Charging the Battery
Before using the device for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light
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.
17
Page 18
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.

Data Capture
Introduction
The device supports data capture using:
• Integrated imager
• Integrated camera
• RS507/RS507x Hands-free imager
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• DS3678 Digital Scanner
• LI3678 Linear Scanner
• DS2278 Digital Scanner
• DS8178 Digital Scanner.
Imaging
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. With a 2D imager, the device has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear,
postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based barcode scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear,
postal, QR, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
• Picklist mode to decode a particular barcode from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, and executes
state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Page 82
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. Available on integrated SE2100 or SE4710 imagers only.
• The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 10).
• 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
Data Capture
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.

NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the barcode until the crosshair or aiming dot touches the barcode.
4. Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot
increases visibility in bright lighting conditions.
