluetooth

radio. Personal wireless equipment

may include printers and body-worn devices.

When docked in a cradle, the HC700-i supports full RS232 and USB (1.1 Client) serial communication with a host com-

puter (USB via Microsoft

ActiveSync®) or a dial-up modem.

Ethernet connection can be established through

10/100 base T interface via multi-slot communication cradles. The HC700-i can also communicate through a built-in IrDA port.

The HC700-i is equipped with a QVGA 3.5 inch transflective TFT display, built to withstand high impact. Display backlight is designed to enable clear screen visibility under varied light conditions.

A touch-screen enables easy on-screen menu navigation, in addition to using keypad navigation. The keypad uses an adjustable backlight illumination, designed for low-light working conditions.

The HC700-i is powered by an 1800 mAh 7.2V Lithium-Ion battery pack. The battery is fully recharged within four hours when the HC700-i is docked in a cradle.

A drained battery can be replaced without data loss from the HC700-i memory ("hot swap"). A built-in power source, independent of the battery pack, maintains the data in the HC700i memory for at least 30 minutes until a fresh battery is placed.

The HC700-i may use a line of Motorola docking cradles for network communications and power charging.

The personal desktop cradle is designed for office use of the HC700-i. The 8 and 4 slot charging/communication cradles provide multi-slot docking in large operations. The vehicle cradle is used for the mobile applications of the HC700-i, by allowing charging while driving.

For detailed installation and operation of each cradle, refer to the specific user manual of each cradle.
