LED Indications
Power Up
To power up the RFD2000 RFID Sled when it is powered off, press the trigger continuously for 1.3 seconds. The
LED blinks amber once when RFD2000 RFID Sled begins to boot up.
Recovery Mode
To place the RFD2000 RFID Sled in Recovery Mode, press the trigger continuously for 20 seconds when it is
powered off. The LED remains solid red to indicate the RFD2000 RFID Sled is in Recover Mode.
Firmware Update
When the RFD2000 RFID Sled firmware update is in progress, the LED blinks green.
Battery Error
When an invalid battery is used with the RFD2000 RFID Sled, the LED blinks red. Ensure to only use the battery
manufactured for use with the RFD2000.
Battery End of Life
The Battery End of Life indication is disabled by default. When enabled the LED indication for battery health
percentage is as follows:
• Green/Red alternate blinking when end of life percentage is 99%-51%
• Amber/Red alternate blinking when end of life percentage is 21%-50%
• Red blinking when remaining end of life percentage is 0%-20%.
If the battery health percentage falls below the configurable threshold (default is 60%), the battery end of life
indication replaces the battery charge status.

Charging
Single Slot Charging Cradle
Five Slot Charging Cradle
Before using the RFD2000 for the first time, fully charge the battery by placing it in the charging cradle until the
LED Power/Charging Indicator turns solid green (see LED Definitions on page 12 for charge status indications).
The RFD2000 RFID Sled and TC20 Mobile Computer may be charged in the charging cradle individually or
attached together.
When a RFD2000 RFID Sled is removed from a charging cradle, it is automatically powered On. If a reader is not
used for a duration of thirty minutes, the reader enters Off mode. Pressing the handle trigger for 1.3 seconds turns
the reader back On.

Battery Management
To check the charge status of the main battery, run the appropriate Zebra RFID Mobile application and select
Settings > Battery. To check the battery status on the LEDs, remove the RFD2000 RFID Sled from the cradle. The
battery charge status is displayed for 4 seconds.
In the Zebra RFID Mobile application, battery status indicates that the battery is either charging or discharging and
the battery level indicates the battery charge (as a percentage of fully charged). If using the partner application.
Refer to the partner application documentation.
Low Battery Notification
By default, the LED battery charge status indication lasts 4 seconds when the RFD2000 RFID Sled is removed
from the cradle. The indication is amber when the battery state of charge is in the range of 21-50%. The indication
is red when the battery state of charge is in the range 0-20%.
The TC20 mobile device sounds four short beeps when the battery charge status is below 10%.
Battery Optimization
The RFD2000 supports intelligent performance and battery optimizations for your application needs. An API is
available to enable this setting. Refer to the RFD2000 RFID Developer Guide (p/n MN-003158-xx) for more
information.

Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android
Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android
This application runs on Android mobile devices and demonstrates RFD2000 capability and tag operation
functionality.
The application allows for navigating to all screens whether or not the device is connected to the RFD2000 reader.
The Settings screens display the application defaults when there is no connection to the reader. When not
connected, an attempt to perform any operation (Rapid Read, Inventory, Locate tag, Access Operations, Save
Configuration, Battery Status) displays No Active Connection with Reader.
Navigate to all screens when the inventory/locate operation is in progress. When the operation is in progress, the
device displays Operation in Progress if additional operations are initiated.
Using the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android
To use this application for RFID operations:
1. Ensure the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android is installed on the Android mobile device.
2. Launch the Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android on the mobile device.
3. Return to the Home screen and select Settings > Antenna. Power Level is set to 27.0 dBm by default. Japan
units are set to a different default power level depending on the SKU type.
4. Before using the device and if the region is not set, set the region in which the device is operating. To set the
region, open the application and select Settings > Regulatory (see Regulatory on page 35).
21
Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android
Connecting TC20 to the RFD2000
1. Launch the demo application manually.
2. Select the RFD2000 check box from the Readers List in Settings. The application automatically connects with
the device.
When the connection is successful, the current screen populates with the values from the RFD2000.
Figure 8 Settings - Reader List / Connection Screen
Disconnecting the RFD2000
When the RFD2000 is removed from the TC20, the application disconnects. Another option to disconnect, go to

The Rapid Read and Inventory screens display the following data (see Inventory on page 25).
• Total tag count
• Read time (mm:ss)
• Tag read rate (tags/sec)
• Unique tag count (displays in the center of screen).
Rapid Read and Inventory screens are two different views of the inventory operation on the reader. The Start/Stop
functionality can be used interchangeably on both screens. For example, when operation starts on the Rapid Read
screen and you navigate to the Inventory screen, the button available on the Inventory screen is Stop. The same
is true when the operation starts on the Inventory screen. During the rapid read process, you can navigate to the
Inventory screen to view tag details along with tag counts for each tag. The statistics displayed are maintained on
the Rapid Read and Inventory screens regardless of the screen used to start the process.
Select Start to start the rapid read inventory operation. Select Stop to stop inventory operation.
NOTE: The scan trigger on the RFD2000 can also start and stop the inventory operation. Press the trigger to
start, and press again to stop.
Moving to another screen does not halt the operation. However, attempting to make changes or perform another
operation while rapid read is in process results in an error.
