Using the MC75A 2 - 23Interactive Sensor TechnologyThis section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensor Technology (IST) feature on the MC75A.The IST supports the following features.•Power Management – manage power by configuring IST to control switching on/off the backlight, control suspend mode of the MC75A by monitoring motion and orientation.•Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the MC75A orientation.•Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.Power ManagementThe MC75A orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC75A usage and can be used to manage the battery power of the mobile computer. For example, IST can be configured to control the backlight on and off functionality or go into suspend according to a user gesture by placing screen facing down. It can also be used to keep the MC75A active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend mode while in use.Display OrientationThe screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical orientation of the MC75A. For example, if the MC75A is rotated 90° counterclockwise, IST rotates the display counterclockwise 90° so that the screen display appears correct.This functionality is achieved by monitoring screen angle and rotating the display to counter any changes. IST only rotates the screen in multiples of 90°.Figure 2-23 Display OrientationDRAFT

2 - 24 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User GuideFree Fall DetectionIST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC75A according to its current position. When the MC75A free falls, IST detects the absence of gravitational force and records the event data if it detects a free fall more than 450 ms, which may indicates nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or misuse.IST features a log for recording the free fall events.

Chapter 3 Data CaptureIntroductionThe MC75A offers three types of data capture options:•Laser scanning•Imaging•Color digital camera.Laser ScanningAn MC75A with an integrated laser scanner has the following features:•Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types. •Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.Scanning ConsiderationsTypically, 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:•RangeAny 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 dependable decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer or further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned. •AngleScanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes.NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC75A. A sample scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at http://support.symbol.com.DRAFT

3 - 2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide•Hold the MC75A farther away for larger symbols.•Move the MC75A closer for symbols with bars that are close together.Bar Code Scanning1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the MC75A.Figure 3-1 Linear Scanning2. Press and hold the scan button. The laser beam exits from the end of the MC75A. 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.Figure 3-2 Linear Scanner Aiming Pattern3. Release the scan button.ImagingAn MC75A with an integrated imager has the following features:•Omnidirectional 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.NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC75A configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.IncorrectCorrectDRAFT

Data Capture 3 - 3Operational ModesMC75A with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pulling the trigger or pressing the Scan button.•Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC75A 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 trigger, or until it decodes a bar code.•Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the MC75A’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode only this 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 MC75A’s field of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.Imager Scanning1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC75A.Figure 3-3 Imager Scanning2. Press and hold the scan button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the brackets in the aiming pattern. 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. Note that when the MC75A is in Pick List Mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair touches the bar code.NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the web site at http://support.symbol.com. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.DRAFT

Chapter 5 Using GPS NavigationIntroductionThe MC75A includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. 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.Software InstallationThird-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/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 MC75A. Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.MC75A GPS SetupThe GPS-enabled MC75A operating system automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.By default, the MC75A has the following settings:1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.2. In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to COM8.3. In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to GMX1.WARNING!When using the MC75A 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.DRAFT

5 - 2 MC75 User GuideOperationAcquiring 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 MC75A being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable. GPS Maps on microSD CardsGPS 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 MC75A.2. Insert the microSD card into the slot.3. Replace the Memory Card Cover.Answering a Phone Call While Using GPSIf 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.Losing the GPS Signal While in a VehicleGPS performance on the MC75A may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the MC75A from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC75A where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC75A 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 GPSGPS 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.A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the MC75A to communicate with a location server.NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC75A does not go into suspend mode. If the MC75A suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC75A and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call.DRAFT

Chapter 6 Using BluetoothIntroductionBluetooth-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. MC75As with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the MC75A as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC75A.The MC75A with Bluetooth technology uses either the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack or the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. To write an application that uses the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack APIs, refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.Adaptive Frequency HoppingAdaptive 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. DRAFT

6 - 2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User GuideThe Bluetooth radio in this MC75A 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. SecurityThe 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.The Microsoft stack supports Smart-pairing. For detailed information, refer to the Microsoft MSDN.The StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack supports Secure Simple Pairing. Secure Simple Pairing improves the pairing experience for Bluetooth devices and increasing the use and strength of security. Both the host and the remote device must support Secure Simple Pairing. If one device does not, standard pairing will be used, as described above.NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.DRAFT
