7.10 Bluetooth Peripherals
If the 7535/7530 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, it is possible to communicate
with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners,
printers, and so on. The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 7535/7530 is limited to
approximately 5 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS tri-band universal handset
• Bluetooth printer
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz
band. Although the 7535/7530 includes features to minimize interference,
performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously.
Typically, when both radios operate in the 7535/7530 at the same time, they cannot
transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput.
To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix
recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as
printers and scanners).
Bluetooth peripherals are configured by choosing the Bluetooth icon in the Control
Panel. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 116 for information about setting up
your Bluetooth devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped
with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the
7535/7530 host.
7.11 The 7535/7530 Picker Cradle
The 7535/7530 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although
it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the 7535/7530 securely
even when operated in high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped
with suspensions).
The7535/7530 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power
module and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard
mounts for the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7535/7530 picker cradle is
compatible with all of them.
