Honeywell MX7 Tecton, Reference Manual

Page: 26 / 366

System Memory
The CPU configuration supports 256MB on-board flash. The system optimizes for the amount of RAM available.
Internal flash is used for boot loader code and system low-level diagnostics code. Bootloader code is validated at system
startup.
Internal SD Card Slot
One SD Memory card slot for Expansion Memory, located in the main battery well, and protected by a rubber flap. 1GB and
4GB flash memory cards are available from Honeywell.
Video Subsystem
The touch screen is a 3.5” (8.9 cm) diagonal viewing area, ¼ VGA 320 by 240 pixel TFT Reflective Active Color LCD.
Backlighting is available and can be turned on and off with key sequences. The turn-off timing is configured through the Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Display icon. The display controller supports Microsoft CE 6 graphics modes.
A touch screen allows mouse functions (tapping on the display or signature capture) using a stylus. The touch screen has an
actuation force with finger less than 100 grams. The color display has an LED backlight and is optimized for indoor use.
The display appears black when the MX7 Tecton is in Suspend Mode.
Power Supply
The MX7 Tecton uses one of two batteries for operation.
l
Main Battery A replaceable 2200 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. The battery pack recharges while in the MX7
Tecton when the device is connected to the optional external MX7 Tecton AC/DC power source. The main battery pack
can be removed from the MX7 Tecton and inserted in the MX7 Tecton Battery Charger which simultaneously charges
up to four battery packs in four hours. A new main battery pack can be fully charged in 6 hours when it is in an MX7
Tecton connected to AC power and 3.5 hours when it is in the MX7 Tecton battery charger.
l
Low temperature Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries have a 1250 mAh capacity.
l
Super-capacitor (Super-cap). No backup "battery" is used. Super-cap internal battery maintains RAM and other vital
settings during a critical shutdown.
Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the MX7 Tectons internal charging
circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and Super-cap battery. Frequent connection to an external power
source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain main battery charge status as the Super-cap battery cannot be
recharged by a dead or missing main battery.
