CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page

6-3.

Charging the Main Battery and Memory 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 1-7 for charge status indications).

The wearable terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main
battery whether or not the wearable terminal is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 30 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 memory backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the
main battery from the wearable terminal for 15 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 memory
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.

CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE

DRAFT

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.

Laser Scanning

Wearable terminals with an optional RS309, RS409 or RS419 laser scanner have the following features:

•

Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1D code
types.

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

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 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
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

3 - 2 WT41N0 User Guide

DRAFT

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 Symbol Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed

bar codes should be quick and effortless.

Scanning Bar Codes

1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.

2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.

3. Press the trigger.

•

Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The red scan LED lights to indicate that the laser
is on. The green scan LED lights. An audible beep might sound, if the application determines, to
indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

Figure 3-1

4. Release the trigger.

Scanning Tips

Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.

•

•

Scan LED Indicator

The LED on the scanner provides a visual indication of the scan status.

Table 3-1

Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern

NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously . The wearable terminal repeats the steps required to take

a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code, as long as the trigger remains pulled.

Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and wearable terminal configuration. An application

may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Scan LED Indicators

LED Status Indication

Off Not scanning.
Solid Red Laser enabled, scanning in process.
Solid Green Successful decode.

Imaging

DRAFT

The wearable terminal with an optional RS507 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 wearable terminal with optional RS507 imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate
each mode pressing the Scan button.

•

Decode Mode: In this mode, the RS507 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.

Data Capture 3 - 3

NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at

http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a

API command.

•

Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is

in the RS507’s 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 labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

•

Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the RS507’s field of view . This is useful

for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Imager Scanning

1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.

2. 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.

CHAPTER 4 WIRELESS APPLICATIONS

DRAFT

Introduction

Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send captured
data to a host device in real time. Before using the wearable terminal on a WLAN, the facility must be set up
with the required hardware to run the wireless LAN and the wearable terminal must be configured. Refer to the
documentation provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.

NOTE 802.11d is enabled by default. When enabled, the AP must be configured the same in order to

connect.

To configure the wearable terminal, a set of wireless applications provide the tools to configure and test the
wireless radio in the wearable terminal. Refer to the Wireless Fusion Enterprise Mobility Suite User Guide for
