The device supports data capture using:

  • Integrated Imager
  • Integrated Camera
  • RS507/RS507X Hands-free Imager
  • RS5100 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
  • RS6000 Hands-free Imager
  • DS2278 Digital Scanner
  • DS3578 Bluetooth scanner
  • DS3608 USB scanner
  • DS3678 Digital Scanner
  • DS8178 Digital Scanner
  • LI3678 Linear Scanner

Imaging
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features:

  • Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, Digimarc, 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 barcode, stores the resulting image in memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.

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.

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 three modes of operation.
Activate each mode by pressing the Scan button.

  • Decode mode — The device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of view.
    The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a barcode.
    NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in Data Wedge or set in an application using a API command.

  • Pick List mode — Selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the device’s field of view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this feature 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 Multi Barcode Mode, configure in Data Wedge or set in an application using a API command.

  • Basic Multi Barcode 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.

  • The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 100).

  • 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 Multi Barcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.

Scanning Considerations
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
Use the internal imager to capture barcode data.
NOTE: To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the Data Wedge app that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode barcode data and display the barcode content.

  1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (10 m (32.8 ft)) communication and low power consumption.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (for example, files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as printers, access points, and other mobile devices.
The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications.
AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:

  • Channel Classification – A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or predefined channel mask.
  • Link Management – Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
  • Hop Sequence Modification – Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
  • Channel Maintenance – A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.

When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows enterprise devices to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5 mW and the expected range is 10 m (32.8 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether in open space or closed office space.
NOTE: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need.
Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device
authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction.
Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption.
The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:

  • Perform pairing in a secure environment
  • Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
  • Implement application-level security.

Application Deployment

This section provides an overview of device security, app development, and app management. It also provides instructions for installing apps and updating the device software.

Android Security
The device implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security configuration of the device, and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run with the needed level of trust).
NOTE: Ensure the date is set correctly before installing certificates or when accessing secure web sites.

Secure Certificates
If the VPN or Wi-Fi networks rely on secure certificates, obtain the certificates and store them in the device’s secure credential storage, before configuring access to the VPN or Wi-Fi networks.
If downloading the certificates from a web site, set a password for the credential storage. The device supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store files with a .p12 extension (if key store has a .pfx or other extension, change to .p12).
The device also installs any accompanying private key or certificate authority certificates contained in the key store.

Installing a Secure Certificate
If required by the VPN or Wi-Fi network, install a secure certificate on the device.

  1. Copy the certificate from the host computer to the root of the microSD card or the device’s internal memory. See Transferring Files on page 49 for information about connecting the device to a host computer and copying files.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Touch Security > Encryption & credentials.
  4. Touch Install a certificate.
  5. Navigate to the location of the certificate file.
  6. Touch the filename of the certificate to install.
  7. If prompted, enter the password for credential storage. If a password has not been set for the credential storage, enter a password for it twice, and then touch OK.
  8. If prompted, enter the certificate’s password and touch OK.
  9. Enter a name for the certificate and in the Credential use drop-down, select VPN and apps or Wi-Fi. 10. Touch OK.

The certificate can now be used when connecting to a secure network. For security, the certificate is deleted from the microSD card or internal memory.

Battery Safety Guidelines

  • The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non commercial environment.
  • Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in this guide.
  • Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
  • To charge the mobile device battery, the ambient battery and charger temperatures must be between 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
  • Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers, including non-Zebra batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a battery or a charger, contact the Global Customer Support Center.
  • For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be connected to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
  • Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred the battery.
  • Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to overheat.
  • Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
  • Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.

Best Practices for Enterprise Mobile Computing Devices Operating in Hot Environments and Direct Sunlight
Exceeding the operating temperature by external hot environments will cause the device’s thermal sensor to notify the user of a shutdown of the WAN modem or shutdown the device until the device’s temperature returns to the operational temperature range.

  • Avoid direct sunlight to the device – The easiest way to prevent overheating is to keep the device out of direct sunlight. The device absorbs light and heat from the sun and retains it, getting hotter the longer it remains in sunlight and heat.
  • Avoid leaving the device in a vehicle on a hot day or hot surface – Similar to leaving the device out in direct sunlight, the device will also absorb the thermal energy from a hot surface or when left on the dashboard of a vehicle or seat, getting warmer the longer it remains on the hot surface or inside the hot vehicle.
  • Turn off unused apps on the device. Open, unused apps running in the background can cause the device to work harder, which in turn may cause it to heat up. This will also improve your mobile computer device’s battery life performance.
  • Avoid turning your screen brightness up – Just the same as running background apps, turning your brightness up will force your battery to work harder and create more heat. Minimizing your screen brightness may extend operating the mobile computer device in hot environments.

Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection. Read the warning label on alcohol product before using.
If you have to use any other solution for medical reasons please contact the Global Customer Support Center for more information.

WARNING: Avoid exposing this product to contact with hot oil or other flammable liquids. If such exposure occurs, unplug the device and clean the product immediately in accordance with these guidelines.

Approved Cleanser Active Ingredients
100% of the active ingredients in any cleaner must consist of one or some combination of the following: isopropyl alcohol, bleach/sodium hypochlorite (see important note below), hydrogen peroxide, ammonium chloride, or mild dish soap.

IMPORTANT: Use pre-moistened wipes and do not allow liquid cleaner to pool.
Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite, the metal surfaces on the device are prone to oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). In the event that these type of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an alcohol dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.

Harmful Ingredients
The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact with the device: acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; aqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene; carbolic acid and TB- lysoform.
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to be harmful to the housing of the device.

Cleaners that are not approved include:
The following cleaners are only approved for healthcare devices:

  • Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
  • Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaners
  • Bleach Products.

Device Cleaning Instructions
Do not apply liquid directly to the device. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre- moistened wipes. Do not wrap the device in the cloth or wipe, instead gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display window or other places. Before use, allow the unit to air dry.

NOTE: For thorough cleaning, it is recommended to first remove all accessory attachments, such as hand straps or cradle cups, from the mobile device and to clean them separately.

Special Cleaning Notes
Do not handle the device while wearing vinyl gloves containing phthalates. Remove vinyl gloves and wash hands to eliminate any residue left from the gloves.
1 When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products, always follow the manufacturer’s recommended instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.

If products containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device, such as a hand sanitizer that contains ethanolamine, hands must be  completely dry before handling the device to prevent damage to the device.

IMPORTANT: If the battery connectors are exposed to cleaning agents, thoroughly wipe off as much of the chemical as possible and clean with an alcohol wipe. It is also recommended to install the battery in the terminal prior to cleaning and disinfecting the device to help minimize buildup on the connectors. When using cleaning/disinfectant agents on the device, it is important to follow the directions prescribed by the cleaning/disinfectant agent manufacturer.

Cleaning Materials Required

  • Alcohol wipes
  • Lens tissue
  • Cotton-tipped applicators
  • Isopropyl alcohol
  • Can of compressed air with a tube.

Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is at the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile devices are used and may be cleaned as frequently as required. When dirt is visible, it is recommended to clean the mobile device to avoid the build-up of particles which makes the device more difficult to clean later on.
For consistency and optimum image capture, it is recommended to clean the camera window periodically especially when used in environments prone to dirt or dust.
