Charging the Battery

CAUTION Follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 7-2.
Charging the Main Battery
Before using the MC67 for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status light
emitting diode (LED) remains lit (see T able 1-1 on page 1-6 for charge status indications). To charge the MC67,
use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC67, see Chapter 2, Accessories.
The MC67 is equipped with a backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery. When using the MC67 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 40 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. The backup battery retains random access memory (RAM) data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature) when the MC67’s main battery is removed. When the MC67 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 36 hours.
For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures refer to the MC67 Integrator Guide.
USB Charging Cable

Single Slot USB Cradle
Four Slot Charge Only Cradle
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle.
To charge the main battery:
1 - 6 MC67 Integrator Guide
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the MC67 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The MC67 begins charging. The Charging/Battery Status
LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-1 for charging
indications.
The 3600 mAh battery charges in less than six hours.

Indication
MC67 is not inserted correctly in the cradle or connected to a power source. Charger/cradle is not powered.
MC67 is charging.
Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the MC67, the amber LED flashes once if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted.
Charging error, e.g.:
Temperature is too low or too high.
Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).
Charging Spare Batteries
See Chapter 2, Accessories for information on using accessories to change spare batteries.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Note that charging is intelligently controlled by the MC67.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC67 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC67 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-1.

Powering On the MC67

NOTE If during installation of the battery, the battery has significant charge the MC67 turns on.
Press the Power button to turn on the MC67. The splash screen displays for about a minute as the MC67 initializes its flash file system, then the calibration window appears.
Calibrating the Screen
NOTE The Calibration screen can be accessed by pressing Blue key then Backspace key.
On the Personal Information Manager (PIM) keypad, tap > Settings > System > Screen > Align Screen.
To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:
1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the side of the MC67.

NOTE The ideal location for connecting the vehicle cradle power input cable would be an accessory output in
your vehicle’s fuse panel. The vehicle cradle should be added to a circuit with a maximum load capacity
for the cradle and the original circuit. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for identification of the circuit.
If a fused output is not available, the vehicle cradle must be installed with the provided in-line fuse holder and UL Listed 5A fuse. The fuse protects the vehicle from an electrical short on the power line to the cradle. To use the cradle to charge the MC67 and spare battery, when the vehicle’s ignition is off, connect the cradle to unswitched power.
2. Route the power input cable from the cradle’s power port to the connection point for the vehicle’s power
source.
CAUTION The means of routing and securing the power input cable from the cradle through to the vehicle power
source is extremely important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe. To avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges, provide the cable with proper bushings and clamping where it passes through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and excess engine vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing a short between the bare wire and chassis. This can start a fire. To avoid any mishaps, all wiring should be routed away from moving parts, high temperature areas and any contaminants.
3. When using the supplied in-line fuse holder (which must be used if not connecting to vehicle’s fuse panel):
a. Ensure the fuse holder contains a 5A UL Listed slow-blow fuse.
b. Splice the fuse holder to the end of the red V+ wire, as shown above. Make the distance from the fuse
to the power connection point as short as possible.

CHAPTER 4 WAN GSM CONFIGURATION

Introduction

This chapter explains how to verify MC67 service on an Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) wireless network and establish settings.
GSM networks deliver mobile voice and data services, such as Short Message Service (SMS)/Text Messaging, with full roaming capabilities across the world. High-speed Packet Access + (HSPA+) enabled networks offer Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as internet browsing, e-mail on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages, and location-based services.
When using the MC67 as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call forwarding, conference calling, and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
Also use the integrated phone as a modem to connect the MC67 to an ISP or work network. The GSM enabled MC67 can connect to the Internet or work network using Cellular Line, or using the modem specified by the mobile phone service provider.
NOTE Before using an MC67 on a wireless network, first select a provider, establish a voice and data-enabled
service plan, and configure the MC67 (where applicable). Refer to the MC67 User Guide for information
on how to use the phone and services.

MC67 Service Verification

CHAPTER 5 WAN CDMA CONFIGURATION

Introduction

This chapter explains how to configure an MC67ND on a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless network.
CDMA is a form of wireless multiplexing in which data (e.g., Short Message Service) can be sent over multiple frequencies simultaneously, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. In an CDMA system data is broken into packets, each of which are given a unique identifier, so that they can be sent out over multiple frequencies and then re-built in the correct order by the receiver.
When using the MC67ND as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call forwarding, conference calling and caller ID, depending on the type of service.
The integrated phone in the MC67ND can also be used as a modem to connect the MC67ND to an ISP or work network. The MC67ND can connect to the Internet or work network using Cellular Line, or using the modem specified by the mobile phone service provider.
NOTE Before the MC67ND can be used on a CDMA wireless network, a provider must be selected, a voice and
data-enabled service plan must be established and the MC67ND must be properly configured (where applicable).
Refer to the MC67ND User Guide for information on how to use the phone and services.

