About the Battery
EDA71 uses 3.8V rechargeable lithium ion battery as its main power supply. The
battery capacity is 15.2 watt/hour. Battery life is influenced by many factors, such
as: screen brightness, the length of time before the screen automatically go to
sleep, input configurations, extreme temperature and using behaviors, etc.
Note: Honeywell suggests you to keep the battery charged to avoid data loss. Change
battery only after switching off the device as per normal. Switch on the device after
completing change of battery.
If you need to buy a replaceable battery, please contact regional resellers.
Honeywell recommends using only a Honeywell lithium battery; any damage
caused by use of non-Honeywell battery is not covered by warranty.

SCAN FUNCTION
This chapter describes how to scan barcodes and set scan functions.
Scan Function
Integrated scanner enables reading for 1D and 2D barcode, composite code and
postcode. It supports comprehensive, highly flexible scanning in real applications.
Imaging Engine can capture black and white images, such as signatures and damaged inventory lists.
About Provisioning Mode
After completing the out-of-box set up process, Provisioning Mode is automatically turned off. Scanning a bar code to install applications, certificates, configuration files, and licenses on the tablet is restricted unless you enable Provisioning
mode in the Settings app.
Scan a Bar Code with the Scan Demo
For optimum performance, avoid reflections by scanning the bar code at a slight
angle.
1. Swipe up on the screen to access all apps.
2. Select Demos > Scan Demo. Point the tablet at the bar code
3. Touch Scan on the screen or press and hold any Scan button.
4. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The decode results appear on the

About the Scan Wedge Feature
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. You can use applications that are
coded to use the scanner or applications that receive data through the scan wedge
feature. If an application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
You can find information on how to create custom applications for the computer in
the Software Development Kit (SDK) available for download from the Technical Sup-port Downloads Portal at https://hsmftp.honeywell.com. Once you create an
account and enter the portal, navigate to Software > Software and Tools > Devel-oper Library > SDKs for Android.

Scan Bar Codes
By default, the computer imager is enabled for scanning. It supports
omni-directional (360°) bar code scanning and an aiming beam is provided to help
assist with targeting bar codes.
Before you start scanning bar codes, go into Settings > Honeywell Settings >
Scanning > InternalScanner and modify the scan profile to enable only the bar
code symbologies that you need. By reducing the active symbology list, you can
increase scan speed.
1. Point the scanner window at the bar code. For optimum performance, avoid
reflections by scanning the bar code at a slight angle.
2. Press and hold any Scan button.
3. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. Make sure the entire bar code is
inside of the illumination frame.
4. Release the Scan button when the computer beeps, and the Scan Status LED
briefly turns on. The bar code information is entered into the application in use.
Note: Not all bar code symbologies are enabled by default. If a bar code does not scan, the

About Wireless Security
The computer provides these security solutions for your wireless network:
•Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)
•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
•802.1x
Honeywell recommends WPA2 security with PSK (Personal) or 802.1x (Enterprise)
key management.
Before you set security, you need to enable the radio, set the date, and set the SSID
on your computer. To use 802.1x security, you need to load a root certificate on
your computer. To use transport layer security (TLS) with 802.1x security, you also
need to load a user certificate.
Use the Settings app to access and configure all wireless security settings.
About Certificates
You can use digital certificates to identify the computer for network access or
authentication to servers. To use a certificate to identify your device, you must
install it in the trusted credential storage on the computer.
Android supports DER-encoded X.509 certificates saved in files with a .crt or .cer
file extension. To install a valid certificate with a .der or other extension, you must
change the extension to .crt or .cer to install it.
Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store files with a
.p12 or .pfx extension. To install a valid key store file with another extension, you
must change the extension to .p12 or .pfx to install it. When you install a certificate
from a PKCS#12 key store, Android also installs any accompanying private key or
certificate authority certificates.
Load a Certificate
To use a certificate, you must install it in the trusted credential storage on the
computer.
Note: Apps such as email and browsers that support certificates allow you to install
certificates directly from within the app. For more information, see the help that
comes with the app.
1. Copy the certificate or key store from your PC to the mobile computer.
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen to access all apps.

About Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC technology provides the ability for short-range, wireless data transfer
between the EDA71 and NFC tags or other NFC enabled devices placed in close
proximity to the back of the computer. All EDA71 mobile computers support the
following modes of operation:
EDA71 User Guide63
•NFC tag reader/writer mode: The computer reads and/or writes digital
information from or to an NFC tag.
•Peer-to-Peer (P2P) mode: The tablet uses Android Beam and/or Bluetooth
technology to transfer screen content (e.g., a picture, contact information, Web
page url, or file) between NFC enabled devices.
•NFC card emulation mode: The tablet emulates an NFC card (smart card) that
an external card reader can access. You can download and install apps for card
emulation mode from the Google Play Store. Some examples include digital
wallets (e-wallets) offered by your bank or credit card company and Google Pay.
The app you install determines the type of emulation mode used: Card Emulation with a Secure Element or Host-based Card Emulation. Secure element use
is common for financial transactions that require a high level of security in
order to provide a secure memory and execution environment for running custom smart card applets and storing your personal information (e.g., account
information and credentials).
Note: When using a Universal Integrated Circuit (UICC) card for NFC Secure Element NFC
link encryption, install the card in SIM slot 1.
