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 (100 meters (328 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

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the Bluetooth network (piconet) 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 and other 2.4G WLAN 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 number of hopping channels.

• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.

Wireless

communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four

When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b and other 2.4G WLAN high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.

The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 1 device power class. The maximum output power is 9mW and the expected range is 100 meters (328 feet). 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: Use of Bluetooth wireless technology is not recommended when high rate 802.11b operation using 2.4G channel 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 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 long-distance 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 device supports the following Bluetooth services:

• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the device to stream stereo-quality audio to a wireless headset or wireless stereo speakers.

• Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.

• Device ID Profile (DIP) - allows a device to be identified above and beyond the limitations of the Device Class already available in Bluetooth. It enables identification of the manufacturer, product id, product version, and the version of the Device ID specification being met.

• Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Allows the device to be visible to other Bluetooth devices and determines their interaction.

• Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) - Provides profile discovery and description services for Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.

• Hands Free Profile (HFP) - Allow car hands-free kits to communicate with the device and lets the headset control the device.

• Hard Copy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP) - Provides a simple wireless alternative to a cable connection between a device and a printer.

• Headset Profile (HSP) - Provides a simple audio connection between the device and the headset.

• HID Over GATT Profile (HOGP) - Connects human interface devices such as keyboards and mice to a host device.

• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.

• Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server.

• Out of Band (OOB) and Near Field Communications (NFC) - Allows for pairing of a Bluetooth device such as headsets and scanners by touching the devices together (NFC tap to pair).

• Personal Area Network User (PANU) - Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to provide L3 networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU role is supported.

• Radio Frequency (RF) Kill - All RF activities are terminated and device goes into low power mode.

• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer.

• Service Discovery Profile (SDP) - Allows applications running on different Bluetooth-enabled devices to discover each other's existence, and exchange information to determine their characteristics.

Imaging

The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the image.

The device with a 2D imager 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 and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:

• Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan within range for 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 range for the barcodes being scanned.

• Angle: Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the beam does not bounce directly back. 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 app and device configuration. An app may use different scanning

procedures from the one listed above.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

WARNING: Avoid exposing this product to contact with hot oil or other flammable liquids. If such exposure occurs, unplug

the device and clean the product immediately in accordance with these guidelines.

Approved Cleanser Active Ingredients

100% of the active ingredients in any cleaner must consist of one or some combination of the following: isopropyl alcohol, bleach/sodium hypochlorite

•

Use pre-moistened wipes and do not allow liquid cleaner to pool.

When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products always follow the manufacturer’s recommended instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.

Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite the metal surfaces on the device are prone to oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). In the event that these type of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab

after the cleaning step is critical.

1 (see important note below)

Harmful Ingredients

The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact with the device: acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene; carbolic acid and TB-lysoform.

, or mild dish soap.

Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to be harmful to the housing of the device.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

NOTE: If using the tablet in a healthcare environment, do not use PDI Sani-Hands/ PDI Super Sani Cloth Germicidal Wipes

to clean the device.

Device Cleaning Instructions

Do not apply liquid directly to the device. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre-moistened wipes. Do not wrap the device in the cloth or wipe, but gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display window or other places. Allow the unit to air dry before use.

NOTE: For thorough cleaning, it is recommended to first remove all accessory attachments, such as hand straps or cradle

cups, from the mobile device and to clean them separately.

Special Cleaning Notes

The device should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing phthalates, or before hands are washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed.

If products containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device, such as hand sanitizer that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the device to prevent damage to the device.

IMPORTANT: If the battery connectors are exposed to cleaning agents, thoroughly wipe off as much of the chemical as

possible and clean with an alcohol wipe. It is also recommended to install the battery in the terminal prior to cleaning and disinfecting the device to help minimize buildup on the connectors.

When using cleaning/disinfectant agents on the device, it is important to follow the directions prescribed by the cleaning/disinfectant agent manufacturer.

Cleaning Materials Required

• Alcohol wipes

• Lens tissue

• Cotton-tipped applicators

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Can of compressed air with a tube.

Cleaning Frequency

The cleaning frequency is at the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile devices are used and may be cleaned as frequently as required. When dirt is visible, it is recommended to clean the mobile device to avoid build up of particles which make the device more difficult to clean later on.

Cleaning Battery Connectors

To clean the battery connectors:

1. Remove the main battery from the mobile computer.

2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

3. To remove any grease or dirt, rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connectors on the battery and terminal sides. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.

4. Repeat at least three times.

5. Use a dry cotton-tipped applicator and repeat steps 3 and 4. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.

6. Inspect the area for any grease or dirt and repeat the cleaning process if necessary.

CAUTION: After cleaning the battery connectors with bleach-based chemicals, follow the Battery Connector Cleaning

instructions to remove bleach from the connectors.

Cleaning Cradle Connectors

To clean the connectors on a cradle:

1. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle.

2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the applicator back-and-forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.

4. All sides of the connector should also be rubbed with the cotton-tipped applicator.

5. Remove any lint left by the cotton-tipped applicator.

6. If grease and other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use a lint-free cloth and alcohol to remove.

7. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle.

If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and low humidity requires less drying time.

CAUTION: After cleaning the cradle connectors with bleach-based chemicals, follow the Cleaning Cradle Connectors

instructions to remove bleach from the connectors.
