Important: Phone calls are routed only through the earpiece. Earpiece/Speaker volume can be adjusted by one of the following methods: 1. Using the Earpiece/Speaker Volume keys (see Figure 1): •Press the up and down keys to increase or decrease volume during a call or when playing sound. 2.
Resetting the HC700-G You may need to reset the HC700-G; for example, you may need to reset due to communication cut-off, or if the operating system or the application stops responding. If the HC700-G stops responding, perform the steps described on the following page. Step 1: Warm Reset Important Note: When the HC700-G performs Warm Reset, all recorded information remains stored in memory. Hold down the and and keys Figure 10.
Hold down the Power Button and and keys for at least 5 seconds (see Figure 11); the HC700-G will restart its operating system. Cold Reset can also be performed in the following way: go to: Reset”.
miniSD Memory Card Installing a miniSD Card Important: Turn off the HC700-G before removing or installing the miniSD (Secure Digital) card. When using Windows Mobile 2003, memory size is limited to1 GB. 1. Use Torx T-8 tool to remove the screw that secures the access door of the miniSD card compartment (see Figure 12). 2. Insert the miniSD card as shown in the figure. Verify that the card is fully inserted before closing the access door. 3. Close the miniSD card cover and secure the screw. 4.
Scanning Barcodes The HC700-G houses a digital camera (imager) that scans the most commonly used 1D and 2D barcodes (depend on your imager options). The HC700-G and the HCe700-G are manufactured with the following imager engine options: • • 5100 series with Light Emitting Diodes (LED) aiming technology 5300 series with Laser aiming technology Scanning with LED aimer imager To scan barcode/capture image, perform the following: 1.
About 7 inches from barcode ± 40 degrees Aim the green light bar at the barcode Red Ambient Light Scan/Picture Key Scan/Picture Keys Figure 13. Capturing Barcodes with LED Aimer Imager The HC700-G supports 360° omni-directional capture for easy use in daily work. The green aiming bar can be positioned at any angle across the barcode symbol(see Figure 14). 1D Barcode Symbol 2D Barcode Symbol Figure 14.
Note: When adjusting your position, you may rotate the wrist left or wright and pitch by dropping or lifting the wrist. Move back or forth from the target to capture the entire object. A successful scan is followed by a beeping sound Aim the Laser pattern at the barcode Scan/Picture Key Scan/Picture Keys Figure 15. Capturing Barcodes with the HC700-G Imager The HC700-G supports 360° omni-directional capture for easy use in daily work.
Charging the Battery The battery is charged when the HC700-G is docked in the cradle. When using a Personal Desktop Cradle, a spare battery can be charged in the battery charging bay. A fully charged battery provides 10 hours of typical usage or 24 hours in Standby mode. Spare battery Spare battery charging bay Figure 17. HC700-G Personal Desktop Cradle ! • Caution • When not in use, always place the HC700-G in a powered cradle.
3. Insert the battery, bottom end first, into the battery compartment. 4. Carefully, press the battery top downward until it clicks and locks in place. 5. Place the HC700-G inside the cradle - the Status LED inside the Power button shows steady red. Charge the battery until the status LED shows steady green. The HC700-G cradle charges the battery most effectively when it is at room temperature [approx. 68°F (20°C)]. The ambient temperature range during battery charging should be 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C).
Battery Replacement When the battery’s capacity is critically low, the HC700-G automatically enters "Critical Low Battery" state and shuts down all functions (the screen turns off) to preserve the data in its memory. The HC700-G allows you to replace batteries without losing information stored in its memory. To avoid losing data stored in the memory, a charged battery must be installed within 30 minutes. To replace a battery perform the following steps: 1.
Battery Safety The battery or HC700-G may carry warning symbols, defined as follows: Important safety information will follow. Your battery or HC700-G should not be disposed of in a fire.
Extending Battery Life Battery performance depends on many factors, including the temperature at which you operate your handheld computer; the features and/or settings you select and use; peripherals attached to the computer and other application usage patterns. To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal ! objects to come in contact with or short-circuit the Caution battery contacts. Batteries are expendable parts and gradually wear down and require longer charging times. This is normal.
