PowerPad Handheld Data Terminal! Its unique functionality and
features make this state-of-the-art ruggedized Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA) superior for use in a wide range of applications.
Note that in this manual the Enhanced PowerPad is also referred to
as PowerPad.
This manual covers the basic setup operations and use of the Pow-
erPad terminal. Since your PowerPad applications are designed by
your company or organization, this manual does not cover any of
the software applications resident in your PowerPad. For software
applications description, refer to the specific application manual or
contact your company or organization representative for instruc-
tions.
The PowerPad network communication and power charge is
through a Universal Office Dock (UOD) unit. Note that this man-
ual briefly mentions the UOD. For detailed installation and opera-
tion of the UOD, refer to UOD User Manual,
Motorola P.N. 98-08901C59.
What is the PowerPad Terminal
The PowerPad handheld data terminal is a ruggedized device,
designed for field applications where fast data acquisition is
required.
The PowerPad carries the functionality of a state-of-the-art Per-
sonal Digital Assistant (PDA) that enables portable access to
mobile applications, such as mobile messaging, queries and Com-
puter Aided Dispatch.
It contains a variety of options, including built-in barcode scanner
(for 1D and 2D labels), Bluetooth® and General Packet Radio Ser-
2
vice (GPRS) radios, all with internal antennas for increased rugge-
dization.
The 3.5” color touch screen with illumination enables easy access
to various applications and signature capture in all light conditions.
The IrDA port serves for data exchange between the PowerPad and
data network using the Universal Office Dock (UOD) unit.
The PocketPC 2003®-based operating system supports multimedia
and audio applications, using a built-in microphone, speaker and
buzzer. A removable CompactFlash (accessed only by service) is
used for memory expansion and operating system updates.
The PowerPad is powered by a 7.2V 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion bat-
tery pack that supports 12 hours of typical operation. The battery is
fully recharged within three hours, using the UOD unit.

The Universal Office Dock (UOD) Unit
The UOD unit is used for charging the PowerPad battery and com-
municating with the PowerPad through an IrDA port. Each UOD
unit has nine slots. Each slot may accommodate either a PowerPad
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 cor-
responding LED is Off. When a battery or a PowerPad with a bat-
tery is inserted to a slot, the slot LED turns On, indicating the
battery charge (see Table 1). The battery power can also be tested
by pressing the battery power TEST button (see Figure 5).
