Introduction

The WSS 1000 is a wearable data entry system consisting of
a laser bar code scanner (RS 1) worn on the operator’s
fingers, and a wrist computer (WWC 1000) worn on the
operator’s forearm.

The detachable components work equally well for right­and left-handed individuals. Detachable personal mounts
allow multiple operators to share both ring scanner and
wrist computer without having to use the same mount.

About This Guide

This guide presents information on system components,
assembling the system, battery installation and charging,
attaching the system, using the keyboard and scanner, and
disassembly for use by others.

Installing and Charging the Battery

The wrist computer and scanner are powered by a
Lithium-Ion battery pack. The pack provides power for a
typical 8-hour shift.

Note: Before using the wrist computer, install and ful-

ly charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack.

To install the battery pack in the WWC 1000:

1. Insert the battery pack, base first, in the battery
compartment.

Charging the Battery in WWC 1000

To charge the Lithium-Ion battery in the WWC 1000:

1. Place the WWC 1000 in the cra dle as shown below :

2. The cradle’s CHARGING light illuminates (RED) if
the WWC 1000 is properly seated and the battery is
charging.

3. The batt ery r equires ap proximate ly 2 hours to charge
fully. The CHARGING light changes to GREEN
when the battery is fully charged.

4. To remove the WWC 1000 from the cradle, tilt the
WWC 1000 upward and pull out.

For more information on the CS 1000 Cradle, refer to
the CS 1000 4-Slot Cradle QRG, p/n 70-17661-0X.

Charging the Spare Battery

Spare battery packs can be charged separate from the
WWC 1000. To charge a spare battery pack in the cradle:

1. Insert the pack in the cradle’s spare charging slot.

2. The CHARGING light illuminates red.

3. The spare pack is charged in approximately two
hours, even if the WWC 1000 is charging at the same
time. The CHARGING light changes to green when
the battery is fully charged.

7

Assembling the WSS 1000 System

To assemble the WWC 1000 (wrist computer):

1. Place the WWC 1000 wrist computer onto the wrist
mount, facing you. Be sure the mount is oriented so
that the longer strap will be further up the forearm.

2. Snap the bar over the WWC 1000 using the s naps on
either side of the mount. The straight part of the bar
should lay across the front of the WWC 1000; the
curved part in back.

8

Note: The snaps on the wrist mount act as a tear-away

device allowing the wrist computer to detach
from the mount if it catches on an object.

To assemble the RS 1 (ring scanner):

1. Adjust the strap of the ring mou nt to fit you r right or
left index and middle fingers:

a. Slip the mount onto your right or left index and

middle fingers, oriented so the trigger is next to
your thumb.

b. If necessar y, adjust the strap so that the moun t fits

comfortabl y.

c. Remove the mount.

2. Insert the ring scanner in the ring mount, depending
on right- or left-handed use.

a. Determine whether the scanner will be used on

the right or left arm.

b. Orient the ring scanner to the mount so that the

trigger is next to the operator’s thumb.

c. Slide the ring scanner backwards into the mount.

3. Plug the cable connector from the WWC 1000 in the
interface port on the back of the ring scanner, with
the arrow on the top of the cable facing up.

10

Place the WSS 1000 system on your arm:

1. Slide the wrist mount on your arm, so that the WWC
1000 wrist computer faces you.

2. Pull the straps thro ugh the buckles so the wrist
mount is secure but not tight.

3. Use the Velcro to secure the straps.

Communicating with the Host

Using the Cradle

The CS 1000 cradle is used to perform communications
with a host PC. To set up the cradle for operation:

1. Plug one end of a null modem cable (p/n 59846-03-

00) into the communications port located on the left
end of the cradle.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the host
computer’s serial (COMM) port.

3. Provide power to the cradle by plugging the power
supply’s round connector in to the power port on the
cradle and the other end of the power cable in an
electrical outlet.

4. Insert the WWC 1000 in the cradle (the ring scanner
can be attached).

5. Start the communications program as detailed in the
WSS 1000 Product Reference Guide.

Radio Communications

Wi reless communicatio n with the host is available through
the Spectrum One

Data Entry

Using the Keyboard

The keyboard consists of two types of keys: alphanumeric
character keys and modifier keys. Most keys are self­explanatory. Some guidelines for using the keyboard
include:

• Press keys one at a time. Pressing two keys
simultaneously produces an error.

• The default keyboard produce s numb e rs; to
produce letters, press the left Alpha Shift and the
appropriate key to produce th e le tte rs i n pu rp le,
and the right Alpha Shift to produce the letters in
green, as shown below.

Left Alpha Shift

Quick Reference

Right Alpha Shift

• Use the modifier keys, FU NC, SHIFT, and CTRL, in
combination with the character keys to produce
other characters or to issue commands. Refer to
documentation for your application for more
information.

• Cursor position is controlled by the Up Arrow,
Down Arrow, Left Arro , and Right Arrow keys.

Using the Ring Scanner

1. Power the WSS 1000 system and scanner on by
pressing the scanner’s trigger or the WWC 1000
power button.

2. Aim the scanner at the bar code, at a slight angle.

3. Adjust the thin, red laser beam to cover the en tire bar
code.

Optimal scanning dist ance varie s with bar code den ­sity and scanner optics, but most combinations wo rk
within 4 to 10 inches. Generally:

• Hold the scanner farther away for larger
symbols.

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

• Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code
being scanned. In this position, light may bounce
back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a
successful decode.

4. Press the trigger.
The Scan/Decode LED flashes green to indicate a

successful decode. The WWC 1000 may also beep.

Note: The procedur e for your scanner may differ from

the one listed above. Scanner use depends on
the application.

Introduction

Le WSS 1000 est un système de saisie de données prêt-à­porter qui se compose d’un lecteur laser de codes à barres
(RS 1) fixé sur le doigt de l’opérateur et d’un terminal
(WWC 1000) fixé sur son avant-bras.

Les composants amovibles sont conçus pour s’adapter aux
droitiers comme aux gauchers. Les dispositifs de fixation
individuels amovibles permettent à différents opérateurs
de partager le même matériel (lecteur en forme de bag ue et
terminal) tout en disposant chacun de son propre support
individuel.

Objet de ce guide

Ce guide présente des informations su r les composants du
système, leur montage, la mise en place et la charge de la
batterie, la fixation du système, l’utilisation du clavier et du
lecteur et le démontage des composants amovi bles lorsque
le système doit être utilisé par un autre opérateur.
