Processor
The 6200 Series computer contains a 80386SL 25 MHz processor. The standard
processor for the 6300 Series computer is an 80386SX 25 MHz processor. It can
be ordered with an 80486SL processor, with the option of either 25 MHz (6325
Computer) or 50 MHz (6350 Computer). Some models, such as 6210 and 6350
Computers, use TI 486 processors.
Display
The normal display, for all models in the 6200 and 6300 Series, is landscape.
However, most applications use a rotated (portrait mode) screen. Features and
option:
"
6200 Computer Ċ Backlit display and touch screen options.
"
6300 Computer Ċ Comes equipped with the backlit display.
The number of pixels:
"
6200 Computer Ċ 160 (width) x 200 (length) pixels
"
6300 Computer Ċ 320 (width) x 480 (length) pixels
The 6360 Computer has a larger screen than the 6350 Computer.
User Input
All models have builtĆin keypads. The 6200 Series computers come with either a
numeric or alphanumeric keypad, and the 6300 Series computers have numeric
keypads. See Section 5 for details. Most user input is done using touch, pen, or
bar code scanning.
Power Management
Advanced Power Management (APM) is critical. It consists of a main battery
and a backup battery. This combination of APM software and batteries provides
a smart battery pack.
B
CAUTION:
These computers have ONE primary power source. That is the MAIN Battery. The
only function for the Backup Battery is to maintain power to RAM while changing the
Main Battery. At all times, during operation and while being stored (overnight, long
periods of time, and even while in suspend), the unit must have its Main Battery
installed.
The Main Battery, even in suspend mode, maintains RAM, RTC, and CMOS
settings. When the HHC is off charge, the Main Battery also supplies any
needed charge to the Backup Battery.
The Backup Battery is for emergencies only. The Backup Battery should not be
relied upon, for extended periods, to support the system with no Main Battery.
A unit with functioning Main and Backup Batteries can be left off charge
overnight or for a long weekend, presuming it has fully charged and functioning
Main and Backup Batteries.
"
NOTE:
A discharged Backup Battery takes 14 hours to recharge. A discharged Main Battery takes 2
hours to recharge.
