Running on Android, it integrates several Ascom solutions to complement the standard Android offering, providing a robust and versatile communication tool for mobile personnel.
The Ascom Myco 4 serves as a comprehensive communication and information hub. Its primary function is to enable efficient communication through calling and messaging, allowing users to dial phone numbers, select contacts from favorites or recent calls, and send messages. The device supports various notification types, appearing as icons in the Status bar or as detailed texts in the Notification drawer, keeping users informed of missed calls, conversations, and system or app messages.
The handset features a main display that serves as the primary interface, presenting the Home screen with shortcuts to different apps and functions, and the All apps screen, which lists all installed applications. Navigation between these views is intuitive, allowing users to swipe up from the bottom for the All apps screen, swipe down or tap Back/Home to return to the Home screen, and use the Overview function to see or switch between active apps.
For security, the Ascom Myco 4 offers various screen lock methods, including pattern, PIN, or password, and supports biometric unlocking via a fingerprint reader integrated into the Power button. This ensures that the handset is accessible only by intended personnel and helps prevent unauthorized access.
A key feature of the Ascom Myco 4 is its hot-swap battery functionality. This allows users to change the battery without powering down the handset or exiting active applications, ensuring continuous operation. The device provides clear indications of battery levels through warning signals and notifications, prompting users to charge or replace the battery when low.
The handset supports multiple charging methods, including a desktop charger, a handset charging rack, and a USB-C cable. For separate battery charging, a battery charging rack is available. The charging process is indicated by a charging screen showing the battery charge level and an LED that turns green when fully charged.
Depending on the variant, the Ascom Myco 4 can include a SIM card slot, enabling cellular connectivity in addition to Wi-Fi. The process for inserting and removing the SIM card is straightforward, involving unlocking and removing the battery, inserting the SIM card until it clicks, and then reinserting and locking the battery.
The Ascom Myco 4 is equipped with a Power button, Volume buttons, and four configurable multifunction buttons, offering flexible control over the device. The Power button, with its integrated biometric reader, allows users to power on/off, restart, lock the screen, put it into sleep mode, wake it up, and unlock it using a fingerprint. The Volume buttons control the audio level.
The multifunction buttons can be configured for various purposes, such as scanning barcodes, sending alarms, starting specific apps, or functioning as a Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, adapting the device to specific workflow needs.
Notifications are managed effectively on the lock screen, allowing users to expand, open, or dismiss them with simple gestures. The Notification drawer provides a comprehensive list of notifications, accessible by swiping down from the top of the screen, and can be hidden by swiping up or tapping outside the notification area.
Quick Settings provide convenient access to frequently used functions, allowing users to adjust screen brightness, put the handset in battery saver mode, and toggle various settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Do Not Disturb. These settings can be accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen.
The device's design includes a top multifunction button, barcode scanner (on some models), Ascom IR location (on some models), top microphone, multicolor LED, back camera with flashlight, front camera, earpiece speaker, main speaker, and bottom microphone, supporting a wide range of communication and data capture tasks. Additional features like a pull-cord port (on some models), wrist strap attachment, and an exchangeable color sticker enhance its usability and customization.
