4 Psion Teklogix RD7950 Quick Start Guide 1. IntroductionThe RD7950 Integrated UHF RFID Reader is an EPC-compliant 900MHz RFID reader available for use with the Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer. The RD7950 meets the EPC-compliance requirements of Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense, while leveraging existing hardware infrastructures. Multimedia data capture capabilities are delivered by combining RFID with existing technolo-gies such as laser bar code scanning or imaging.2. Features2.1 Flexibility Compatible with EPC Class 0, 0+, and Class 1, as well as the ISO 18000-6 B protocol, the RD7950 delivers outstanding flexibility. Delivers multimedia data capture capabilities since the RD7950, and laser bar code scanning or imaging capabilities, can be integrated into a single hand-held device.2.2 RuggednessThe rugged design of the RD7950 delivers overall system up-time for increased productivity even in harsh environments. The RD7950 is rated at IP54, protected against dust and water sprayed from all directions. Combined with a 1.22 m (4 ft.) drop rating to concrete, 26 times, the RD7950 will keep working even when subjected to harsh impacts.

6 Psion Teklogix RD7950 Quick Start GuideAttaching The Pistol GripNotes: A Phillips head screwdriver is required. Do not use adhe-sives such as Loctite to secure the screws on carrying acces-sories. These chemicals may damage the plastic casing.The pistol grip is attached to the back of the 7535 Hand-Held Computer using the four threaded inserts in the upper part of the 7535 casing. Four black #4-40 Phillips head screws are provided with this acces-sory: two for insertion into the bottom holes, and two for insertion into the top holes through the RD7950 when attaching it to the 7535/pistol grip assembly (see page 7). Note: Prior to installation, make sure the trigger mechanism is securely snapped into the pistol grip body and that the trigger operates properly. • Position the pistol grip so that it fits snugly over the back of the unit and the inserts on the back of the 7535 align with the holes in the pistol grip. • Using a Phillips screwdriver, securely fasten the pistol grip to the two bottom holes on the back of the 7535. Tighten the screws to a torque of 3kgf-cm (3 lbs-in), or until finger-tight, to secure the pistol grip in place.
