Getting Started 1 - 3
To install the battery:
1. Insert the battery into the battery well with the battery notches facing down and the release latch facing up.
Figure 1-2
2. Rotate the battery into the battery well until it snaps into place. If the battery is charged, the HC1 turns on.
3. Align the battery door with the housing.

Charging the HC1
CAUTION Do not place on head while charging.
CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page
The battery can be charged before insertion into the HC1 or after it is installed. Use the Four-slot Battery
Charger to charge the battery (out of the HC1) or the power module to charge the battery while it is installed in
the HC1.
Before using the HC1 for the first time, fully charge the
on page 1-7 for charge status indications). The 1950 mAh battery fully charges in less than four hours and the
4800 mAh battery fully charges in less than eight hours.
The HC1 is equipped with a backup battery which automatica
When using the HC1 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 30 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. When the HC1 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup
battery retains clock data for at least 39 hours.

Determining Dominant Eye
Eye dominance is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. Most people are right-eye
dominant; however in a small portion of the population neither eye is dominant. It is best to use your dominant
eye when viewing the display.
To determine which eye is dominant:
1. Place hands together as shown forming a triangle.
Figure 1-8
2. Keeping both eyes open, focus on any distant object.
3. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your right eye. If the object is still in the
triangle, you are left eye dominant.
4. Maintaining focus on the object centered in the triangle, close your left eye. If the object is still in the
triangle, you are right eye dominant.
5. If the object is in the triangle with either eye then you are dominant eye neutral.
6. Repeat test to confirm.
Dominant Eye Test
Re-positioning the Computer/Optical Pod Assembly
From the factory, the HC1 is configured for left eye dominant. To switch the optical pod position:
1. If not already removed, press the release latches to remove the Firm Goods Assembly from the
Computer/Optical Pod Assembly.

NOTE Keyboard access is application dependent.
Throughout the use and configuration of the HC1, there are times when text or numbers are required. In these
events, menus of pre-configured options are not applicable. To allow for this the HC1 can display a number of
virtual keyboards that allow text or numbers to be entered.
NOTE All virtual keyboards allow direct typed input from a real keyboard. For example, a Bluetooth keyboard can
be connected and used, a USB keyboard can be connect and used and remote control software allows a
computer keyboard to be used with the HC1.
Alpha-Numeric Keyboard
The Alpha-Numeric keyboard allows any text or number combination to be entered via voice. To enter single
text characters, the radio-alphabet code must be spoken, for example “alpha.” The radio code to speak is
shown beneath each virtual key.
Numbers are entered by speaking the number, for example “one.”

CHAPTER 7 MY TELEPHONE CONTROLS
Introduction
The HC1 supports the standard Hands-Free Bluetooth profile for connecting to mobile phones. When the HC1
is connected using Hands-Free profile to a mobile phone it becomes a headset. The incoming audio from a
phone call can be heard through the HC1 speaker or optional Ear Buds, and speaking into the HC1 causes the
spoken audio to be injected into the phone call conversation. While the Bluetooth connection is active, all other
features of the HC1 are still active, including the speech recognizer. The HC1 can be used to field a mobile
phone call, while at the same time navigating through documents on the HC1 using the standard speech
commands.
Figure 7-1
In order to make a new call, the HC1 must be paired with a hand-free mobile phone. See Pairing to a Bluetooth
Device on page 6-4 for more information.

At any time say “My Telephone Controls” to bring the Call In Progress window back and to terminate the
call or change the volume.
5. Say “Terminate Call” to end the call.
Answering a Call
Once connected, the mobile device can accept incoming calls and route the audio directly to the HC1. If the
mobile device receives an incoming call, the following screen displays and a ringing tone is heard by the HC1
user.

Introduction
The HC1offers the following data capture options:
•
optional CS3070 Bluetooth laser scanner.
•
optional RS507 Hands-free scanner.
CS3070 Bluetooth Laser Scanner
The CS3070 Bluetooth laser scanner captures bar code data, and transmits it to the HC1 via Bluetooth. The
scanner supports Bluetooth human interface device (HID) connection to the HC1 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.
