Chapter 3 Data Capture
Introduction
The MC45 offers two types of data capture options:
•
Laser scanning
•
Color digital camera.
The MC45 contains the DataWedge application that allows user to enable the camera, decode the bar code data
and display the bar code content. To enable DataWedge, see DataWedge on page 3-4.
Laser Scanning
An MC45 with an integrated laser scanner has the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
•
Adaptive Scanning.
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 dependable decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer or further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
•
Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes.
3 - 2 MC45 User Guide
•
Hold the MC45 farther away for larger symbols.
•
Move the MC45 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC45 configuration. An application may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.
Bar Code Scanning
CAUTION Do not aim the scan beam at your eyes and others.
1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC45.
Figure 3-1
2. Press and hold the scan button. The laser beam exits from the end of the MC45. Ensure the red scan beam
covers the entire bar code. The Scan/Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights
green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.
Figure 3-2
3. Release the scan button.
Linear Scanning
Correct
Linear Scanner Aiming Pattern
Adaptive Scanning
The MC45 contains the adaptive scanning feature that automatically adjusts the scan beam width for rapid and
easy scanning of bar codes from near contact to more than 200 inches away.
By default the MC45 is set to wide scan beam width. When the user presses the scan button, the MC45 determines
the distance from the bar code. For close bar codes the MC45 sets a wide beam width and for far bar codes it sets
a narrow beam width. The MC45 uses distance, bar code type and material to determine the correct scan beam
width.

Color Digital Camera
MC45 with an integrated color 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.
Digital Camera Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC45.
2. Aim the camera lens on the back of the MC45 at a bar code.
3. Press and hold the scan button. In the image window, align the camera over the barcode.

NOTE The camera decode feature is set by default to automatically decode the bar code when read. This feature
can be programmed to display a red aiming reticle that turns green upon good decode indicating that the bar
code has been successfully decoded and to that the scan button may be released.

Use the MC45 to make phone calls, set up speed dials, keep track of calls, and send text messages. Your wireless
service provider may also provide other services such as voice mail, call forwarding, and caller ID.
Also use the integrated phone to connect to an ISP or work network in order to browse the Web and read e-mail.
Connect to the Internet or work network over High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) using Cellular Line, or
using the modem specified by the mobile operator. For more information, or to customize the MC45 phone by
changing phone settings, see the MC45 Integrator Guide.
Accessing the Phone Dialer
NOTE Dialers vary depending on the carrier, services and the state of the phone. For example, place calls on hold
and use to create conference calls. (See Conference Calling on an MC45 on page 4-17.)
Access the dialer regardless of the program in use. Applications on the MC45 can be in use during a call.

or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on
the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Smith, Bernard”,
“Adams, John”, “Carlson, Eileen”, “Dillon, Albert”, “Childs, Larry”, “Cooper, Robert” and “Parks, Celine”.

The WLAN feature supports the 802.11 a/b/g networking mode.
WLANs allow the MC45 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the MC45 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 MC45 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches,
Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once you have set up the infrastructure to enforce your chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Fusion or
Wireless Zero Config (WZC) software to configure the MC45 to match.
Fusion Overview
The Fusion software contains applications with which to create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies the
security parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its ESSID. The Fusion software
also allows the user to control which profile out of a set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion applications
allow the user to monitor the status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for
troubleshooting.
To access Fusion, tap the Start > > Wireless Launcher.

Chapter 6 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The MC45 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the QC Modem Solution chipset. GPS
technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital
radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used
to determine your location on the earth.
WARNING! When using the MC45 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a
manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It
is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of
all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe
driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC45. Refer to the
application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
MC45 GPS Setup
By default, the MC45 has the following settings:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2. In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to COM6.
3. In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to None.
Multiple programs can simultaneously access GPS data. Each program must use Microsoft GPS API or COM8 to
access the GPS data.
6 - 2 MC45 User Guide
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC45
being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals
may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC45 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC45
suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS
signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS
navigation software:
1. Slide the mini-SIM card holder to the right to unlock.
2. Lift the mini-SIM card holder.
3. Slide the microSD card holder down to unlock.
4. Lift up the microSD card holder.
5. Insert the card with the card contacts facing down and lower the microSD card holder.
6. Slide the microSD card holder up to lock.
7. Lower the mini-SIM card holder.
8. Slide the mini-SIM card holder to the left to lock.
Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS
If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
1. Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
2. Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC45 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software
is muted until you finish the call.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the MC45 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which
can block the MC45 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC45
where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC45 and the GPS satellites to
access information from the satellites.
Assisted GPS
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data
from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically
improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they
would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites and other aiding data that helps the acquisition. With the
A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
The GPS Assist application provides the ability to modify the settings associated with obtaining GPS data.
Ta p Start > Connections > GPS Assist icon.

Chapter 7 Using 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
(802.15.4). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters)
communication and low power consumption.
MC45 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 MC45
as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC45.
The MC45 with Bluetooth technology uses the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. To write an application that uses the
Microsoft 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.
7 - 2 MC45 User Guide
The Bluetooth radio in this MC45 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.
