1. MAIN FEATURES
BE-300 is a smaller and lighter CASSIOPEIA PDA compared with the prior ones.
The main features on hardware are as follows;
1. Higher speed CPU: VR4131 166MHz (280MIPS) *MIPS: Million Instructions Per Second
2. 16MB FLASH ROM/ SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM):
NAND Type Flash ROM/ SDRAM are mounted on the main PC Board instead of ROM PC Board.
Therefore, there are no ROM PC Board and Lithium battery for backup in BE-300.
Note that once operating the user’s unit, the saved data by this operation are not deleted even if
removing the battery pack and AC adapter. After reset operation and initialization, these saved data
can not be deleted.
If you want to reserve user’s data for repair, firstly, perform the backup operation without operating
user’s unit. Refer to 7-4. Backup and Restore in this manual concerning the backup.
3. New options (PC Card Unit:JK-865PU/ External Power Pack: JK-215LT etc.)
Battery Life is shorter, approximately half time, compared with the prior CASSIOPEIA PDAs as
described below.
6 hours (Continuous input and data display at a ratio of 1:10)
In case of E-125, Battery Life is 8 hours.
It is recommended to use External Power Pack JK-215LT to make Battery Life longer.
Using this power pack, 15 hours with continuous operation may be realized.
Using PC Card Unit, various kinds of PCMCIA Type II Cards can be used.
4. A Flip Cover which is easier to replace is assembled to protect the touch screen panel.
There are no flip hard covers in the prior CASSIOPEIA PDAs.
5. STN Color LCD (32,768 colors) instead of TFT Color LCD
Eight kinds of color display variations (Standard, Herb, Horizon and so on)
6. No record/ play operation using microphone (No microphone)
There is no microphone in BE-300.
The main features on software are as follows;
1. Original API (Application Program Interface):
BE-300 supports the standard Win32API for Palm size PC API.
However, BE-300 doesn’t support Pocket PC API.
2. New communication software with PC: PC Connect
Refer to 7-2. PC Connect software in this manual for detail.
3. OS, the standard applications, additional application and user data (7MB) are stored in NAND type
Flash ROM (16MB).
The standard applications for PIM etc. can be easily deleted.
However, these applications can be easily installed again using PC Connect and these software in the
bundled CD-ROM.
4. The standard applications size for PIM etc. are compressed compared with the prior
CASSIOPEIA PDAs.
Note:
BE-300 can not drive Micro Drive because Micro Drive consumes too much power, and voltage
detectors and protection functions in circuitry of BE-300 will work by too much power. At last, BE-
300 will be turned off.
