2 - 20 MC70 User Guide ! CAUTION stylus. To prevent damage to the screen, do not use any device other than the Symbol-provided Using a Headset You can use a stereo headset for audio communication when using an audio-enabled application. To use a headset, plug the headset jack into the audio connector on the side of the EDA. Set the EDA’s volume appropriately before putting the headset on. Plugging a headset into the jack mutes the speaker. For the best audio performance, symbol recommends a 2.
Using the MC70 2 - 21 Linear Scanning 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.
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.
Using the MC70 2 - 23 Imager Scanning 1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the EDA. 2. Aim the scan window at the bar code. Figure 2-18 Imager Scanning 3. Press 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.
2 - 24 MC70 User Guide Figure 2-21 Pick List Mode with Multiple Bar Codes in Aiming Pattern 4. Release the scan button. NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The EDA repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed. Resetting the EDA There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the EDA by closing all running programs.
Using the MC70 2 - 25 Waking the EDA The wakeup conditions define what actions wake up the EDA. These settings are configurable and the factory default settings shown in Table 2-9 are subject to change/update. Table 2-9 Wakeup Conditions (Default Settings) Status Power Off (Suspend Mode) Description When the EDA suspends by pressing Power, these actions wake the EDA. Conditions for Wakeup 1. Power button is pressed. 2. AC power added or removed. 3. Cradle/cable connect or disconnect.

Chapter 3 Using Bluetooth 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.
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.
Using Bluetooth 3-3 Disabling Bluetooth To disable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon - Disable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes to indicate that Bluetooth is disabled. Figure 3-1 Disable Bluetooth Enabling Bluetooth To enable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon - Enable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes to indicate that Bluetooth is enabled.
3-4 MC70 User Guide Warm Boot Performing a warm boot on the EDA returns Bluetooth to the last state after initialization. Suspend Suspending the EDA turns off Bluetooth.
