Chapter 2: Set Up A New Marathon This page lists a quick outline of the steps you might take when setting up a new Marathon. More instruction for each step is listed later in this guide. Please refer to the Marathon Reference Guide for additional information and instruction. Contact your representative if you need additional help. Note: Installing or removing accessories should be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
Battery Charge or Recharge the Main Battery Note: A new Marathon must be connected to an external power source to charge the main battery before first use. The Marathon contains an internal Lithium Ion battery that, once fully charged, powers the Marathon for a minimum of 3 hours and 30 minutes (when the unit is not mounted in a powered dock or connected to an AC/DC adapter or extended battery). Note: An external power source is required before the main battery in the Marathon will recharge.
Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen. Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using the Biometric Mouse The biometric mouse is located to the right of the keypad. Slide a finger over the biometric mouse to move the cursor in the direction the finger moves. Tapping the biometric mouse once generates a left-click, tapping twice rapidly generates a double-click. Tapping the biometric mouse and holding generates a right-click. Note: If experiencing difficulties with the biometric mouse navigation, try varying the finger pressure on the biometric mouse.
LED Indicators Power Button The power button is backlit as follows: l Off when not activated, Marathon is Off l Solid blue when activated, Marathon is On l Flashes blue when Marathon is in standby Status LEDs Status LED indicators are located next to the upper left hand corner of the display. Symbol Function Indicates the storage drive status: l LED flashes green when drive is accessed Indicates the wireless status: l LED is solid blue when enabled, but not connected.
Adjust Display Brightness The display can be lightened or darkened by using the Fn key and the keypad: 1. Hold the Fn key down for a few seconds until the Fn key remains illuminated (sticky). 2. Press the 9 (brightness up) key to brighten the display. 3. Press the 3 (brightness down) key to darken the display. The display brightness and darkness have nine levels. The display levels are managed by the Windows operating system.
Installing the Extended Battery Pack Note: Installing or removing accessories should be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the Marathon, and components from electrostatic discharge. The instructions that follow are the same for the 42Whr extended battery and the 62Whr extended battery. 1. Turn the Marathon off. Remove any cables, straps or accessories. 2. Place the Marathon face down on a stable surface. 3.
5. Connect the extended battery to the Marathon using the captive screws in the extended battery. 6. Re-attach accessories, if any. 7. Turn the Marathon on. One extended battery can be recharged in a powered desktop dock (See Marathon Dock Reference Guide) and four extended batteries can be recharged in the Marathon Battery Charger (See Marathon Battery Charger User Guide). An attached extended battery will begin to recharge when the Marathon is placed in a powered desktop dock or powered vehicle dock.
Attaching the Hand Strap The hand strap is designed to be used with the Marathon with or without an extended battery attached. The hand strap is designed so the Marathon can be mounted in the desktop dock or the vehicle dock without removing the hand strap. 1. Long Hand Strap, approximately 7.4"/18.8 cm without loop 2. Short Hand Strap, approximately 4.0"/10.2 cm without loop 3. Strap Buckle 4. Screws, strap attaching 1. Place the Marathon with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface. 2.
3. Remove any of the plugs by unscrewing them in a counter-clockwise direction. Remove only the plugs necessary to mount the hand strap. See the illustration below for possible hand strap orientations: Horizontal Vertical Diagonal 4. Insert the Strap Attaching Screws into the appropriate holes. These screws have an eye to attach the strap. 5. Thread the nylon loop of the Strap Buckle through one of the Strap Attaching Screws from the outside edge of the Marathon.
Attaching the Shoulder Strap The shoulder strap is designed to be used with the Marathon with or without an extended battery attached. The shoulder strap is designed so the Marathon can be mounted in the desktop dock or the vehicle dock without removing the shoulder strap. 1. Place the Marathon with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface. 2. There are six rubber plugs as illustrated below (stars). 3. Remove the upper two of these plugs by unscrewing them in a counter-clockwise direction.
4. Insert the Strap Attaching Screws into the upper two holes. These screws have an eye to attach the strap. 5. Thread the longer nylon loop of one of the Shoulder Strap Adapters through one of the Strap Attaching Screws. Then thread the other end of the Shoulder Strap Adapter through the longer loop and pull tight. Repeat for the other Shoulder Strap Adapter using the other Strap Attaching Screw. 6. Hook the swivel hooks on each end of the Shoulder Strap to the short loops on the adapters.
