Introducing the M71V2

This chapter describes how to get started using your M71V2 handheld terminal and get you up and running fast.

The M71V2 handheld terminal is an ultra-versatile, high-performance, designed-to- fit-your-budget terminal. The ergonomic design easily fits in even the smallest of hands. It is rugged, lightweight, compact and easy-to-use. The high resolution

graphical display is capable of presenting a multitude of fonts and images.

The M71V2 utilizes a true, fully functional, Linux operating system. The Linux operating system is well known for its stability, speed and conservative memory usage. The Linux operating system coupled with the M71V2’s high speed processor makes the M71V2 one of the fastest handheld terminals on the market today. In test after test the Linux operating system has out-performed DOS based and Windows based operating systems when compared on similar hardware platforms.

The M71V2 is easy to use and program. Our specifically designed CommandLink™ RF (Radio Frequency) software makes it easy to create custom applications for any requirement. Our terminal emulation software makes it easy to integrate the M71V2 into legacy applications as well. You can even utilize standard BASIC software on the M71V2 handheld terminal.

Power saving features of the M71V2 includes auto-off and power save modes, which reduce power consumption until an operator provides input. These features conserve battery power and lengthen the time between charges or battery replacement. The M71V2 was designed to operate for a full 8 hour shift without requiring the battery to be re- charged or replaced.
