Charging the Battery

CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page

6-2.

Charging the Main Battery

Before using the MC55 for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status LED remains lit (see Table 1-1 on page 1-6 for charge status indications). To charge the MC55, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC55, see

Chapter 5, Accessories.

The MC55 is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery. When using the MC55 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 40 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 MC55’s main battery is removed. When the MC55 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.

For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures refer to the MC55 Integrator Guide.

•

USB Charging Cable

•

Charge Only Cable

•

Single-slot USB Cradle

•

Single-slot Ethernet/Modem/USB Cradle

•

Four-slot Charge Only Cradle.

To charge the main battery:

1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

2. Insert the MC55 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The MC55 begins charging. The Charging/Battery Status

LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-1 for charging indications.

The 2400 mAh battery fully charges in less than four hours and the 3600 mAh battery charges in less than six hours.

Using Voice-Over-IP

NOTE Voice-Over-IP is currently supported on the MC55A0. It will be supported on the MC55N0 in a

future update.

The MC55 supports Voice over IP over WLAN (VoWLAN) using Motorola or third party voice clients. The MC55 can communicate using VoIP either using the MC55 supports several audio outputs, including back speaker phone, front receiver or handset, and Bluetooth headset.

It is recommended that the wireless network use the 802.11a (5 GHz) band for voice applications. Using the 5 GHz band avoids some noise sources that may occur on the 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) band due to wireless interference.

When using a Bluetooth headset with the MC55 and VoWLAN, it is required to use the Bluetooth Headset profile instead of Hands-free profile. Use the buttons on the MC55 to answer and end calls. See Chapter 4,

Bluetooth for information on setting up a Bluetooth Headset Profile.

Interactive Sensor Technology

The Interactive Sensor Technology (IST) supports the following features:

•

Power Management – manages power by configuring IST to control switching on/off the backlight, control suspend mode of the MC55 by monitoring motion and orientation.

•

Display Orientation – switches the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the

MC55 orientation.

•

Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.

Power Management

The MC55 orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC55 usage and can be used to manage the battery power of the mobile computer. For example, IST can be configured to control the backlight on and off functionality or go into suspend according to a user gesture by placing screen facing down. It can also be used to keep the MC55 active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend mode while in use.

Operation 2 - 23

Display Orientation

The screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical orientation of the MC55. For example, if the MC55 is rotated 90° counterclockwise, IST rotates the display counterclockwise 90° so that the screen display appears correct.

This functionality is achieved by monitoring screen angle and rotating the display to counter any changes. IST only rotates the screen in multiples of 90°.

Free Fall Detection

IST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC55 according to its current position. When the MC55 free falls, IST detects the absence of gravitational force and records the event data if it detects a free fall more than 450 ms, which may indicates nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or misuse.

IST features a log for recording the free fall events. This log records the date, time and the time period of the free fall.

CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE

Introduction

The MC55 offers three types of data capture options:

•

Linear scanning

•

Imaging

•

Digital camera.

NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC55. A sample

scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at http://support.symbol.com.

Linear Scanning

MC55 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features:

•

Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.

•

Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Imaging

MC55 with an integrated imager have the following features:

•

Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.

•

The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming) for easy point-and-shoot operation.

The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

3 - 2 MC55A0/MC55N0 Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide

Operational Modes

MC55 with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing the Scan button.

•

Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC55 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field

of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.

NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at

http://support.symbol.com. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.

•

Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is

in the MC55’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required bar code to decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

•

Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC55’s field of view. This is useful

for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Digital Camera

MC55 with an integrated digital camera have the following features:

•

Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.

•

Advanced intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

The camera uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

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 performance:

•

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.

•

Angle Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the

scanner from the bar code, this specular 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 scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

•

Hold the MC55 farther away for larger symbols.

•

Move the MC55 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC55 configuration. An application may use different

Linear Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC55 contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content.

CHAPTER 4 BLUETOOTH

Introduction

Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-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.

MC55s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the MC55 as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC55.

TheMC55 with Bluetooth technology uses either the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack or the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. To write an application that uses the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack APIs, refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping

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 802.11b 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 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Motorola mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.

4 - 2 MC55A0/MC55N0 Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide

The Bluetooth radio in this MC55 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.

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 defines 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:

•

Perform pairing in a secure environment

•

Keep PIN codes private and don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer

•

Implement application-level security.

The Microsoft stack supports Smart-pairing. For detailed information, refer to the Microsoft MSDN.

Security Mode 3 (Link Level Encryption)

The MC55 supports Security Level 3 (Link Level Encryption). Link level encryption is the data security process of encrypting information at the data link level as it is transmitted between two devices.

Microsoft Bluetooth Stack

When pairing with a remote device using the Microsoft Bluetooth UI, Security Level 3 (Link Level Encryption) is automatically used. When developing applications using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, enable Security Mode 3 using the BthSetEncryption API call. Refer to the Microsoft MSDN for more information.

StoneStreet One Bluetooth Stack

To set Security Mode 3 on outgoing serial port connections, set Encrypt Link On All Outgoing Connections checkbox in the Settings > Security. See Security on page 4-36 for more information.

Bluetooth Configuration

By default, the MC55 is configured to using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. Refer to the MC55 Integrator Guide, Appendix B, for information on switching to the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.
