“Smart Batteries”
Your X7 batteries have built-in “smart” technology to monitor their charging functions and
internal conditions. These batteries are self-calibrating and self-regulating. Should a problem
occur, even a short circuit, the X7 battery will disconnect itself from the computer to prevent any
damage. Since the batteries are literally the handles for the X7, you can keep a defective
battery in place until you obtain a replacement.
Webcam
Your X7 has a built-in 2 megapixel camera located on the back side of the unit (see Figure 8).
The camera is equipped with an autofocus lens and can be used to capture still images or
movies, or to scan barcodes. The camera saves still images in JPEG format at 1280 x 1024,
800 x 600 and 640 x 480 pixel resolutions. Movies are saved in Windows Media Video (.wmv)
format.
Refer to
Using the Webcam for instructions on capturing still images and video and scanning
bar codes.
