CAUTION
Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on
Page 120.
Before using the FR68 Series for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Battery Status LED remains lit (see Table 1-2 on Page 20 for charge status indications). To charge the FR68 Series, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply . For information about the accessories available for the FR68 Series, see Chapter 8, Accessories.
The FR68 Series is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery . When using the FR68 Series for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature) when the FR68 Series' main battery is removed. When the FR68 Series reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.
To charge the main battery, use either a charging cable or a cradle. z Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle. To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the FR68 Series into a cradle or attach to a cable. The FR68 Series begins charging. The
Charging/Battery Status LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged. See Table 1-2 on Page 20 for charging indications.

Linear Scanning
FR68 Series with an integrated linea r sca nner hav e th e following feature s: z Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and
1-D code types.
z Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However , consider the following to optimize scanning perfo rmance:
z Range Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics. Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned.
z Angle Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this special reflection can “blind” the scanner. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect sca ttered refle ctions from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
z Hold the FR68 Series farther away for larger symbols. z Move the FR68 Series closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and FR68 Series configuration. An
application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.
1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the FR68 Series.
2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.
Figure 2-15 Linear Scanning
44
Page 47
Using the FR68 Series
3. Press the scan button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Scan/Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights g reen and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

Using GPS Navigation
Chapter 3 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The FR68 Series includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the Qualcom m chip. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that conti nuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signal s cont ai n dat a on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.
WARNING
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers.
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing, downloading, or inst alling any software) to determine that the applicat ion is compatible with the FR68 Series. Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
FR68 Series GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled FR68 Series uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, so the operating system automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.
Ensure that the following settings are se t on the FR68 Series:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2. In the Programs tab, select GPD1 from the GPS program port drop-down list.
!
When using the FR68 Series in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to
operate the controls of the device while driving.

3. In the Hardware tab, select COM6 in the GPS hardware port drop-down list.
4. Tap ok to close the Setting window.
NOTE
If an application error message appears indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM
port is selected in the
GPS hardware port drop-down list.
Using GPS Navigation
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view , acquisition takes much longe r and could result in the FR68 Series being unable to compute the initial position quickly . When o perating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS navigation software:
1. Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the FR68 Series.
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot.
3. Replace the Memory Card Cover.
Downloading GPS Data
Use this function to download GPS data to enhance GPS performance. This may require additional charge for data connection.
1. Tap Start > Program > GPSXtra icon.
2. Enter GPSXtra to download GPS data.
When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the FR68 Series does not go into suspend mode. If the FR68 Series suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS
signal, resulting in a delay of positional information.

Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS
If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
1. Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
2. Once you end the phone call, press the End C all button to resume the audio on the GPS
software.
NOTE
Anytime you are using GPS on the FR68 Series and you re ceive a phone cal l, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the FR68 Series may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the FR68 Series from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the FR68 Series where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the FR68 Series and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.
Assisted GPS
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A S t and-al one GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the FR68 Series to communicate with a location server.

Using Bluetooth
Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wir es, using f requen cy-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption.
FR68 Series with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, a nd tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, and other mobile computers. T o use the FR68 Series as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and FR68
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Series.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.1 1b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
• Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
pre-defined channel mask.
• Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth
network.
• Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping
channels.
• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.1 1b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Motorola mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this FR68 Series operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
61
Page 64
Using Bluetooth
NOTE
It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is
required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification define s security algorithms and procedures needed to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key that is used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN number is never sent over the air . By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN number or passkey that is used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
z Perform pairing in a secure environment. z Keep PIN codes private and don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer. z Implement application-level security.
Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is of f, o ther Blue tooth de vices can not see or conne ct to the FR68 Series. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
