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.

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 fully 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 cradle 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 battery requires approximately 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.

6

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 snaps 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 mount to fit your 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 necessary, adjust the strap so that the mount fits comfortably.

c. Remove the mount.

9

2.Insert the ring scanner in the ring mount, depending on rightor 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 through 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 into 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

Wireless communication with the host is available through the Spectrum One® radio network. For information on performing radio communications, refer to the WSS 1000 Product Reference Guide.

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 produces numbers; to produce letters, press the left Alpha Shift and the appropriate key to produce the letters in purple, and the right Alpha Shift to produce the letters in green, as shown below.

Left Alpha Shift

Right Alpha Shift

•Use the modifier keys, FUNC, 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 entire bar code.

RIGHT

012345

WRONG

012345

16

Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics, but most combinations work 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 procedure 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-à- porter 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 bague et terminal) tout en disposant chacun de son propre support individuel.

Objet de ce guide

Ce guide présente des informations sur 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 amovibles lorsque le système doit être utilisé par un autre opérateur.

2.Le témoin CHARGE du puits s’allume (ROUGE) lorsque le WWC 1000 est correctement enclenché et que la batterie est en cours de charge.

3.La charge complète de la batterie prend environ 2 heures. Le témoin CHARGE vire au VERT une fois la charge terminée.

26

4.Pour extraire le WWC 1000 du puits, inclinez le WWC 1000 vers le haut et extrayez-le.

Pour plus d’informations sur le puits de chargement et de communication CS 1000, reportez-vous au

Guide utilisateur du puits de chargement et de communication CS 1000 à 4 positions, réf. 70-17661-0X.

Charge de la batterie de rechange

Vous pouvez charger des packs de batteries hors du WWC 1000. Pour charger un pack de batteries de rechange dans le puits, procédez comme suit :

1.Insérez le pack dans le compartiment prévu à cet effet.

2.Le témoin CHARGE rouge s’allume.

3.Il faut environ deux heures pour charger le pack de rechange, même si le WWC 1000 est chargé en même temps. Le témoin CHARGE vire au vert une fois la charge terminée.

Montage du système WSS 1000

Pour monter le WWC 1000 (terminal) :

1.Placez le terminal WWC 1000 sur le dispositif de fixation, face à vous. Lorsque le dispositif est correctement positionné, la sangle la plus longue se trouve sur la partie supérieure de l’avant-bras.

28

2.Fixez la barre au-dessus du WWC 1000 au moyen des boutons pression situés de part et d’autre du dispositif de fixation. La partie droite de la barre doit reposer sur l’avant du WWC 1000, la partie incurvée sur l’arrière.

Remarque : Les boutons pression du support de fixation constituent un dispositif de dégagement qui désolidarise le terminal du support lorsqu’il se coince dans un objet.
