Lear ning Abou t The Keypad

Gold Plane Keys

The Gold b plane keys provide you access to display

controls, special characters, and Windows Mobile

2003 options.

Press the gold b key for each gold plane key stroke

you wish to make. For example to turn on the front

light, press and hold the gold b key plus the 3

key. To turn the front light off press and hold the gold

and the 3 key again.

Alpha (Blue) Plane Keys-Numeric Keypad

The Alpha (Blue) F plane keys work a bit differently

than the gold plane keys. When you press the Alpha

key, the Imager/Alpha C LED lights ‘red’ to indi-

cate Alpha mode. The keypad stays in the Alpha mode

until you press it again.

For example, pressing the Alpha F key and the 1

key allows the next letter to be capitalized. Again it

staysinthismodeuntilyoupresstheAlphakeyagain.

Another example of how this works, if you want to

type a ‘c’ press the F key and the 2 key three

times. If you need a letter that is on the same key as

the last letter entered, wait two seconds after you

pressed the last key then you can enter the correct se-

ries of keystrokes to create the next letter.

Linear Imager/Keypad Shift and Notification

LED

The Linear Ima ger/Keypad Shift and Notification

LED C turns red, green, or yellow.

S Momentary Green: Indicates a ‘good scan’.

S Blinking Green: Indicates that the imager is initial-

izing.

S Steady Red: Indicates the keypad is shifted to the

Alpha (Blue) plane and the Model 730 is On.

Model 730 Color Mobile Compute r

S Yellow: When keypad is in alpha mode, the LED

momentarily changes from red to yellow indicating

a ‘good scan’.

This LED is also the Windows Mobile 2003 Noti-

fication signal. It blinks yellow at regular intervals

indicating a Calendar or Task activity occurred.

Action and Up/Down Navigational Buttons

S Action button: Press to open an item (similar to

pressing ENTER on the keypad).

S Up/Down controls: Press to scroll through a list

(similar to pressing the arrow keys on a keyboard).

Battery Status LED

Power to run your Model 730 is supplied by a power-

ful Li-Ion battery pack designed to give you approxi-

mately 6-10 hours of operation (depending on ap-

plication). In addition, your Model 730 contains

backup capabilities to prevent loss of data when the

main battery is discharged or when switching out ba t-

tery packs.

For maximum effectiveness it is important to leave the

main ba ttery installed in your Model 730 even if it is

discharged. If the main battery is removed, it should

be replaced within 10 minutes to avoid the possibil-

ity of data loss.

The Battery status LED B turns red, green, or

yellow.

S Steady Green: Battery is more than 95% charged

and unit is on a charger.

S Blinking Red: Battery is low. The speed of the

blinkingincreasesasthebattery’spowergetsin-

creasingly lower.

S Red: Main battery is low, or if charging, will re-

main red until your Model 730 reaches 95% charge

status.

10 Model 730 Color Mobile Compu ter

S Yellow: Your Model 730 is on a charging source

and there is no battery pack installed. Can also

mean that your Model 730 is out of charging range

32° to 122°F(0° to 50°C). Once your Model 730

gets back in range, charging resumes and the LED

changes to red or green.

S Alternating between Red and Yellow: The battery

pack needs to be replaced.
