Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
FR6876 User Guide 6 RF Exposure Information (SAR) This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.569 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.578 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.) For WLAN Head SAR and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.119 W/kg for WLAN Head SAR and 0.077 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: H9PFR6876. For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device FR6876 is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product. some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. FR6876 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M3 and/or T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
FR6876 User Guide 7For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro. Turning on the HAC Setting When the HAC setting is on, FR6876 sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. Turn off the [Bluetooth] function. Turn off the [WiFi] function. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with or a headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.

Using the FR6876 43 Data Capture The FR6876 offers one type of data capture option: linear scanning NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the FR6876. A sample scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at http://support.symbol.com. Linear Scanning FR6876 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features: • Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types. • Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation. Scanning Considerations Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, consider the following to optimize 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. • Angle Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this special 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. • Hold the FR6876 farther away for larger symbols. • Move the FR6876 closer for symbols with bars that are close together. NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and FR6876 configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above. 1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the FR6876. 2. Aim the scan window at the bar code.
Using the FR6876 44 Figure 2-15 Linear Scanning 3. Press the scan button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Scan/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.

Using GPS Using 54 Chapter 3 Using GPS Introduction The FR6876 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the Qualcomm chip. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth. WARNING! When using the FR6876 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving. Software Installation Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing, downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the FR6876. Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information. FR6876 GPS Setup The GPS-enabled FR6876 uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data. Ensure that the following settings are set on the FR6876: 1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon. 2. In the Programs tab, select GPD1 from the GPS program port drop-down list. 3. In the Hardware tab, select COM6 in the GPS hardware port drop-down list.
Using GPS Using 55 4. Tap ok to close the Setting window. NOTE If an application error message appears indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM port is selected in the GPS hardware port drop-down list. Operation Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the FR6876 being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable. NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the FR6876 does not go into suspend mode. If the FR6876 suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS signal, resulting in a delay of positional information. GPS Maps on microSD Cards GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS navigation software: 1. Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the FR6876. 2. Insert the microSD card into the slot. 3. Replace the Memory Card Cover. Downloading GPS Data Use this function to download GPS data to enhance GPS performance. This may require additional charge for data connection. 1. Tap Start > Program > GPSXtra icon. 2. Entering GPSXtra to download GPS data.
Using GPS Using 56 Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software: 1. Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button. 2. Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software. NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the FR6876 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call. Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle GPS performance on the FR6876 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the FR6876 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the FR6876 where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the FR6876 and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth. Assisted GPS GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
Using GPS Using 57 A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the FR6876 to communicate with a location server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the FR6876.
58 Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth Introduction Bluetooth-equipped 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 (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption. FR6876s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, and other mobile computers. To use the FR6876 as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and FR6876. 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 pre-defined 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 Motorola mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
Using Bluetooth 59 The Bluetooth radio in this FR6876 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures 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 needed 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 that is used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN number 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 number or passkey that is 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 don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer • Implement application-level security.
Using Bluetooth 61 Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the FR6876. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity. NOTE To achieve the best battery life turn off radios not in use. Disabling Bluetooth To disable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon to enter Wireless Manager. Tap Bluetooth icon to change on to off. The Bluetooth icon changes to indicate that Bluetooth is disabled.
