Charging the Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the wearable terminal for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status
LED remains lit (see Table 1-3 on page 1-6 for charge status indications).
The wearable terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main
battery whether or not the wearable terminal is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the wearable terminal's main battery is removed or fully
discharged. When the wearable terminal is used for the first time or after the me mory backup battery has fully
discharged, the memory backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the
main battery from the wearable terminal for 15 hours to ensu re that the memory backup battery fully charges. If
the main battery is removed from the wearable terminal or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory
backup battery completely discharges in several hours.
When the wearable terminal reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup
battery retains data in memory for at least 24 hours.
NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the
backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.
Charge the wearable terminal with an installed main battery using either the Single Slot USB cradle or the Four
Slot Ethernet cradle.
To charge the main battery:
1.Ensure the cradle used to charge the main battery is connected to the appropriate power source.
2.Insert the wearable terminal into a cradle.
3.The wearable terminal starts to charge automatically. The amber Charge Status LED lights to indicate the
charge status. See Table 1-3 for charging indications. The standard capacity battery fully charges in less

Resetting the Wearable Terminal
There are two types of resets, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot r estar ts the wearable terminal by closing
all running programs.
A cold boot also restarts the wearable terminal, but era ses all stored records and entrie s in RAM. Data saved in
flash memory or a memory card is not lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the
factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the wearable terminal and saves all stored records and entries. If the
wearable terminal still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the wearable terminal starts to
perform a warm boot release the Power button.

Data Capture
Wearable terminals used with an optional wearable laser scanner allow collection of data by scanning one
dimensional bar codes.
Laser Scanning
Wearable terminals with an optional wearable laser scanner have the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code
types.
•
Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two
important considerations can be used to optimize any 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 r ange for the bar code s being
scanned. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules.
The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called a
decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum
element widths of bar code symbols.
•
Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick de codes. 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.
NOTE Contact the Symbol Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed
bar codes should be quick and effortless.
Scanning Bar Codes
1.Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.
2.Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.
3.Press the trigger.
•
Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The red sca n LED light s to indicate that the laser
is on. The green scan LED lights. An audible beep might sound, if the application determines, to
indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

4.Release the trigger .
Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern
Scanning Tips
Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.
•
Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
•
Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and wearable terminal configuration. An application
may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

T
TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol use d to internetwork
dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for
communications. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is
received correctly at the other end. UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is
widely used for real-time voice and video transmissions where erroneous packets ar e not retransmitted. IP
provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not
only the address of the destination station, but the address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP
messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the world, hence its use in the
worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which is either
permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a
user at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.
Terminal. See Wearable Terminal.
