Getting Started with the MC70 PDA
What is the MC70 PDA?
The MC70 personal digital assistant is a wireless hand-held device that contains
the Incident Command System software. The PDA enables networking, and
uses a stylus and keypad to enter data. You can also use your finger to tap the
screen to select and enter data.
With the MC70, you can:
• Start and manage incidents
• Accept and assign assets as they arrive on the scene
• Re-assign assets
• View asset data
• Add assets manually
• Respond to alerts
Who Uses the MC70 PDA?
The Incident Commander will use the MC70. Only the person logged into the
MC70 as the IC can perform the incident management tasks described above.
Others who are on the scene may use additional MC70 PDAs that allow them to
view everything taking place on the IC’s MC70. Viewers can also close pop-up
windows that appear on the screen. Closing a pop-up window does not affect
the IC’s PDA.
