2 Hardware Components Navigating Around Your Mesa Home Screen and Windows Start Menu Display and Touchscreen Keypad Features Power Management LED Activity Indicators SD Cards Connector Module Audio Features
Mesa Hardware Components This chapter discusses the Mesa Rugged Notepad hardware features and usage. Navigating Around Your Mesa Using Gestures and Making Selections The Windows® Embedded Handheld operating system enhances the Mesa’s ability to recognize touch gestures, making it easy to use a finger to navigate. The Mesa buttons can also be used. Navigation options vary depending on the screen you are on. Here is a partial list of options: Vertical and Horizontal Movement 1.
Home Screen and Windows Start Menu There are two screens you need to be aware of as you read this manual and use the Mesa: the Home screen and Windows Start menu. The Home screen is your main control center for the Mesa. The content varies based on which model you have and can be customized. It is automatically shown when the Mesa is turned on. You can get to it from any other screen by pressing and releasing the Home screen button.
Display and Touchscreen The Mesa has a bright color display and touchscreen with a diagonal viewing area of 5.7 inches (145 mm). It is easy to view outdoors and sealed against water and dust. Adjusting Display Settings To adjust the default display settings including the text size, alignment and orientation, go to the Screen control panel, Start > Settings> System > Screen. There are also shortcuts to some of the settings described in the text that follows.
Disabling and Enabling the Touchscreen You can disable the touchscreen. This is useful when you are running an application and you want to see the screen, but you want to avoid accidental touchscreen activation. The touchscreen can also be disabled for cleaning purposes. Methods to disable and enable the touchscreen: Press and hold the screen orientation button Press and hold the power button Button menu. Select Disable TS. .
The display has a minimum brightness setting that it dims to when the Mesa is not in use. Power is conserved, yet the display is still partially visible. Adjust the dim time interval and setting as needed. To use the Mesa, tap on the display to bring the display backlight back up to the brightness setting. Note: The Mesa can be set up in subdued lighting (tactical) mode. Refer to Chapter 3 for instructions.
Buttons and their functions: Button Press and Release Press and Hold Camera (Geo models) or Task Manager Pictures and Videos (Std) Notes Record Audio Note (press and hold to record, press to stop) Screen Brightness Down Screen Brightness Up Home Screen Start/Windows Screen Left Soft Key No Function Rotate Screen Action Touchscreen Disable/ Enable Done/OK Left Up Down Right Enter Done/OK Right Soft Key No Funct
Follow these steps to reassign button functions: 1. From the Home screen, tap Getting Started . If Getting Started is not on your Home screen, go to Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons.

Power Management The Mesa uses 1 or 2 Li-Ion rechargeable battery packs. ! CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the Mesa from an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may void your product warranty. Battery Life Battery life on a full charge is generally up to eight hours per pack (this can vary significantly depending on the application, backlight usage, and radio usage). Battery packs last approximately 300-500 charging cycles. This is impacted by the use conditions, environment, etc.
following is shown: Go to the Advanced set up screen to select how long the Mesa should stay on when it is not in use. As mentioned under “Adjusting the Backlight,” dimming the display backlight saves battery power. Radios can also use a lot of power.

8 Storage, Maintenance and Recycling Storing the Mesa and Battery Packs Protecting the Touchscreen Cleaning the Mesa Recycling the Mesa and Batteries
Storage, Maintenance and Recycling Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain and recycle the Mesa. Storing the Mesa and Battery Pack(s) When the Mesa is not being charged and is suspended, it draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to maintain the memory (RAM) of the Mesa in the same state it was when it was suspended. We recommend charging the Mesa each night or weekend when it is in suspend mode.
Protecting the Touchscreen Protect the touchscreen from impact, pressure, or abrasive substances that could damage it. To further protect the touchscreen, apply one of the screen protectors that came with the Mesa. To apply a screen protector, follow the directions that come with it in the package. ! CAUTION: Be sure to replace the screen protector as often as the screen protector instructions recommend. Cleaning the Mesa Touchscreen 1.
