NOTE:
For storage application, you may have to make sure that the CompactFlash cards are FAT-based.
What can I do with the CompactFlash (CF) card slot?
The CF card slot can support storage cards as well as peripherals such as network adapters (wireless or
otherwise), and barcode scanners, provided the appropriate drivers exist.
The device comes with a protective jacket and a shoulder strap – what do they offer and how do I use
them?
The protective jacket when properly secured around the device offers an enhanced handling experience with
protection against bumps and knocks, up to a 3-foot drop.
Use the shoulder strap hooked onto the protective jacket for hands-free portability. The jacket has 4 slots to allow
flexibility in connection to the shoulder strap.
The device comes with a desktop cradle – what are its functions?
The cradle for the WebDT 375 offers: support; charging pass-through; and USB host (2) and slave (1) ports. The
USB host ports offer connection of input devices, i.e., keyboard and mouse when the WebDT 375 is seated
securely on the cradle. Support for other classes of USB peripherals is subject to validation. The USB slave port
facilitates connection to PCs for software transfer, synchronization, and installation.
Refer to the section on
“Operating the WebDT 375 together with Cradle” in the Operation Guide for more details.
NOTE:
One-handed insertion and extraction of the device from the cradle is not possible as a result of the need to
maintain strong connection integrity between device and cradle to support the charging and USB pass-through.
FEATURES
What do all the buttons do?
The four buttons at the bottom of the panel have useful functions. When text input into the WebDT 375 is needed,
press the left-most button, and a virtual keyboard will appear on the screen. Tap the desired letters to enter text.
Press the button again to make the keyboard disappear. The second button (immediately to the right of the virtual
keyboard button) is factory programmed to initiate an ActiveSync connection with a laptop or PC. The 3
rd
and 4
th
buttons may come with default functions but are user-programmable. This is facilitated by the Buttons utility in the
WebDT 375, accessible through Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons icon. Some examples of their use
include initiating a Remote Desktop Session with a PC or server AND as a
Show Desktop
button which will
minimize all open windows, and display the desktop. The button on the right face of the WebDT 375 is a 4-way
navigator, and can be user-programmed (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons) to scroll up, down, left, or right
through menu selections, Web Pages, or other items supported by the software operating system.
What do all the lights mean?
There are three LEDs on the WebDT 375. The symbols above the LEDs reflect the corresponding features of the
WebDT 375 panel.
The record LED (the left-most LED) is accessible by applications at the factory level. It will be ON and showing
steady green when the WebDT 375 is recording from its internal microphone.
The network LED (middle LED) glows a steady color when the network adapter is detected and functional. At this
time, it is not an indicator of when the WebDT 375 is sending or receiving network information.
The battery LED (right-most LED) has a few different states.
When the battery LED is solid green, it means that the batteries are fully charged. When the battery LED is blinking
amber, this indicates that the battery is charging. This will only happen when the WebDT 375 is plugged into A/C
power.
