Chapter 5 Using GPS Navigation Introduction The 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.
5-2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide Operation Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to 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.
Using GPS Navigation 5-3 To configure SUPL on the MC75A: 1. Tap Start > Settings > System > GPS Setup icon. Figure 5-1 SUPL Setup Tab 2. Select Enable SET Initiated SUPL on Opening to enable the MC75A to initiate SUPL upon opening the GPS port. 3. Select Enable Network Initiated SUPL to enable the network to initiate SUPL. 4.
5-4 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide Smart Re-Aiding causes the MC75A to reconnect to the SUPL server and download new A-GPS data if there are satellites in view and the number of satellites in use fall below the SVLimit value and the length of time passed since the last SUPL session is more than the value set in the Interval field. Timing Control on Opening determines whether a SUPL session is established when the GPS port is opened.
Chapter 6 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. MC75As with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g.
6-2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide The 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. NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
Using Bluetooth 6-3 Bluetooth Configuration By default, the MC75A is configured to using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. Refer to the MC75A Mobile Computer Integrator Guide, Appendix B, for information on switching to the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack. Table 6-1 list the services supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack.

Chapter 8 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Introduction This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the MC75A, and provides troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during MC75A operation. Maintaining the MC75A For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC75A: • Do not scratch the screen of the MC75A. When working with the MC75A, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen.
8-2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide Removing the Screen Protector A screen protector is applied to the MC75A. Motorola recommends using this to minimize wear and tear. Screen protectors enhance the usability and durability of touch screen displays. To remove the screen protector, lift the corner using a thin plastic card, such as a credit card, then carefully lift it off the display.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 8-3 • 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.
8-4 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide Display The display can be wiped down with the alcohol wipes, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dried the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking. Scanner Exit Window Wipe the scanner exit window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses. Connector 1. Remove the main battery from mobile computer.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 8. 8-5 Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle. If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry humidity requires less drying time. Cleaning Frequency The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile devices are used.

Appendix C Voice Quality Manager Introduction The Voice Quality Manager (VQM) is a software package that resides on the MC75A. VQM enables a set of features for Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) calls, and a sub-set of those features for cellular line (GSM or CDMA) calls.
C-2 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide 4. Tap the filename to enable VQM. Audio Modes The MC75A can be in any one of the seven different audio modes. The mode is visually indicated by the VQM icon on the title bar. VQM icon Figure C-1 VQM Icon in Title Bar The VQM icon indicates that the device is in speakerphone mode without Acoustic Echo Cancellation (indicated by the gray VQM icon).
Voice Quality Manager C-3 The table below lists the current audio mode and the subsequent audio mode after tapping the VQM icon. Table C-2 Changing Audio Modes Audio Mode before Tapping VQM Icon Audio Mode after Tapping VQM Icon Speakerphone Handset Handset Speakerphone Wired headset Wired headset Bluetooth headset Reverts back to the last profile used before the Bluetooth connection. If the audio mode is set to speakerphone and the user taps the VQM icon, the audio mode changes to handset.
C-4 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide VQM detects if there is an ongoing Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) call, and if so, marks outgoing voice packets (Only outgoing voice packets can be marked. The incoming voice packets have already been through the network, so it makes no sense to mark them.) as high-priority using DSCP. This enables WMM-compatible wireless infrastructure to treat the voice packets preferentially.
