Preparing the Tablet for First Use
The following sections explain how to insert a SIM card and power up the tablet.
Inserting a SIM Card
CAUTION: Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account with
a cellular network provider, and a SIM card in your tablet for mobile broadband access. This SIM card
works like the SIM card in your cell phone that connects you to a network provider.
The SIM card holder accommodates two Nano SIM (4FF) cards, for use with the mobile broadband option.
If inserting only one SIM card, place it in the holder labeled SIM1. If inserting two SIM cards, put the card
for the primary carrier in SIM1 and the card for the secondary carrier in SIM2.
1. Turn off the tablet.
2. If you have already put the battery in the tablet, remove it.
The SIM card(s) fit into a tray in the battery bay.
3. Find and gently remove the SIM holder tray so the slot is empty.
4. Place the SIM card into the holder so that it is close to flush with the holder. Make sure that the SIM
contacts (gold) are facing down and the notched corner is on the right side as shown in this drawing
and in the graphic inside the battery bay of the tablet.
5. Carefully align the SIM holder with the opening of the SIM holder connector. Gently slide the SIM holder
tray into the connector until it stops.
22
Install the battery in the tablet. See Replacing the Battery on page 27.
6.
Powering Up the Tablet
This section explains installing the battery, connecting the tablet to external power, and powering up the
tablet.
1. If you have not yet inserted the battery, remove it from the packaging. On the back of the tablet, insert
the bottom of the battery into the bay. Tilt the tray as shown and press it down until it clicks securely into
place.
2. The external power has two parts: the part that plugs into the power source and the adapter with a cord
that plugs into your tablet. Join the two parts by plugging the power cord into the adapter to form one
long cord.
Getting Started
To connect external power to the tablet, open the port door to expose the power adapter port. Plug the AC
adapter into this port on your tablet.
1
1 Power adapter port.
1. Plug the power cord into an outlet.
The battery charging indicator on the front of the L10 tablet blinks amber to indicate that the battery is
charging. It is solid green when fully charged.
2. Press and release the oval Power button in the center of the right side of the tablet to turn it on.
1
1 Power button
3. Keep the tablet on AC power until the battery is fully charged. However, you don’t have to wait until the
tablet is fully charged to turn it on. The L10 will charge while you use it.
23
Pens for the L10 Tablets
All L10 tablets support touch input with your finger. In addition, a pen or stylus is provided with your tablet,
and is compatible with the screen configuration that you order. Many people use a pen for more
convenience or precision. The pen is particularly effective for precise data entry and navigation.
The XSLATE and XBOOK tablets come with short pens that fit into the pen holder on these devices. The
XPAD tablet includes a longer, thicker pen. If you want a longer pen for the XSLATE or XBOOK tablet, a
handle accessory can be ordered with the longer pen.
Capacitive Pens
Capacitive pens work with the tablet’s touchscreen and are sometimes called passive pens. The short
capacitive pen does not need a battery. The long capacitive pen uses a AAAA battery. These two pens do
not require a pen digitizer in the tablet. They work with the tablet’s touchscreen directly.
Figure 11 Short Capacitive Pen
Figure 12 Long Capacitive ePen with Battery
Getting Started
Active Digitizer Pens
If the tablet is ordered with an active Wacom digitizer built in to the screen, you will receive one of the two
pens pictured below. These Wacom-compatible pens allow for a large range of pressure sensitivity, tilt
detection, and hover capability. Hover lets you see where the pen is pointing before the tip touches the
display. These pens are frequently called active pens. These active pens use all three modes of the touch
screen:
• Finger and Wet
• Finger and Glove
• Finger and Passive Stylus (default)

