Welcome

Welcome to the world of Motorola digital wireless communi­cations! We are pleased that you have chosen the Motorola HC700-L wireless Handheld Computer.
The HC700-L 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-L. However, evaluation of the HC700-L performance
can be fully achieved by referring to Microsoft
®
Pocket PC® documentation and using the demo software applications provided with the HC700-L.

What is the HC700-L Handheld Computer?

The HC700 is a rugged handheld computer. The HC700 is designed for field applications where fast data acquisition and exchange is required.
The HC700-L serves as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable access to Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 applications. It contains a built-in imager (camera) capable of reading 1D and 2D barcode (optional) labels. The imager can also capture handwritten images such as signatures and cor­relate the signature to an adjacent barcode.
Wireless communication enables access to the outside world through 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 such as the Hands Free Imager HFI200 - a small size imager/barcode reader, worn on two fingers.
When docked in a cradle, the HC700-L supports RS232 and USB (1.1) serial communication with a host computer (USB
1
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-L can also communicate through a built-in IrDA port.
The HC700-L 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-L is powered by an 1800 mAh 7.2V Lithium-Ion battery pack. The battery is fully recharged within four hours when the HC700-L is docked in a cradle.
A drained battery can be replaced without data loss from the HC700-L memory ("hot swap"). A built-in power source, inde­pendent of the battery pack, maintains the data in the HC700­L memory for at least 5 minutes until a fresh battery is placed.
The HC700-L 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-L. The eight and four slot charging/communication cradles provide multi-slot docking in large operations. The vehicle cradle is used for the mobile applications of the HC700-L, allowing charging while driving.
For detailed description, installation and operation of each cradle, refer to the specific user manual of each cradle.
