Advanced Power Management and Speed
Power Management

The PC5L-II uses Microsoft's Advanced Power Management® (APM) scheme to extend battery life. APM's functions include:

  • Puts the PC5L-II's components to sleep when not in use, awakening when needed.
  • Extends usage time to as much as 2-3 days for typical applications.
  • Built-in on-demand power meter and low battery alert.

If extended outdoor power consumption is a vital issue (more than 3 days), consider CMT's MC5 hand-held computer which utilizes the industry's best power management design and runs up to two weeks between recharges.

PC5-L-II Speed
No more long waits for your database search, file transfer or complex calculation.
The 16-bit AT bus of the PC5L-II completes a 16 bit memory instruction in only 2 CPU clock cycles.
The PC5L-II is as much as 5 times faster than other 16-bit hand-held computers.

PC5L-II Memory and PCMCIA Support
Reliable, Flexible Data Storage

The PC5L-II comes standard with one "Flash" EEPROM that you can use to store your program files, providing you with the maximum data integrity available in a hand-held computer. Additional Flash EEPROM slot available on the mother board for installing an optional second Flash EEPROM.

  • EEPROMs do not depend on battery power, preventing program loss in the event of power depletion.
  • Frees up available RAM for maximum data storage.
  • Program and update your Flash EEPROMs (both to erase and to write data) with CMT's BURN-FS utility and your PC5L-II. No other tools are required.
