Hardware Configuration

Processor, Memory and Storage

The Marathon has an Intel® Atom Z530 (1.6GHz) processor. System memory is 1 GB or 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM. Storage is
supplied by an internal solid state hard drive (8, 16, 32 or 64GB).

Display

A 7.1" WVGA (800x480) display is installed. The display includes a touch screen. Depending on the option ordered, the display
is optimized for either indoor or outdoor ambient lighting. An Intel® controller is provided for the display. The controller is capable
of supporting a second display when the Marathon is docked in a desktop dock with an external display attached to the
VGA port on the dock.

Audio

The Marathon contains two integrated speakers and an integrated microphone. An audio connector is available for an external
headset.

Wireless Communication

The following options are available:
• 802.11 WLAN radio
• Bluetooth
• WWAN
• GPS
Several wireless devices may be installed in the Marathon. The available devices and combinations may vary by regulatory
domain. Available devices include:
• An 802.11 radio. See 802.11 Wireless Network Configuration (page 6-1).
• A Bluetooth radio. See Bluetooth Configuration (page 7-1).
• A WAN card. See OneClick Internet Wireless Configuration (page 8-1).

Power Management

The Marathon uses Microsoft Windows Power Management. The Marathon has two operating modes: Normal and Standby.
In Normal operating mode all systems are powered up and the video display is on. However, Microsoft Windows also allows the
display and hard disks to be shut down in normal mode to conserve energy.
The Standby mode shuts down many devices such as the display and hard drives. For complete details on the standby mode,
refer to the Microsoft Help and Support (Start > Help and Support).

Power Input / Main Battery

The Marathon is powered by a main battery (Lithium Ion rechargeable 2200 mAh) concealed inside the Marathon case, that
provides 3.5 hours of operation without a recharge. The main battery can be recharged using external power sources, such as
an indoor AC/DC adapter connected directly to the Marathon. The main battery remains concealed in the Marathon while
charging. The main battery will also recharge when the Marathon is docked in a powered desktop dock or vehicle dock. With an
attached fully charged extended battery, Marathon battery life is increased to 6 or 10 hours based on the extended battery
selected. The main battery and an attached extended battery are recharged whenever the Marathon is:
• connected to an AC power adapter.
• placed in a powered desktop dock.
• placed in a powered vehicle dock.
When AC power is disconnected from a Marathon with an attached extended battery, operating power is drawn from the
extended battery until it is depleted, then from the main battery.
