Charging the Battery

Before using the TC70 for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC70, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the TC70, see Accessories on page 117 for more information.
• Snap-On USB Cable
• Charging Cable Cup
• 2-Slot Charge Only Cradle
• 2-Slot USB/Ethernet Cradle
• 5-Slot Charge Only Cradle
• 5-Slot Ethernet Cradle
The 4,620 mAh battery fully charges in approximately six hours at room temperature.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The TC70 or accessory always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37 °C (+98 °F)) the TC70 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC70 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.

Data Capture

The TC70 offers data capture using the integrated imager, camera or the RS507 Hands-free imager.
Note:
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Music and Media). The good decode beep can be set to another sound (Notifications or Alarms) and the volume can be independently controlled. See the DataWedge section in the TC70 Integrator Guide for more information.
DataWedge is installed and enabled on the TC70 by default.

Imaging

The TC70 with an integrated imager 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.
The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
•
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot 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 TC70 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 TC70 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes 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 bar code.
Note: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the TC70 ’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required bar code to decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

RS507 Hands-Free Imager

The RS507 Hands-free Imager is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. The scanner supports Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the device.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range: Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics. Scanning within range brings 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 bar codes being scanned.
• Angle: Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t 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 TC70 farther away for larger symbols
•
• Move the TC70 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Note: Scanning procedures depend on the application and different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The TC70 contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.
Procedure:
1 Ensure that an application is open on the TC70 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2 Point the exit window on the top of the TC70 at a bar code.

3 Press and hold the scan button.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
4 Note: When the TC70 is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or
aiming dot touches the bar code.
Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.

Wireless Local Area Networks

99 | Wireless
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC70 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the TC70 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks settings configure the TC70 to match the security scheme.
The TC70 supports the following WLAN security options:
• Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK).
• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See Status Bar on page 39 for more information.
Note: Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.
TC70 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