Getting Started
Optional Setup Tasks
Attaching the Pen Tether
The pen comes with a tether so that you can attach it to your tablet to avoid misplacing it.
1. Slip one end of the tether through the hole at the end of the pen, and pull the pen through the loop until
it is tight.
2. Slip the other end of the tether through the attach point on the tablet, then pull the pen through the loop
until it is tight.
Connecting the Tablet to an External Monitor
There is no dedicated port for an external monitor on the L10 tablet. The tablet has a USB Type-C
connector which includes a DisplayPort output capability. You need a dongle that supports USB Type-C
DisplayPort and converts it to the port necessary to attach the external monitor, which can have one or
more of the following ports: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA.
For instance, to connect a monitor with an HDMI port to your tablet, you need a USB Type-C DisplayPort to
HDMI output dongle.
NOTE: Some dongles use USB to Video conversion and these use software to enable the external display
over USB interface. Care must be taken to ensure the USB Type-C dongle specifically supports USB
Type-C DisplayPort input. Look for a dongle that states it is plug-n-play and that no software or drivers are
required.
Back of Battery Charge Indicators
You can check the charge of a battery when it is out of the tablet by pressing the battery check button on
the back side.
IMPORTANT: If you remove the battery while the tablet is running, you only have one minute to replace it
to keep the tablet running. If you need to remove it for a longer period, be sure to save your files. Then shut
down or plug in to a power source.
25

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from
other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection,
web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request
according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is
validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting
the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring
that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral
part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth 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 (10 m (32.8 ft))
communication and low power consumption.
77
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks)
with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the
healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption
and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
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.
Wireless
Security
• 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 enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b
operation is required.
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.

Near Field Communications
Wireless
NFC/HF RFID is a short-range wireless connectivity technology standard that enables secure transaction
between a reader and a contactless smartcard. The technology is based on ISO/IEC 14443 type A and B
(proximity), ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity), and FeliCa standards, using the HF 13.56 MHz unlicensed band.
The device supports the following operating modes:
• Reader mode
• Peer-to-Peer communication
• Card Emulation mode.
Using NFC, the device can:
• Read contactless cards such as contactless tickets, ID cards and ePassport.
• Read and write information to contactless cards such as SmartPosters and tickets, as well as devices
with NFC interface such as vending machines.
• Read information from supported medical sensors.
• Pair with supported Bluetooth devices such as printers , ring scanners (ex. RS6000), and headsets (ex.
HS3100).
• Exchange data with another NFC device.
• Emulate contactless card such as payment, or ticket.
The device NFC antenna is positioned to read NFC cards from the top of the device while the device is
being held.
Reading NFC Cards
Read contactless cards using NFC.
1. Launch an NFC enabled application.
2. Move the card to the NFC antenna on the back of the device.
3. Hold the card steadily until the transaction is complete (usually indicated by the application).

Data Capture
The L10 supports data capture using the following devices:
• Internal scanner (XPAD model only, built-in)
• RS507x Hands-free Imager
• RS5100 Ring Scanner
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• DS3578 Bluetooth Scanner
• DS3608 USB Scanner.
Operational Modes
The imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing the Scan
button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its
field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a
barcode.
NOTE: To enable picklist mode, configure this mode in DataWedge or in an application using an API
command. The picklist mode is dependent upon the scanner. Refer to the scanner user guide for more
information.
• Picklist Mode: This mode lets you selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the
scanner’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode
to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for picklists containing multiple barcodes and
manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).
Scanning Considerations
Scanning consists of aim, scan, and decode. Scanning performance can be optimized by considering the
range and the scanning angle.
84
Range
Angle
Data Capture
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range (minimum and maximum distances
from the barcode). This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings 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. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules.
The best way to specify the appropriate working range per barcode density is through a chart called a
decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum
element widths of barcode symbols.
The scan angle is important for optimizing decode performance. When laser beams reflect directly back
into the scanner from the barcode, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.
To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But 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.
Imaging
NOTE: Contact the Zebra Global Customer Support if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of
properly printed barcodes should be quick and effortless.
The imagers have the following features:
• Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear,
postal, PDF417, and 2-D matrix code types.
• The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image
in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the
image.
