emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the device use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power
supply. For information about the accessories available for the device see Accessories for more information.
The battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5 hours, and from fully depleted to 100% in
approximately three hours.
NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for
approximately 14 hours of use. To achieve the best fast charging results use only Zebra charging accessories
and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the device in sleep mode.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F). The device or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (for example: approximately +37°C
(+98°F)) the device or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging
to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The device or accessory indicates when charging is disabled
due to abnormal temperatures via its LED and a notification appears on the display.
To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the device into a cradle or attach to a cable. The device turns on and begins charging. The
Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

Page 64
Linear Imager
The device with an integrated linear imager has the following features:
•Reading a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
•Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory,
and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by
pressing the Scan button.
•Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a
barcode.
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
Data Capture
•Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode
is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required
barcode to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple barcodes and
manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).
NOTE: To enable Basic MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API
command.
•Basic MultiBarcode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode a specific number of
unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan
button, or until it decodes all the barcodes.
•The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 100).
•If there are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the duplicate barcodes is
decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has two duplicate barcodes plus another two
different barcodes, a maximum of three barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be ignored as
a duplicate.
•Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together. For example, if the
specified quantity for a Basic MultiBarcode scan is four, two barcodes can be symbology type Code 128
and the other two can be symbology type Code 39.
•If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in view of the device, the device will not decode
any data until the device is moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If the device
field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified quantity, the device randomly
decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of unique barcodes is reached. For example, if the count
is set to two and eight barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the first two unique barcodes
it sees, returning the data in random order.
•Basic MultiBarcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it.
However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
•Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from
the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan within range
for quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner
closer and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being scanned.
•Angle: Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back into
the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the
beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect
scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to
work within.
•Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
•Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different scanning
procedures from the one listed above.
Scanning with Internal Imager
To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the DataWedge app that allows the
user to enable the imager, decode the barcode data, and display the barcode content.
To scan with the internal imager:
1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the exit window on the top of the device at a barcode.

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other
servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web
page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to
its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the
filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf
of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that
the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of
security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Wi-Fi Direct device.
Bluetooth 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 (10 m (32.8 ft))
communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks)
with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
90
Page 91
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare,
fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while
maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
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 enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5
mW and the expected range is 10 m (32.8 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain
due to power and device differences, and whether in open space or closed office space.
Wireless
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 required 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 accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices
and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being
paired generates the initialization key. The PIN 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 or passkey 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 do not store the PIN codes in the device
•Implement application-level security.
