gives guidelines as to the acceptable brightness of lasers and LEDs.
This depends on how bright the LED is itself, but also how it is
arranged in a device. The Standard sets the acceptable levels of light
and testing conditions for the product. This Standard, like many others, is written by a group of technical experts and undergoes a rigorous approval process prior to adoption. One should also note that the
specifics of this Standard assume exposure conditions and distances
that present a worse case operation of the product as compared to
the typical and intended operation of this device. Class 1 instruments
are required to carry the following symbol either on the item, or in
manuals to indicate the level of safety when compared against the
Standard:

hazardous radiation exposure.
5100 engine LED Eye Safety Standard Compliance
The 5100 engine have no lasers. The 5100 engine has light emitting
diodes (LEDs) that create the aimer line and illumination. These
LEDs are bright, but testing has been done to demonstrate that the
engine is safe for its intended application under normal usage conditions.
The 5100 engine is certified as Class 1, the safest level. This level
includes relatively dim indicator LEDs and other sources that are
brighter than the 5100 engine. This means the engine is safe under
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
tions of operation are: the device is aimed at a bar code, and the LED
aimer and illumination pattern are activated. You may be exposed to
optical radiation for short periods without negative effects but, as with
any light source, you should avoid looking into the beam.

Extending Battery Life
Battery performance depends on many factors, including the
temperature at which you operate your handheld computer;
the features and/or settings you select and use; peripherals
attached to the computer and other application usage patterns.
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
!
Caution
objects to come in contact with or short-circuit the
battery contacts.
Batteries are expendable parts and gradually wear down and
require longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease in usage time or
an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to
switch to a new battery.
To ensure maximum service life of the HC700-G, always
replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement.
Battery Disposal
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with local requirements. Recycling facilities may not
exist in all areas. Please contact your local environmental
agency for more information regarding proper disposal.

Using the HC700-G
Starting to Work
Place the battery in the HC700-G to boot-up and press the
Power Button (see Figure 1) to turn on the HC700-G; the
Motorola logo will show for about 30 seconds and Windows
Mobile screen will appear. The Windows Mobile screen will
instruct to tap on the screen and to follow the Align Screen
procedure (touch screen calibration).
Turning Off
Turn off the HC700-G when not in use for long duration and
when charging is not available.
Important: When the HC700-G is out of the cradle, do not
attempt to turn off the unit when the Status LED (inside the
Power button) shows red. Pressing the Power button when
the Status LED shows red (system initialization), may cause
damage to the operating system.
Turning off when the unit is on
If the unit is turned on (the screen is on), perform the
following:
Hold down the Power button for at least four seconds
until the screen turns off - the Status LED should be off.
The HC700-G will store the information of the last used
program screen and will turn off. No information will be
lost from the memory. Once turned on again, the HC700G will return to the last program screen that previously in
use.

Using the Keypad
%
The HC700-G keypad enables the user to enter both alphabetic and numeric data to the software application. However,
since the keypad can only contain a limited number of keys,
some special keys are assigned to perform special tasks that
are usually found on full-size computer keyboards. These are
produced using a combination of the existing keys on the
HC700-G keypad.
Two sets of keys exist on the HC700-G:
1. Keys active when in Alphabetic mode, which are those
seen on the overlay of the HC700-G keypad.
2. Keys active when in Shift or Function mode which are
those seen next to each key on the HC700-G keypad
panel.
Press the
<SHIFT> key to toggle between the Alphabetic and
Numeric keypad modes. Figure 7 shows the HC700-G keypad
and Table 3 describes the HC700-G keys assignment.
