3. Press the battery into the handle until it snaps into place.
Charging the Battery
Before using the device for the first time, charge the battery using a cable or a cradle with the appropriate
power supply. For information about the accessories available for the device, see Accessories.
The device is equipped with a supercapacitor (supercap) which automatically charges from the fully-charged
main battery. The supercap requires approximately 10 minutes to fully charge. The supercap retains random
access memory (RAM) data in memory and WLAN connection for at least 30 seconds when the main battery is
removed during Hot Swap. After 30 seconds, the WLAN connection is dropped and the RAM data is retained
for 20 minutes.

The 7,000 mAh battery charges from 0 - 90% in less than five hours at room temperature.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The device or accessory always
performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. 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 red blinking LED.
1. To charge the main battery, 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/Scan LED lights amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

Hot Swap Mode
The device provides a Hot Swap mode where the user can replace the battery without powering off the device.
When the user removes the battery, the display turns off and the device enters a low power state while in Hot
Swap mode. In Hot Swap mode, the device retains RAM data for approximately 5 minutes. Replace the battery
within 5 minutes to preserve memory persistence. If the user does not install a charged battery within 5
minutes, data in RAM will be lost. During Hot Swap mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth remain connected for 30
seconds. If the battery is not inserted within 30 seconds, Wi-Fi is disabled and then re-enabled when the
device comes out of Hot Swap mode and Bluetooth is reset when the device comes out of Hot Swap mode.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
battery is fully depleted. Hot Swap mode will not retain data unless the supercap is fully charged.

Introduction
NOTE
:
Not available on all configurations
The device has the following data capture options:
•integrated SE965 Standard Range Laser
•integrated SE4770-Standard Range Imager
•integrated SE4850 Extended Range Imager
•integrated digital camera
•optional RS507 Hands-Free Imager.
NOTE
:
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Notifications). The good decode beep can be set to another sound (Ringer, Music and Media or Alarms) and the volume can be independently controlled. See the DataWedge

Status LED
The Charging/Scan LED indicates data capture status. The LED lights green when a bar code is successfully
decoded.
Figure 60 Charging/Scan LED
Laser Scanning
The device with laser scanner has the following features:
•Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code
types.
95
•Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
The device with an integrated imager has the following features:
•Omnidirectional (360°) 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 for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in
its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode
pressing the Scan button.
•Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
•Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code
is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or center 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).
Data Capture
NOTE
:
To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following features:
•Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code 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 bar code from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the 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 and the scanning angle:
•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. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules.
The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called a
96
Data Capture
decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum
element widths of bar code symbols.
•Angle
The scan angle is important for optimizing decode performance. 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 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.
NOTE
:
Contact the Zebra Support if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed bar codes should be
quick and effortless.
Bar Code Capture with Laser Scanner
To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge application
that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content. See
DataWedge on page 8-107 for information on enabling DataWedge.
1. Launch a scanning application.
2. Point the exit window at a bar code.
