microSD Card
microSD Card
Install SD Card
The Secure Device (SD) card provides secondary non-volatile storage (the flash memory is slower than RAM).
The SD card holder is located under the battery.
CAUTION Follow proper Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid damaging the microSD card.
Proper ESD precautions include, but are not limited to, working on an ESD mat and ensuring that the
operator is properly grounded.
Do not use the microSD card slot for any other accessories.
NOTE Select microSD cards with environmental and/or the write cycle performance specifications that meet or
exceed the application requirements.
To insert the microSD card:
1. Place the MC21XX face-down on surface.
2. Slide the card holder door down to unlock.
3. Lift the microSD card holder door.
Figure 1-1
4. Position the microSD card, with the contacts facing down, into the microSD holder.
5. Close microSD card door.
6. Slide the card holder up to lock.

Getting Started 1 - 3
Install Main Battery
If the main battery is charged, the MC21XX can be used immediately. If the main battery is not charged, see
Battery Charging on page 1-3. To remove the main battery, see Main Battery Removal on page 1-6.
Insert the battery into the slot, bottom first and press the battery gently into the slot. The battery clip locks the
battery into place.
Figure 1-3
Insert Battery
Battery Charging
CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page
The main battery can be charged before insertion into the MC21XX or after it is installed. Use the Four-slot
Battery Charger to charge the main battery (out of the MC21XX) or the supplied power supply to charge the
main battery while it is installed in the MC21XX.
Before using the MC21XX for the first time, fully charge the main battery until the LED Indicator remains lit (see
Table 1-1 on page 1-4 for charge status indications). The battery fully charges in less than four hours.
The MC21XX is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery
whether or not the MC21XX is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery retains data in
memory for at least 30 minutes when the MC21XX’s main battery is removed or fully discharged. When the
MC21XX is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has fully discharged, the memory backup
battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the main battery from the MC21XX for
15 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is removed from the
MC21XX or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory backup battery completely discharges in several
hours.
5-2.
When the main battery reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the
backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.

of time. On the MC2180 the Calibration screen appears.
Getting Started 1 - 5
If the MC21XX does not power on, see Resetting the MC21XX on page 1-7.
Calibration Screen
NOTE MC2180 only.
Use the Calibration screen to align the touch screen:
1. Remove the mini stylus from the back of the MC2180.
2. Carefully press and briefly hold the stylus tip on the center of the Calibration screen target. Repeat the
procedure as the target moves and stops at different locations on the screen. This enters the new
calibration settings.
Figure 1-5
3. Once all of the new calibration settings are input, tap the screen or press the ENTER button to save the
new calibration settings. Press

Main Battery Removal
CAUTION When removing the battery, follow the Safe Battery Swap procedures below otherwise loss of data or
system corruption may occur. An error message, Improper Shutdown, displays on the screen
indicating that the MC21XX was not shutdown properly.
When in Safe Battery Swap mode, the MC21XX goes into a low power suspend state. All wakeup are
disabled.
To remove the main battery from an MC21XX:
1. If the MC21XX is in suspend mode, press the Power button to wake the MC21XX.
2. Press the Power button to place the MC21XX in suspend mode.
3. On the MC2180, tap Safe Battery Swap.
On the MC2100, using the navigation pad, scroll down to Safe Battery Swap. Press the Enter key.
4. Wait for the LED Indicator to turn red and then turn off.
5. Using thumbs, push the two battery latches up. The battery ejects slightly.
Figure 1-6
6. Remove the battery from the MC21XX.
Release Latches
CAUTION Replace the new battery within five minutes to prevent loss of data.
Safe System Shutdown/Re-boot
To ensure that data is not lost or that system corruption does not occurs, the user must follow the Safe Battery
Swap procedure when replacing the battery. See Main Battery Removal on page 1-6. If the Safe battery Swap
procedure is not followed, a Improper Shutdown message appears on the screen.
Getting Started 1 - 7
Carefully press and briefly hold stylus
on the center of the target.
Repeat as the target movies around
the screen.
Press the Esc key to cancel.
Figure 1-7
Improper Shutdown Message
If the MC21XX stops responding, first perform a warm boot. A warm boot maintains radio status and registry
settings. Do not perform a cold boot unless necessary.
Performing a cold boot resets the MC21XX to factory defaults and loss of all registry settings.
To perform a warm boot, press and hold the Power button for five seconds.
Resetting the MC21XX
If the MC21XX stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A
warm boot restarts the MC21XX by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the MC21XX, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it
returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. If the MC21XX still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot:
1. Press the Power button for five seconds. As soon as the MC21XX starts to boot release the Power button.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the MC21XX and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Never perform a
cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.
To perform a cold boot:
CAUTION Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
CAUTION Cold boot resets the MC21XX, to the default settings. All added applications and all stored data are
removed. Do not cold boot without support desk approval.
When removing the battery, follow the Safe Battery Swap procedures below otherwise loss of data or
system corruption may occur. An error message, Improper Shutdown, displays on the screen
indicating that the MC21XX was not shutdown properly.
1 - 8 MC21XX Series Integrator Guide
1. If the MC21XX is in suspend mode, press the Power button to wake the MC21XX.
2. Press the Power button to place the MC21XX in suspend mode.
3. On the MC2180, tap Safe Battery Swap.
On the MC2100, using the navigation pad, scroll down to Safe Battery Swap. Press the Enter key.
4. Wait for the LED Indicator to turn red and then turn off.
5. Simultaneously press and then release the 1, 9 and Power keys. As the MC21XX initializes, the splash
window appears.
Performing a Clean Boot
A clean boot resets the MC21XX to the factory default settings. All data in the Application folder is retained.
Download the Cleaner package file from the Support Central web site, http://www.zebra.com/support and
install on the MC21XX. The Cleaner package contains two sets of files. One set cleans the Platform folder and
the other cleans the Application folder.

progress bar displays until the update completes.
11. When complete, the MC21XX re-boots.
Waking the MC21XX
The wakeup conditions define what actions wake up the MC21XX after it has gone into suspend mode. The
MC21XX can go into suspend mode by either pressing the Power button or automatically by Control Panel
time-out settings. These settings are configurable and the factory default settings are shown in Table 1-2.