CHAPTER 6 APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT

Introduction

This chapter describes features in Windows Mobile including new security features, how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the MC67.

Security

The MC67 implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security configuration of the device, and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run with the needed level of trust).

Application Security

Application security controls the applications that can run on the MC67.
Trusted - All applications must be digitally signed by a certificate on the MC67.
Prompted - User is prompted to allow unsigned applications to run.
Open - All applications run.
Developers can include their own certificates and provision the device to “trusted.”

Digital Signatures

Digital signatures provide a way to authenticate the author of EXEs, DLLs, and packages. Digitally signed applications give users confidence that an application comes from where they think it comes from. For example, if an end-user downloads an update package from the internet that is digitally signed with Zebra's software certificate, they are assured that the package is authentic and that it was created by Zebra. By enforcing the use of digital signatures, users can also prevent malicious applications from executing on the MC67. For example, users can provision the MC67 to only execute “trusted” applications (digitally signed).
Zebra ships all Windows Mobile 6 based products in an “open” state, which means all signed and unsigned applications should work. However, customers can still reconfigure their MC67 to operate in the “trusted”
6 - 2 MC67 Integrator Guide
mode. This means that only applications signed with a certificate from the Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store can run.
To support the broadest number of deployments, third-party software developers should perform the following when releasing software for a Windows Mobile 6 devices:
Sign all their EXEs & DLLs with their private key
Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store.
If the software is installed via a .CAB file, developer should also:
Sign the .CAB file with their private key
Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into SPC Certificate Store.
Locking Down a Mobile Computer
Like most configuration options in Windows Mobile, security settings are set via XML provisioning. For example, to enforce the “trusted” model and only allow applications signed with a privileged certificate to run, use the following provisioning document:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type=”SecurityPolicy”>
<!-- Disallow unsigned apps -->
<parm name= “4102” value= “0”/>
<!-- No Prompt -->
<parm name= “4122” value= “1”/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
For more information on various security options, refer to the Security Policy Settings topic in the latest Windows Mobile documentation.
Application Deployment 6 - 3
Installing Certificates
Use XML provisioning to query and delete certificates from certificate stores. To add a new certificate the Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store, use the following sample provisioning document:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “CertificateStore”>
<characteristic type= “Privileged Execution Trust Authorities”>
<characteristic type= “657141E12FA45786F6A57CA6464032D4B3A55475”>
<parm name= “EncodedCertificate” value= “
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. = “/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
To create your own provisioning document with real certificate information:
1. Obtain a certificate from a security provider such as VeriSign.
2. Double-click on the certificate file (.CER) to open it.
3. Click on the Details tab and locate the Thumbprint field.
4. Copy the contents of the Thumbprint field and replace the value in the XML example above.
5. Click the Copy to File… button.
6. Click Next to start the Certificate Export Wizard.
7. Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) and then click Next.
8. Set the File Name to CertOutput.xml and click Next.
9. Click Finish to export the certificate.
10. Open the exported file, CertOutput.xml, in a text editor (i.e., NotePad).
11. Copy the contents of the file (excluding the first line, last line, and CR/LF) and replace the value of the
“EncodedCertificate” parameter in the xml example above.

Device Management Security

You can control access to certain device settings and security levels, such as installing applications and
changing security settings. Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for information on device
management security.

Remote API Security

The Remote API (RAPI) enables applications that run on a desktop to perform actions on a remote device. RAPI provides the ability to manipulate the file system on the remote device, including the creation and deletion of files and directories. By default, Zebra ships with RAPI in the restricted mode. Certain tools, such as
6 - 4 MC67 Integrator Guide
RAPIConfig, may not work properly. Refer to the Windows Mobile V ersion 6 Help file for finding information on
Remote API security policies.

Packaging

NOTE Applications compiled for Windows Mobile 6 are not backward-compatible with previous versions.
Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to deploy and install an application to the MC67. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL
files, as CAB files, then deploy them to devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for
information on CAB files.

