Introduction

The RS309 is a modular, wearable laser scanner that provides the operator with unencumbered bar code scanning capability. The RS309 is used with the WT4070/90 wearable terminal.

The operator wears the RS309 on the back of the hand and uses a thumb-activated trigger to operate the scanner. An interface cable connects the RS309 to the wearable terminal. Power for the RS309 is provided by the wearable terminal.

Installation

The RS309 connects to the wearable terminal and mounts on the back of the hand using the RS309 Glove.

1. Connect the RS309 trigger cable to the back of the RS309.

2. On the wearable terminal, remove the connector cap covering the cable

connector.

3. Connect the other end of the RS309 interface cable to the wearable terminal

cable connector. If the wearable terminal is mounted on the arm, connect the cable to the cable connector closest to the wrist.

4. Mount the RS309 on the RS309 Glove. Refer to the RS309 Glove Installation

Guide for information on mounting the RS309.

5. Slide the trigger strap on the index finger, with the button positioned next to the

thumb, and adjust the strap.

6. Warm boot the wearable terminal.

Using the Scanner

To scan bar codes:

1. Turn on the wearable terminal.

2. Launch a scanning application.

3. Press the scan trigger and aim the RS309 at a bar code. The LED turns red to

indicate the RS309 is on.

4. Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the

bar code.

5. If the decode is successful the LED turns green. The terminal beeps if

programed accordingly.

Scanning Tips

• For larger bar codes, hold the RS309 farther away from the bar code.

• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS309 closer to the bar code.

• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally works. Practice to determine what distances to work within.

• Position the scanner at an angle to the bar code. If the scanner is perpendicular to the bar code being scanned, light can bounce back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.

RS309 Freezer Version

NOTE

The RS309 Freezer version is shipped with desiccant packs in a sealed plastic bag. Be sure to insert the packs provided before using the scanner.

The RS309 Freezer version provides unencumbered bar code scanning capability in cold environments. Two desiccant packs must be inserted inside the scanner to prevent condensation in the exit window.

These packs require replacement; how frequently depends on your environment. Additional packs can be ordered from Zebra.

Inserting the Desiccant Packs

To insert or replace the desiccant packs:

1. Insert a coin into the slit on the round access cover, and turn the coin

counter-clockwise 45°.

Quick Reference Guide 7

2. Remove the cover.

3. If there are existing desiccant packs inside, carefully remove them and discard

properly.

4. Remove the new desiccant packs from the sealed plastic bag.

5. Insert the new packs into the scanner.

6. To replace the access cover, align the knobs on the cover with the notches

inside the desiccant well, and turn the cover clockwise 45° using the coin.
