Introduction Motorola congratulates you on your purchase of the X-Pad Handheld Data Terminal! Its unique functionality and features make this state-of-the-art rugged Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) superior for use in a wide range of applications. This manual covers the basic setup operations and use of the X-Pad terminal. Since your X-Pad applications are designed by your company or organization, this manual does not cover any of the software applications resident in your X-Pad.
What is the X-Pad Terminal The X-Pad handheld data terminal is a rugged device, designed for field applications where fast data acquisition is required. The X-Pad carries the functionality of a state-of-the-art Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable access to mobile applications, such as mobile messaging, queries and Computer Aided Dispatch.
Unpacking The X-Pad package includes the following items: • • • • • One X-Pad unit One 7.2V 1800 mAh Li-ion battery pack One Stylus pen This Owner’s Manual EME Safety and General Information leaflet, Motorola P.N. 6802974C16 Carefully unpack each item from the shipping carton.

Charging the Battery The battery is shipped from the factory uncharged and not installed. Charge the battery before using the X-Pad for the first time. Battery Installation and Removal Important Note: The X-Pad enables you to replace batteries without losing information stored in its memory. To avoid losing information stored in the memory, a charged battery must be installed within 4 hours after removing the empty battery. Do not remove battery while the LED indicator of the X-Pad shows red.
The Universal Office Dock (UOD) Unit The UOD unit is used for charging the X-Pad battery and communicating with the X-Pad through an IrDA port. Each UOD unit has nine slots. Each slot may accommodate either a X-Pad with a battery attached, or a battery (stand-alone). Each of the nine slots has a status LED with an associated number. The LEDs are laid out in the same order as the slots. When a slot is empty, its corresponding LED is Off.
Table 1: Status of a UOD Slot LED During Battery Charge Slot LED Status Indication No Light No device inserted. Blinking Amber Battery temperature out of tolerance and charging has been temporarily stopped. Solid Amber X-Pad Battery is being charged. Solid Green X-Pad Battery is at least 90% charged after 2.5 hours and fully charged after 3. Solid Red X-Pad Battery is not fully charged after 3 hours of charging, and is considered failed.
To test the power capacity of the battery; press the TEST pad on back side of the battery and view the power level indicator. Routine Battery Charge A battery is charged to 90% of its full capacity after approximately two and a half hours, and is fully charged after three hours, excluding out-ofrange periods. Battery TEST Pad 100 Power Level Indicator Note: The power level indicator shows only an approximate level of the remaining battery life. Figure 5.
Extending Battery Life A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the X-Pad. To ensure maximum service life of your X-Pad, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement. Your UOD will charge your battery effectively when it is at room temperature [approx. 68°F (20° C)]. Battery charging temperature range is 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C).
Using the X-Pad Turning On the X-Pad Press the Power button to turn On the X-Pad (see Figure 7) - when turned On, the last displayed screen will be shown again. Note: The X-Pad powers On immediately when the battery is installed for the first time or after Cold Reset (see page 16) - the Motorola logo will show for about 30 seconds and you will be required to follow on-screen alignment (calibration) instructions.
Using the Stylus Pen The Stylus pen selects items and enters information. Use the pen as you use your PC mouse. • • • To open and select screen items, tap on the item with the pen. To drag text or image items, hold the pen on the item and drag across the screen. To see a list of actions available for a specific item, tap-and-hold the pen on an item. When the pop-up menu appears, tap the action you want to perform. Figure 6.
Using the Keyboard Key Assignment Figure 7 describes the X-Pad keyboard. Note: Key assignment may vary by application. Therefore, your keyboard may not function as described.
Action Keys Table 2 describes the action keys combinations.
The X-Pad is equipped with a SCAN trigger button, designed for both lefthanded and right-handed users (see Figure 8). The button is located at the center of the terminal navigation key panel. Images taken by the X-Pad are stored in the terminal memory. Images can be downloaded via IrDA communication to the cradle or transmitted via one of the wireless radio options. Capturing Images To capture an Image: 1. Activate your scanning application. 2.
Resetting the X-Pad In normal use, you should never need to reset the X-Pad. You may need to reset your X-Pad; for example, you may reset due to communication cut-off, or if the operating system stops responding. If your X-Pad stops responding, do the following actions: Figure 9. Warm Reset Warm Reset Important Note: When the X-Pad is warm reset, all recorded information remains stored in memory. Simultaneously, press keys H + CLR + GO (see Figure 9); the X-Pad will function again.
Maintaining the X-Pad In order to maintain your X-Pad in good working order: • • • • • • • Do not scratch the screen. Use only Motorola supplied stylus pen with the touch screen. Never use a pen or pencil or any sharp object on the screen. Although your X-Pad is water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or moisture for long periods of time. Protect your X-Pad from temperature extremes. Do not leave the XPad on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep the X-Pad away from hot places.