Deployment

To install applications onto the MC67, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB file, then load the file onto the MC67 using one of the following options:
ActiveSync
Storage Card
MSP
Image Loader Image (for updating the operating system).
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for information on CAB files.

Installation Using ActiveSync

To install an application package:
1. Connect the MC67 to a host computer using ActiveSync. See Chapter 3, Synchronization for more
information.
2. Locate the package file on the host computer.
3. In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the MC67.
4. Copy the CAB file from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC67.
5. On the MC67, navigate to the \temp directory.
6. Tap on the application CAB file. The application installs on the MC67.

Installation Using Storage Card

To install an application package:
1. Copy the package CAB file to a microSD storage card using an appropriate storage card reader.
2. Install the storage card into the MC67. See Installing a microSD Card on page 1-2 for more information.
3. On the MC67, open File Explorer.
4. Open the Storage Card directory.
Application Deployment 6 - 5
5. Tap the package CAB file. The application installs on the MC67.
MSP
The MSP Client Software is a set of software components that come pre-installed on the MC67. The MSP Client software consists of the following components:
The RD Client provides support for MSP Staging functionality, provides support for the MSP Legacy Staging process, and provides support for backward-compatible legacy MSP 2.x Legacy Staging functionality.
The MSP Agent provides MSP Provisioning functionality and Control functionality when used with MSP Control Edition.
Refer to the Mobility Services Platform User’s Guide for instructions for using the Rapid Deployment and MSP3 Agent clients.

Update Loader Image

Windows Handheld contains an Image Update feature that updates all operating system components. All updates are distributed as update packages. Update packages can contain either partial or complete updates for the operating system. Zebra distributes the update packages on the Support Central Web Site,
http://www.
zebra.com/support
To update an operating system component, copy the update package to the MC67 using one of a variety of transports, including ActiveSync, a microSD card or MSP.
MC67NA Devices with Ortus Display
NOTE The MC67NA Base Model does not use the Ortus display.
If you are intending to install an older operating system version, verify if the device contains an Ortus display.
CAUTION If the display ID on the MC67NA is COM35H3N81, the device Operating System cannot be
downgraded to an OEM version below 03.46.36. If you try to downgrade, a message appears on the display warning you that you should not continue. If you continue, the device will become inoperable.

3. Locate the update loader package file on the host computer and un-compress the file into a separate
directory.
ActiveSync
To install an update loader package using ActiveSync:
1. Connect the MC67 to a host computer using ActiveSync. See Chapter 3, Synchronization for more
information.
2. In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the MC67.
3. Copy all the update loader package files from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC67.
4. On the MC67, navigate to the \temp directory.
5. Tap on the update loader file, STARTUPDLDR.EXE. The Update Loader application installs the update
loader package on the MC67.
A progress bar displays until the update completes.
6. The MC67 re-boots.
7. The calibration screen appears.
microSD Card
To install an update loader package using a microSD card:
1. Copy all the update loader package files to the root directory of a microSD card.
2. Install the microSD card into the MC67. See Installing a microSD Card on page 1-2 for installation
instructions.
3. Connect the MC67 to AC power. See Chapter 2, Accessories.
4. Perform a cold boot.
5. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold
the left scan button.
6. The Update Loader application looks for the update loader file in the root directory of the microSD card.
When it finds the file, it loads the update loader package onto the MC67. A progress bar displays until the update completes.
7. The MC67 re-boots.
8. The calibration screen appears.

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on an MC67, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the MC67, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC67. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating success or failure.
XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the MC67 (i.e., registry and file system). However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have
6 - 8 MC67 Integrator Guide
certain privileges (roles). Some registry keys require you to simply be an Authenticated User, while other registry keys require you to be a Manager. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 6.
For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file and the Windows Mobile 6 SDK for instructions and sample test certificates.

Creating an XML Provisioning File

To create a .cpf file:
1. Create a valid provisioning XML file named _setup.xml using an XML editor or the tools supplied with
Visual Studio 2005. (For example, use the SampleReg.xml sample created in the RegMerge on page 6-8
section and rename it _setup.xml.) Ensure the file contains the required parameters for the operation.
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for information.
2. In the Windows Mobile 6 tools directory on the desktop computer (typically \Program Files\Windows CE
Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC SDK\Tools), run the Makecab.exe utility, using the following syntax to create a .cpf file from the _setup.xml file:
MakeCab.exe /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml myOutCpf
NOTE COMPRESS=OFF is required for backward compatibility with Pocket PC.
3. Optionally, use the Authenticode tools to sign the .cpf file.
4. Tap the filename to install.
5. Certain applications and settings require a reset to take affect. In these cases, reset the MC67. Refer to the
Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for more information.

