Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Scanning Techniques 3.7.1 Scanning Techniques Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners. • • • • • • Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode. Scan the entire bar code.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Troubleshooting 3.7.3 Troubleshooting If the scanner is not working, investigate the following: • Is the 7535 on? • Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535 you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code. • Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners 3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes. • • Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely. Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed. 3.7.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals • When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned. Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken. 3.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To remove the peripheral: • Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector. Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether Cable Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell. 3.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following: • • • The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible. The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Storing Batteries 3.9.1 Storing Batteries Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary: • • • • • Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time. Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C. Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Uploading Data In A Docking Station 3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an Ethernet network.

When a 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535 Cleaning The 7535 3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535 Important: • • • Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.
