Chapter 1: Introduction

The Honeywell Marathon handheld computer is a rugged, Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer equipped with a Windows operating
system. Information in this guide includes instruction for all operating systems. Differences are highlighted as follows:
Windows® 7 Professional
Windows® Embedded Standard
Windows® XP Professional
The Marathon is capable of wireless data communications using an 802.11a/b/g/n radio. Additional connectivity options
include Bluetooth and GPS.
The Marathon is a tablet-style computer with a 62-key QWERTY keyboard with number pad and features a 7.1" color display.
The touch screen display supports WVGA (800x480 resolution) and is available optimized for either indoor or outdoor lighting.
The keyboard is illuminated to facilitate use in dimly lit areas. A biometric mouse is included for security and screen navigation.
Available add on modules include a magnetic stripe card reader and a 2D imager.
The Marathon provides the power and functionality of a desktop computer in a portable unit. The desktop dock, much like a
docking port for a conventional laptop, provides provisions for an external monitor and USB connections for devices such as a
USB keyboard and mouse.

Microsoft Windows License Agreement (First Boot)

If your Marathon is shipped with a Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed, it may be necessary to
complete the Windows licensing/registration screens when starting the Marathon for the first time. To complete this
information, you may need the Microsoft Windows software/product key that was included with the Marathon.

WWAN and the US and Canada
