Data Capture
The MC75 offers three types of data capture options:
•
Linear scanning
•
Imaging
•
Digital camera.
NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC75. A sample scanning
application can be downloaded from the Zebra Support site at http://www.zebra.com/support.
Linear Scanning
MC75 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
MC75 with an integrated imager have the following features:
•
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D 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 pictu
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
MC75 with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pulling the
trigger or pressing the Scan button.
•
Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC75 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the trigger, or until it decodes a bar code.
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the web site at
http://www.zebra.com/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.
•
Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the MC75’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode
only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or
transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
•
Range
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular wo

scanned.
•
Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting qu

Chapter 3 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The MC75 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. GPS technology is
based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals.
These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine
your location on the earth.
WARNING! When using the MC75 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a
manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It
is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of
all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe
driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or ins
application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
MC75 GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled MC75 uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically manages
access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.
By default, the MC75 has the following Settings:
1.Ta p Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2.In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to None.
3.In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to COM8.
talling any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC75. Refer to the
3 - 2MC75 User Guide
To access the GPS receiver from multiple programs simultaneously, the user can either use the Microsoft GPS API
or change the GPS program port setting and access the GPS program port in the multiplexed way.
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of
the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC75 being unable to compute
the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or
unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC75 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC75

suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS
signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.
1.Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the MC75.
2.Insert the microSD card into the slot.
3.Replace the Memory Card Cover.
Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS
If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
1.Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
2.Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC75 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software
is muted until you finish the call.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the MC75 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which
can block the MC75 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC75
where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC75 and the GPS satellites to
access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the us
er to track their position anywhere on the earth.
Assisted GPS
NOTE On devices with OEM version 03.38.0004, to configure the MC75 to obtain GPS data from a SUPL server see
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data
from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically

Using GPS Navigation3 - 3
improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they
would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster
and more reliably.
A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the MC75 to communicate with a
location server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the MC75.
3 - 4MC75 User Guide
Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped 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 (30 feet/10 meters)
communication and low power consumption.
MC75s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the MC75
as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC75.
Zebra mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program Bluetooth
within the MC75 refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.
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 Zebra mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
4 - 2MC75 User Guide
The Bluetooth radio in this MC75 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW
and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain
due to power and device differences, and whether one measures 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.
Security
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 needed 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 accomplishe
devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the
initialization key. The PIN number 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 number or passkey that is 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 don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer
•
Implement application-level security.

Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
NOTE On devices with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, turn the Bluetooth radio on or off using the Wireless Manager. Tap the
Status bar and select the Connectivity icon. Tap Wireless Manager.
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the
radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the MC75. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange
information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
