Charging the Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the EDA 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). To charge the EDA, use a cable or a cradle with the
appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 5,
Accessories.
The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When using the EDA for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully
charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is
removed for several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 30 minutes (at room
temperature) when the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the
combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.
To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles. For cradle setup and charging
procedures refer to the MC70 Integrator Guide.
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
•
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
•
Vehicle Cradle.
Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a
pass-through port for charging.
To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED blinks amber
while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-2 for charging indications.
Getting Started 1 - 7
The standard capacity battery (1900 mAh) fully charges in less than four hours. The extended capacity battery
(3800 mAh) fully charges in less than eight hours.
Charging Spare Batteries
Use one of the following accessories to charge a 1900 mAh or 3800 mAh spare battery:
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
•
Four Slot Battery Charger
•
VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle.
To charge a spare battery:
1. Connect the spare battery charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the spare battery into the accessory’s spare battery charging slot with the charging contacts facing
down (over the charging pins) and gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.
The battery begins charging. The amber charge LED on the accessory lights to show the charge status.
The standard spare battery fully charges in less than four hours, and the extended spare battery fully charges
in less than eight hours.

Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0oC to 40oC (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35oC,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-2.

EDAs 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.
Imaging
EDAs with an integrated imager have 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.
Operational Modes
EDAs 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 EDA 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 EDA’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 EDA’s field of view. This is useful
for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.
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.
2 - 22 MC70 User Guide
•
Angle
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.
•
Hold the EDA farther away for larger symbols.
•
Move the EDA closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Linear Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the EDA.
2. Aim the scan window at the bar code.
Figure 2-16

Resetting the EDA
There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the EDA by closing all running
programs. A cold boot also restarts the EDA, and also resets the clock. Data saved in flash memory or a
memory card is not lost.
Perform a warm boot first. If the EDA still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the EDA starts to boot release the
Power button.
Performing a Cold Boot

Chapter 3 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.
EDAs 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
Bluetooth phone as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between the Bluetooth mobile computer
and a Bluetooth enabled phone.
Symbol mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program
Bluetooth within the EDA refer to the Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ help.
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 Symbol mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this EDA 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.
3 - 2 MC70 User Guide
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.
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 EDA. 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 in EDAs with multiple radios, turn off radios not in use.
