vice (GPRS) radios, all with internal antennas for increased ruggedization. The 3.5” color touch screen with illumination enables easy access to various applications and signature capture in all light conditions. The IrDA port serves for data exchange between the PowerPad and data network using the Universal Office Dock (UOD) unit. The PocketPC 2003®-based operating system supports multimedia and audio applications, using a built-in microphone, speaker and buzzer.

Charging the Battery The battery is shipped from the factory uncharged and not installed. Charge the battery before using the PowerPad for the first time. Battery Installation and Removal Important Note: The PowerPad enables you to replace batteries without losing information stored in its memory. To avoid losing information stored in the memory, a charged battery must be installed within 8 hours after removing the empty battery. Do not remove battery while the LED indicator of the PowerPad shows red.
The Universal Office Dock (UOD) Unit The UOD unit is used for charging the PowerPad battery and communicating with the PowerPad through an IrDA port. Each UOD unit has nine slots. Each slot may accommodate either a PowerPad with a battery attached, or a battery (stand-alone). Each of the nine slots has a status LED with an associated number. The LEDs are laid out in the same order as the slots. When a slot is empty, its corresponding LED is Off.
Table 1: Status of a UOD Slot LED During Battery Charge Slot LED Status Indication No Light No device inserted. Blinking Amber Battery temperature out of tolerance and charging has been temporarily stopped. Solid Amber PowerPad Battery is being charged. Solid Green PowerPad Battery is at least 90% charged after 2.5 hours and fully charged after 3. Solid Red PowerPad Battery is not fully charged after 3 hours of charging, and is considered failed.
To test the power capacity of the battery; press the TEST pad on back side of the battery and view the power level indicator. Routine Battery Charge Battery TEST Pad 100 A battery is charged to 90% of its full capacity after approximately Power Level two and a half hours, and is fully Indicator charged after three hours, excluding out-of-range periods. During the charge, the LED indicator of the PowerPad shows Figure 5. Battery Power Test green and blinks quickly.
Batteries which have already been charged and then stored for more than 2 months should be recharged before use. Extending Battery Life A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the PowerPad. To ensure maximum service life of your PowerPad, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement. Your UOD will charge your battery effectively when it is at room temperature [approx. 68°F (20° C)]. Battery charging temperature range is 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C).
Using the PowerPad Turning On the PowerPad Press the Power button to turn On the PowerPad (see Figure 7) when turned On, the last displayed screen will be shown again. Note: The PowerPad powers On immediately when the battery is installed for the first time or after Cold Reset (see page 16) - the Motorola logo will show for about 30 seconds and you will be required to follow on-screen alignment (calibration) instructions.
LED slowly blinks green - PowerPad in Suspend mode. LED quickly blinks green - PowerPad is charged in UOD unit. Using the Stylus Pen The Stylus pen selects items and enters information. Use the pen as you use your PC mouse. • • • 12 To open and select screen items, tap on the item with the pen. To drag text or image items, hold the pen on the item and drag across the screen. To see a list of actions available for a specific item, tapand-hold the pen on an item.
Using the Keyboard Key Assignment Figure 7 describes the PowerPad keyboard. Note: Key assignment may vary by application. Therefore, your keyboard may not function as described.
Action Keys Table 2 describes the action keys combinations.
Scanning with the PowerPad The PowerPad has an integrated Laser scanner which gathers data by scanning barcodes. The PowerPad is equipped with a SCAN trigger button, designed for both left-handed and righthanded users (see Figure 8). The button is located at the center of the terminal navigation key panel. To scan 1D (one dimensional) barcodes; aim the scanner at the barcode and press the SCAN trigger button (see Figure 8).
Resetting the PowerPad You may need to reset your PowerPad; for example, you may reset due to communication cutoff, or if the operating system stops responding. If your PowerPad stops responding, do the following actions: Warm Reset Important Note: When the PowerPad is warm reset, all recorded information remains stored in memory. Figure 9. Warm Reset Simultaneously, press keys H + CLR + GO (see Figure 9); the PowerPad will function again.
Cold Reset Cold reset restarts the PowerPad by erasing all stored records and entries. Do Not perform Cold reset unless Warm reset fails to solve your problem. Cold reset is performed by removing the battery and inserting the Stylus tip into the hole located on the back side of the PowerPad (see Figure 10). For Cold Reset: insert the Stylus tip into the hole Reset hole Figure 10.
• If the battery contacts, screen or surface of the PowerPad become dirty, use a soft lint free cloth moistened with diluted Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) solution to remove dirt. The Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) can be diluted with water up to 20%. Accessories The following Motorola approved accessories are for use with your terminal.
Troubleshooting Table 4: Troubleshooting the PowerPad Problem PowerPad does not turn On Battery does not charge in UOD PowerPad does not detect scan input Cause Solution Battery is not installed properly or not charged Ensure proper battery installation in PowerPad. Charge or replace the battery PowerPad in Suspend mode Press the Power Button PowerPad is not locked in UOD Reinstall PowerPad in UOD. Lock the PowerPad properly in UOD.
Table 4: Troubleshooting the PowerPad Problem PowerPad does not respond Cause Solution Problem in PowerPad operating system or communication network Execute Warm reset by simultaneously pressing soft keys H+CLR+GO for at least one second; the PowerPad should function again If PowerPad still does not respond, perform Cold rest (see “Resetting the PowerPad” on page 16).
