Introduction This manual covers the basic setup operations and use of the Intelligent Mail Device (IMD) handheld computer. The IMD may use a variety of Motorola docking cradles for network communication and power charging. Note that this manual briefly describes the basic features of each cradle. For detailed installation and operation of each cradle, refer to the specific user manual of each cradle. What is the IMD Handheld Computer The IMD is a rugged handheld computer.
The IMD is powered by a 900 mAh 7.2V Lithium-Ion battery pack (1800 mAh battery is also available). The battery is fully recharged within four hours, using the IMD cradles or battery charger. When battery is replaced, a built-in power source, independent of the battery pack, maintains data in the IMD memory for at least 5 minutes. Unpacking The IMD package includes the following items: • One IMD • One 900 mAh 7.2V (or 1800 mAh 7.
IMD Features Front Panel and Top Side Features Imager Window Application LED (refer to the software application guide) Main Menu Power Button/Status LED (Power, Battery and Charging Status) (see page 10) & (see page 11) Touch Screen Right Hand Scan Button Left Hand Scan Button Main Scan Button Speaker Keypad (see page 12) Figure 1.
Rear and Bottom Side Features Imager Window Stylus Compartment Hand-strap Anchor Battery Release Button (see page 7) Right Hand Scan Button Right Hand Scan Button Battery Pack Access Door to the Mini SD Memory (see page 19) Hand-strap Anchor Access Door to the Mini SD Memory (see page 19) Figure 2.
Charging the Battery The IMD battery is charged inside the IMD. The battery is shipped from the factory uncharged and not installed. Install and charge the battery before using the IMD for the first time. Battery Installation and Removal Important Note: The IMD allows 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 five minutes after removing the empty battery.
First Time Battery Charge Charge the battery before using the IMD for the first time until the Power Button/Status LED of the IMD shows steady green. While charging, the Power Button/Status LED shows green and blinks quickly. The IMD Cradle charges the battery most 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).
Extending Battery Life A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the IMD. To ensure maximum service life of the IMD, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement. The IMD Cradle will charge the battery most 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 IMD Turning On the IMD Press the Power Button/Status LED (see Figure 1) to turn on the IMD. Turning Off the IMD When the IMD is On, hold the Power Button/Status LED pressed for at least four seconds - the IMD will remember the last used screen and will go into deep sleep mode - no information will be lost. Once turned on again, the IMD will show the last screen that was in use.
Visual indications of Power Button/Status LED The Power Button/Status LED has a 3 color LED (red/yellow/green) to indicate the power, battery and charging status (see Figure 1). The LED indications differ when the IMD is used out of the cradle and inside the cradle. LED indications when IMD is out of the cradle LED slowly blinks green - IMD in Suspend mode. LED shows steady red for 5 seconds - IMD is booting-up following battery replacement.
Using the Keypad The IMD keypad enables the user to input both alphabetic and numeric data to the software application. However, since the keypad can only contain a limited number of keys, some special keys are assigned to perform special tasks that are usually found on full-size computer keyboards. These are produced using a combination of the existing keys on the IMD keypad. Two sets of keys exist on the IMD: 1. Keys active when in Alphabetic mode, which are those seen on the overlay of the IMD keypad. 2.
: The Imager trigger button is used for scanning images (refer to “Capturing Images” on page 16). : The key is used to continue to the next screen (i.e. continue processing). Navigation Keys: The and keys are used to scroll up and down on menu, form and data list screens. The and are used for horizontal navigation between action buttons and areas such as: date controls, time controls, data table controls, and for closing list boxes.
? Help: This key is pressed to popup help window when Help application is available. To know more about the key, consult the software application guide of the IMD. Configuration: The configuration key is pressed to popup maintenance application window, when maintenance application is available. To know more about the key, consult the software application guide of the IMD.
Turning on & off the Keypad Back-light Hold press for 4 seconds - the screen Back-light will turn on. To turn off - hold pressed for another 2 seconds. When not in use, Back-light turns off automatically after 10 seconds.
Capturing Images The IMD houses a digital camera (Imager) that captures pictures and decodes the most commonly used 1D and 2D bar codes. The IMD supports 360° omni-directional operation for easy use in daily work. The Imager captures digital images, such as signatures, text or pictures of any object or form. The images are stored in the IMD memory. To capture an Image: CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT 1. Aim and hold the IMD IEC 60825-1 ED 1.
To capture a barcode, aim the green aimer bar in any angle across the barcode, as shown in Figure 6 1D Barcode Symbol 2D Barcode Symbol Figure 6. IMD Imager - Barcode Capture Position Note: When adjusting your position, you may move back and forth from the target to capture the entire object - a successful scan may be followed by sound indication.
Resetting the IMD You may need to reset the IMD; for example, you may reset due to communication cut-off, or if the operating system or the application stops responding. If the IMD stops responding, perform the following steps: Step 1: Warm Reset Important Note: When the IMD performs Warm Reset, all recorded information remains stored in memory.
Step 2: Cold Reset Cold Reset restarts the IMD by erasing all stored records and entries. Do Not perform Cold Reset unless Warm Reset fails to solve the problem. Press the Power Button/Status LED + S + X keys simultaneously for at least 5 seconds (see Figure 11); the IMD will restart its operating system. Figure 8. Cold Reset - Key Combination Mini SD Memory Card Installing a Mini SD Card 1. Turn off the IMD. 2. Remove the screw to open the cover of the Mini SD (Secure Digital) card slot (see Figure 2).
Maintaining the IMD In order to maintain the IMD in good working order: • • • • • Do not scratch the screen. Use only Motorola supplied stylus pen. Never use a pen or pencil or any sharp object on the screen. Protect the IMD from temperature extremes. Do not leave the IMD on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep the IMD away from hot places. Do not store or use the IMD in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.
