mAh (2X) and 2740 mAh (1X).
Use one of the spare battery chargers to charge the main battery (out of the mobile computer) or one of the
cradles to charge the main battery while it is installed in the mobile computer.
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, fully charge the main battery until the green Charge
LED indicator remains lit and charge the battery using a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power
supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC3300x, see Accessories.
Getting Started
The MC3300x retains data in memory for at least five minutes when the mobile computer’s main battery is
removed.
When the main battery reaches a critical battery level state (6%), the battery retains data in memory for at
least 15 hours.
Batteries must be charged within the 0° to +40° C (32° to 104° F) ambient temperature range.
The following accessories can be used to charge batteries:
NOTE: It is safe to leave the mobile computer and/or batteries on the charger for prolong durations. Both
the spare and terminal-based chargers stop charging when they detect that the battery is fully charged.
Upon stopping, the batteries will slowly self-discharge, and if left on the charger long enough, will
eventually fall to a point where the charger re-initiates a charge until the batteries are fully charged again.
To charge the mobile computer using the cradles:
1. Insert the mobile computer into a cradle. See Accessories for accessory setup.
29
Getting Started
2. The mobile computer starts to charge automatically. The Charge LED Indicator indicates the charge
status. See the table below for charging indications.
To charge the mobile computer using the cables:
1. Connect the MC3300x Communication/Charge Cable to the appropriate power source and connect to
the mobile computer. See Accessories for accessory setup.
2. The mobile computer starts to charge automatically. The Charge LED Indicator indicates the charge
status.
NOTE: To function properly, ensure that the MC3300x hand strap, if attached, does not interfere with the
charging contacts when the MC3300x is inserted into a charging cradle or cable.

•RS507/RS507X Bluetooth Hands-free imager
•DS2278 Digital Barcode Scanner
•DS3678 Digital Barcode Scanner
•LI3678 Linear Scanner.
Laser Scanner
The device with a laser scanner has the following features:
•Reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1D code
types.
•Intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Integrated Imager
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features:
•Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, Digimarc, and 2D matrix code types.
•Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in memory,
and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode
by pressing the Scan button.
•Decode mode - The device 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.
72
Data Capture
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
•Pick List mode - Selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the device’s field of
view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this feature for pick lists
containing multiple barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode
type (either 1D or 2D).
NOTE: To enable Basic MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API
command.
•Basic MultiBarcode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode a specific number of
unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as long as the user holds the
scan button, or until it decodes all the barcodes. Available on integrated SE4720, SE4770, or SE4850
imagers only.
•The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 100).
•If there are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the duplicate barcodes
is decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has two duplicate barcodes plus another two
different barcodes, a maximum of three barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be
ignored as a duplicate.
•Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together. For example, if the
specified quantity for a Basic MultiBarcode scan is four, two barcodes can be symbology type Code
128 and the other two can be symbology type Code 39.
•If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in view of the device, the device will not
decode any data until the device is moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If
the device field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified quantity, the
device randomly decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of unique barcodes is reached. For
example, if the count is set to two and eight barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the
first two unique barcodes it sees, returning the data in random order.
•Basic MultiBarcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.

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.
75
•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.

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 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.
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.
99
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.
•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.
Wireless
Security
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power
is 2.5 mW and the expected range is 10 m (32.8 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult
to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether in 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.
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.
