CHAPTER 1GETTING STARTED
Introduction
The SB1 is a brand new category of mobile device that employers can give to every retail associate. This truly
smart badge is full of the features every associate needs to deliver the best customer experience, with the
connectivity needed to keep them productive, every minute of every day. The badge each associate wears can
allow associates to: access a personalized task list; accept tasks and acknowledge completion; scan a bar
code to check price and inventory; and connect via push-to-talk (PTT) with other workers carrying practically
any other PTT-enabled mobile device in use in the store. The result is a powerful always-connected workforce
that can always access the people and information they need to maximize productivity and exceed customers’
expectations on every visit.
This chapter describes the SB1 physical characteristics, how to charge the SB1.
Unpacking the SB1
Carefully remove all protective material from around the SB1 and save the shipping container for later storage
and shipping. Verify that the equipment listed below is included:
•
SB1 (single unit or multi-unit)
•
Regulatory Guide.
Inspect the equipment for damage. If any equipment is missing or damaged, contact the Zebra Global

Introduction
The SB1 contains a bar code reader with combined aimer and illumination for reading bar code data. The
reader uses advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, and executes state-of-the-art
software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Scanning Considerations
Scanning consists of; aim, scan and decode. Scanning performance can be optimized by considering the
range.
Any scanning device decodes well over
bar code). This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings quick
decodes. Move the SB1 closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned. The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called
a decode zone. A decode graph simply plots working range as a function of minimum element widths of bar
code symbols. See the SB1 Integrator Guide for the detailed information.

NOTE Contact the Zebra Global Customer Support if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly
printed bar codes should be quick and effortless.
Bar Code Reading
To read bar codes:
1.Ensure that the SB1 is loaded with a scanning application.
2.Aim the exit window at the bar code.
Figure 3-2
3.Press the Scan button. Ensure the red illumination covers the entire bar code. The LED Indicator

A
Access Point. Access Point (AP) refers to Zebra’s Ethernet Access Point. It is a piece of communications equipment
that manages communications between the host computer system and one or more wireless terminals. An AP
connects to a wired Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired network and IEEE 802.11

facility while maintaining a seamless connection to the wired network.
B
Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in
machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data
or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each
recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of
data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific
character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in
memory is used to store one ASCII character.

IP accepts “packets” from the layer 4 transport protocol (TCP or UDP), adds its own header to it and delivers a
“datagram” to the layer 2 data link protocol. It may also break the packet into fragments to support the maximum
transmission unit (MTU) of the network.
IP Address. (Internet Protocol address) The address of a computer attached to an IP network. Every client and server
station must have a unique IP address. A 32-bit address used by a computer on a IP network. Client workstations
