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 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
via Microsoft ActiveSync
®
) or a dial-up modem. Ethernet con-
1
nection 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.
Unpacking
The HC700-L basic package includes the following items:
• 1800 mAh 7.2V Lithium-Ion battery pack
•Stylus
• Hand-strap
• This Owner’s Manual