XML Provisioning vs. RegMerge and Copy File

Prior to Windows Mobile 5.0, Zebra used two drivers (RegMerge and CopyFiles) to update the registry and to copy files during a reset. With Windows Mobile 6, Zebra recommends using XML provisioning instead. RegMerge and CopyFiles are supported for backward compatibility but Zebra may eliminate support in the future. The following sections provide examples of how RegMerge and CopyFiles were used, and how to perform the same function using XML provisioning.
RegMerge
RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows updating the registry during a clean boot. RegMerge runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders (i.e., \Application) during a clean boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.
The following example uses RegMerge to set a registry key:
SampleReg.reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight]
“BacklightIntensity”=dword:00000036
The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:
Application Deployment 6 - 9
SampleReg.xml
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “Registry”>
<characteristic type= “HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight”>
<parm name= “BacklightIntensity” value= “54” datatype= “integer” />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
CopyFiles
CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a clean boot. During a clean boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the Application FFS partition. These files are text files containing the source and destination for the desired files to copy, separated by “>”.
The following example uses CopyFiles to copy a file from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder:
SampleCpy.cpy
The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:
SampleCpy.xml

Storage

\Application\example.txt > \Windows\example.txt
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “FileOperation”>
<characteristic type= “\Windows” translation= “filesystem”>
<characteristic type= “MakeDir”/>
<characteristic type= “example.txt” translation= “fileystem”>
<characteristic type= “Copy”>
<parm name= “Source” value= “\Application\example.txt” translation= “filesystem”/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Mobile 6 contains three types of file storage:
Random Access Memory (RAM)
Persistent Storage
Application folder.
6 - 10 MC67 Integrator Guide

Random Access Memory

Executing programs use RAM to store data. Data stored in RAM is lost upon a warm boot. RAM also included
a volatile file storage area called Cache Disk.
Volatile File Storage (Cache Disk)
Windows Mobile 6 memory architecture uses persistent storage for all files, registry settings, and database objects to ensure data is retained even after a power failure. Persistent storage is implemented using Flash memory technology which is generally slower than volatile RAM memory. In certain situations the speed of the operation is more important than the integrity of the data. For these situations, Zebra has provided a small
volatile File Storage volume, accessed as the Cache Disk folder. Disk operations to the Cache Disk folder are
much faster than to any of the persistent storage volumes, but data is lost across warm boots and power
interruptions. Note that a backup battery powers RAM memory, including the Cache Disk, when you remove
the main battery for a short period of time.
The MC67 uses the Cache Disk for temporary data that can be restored from other sources, for example, for
temporarily “caching” HTML web pages by a browser or generating formatted files to send to a printer. Both situations benefit from the increased speed of the cache disk, but you can restore the data if needed.
DO NOT use the Cache Disk as a method to improve application performance. Analyze applications that
perform slower in persistent storage to optimize disk access. Common areas for optimization include minimizing the number of reads and writes to a file, removing unneeded debug logging, and minimizing file flushing or closing files.

Persistent Storage

Windows Mobile 6 protects all data and applications from power-related loss. Because Windows Mobile 6 mounts the entire file system and registry in persistent storage (rather than using RAM), MC67 devices provide a reliable storage platform even in the absence of battery power.
Persistent storage provides application developers with a reliable storage system available through the standard file system and registry APIs. Persistent storage is optimized for large reads and writes; therefore, applications reading and writing data in large chunks tend to outperform those applications reading and writing small blocks of data. Data in persistent storage is lost upon a reset.
Persistent storage contains all the directories under the root directory except for Application, Cache Disk, and Storage Card (if a storage card is installed). Persistent storage is approximately 1.1 GB (formatted).

Application Folder

The Application folder is a super-persistent storage that is persistent even after a reset. Accessing data in the Application folder is slower than accessing persistent storage. The Application folder is used for deployment and device-unique data. For example, network profiles can be stored in the Application folder so that connection to the network is available after a reset. The Application folder is approximately 510 MB (formatted).

Enterprise Mobility Developer Kits

The Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) family of products allows you to write applications that take advantage of the capture, move and manage capabilities of the MC67. Go to the Support Central (
http://www.
zebra.com/support) to download the appropriate developer kit.
