Working with Your Unit
Using the stylus
The touchscreen on your unit works like a mouse on a PC. Use the
stylus to navigate and select objects on the screen.
Tap: Tap the screen with the stylus to select or open an item.
Tapping is equivalent to clicking an item with the left mouse on
your PC.
Touch and hold: When you touch and hold, a circle of blue dots
appears around the stylus to indicate that a pop-up menu will soon
appear. Touching and holding is equivalent to right-clicking your
PC mouse button.
Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to
select text and images. Drag in a list to select multiple items.
PowerBoot Module
The PowerBoot Module includes the batteries to power the unit, the
power port used to charge the unit, and the I/O ports that are used to
communicate with other devices (such as a PC) using a USB or
serial cable.
Battery life: Battery life is very dependent upon the application and
operating environment. You can expect about 30 hours of battery
life. Typical usage includes using the unit in moderate or high
outside temperatures without using the backlight, and using low
power CF and SD cards, such as memory cards.
Cold temperatures, heavy use of the backlight and the use of high
power consumption CF cards (such as GPS) will all significantly
reduce the battery life.
Tips for extending the battery life:
- Use the backlight only when necessary. Use the
Fn
+
Power
keys to toggle the backlight on and off. Tap
Settings / System /
Backlight
to minimize the amount of time the backlight stays
on when the unit is idle.
