Charging the Main Battery and Backup Battery
Before using the wearable terminal for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status
LED remains lit (see Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charge status indications).
The wearable terminal is equipped with a backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery
whether or not the wearable terminal is operating or is in suspend mode. The backup battery retains data in
memory for at least 15 minutes when the wearable terminal's main battery is removed or fully discharged.
When the wearable terminal is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has fully discharged,
the backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the main battery from the
wearable terminal for 16 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is
removed from the wearable terminal or the main battery is fully discharged, the backup battery completely
discharges in several hours.
When the wearable terminal reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup
battery retains data in memory for at least 24 hours.
NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the
backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.
Charge the wearable terminal with an installed main batter y using either the Sin gle Slot USB cradle or the Four
Slot Ethernet cradle.
To charge the main battery:
1.Ensure the cradle used to charge the main battery is connected to the appropriate power source.
2.Insert the wearable terminal into a cradle.

CHAPTER 3DATA CAPTURE
Introduction
The wearable terminal can be used with the following optional data capture accessories:
•
RS309 laser scanner
•
RS409 laser scanner
•
RS419 laser scanner
•
RS507 Hands-free imager
•
RS5000 imager.
Laser Scanning
Wearable terminals with an optional RS309, RS409 or RS419 laser sca nner have the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear and 1D code types.
•
Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation
•
Adaptive scanning (RS419 only).
Scanning Bar Codes
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and wearable terminal configuration. An application may
use different scanning procedures from the one listed below.
1.Connect one of the scanning options to the wearable terminal. See Chapter 5, Accessories for more
information.
2.Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded or DataWedge is enabled (see DataWedge on page 3- 6
for more information).
3.Press the trigger.
3 - 2WT41N0 User Guide
4.Aim the scan beam at the bar code.
Ensure the red scan beam covers the en tire bar code. The Decode LED lights red to indica te that scanning
is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded
successfully.
Figure 3-1
5.Release the trigger .
Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern
Scanning Tips
Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.
•
Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
•
Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Adaptive Scanning
The RS419 contains the adaptive scanning feature that automatically adjusts the scan beam width for rapid
and easy scanning of bar codes from near contact to more than 200 inches away.
By default the RS419 is set to wide scan beam width. When the user presses the trigger, the RS419
determines the distance from the bar code. For close bar codes the RS419 sets a wide beam width and for far
bar codes it sets a narrow beam width. The RS419 uses distance, bar code type and material to determine the
correct scan beam width.
Figure 3-2
RS419 Adaptive Scanning
Imaging
The wearable terminal with an optional RS507 or RS5000 imager has the follo wing features:
•
Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear,
postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•
Advanced 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 wearable terminal with optional RS507 and RS5000 imager supports two modes of operation. Activate
each mode pressing the Scan button.
•
Decode Mode: In this mode, the imager attempts to locate and d ecode b ar cod es within its field of vie w.
The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar
code.
Data Capture3 - 3
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, use the Control Panel applet or DataWedge. Pick List can also be 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 imager field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the
required bar code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar
codes and manufacturing or transport lab els con taining more than one bar code (either 1D or 2D).
Imager Scanning
Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded or DataWedge is enabled (see DataWedge on page 3-6 for
more information).
RS507 Scanning
1.Press and hold the scan button.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the cross-hair is on top of the bar code.
The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by
default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Note that when the RS507 is in Pick List Mode,
the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair center dot touches the bar code.

NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The RS507 or RS5000 repeats the steps required to
take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two
important considerations can be used to optimize any 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 r ange for the bar code s 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
decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum
element widths of bar code symbols. Refer to the WT41N0 Integrator Guide for decode zones for the
optional data capture options.
•
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.
\
NOTE Contact the Zebra Global Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly
printed bar codes should be quick and effortless.

unit has not been powered on for an extended period of time, there may be a minute or more of delay
before the RS5000 is functional.
NOTE Wearable computers with standard capacity batteries must use the Standard Capacity Battery Freezer
Pouch while wearable computers with extended capacity batteries must use the Extended Capacity
Battery Freezer Pouch. See Table 5-1 on page 5-1 for more information.
CAUTION Do not use the wearable terminal with touch screen in the freezer pouch or in environments that are
below -20°C (-4°F).
The freezer pouch allows the user to use the wearable terminal in a freezer environment on the hip or wrist for
use in voice picking applications. An RS309, RS409 or RS419 scanner with an extended cable is required
when mounting the freezer pouch on the hip mount, if scanning is also part of the application.
In order to keep the wearable terminal at a safe operating temperature in a meat or ice cream freezer, the
freezer pouch insulates the wearable terminal to keep the heat generated by the wearable terminal within the
pouch. The pouch is not heated. There are no batteries to worry about or electronics within the pouch.
5 - 14WT41N0 User Guide
The freezer pouch can be either hip-mounted or wrist-mounted. For hip-mounting, there is a belt loop on its
back for attached a belt (sold separately). For wrist-mounting, customers can buy either a set of
standard-length or longer-length wrist straps and use them with the pouch. The longer-length wrist straps are
recommended for wrist-mounting over coats. The freezer pouch has openings on each side for wearable
scanners and headset adapters.
While the freezer pouch is designed to allow workers to use the wearable terminal in meat and ice cream
freezers, there are some very important limitations to follow:
•
Do not use in environments that are below -30°C (-22°F).
•
Do not allow the wearable terminal (with or without the freezer pouch) to remain in the suspend mode in
environments below -20°C (-4°F) for more than 10 minutes. This prevents the wearable terminal from
cooling down to the ambient freezer temperature. The pouch maintains the wearable terminal at a
sufficient temperature while it is in u se, but lengthy periods of inactivity bring the wearab le terminal below
its operating temperature.
•
Do not store wearable terminals in the meat or ice cream freezer. As explained above, this would allow
the wearable terminals to chill to the ambient freezer temperature, which is below their operating
temperature. Furthermore, if batteries were left in wearable terminals stored in the freezer, the batteries
themselves could freeze, which could damage them. At the least, they would not function while frozen.
•
Batteries cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). Zebra cradles and battery chargers have an automatic
shut-off to insure this.
•
If using wearable scanners with the wearable terminal in the meat or ice cream freezer for a shift,
remember that the RS309 freezer configuration is the correct scanner to choose, du e to its lower
operating temperature range and its desiccant pack to remove condensation.
Slide the wearable terminal into the freezer pouch.
