external connection speeds, passwords, user mode, keyboard settings and idle times.
Except for the date and time, all settings will remain saved until modified by the user. In

UESTIONS
Q. Can I transfer data from QuickPAD Pro to my computer and, visa versa, from
my computer to the QuickPAD Pro?
A. Yes. You can transfer data from QuickPAD Pro by using our proprietary Infrared
receiver or by using a USB or Serial direct cable connection. To transfer data from
your computer to QuickPAD Pro, you must use a direct cable connection and the
communication software provided. For more information on transferring data
between QuickPAD and a computer see section 2.3 on communicating with a PC.
NOTE: Presently, you can only use unidirectional transfer to a Mac.
Q. Can you adjust the screen contrast and is the screen backlit?
A. You can adjust the contrast by pressing the
FN
key and the up/down arrow keys. The
screen, however, is not backlit due to power consumption. This is why you are able to
get up to 100 hours of power.
Q. Does QuickPAD Pro have an enlarged font option?
A. Yes. Press the
FN
key and the right-click menu key (the key to the left of the right-
hand
CTRL
button). Note that the standard font size of approximately 12 point will
change to approximately 18 point which means you will now have less than 8 lines of
display.
Q. How much text can I store on the QuickPAD Pro?
A. You can store approximately 500 pages of text on the internal memory (2K per page
64K per file – equivalent to 35 pages.). By using compact flash cards, however, the
amount of data you can store is practically unlimited.
Q. Is QuickPAD Pro compatible with a Windows XP operating system?
A. Yes. QuickPAD Pro is compatible with any Windows operating systems including
XP.
Q. Is the QuickPAD PRO durable?
A. Yes. QuickPAD Pro is not as fragile as a typical laptop or PDA, and will certainly
withstand the demands of mobile computing. Out of all the components of the
QuickPAD, the LCD screen is the most sensitive, but it is well protected by the
encasing. QuickPAD has been designed with your transportation and storage needs in
mind.
