Specifications

• Color schemes: The colors utilized in the keypad
factor in the diversity of the workforce, including
workers who are colorblind.
• Key placement: Function and special keys were
placed to minimize travel and provide an intuitive
keying experience. In addition, keys that are
uncommon in a primary telephony keypad but
commonly used for data entry, such as a ‘Tab’
key, were added.
• Keypad activation force: The balanced activation
force is light enough to ensure easy data entry,
yet prevents accidental activation of a key.
• Navigation mechanism: The optical navigation pad
was selected for its size and flexibility. It takes
up very little real estate and can be utilized in
either ‘mouse’ mode to easily navigate through a
website, or placed in ‘4-way’ mode to allow users
to easily toggle through fields on a form — up,
down, right or left.
The display
The ES400 offers an enhanced display experience
for a device in this class, optimized for enterprise
application use:
• Only device in this category with a PenTile® display:
Small screens are often hard to read. But the
leading edge PenTile® display technology typically
delivers approximately twice the brightness at
just half the power of standard displays. The
addition of a white pixel produces brighter whites
and darker blacks, while specialized algorithms
sharpen edges and fonts, making text, icons and
menus are crisper and easy to read in virtually
any lighting condition. The result is excellent
readability indoors and outdoors — without
compromising battery power.
• Use of the entire screen — edge to edge:
The ES400 offers a 3-inch color touchscreen
display — one of the largest screens in this
device category. And unlike other devices, the
entire screen from edge to edge is utilized for
application display.
• Integrated light sensor: The display senses the
available light and automatically and smoothly
adjusts backlighting, delivering a consistent viewing
experience while conserving battery power.
3 TECHNICAL BRIEF: The competitive advantages of the Motorola ES400
Real-time interaction with
enterprise applications
At the heart of the ES400 is Microsoft’s Windows
Mobile 6.5.3 operating system (OS). This industry
standard OS facilitates easy integration with your
back-end business applications as well as an
extensive library of ‘off-the-shelf’ applications,
allowing enterprises to extend real-time application
access to mobile workers.
In addition, the ES400 has what it takes to run
simultaneous applications, including:
• The Samsung ARM 11, 600 MHz processor:
This processor offers rich memory support as
well as an integrated 3D hardware accelerator
capable of handling most graphics intensive
applications — including real-time video and
navigation applications.
• The largest total memory footprint in this
device class: The ES400 offers 256MB RAM/
1GB Flash plus up to 32GB of extra storage via
the user accessible microSD slot.
Integrated camera with enterprise
data capture advantages
The integrated 3.2 MP autofocus color digital
camera enables the easy capture of a wide range
of information, including 1D and 2D bar codes,
signatures, photos, high quality videos and documents.
In addition, the ES400 is the only one to offer:
• Illumination designed for bar code capture:
A user controllable light source is designed
specifically to ensure proper lighting of bar codes
for dependable, accurate, bar code capture.
• Advanced decode software: Motorola’s
advanced decoding algorithms provide best-in-
class scanning, including the ability to capture
dirty or damaged 1D or 2D bar codes.
• Emulated LED aimer: Ensures accurate aiming
for easy bar code capture
• Native document capture: The ability to capture
documents can streamline many business
processes and enable electronic recordkeeping.
