  When the battery is low, the unit will beep every 10 seconds. This stops 

when charging starts or after two minutes, when the unit stops any 

acquisition and turns off.

SD Card Slot

The Mobile accepts full sized SD and SDHC cards in the SD card slot. It is designed 

such that the SD card is flush with the case when inserted to prevent accidental removal 

during acquisition. The depression in the middle of the slot allows the card to be inserted 

or removed by pushing with a fingernail, pencil eraser, or other blunt object.

  We recommend using SDHC cards for their increased performance.

Display and Light Sensor

In the interest of increasing battery life, the Mobile uses a low-power LCD screen with 

the ambient light sensor to limit the backlight intensity during use.  Any key press will 

wake up the backlight for a short period of time.

Keypad

The keypad consists of two context buttons (

A and B

), four arrow buttons, and a 

Run   (

) button. The arrow buttons are used for navigation and unlocking the unit during 

acquisition. The   button is the power button for the unit and also functions as an 

OK or Select button, depending on what is on the screen. The context buttons change 

function depending on text on the screen above them, or they act as event buttons 

during acquisition. In many situations, the   button duplicates the functionality of 

context button 

B

.

  Use the context buttons during acquisition to mark events.
