Charging the PDA

Your PDA has been fully charged before shipping, so it shouldn’t require any charging before first use. To recharge it, plug the USB cable into the bottom connection on the PDA, and plug the other end into any USB port or to the PDA home charger. The light on the top, next to the power button, will turn orange indicating charge mode. When charging is complete, the light will turn green. You can also charge it in the car, using the car charger and the serial cable with charge connector. The Battery Indicator on the applications (home) screen will also show the charge status.

Muting the Sound

The PDA will make sounds during certain operations. The most noticeable is the alarm sound that occurs when you reach your upper speed limit on the Accel Test. The sounds can be defeated by sliding the sound defeat button to the right. It’s located on the top of the PDA, next to the power button.

Turning the PDA On

To turn the PDA on, press the power button, located on the top of the PDA. To turn off the PDA, simply press the power button again. To adjust for daylight or nighttime viewing, “double-click” the power button (press it twice real fast). Don’t hold the power button down for more than 2 seconds, though. That will cause an error and may require the PDA to be reset.

PDAs are designed to be used for brief periods many times during the day. As such, they don’t require long boot-up times or shutdown procedures like a PC does. The PDA remembers exactly what screen is being displayed when you turn it off, and when you turn it on again it will be at the same place. Also, PDAs will typically turn themselves off after a couple of minutes if no key is pressed to save batteries. However, since this can be quite annoying when you’re scanning a car, LS1M has an option on the Config screen for changing the “sleep” time while scanning. If the PDA is left on for a considerable amount of time, the PDA’s internal rechargeable batteries will go dead.
