Chapter 2: Set Up A New Marathon This page lists a quick outline of the steps you might take when setting up a new Marathon. More instruction for each step is listed later in this guide. Please refer to the Marathon Reference Guide for additional information and instruction.
The Marathon contains an internal Lithium Ion battery that, once fully charged, powers the Marathon for a minimum of 3 hours and 30 minutes (when the unit is not mounted in a powered dock or connected to an AC/DC adapter or extended battery).
Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen. Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen.
Using the Biometric Mouse The biometric mouse is located to the right of the keypad. Slide a finger over the biometric mouse to move the cursor in the direction the finger moves. Tapping the biometric mouse once generates a left-click, tapping twice rapidly generates a double-click. Tapping the biometric mouse and holding generates a right-click.
LED Indicators Power Button The power button is backlit as follows: Off when not activated, Marathon is Off Solid blue when activated, Marathon is On Flashes blue when Marathon is in standby Status LEDs Status LED indicators are located next to the upper left hand corner of the display.
