manually or automatically. For example, when
the ES400 detects a quiet environment, a profile
can automatically place the ringer in vibrate
mode. Conversely, when the device detects
a noisy environment, ringer volume can be
automatically increased to prevent workers
from missing an urgent call.
A better phone experience
Unlike most other devices, the ES400 provides
everything users need to manage calls on a single
screen including a large ‘touch friendly’ dial pad;
access to speaker, mute and hold; and one touch
access to country calling codes. This screen is
displayed for the duration of any call, allowing users
to easily enter additional numeric information as
needed — for example, conference call passwords.
And a toggle button provides one-touch access to
a multi-caller conference management screen that
allows users to easily add, drop or speak privately to
one or more callers.
Better application management
Applications are easily accessible, right from the
Home Screen:
• Running applications: One tap in the top bar
displays a list of all open applications, allowing
users to switch applications with a single tap.
• Top four most used applications: A user-
customizable program dock provides one-touch
access to the top four applications — and
users can change the applications or functions
highlighted on the dock at any time.
• ‘My Apps’ Menu: A quick tap on the ‘My Apps’
button presents a user-customizable menu
of applications, ensuring instant access to an
unlimited number of applications.
Better media management
Two unique features allow enterprises to maximize
the value of multimedia information:
• Rich business intelligence can be appended to
photos, including: voice and text comments;
numbered annotation markers that can be placed
on photos to enable detailed references; a file
name; and a geostamp that indicates time, date
and location where the photograph was taken.

Figure 6: Fast and easy application access
The ‘My Apps’ key
allows users to
create a complete
menu that lists all
their applications.
A single tap in the top bar of the home screen
exposes the Device Management Task Bar
and the first tab in that Task Bar — ‘Running
Programs’. As a result, users can view all
open applications with one tap — and switch
applications with another quick tap.
The customizable
Program Dock
provides access
to the top four
applications —
and either an IT
department or
users can change
the items in the
dock at any time.
