To use the area imager
1 Press the power switch to turn on the 751G, point the scanner window a
few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.
2 Press either Scan button and center the red aiming beam over the bar
code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the
bar code and larger when it is further away.
3 When a bar code label is successfully read and a high beep is emitted,
release the Scan button you pressed.

Software Build Version
The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is
embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is
not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however, be erased during the
reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do
have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.
To check to see if your 751G has the latest PSM build or the latest CE
build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then scroll
down for the latest information displayed beneath the 751G Version
Information title.
