Charging the Battery
Caution: Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on
page 87.
Charging the Main Battery
Before using the ET1 for the first time, charge the main battery until the Battery Charge light emitting diode (LED)
turns solid green (see Table 2: Battery Charge LED Status on page 20 for charge status indications). To charge the
ET1, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the
ET1, see Accessories on page 79.
The ET1 is equipped with a memory backup battery that automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery.
When using the ET1 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 random access memory (RAM) data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature)
MN000022A02-A | February 2015
Page 20
20 | Getting Started
when the ET1’s main battery is removed, when Battery swap feature is used. When the ET1 reaches a very low
battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 36 hours.
For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures see Accessories on page 79.
•USB/Charge Cable

Data Capture
The ET1 offers the following data capture options:
•Scanning Module
•Scanning/MSR Module
•integrated digital camera
•optional CS3070 Bluetooth laser scanner.
Note: DataWedge is installed and enabled on the ET1 by default.
51 | Data Capture
Scanning Modules
The ET1 with an integrated Scan Module has 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 laser aiming cross-hair for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The modules 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.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing
a scan button.
•Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
Note: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge.
•Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair 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).
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following features:
•Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, QR,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
MN000022A02-A | February 2015
Page 52
52 | Data Capture
•Picklist mode to decode a particular bar code from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, and executes state-of-the-art
software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Laser Scanning
The optional CS3070 scanner has 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.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode where 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 farther away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
•Angle
-Scan 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 do not 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 device farther away for larger symbols.
•Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Note: Scanning procedures depend on the application and device configuration. An application may use
different scanning procedures from those described.
Bar Code Capture with Scanning or Scanning/MSR Module
Procedure:
1 Ensure that an application is open on the ET1 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2 Point the top of the ET1 at a bar code.

3 Press and hold either Scan/Action button.
Data Capture | 53
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the
cross-hairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
The Scan/Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green, a beep sounds and the
ET1 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Note that when the ET1 is in Pick List
Mode, the ET1 does not decode the bar code until the center of the crosshair touches the bar code.

Procedure:
1 Ensure that an application is open on the ET1 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in a text field).
2 Aim the rear-facing camera at a bar code.
3 Press and hold either Scan/Action button. By default, a preview window appears. The Decode light emitting diode
(LED) lights red to indicate that data capture is in process.

5 The Decode LED lights green, a beep sounds and the ET1 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code was
decoded successfully.
6 The captured data appears in the text field.
Bar Code Capture with CS3070 Bluetooth Scanner
The CS3070 Bluetooth scanner captures bar code data, and transmits it to the ET1 via Bluetooth. The scanner
supports Bluetooth human interface device (HID) connection to the ET1 where the scanner emulates a keyboard, as
well as Serial Port Profile (SPP) connection where the scanner behaves as if there is a serial connection. See the ET1Enterprise Tablet Integrator Guide for setup and configuration information.

WLAN
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the ET1 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the
ET1 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as
infrastructure). The infrastructure and the ET1 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches or Radius
servers) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wi-Fi settings configure the
ET1 to match the security scheme.
Note: Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.

Bluetooth
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 (10 meters (32.8 feet) ) communication and
low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
61 | Bluetooth
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 Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5 mW
and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). 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 required 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 used to authenticate the devices and
create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired
generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no
MN000022A02-A | February 2015
Page 62
62 | Bluetooth
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 or passkey 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 longdistance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
•Perform pairing in a secure environment
•Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
•Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The ET1 supports the following Bluetooth services:
•Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Must support both Initiator and Acceptor roles.
•Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Supports both Local Device and Remote Device.
•Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Supports both Device A and Device B roles.
•Dial-up Networking (DUN) Profile - Supports connecting a computer to the ET1 to access the internet.
Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default.
•Suspend — When there is no active Bluetooth connections, the Bluetooth radio turns off.
Note: If there is an active Bluetooth connection between the ET1 and another Bluetooth device and
there is no data activity, the ET1 will time out. However, if the user presses the Power button on the
ET1, the ET1 will suspend and upon receiving data from a remote Bluetooth device, the ET1 will wake
from suspend mode. For example, Bluetooth scanner sending data to the ET1.
•Resume — When the ET1 resumes, Bluetooth turns on if it was on prior to suspend.
•Airplane Mode — When the ET1 is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane
Mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state.
Bluetooth Radio Power – Android
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the device. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange
information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
Note: To achieve the best battery life turn off radios when not in use.
