· Ensure that no persons are injured in case the mounting bracket breaks - The device may not be installed in such a way that persons can be injured during a breaking of the mounting bracket (for example, fatigue break). If the device is mounted in a place where people can be injured if the bracket breaks, apply appropriate safety measures (for example, install a security cable in addition to the device bracket).
Power Supply/Cable Safety
The main power cord shall comply with the national safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to be used. · Operation in an emergency - In case of an emergency (such as damage to the power cable or housing,
or ingress of liquid or other foreign bodies), disconnect the device immediately from the power supply. Contact technical support staff at once. · Protection of the power supplies - If, after replacement, the fuse fed by the internal power supply blows, send the device for servicing immediately. · Danger of electrocution when cleaning/servicing the device - In order to avoid electrocution, always disconnect the device from the power supply before cleaning or servicing the device. · Do not exceed maximum voltage when charging the vehicle battery - While charging the vehicle battery, disconnect the device from the battery or ensure that the maximum allowed input voltage of the device is not exceeded. · Do not switch on devices with damaged cables or plugs - Do not use the device if a cable or plug is damaged. Replace damaged parts immediately. · Do not connect or disconnect cables during storms - Cables must never be connected or disconnected during an electrical storm.
15

Getting Started

External Devices Safety
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recommended or sold by the manufacturer, can result in fire, electrocution or personal injury. · If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manufacturer. · Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB devices), disconnect
the device from the power supply to avoid serious damage to both the device and the connected devices.

Installation
CAUTION: Attach the device connecting cable as close to the battery as possible. Connecting the device to large electrical loads, such as converters for the forklift motor may result in random restarts, malfunctions and/or irreparable damage to the device. To connect devices fed by other power sources to the device, such as printers, power up the peripheral devices at the same time or after the device to avoid start-up problems, malfunctions, or irreparable damage to the device.
Wiring Guidelines
The metal chassis of the device is equipped with a ground lug (1) located on the underside adjacent to the power cable to provide additional ground to the vehicle. It is strongly recommended that a grounding strap is used to connect the ground stud on the vehicle-mount to a solid, reliable contact point on the main portion of the vehicle chassis. It must not be connected to a battery negative or terminal block. Figure 6 Ground Lug
1
As with other vehicle cables, carefully consider the routing of the ground strap to ensure it does not pose a hazard to the operator or the safe operation of the vehicle. If necessary, secure the ground strap with cable ties or some other mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire from catching on stationary items when the vehicle is in motion. Before installing the cables between the mount and other devices, consider the following: · Ensure that drilling holes do not damage the vehicle or its wiring. · Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage. · Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal. · Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from
areas where they may get snagged or pulled. · Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards. · Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere
with the operation of the vehicle. CAUTION: Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage of the vehicle.
23

Installation
If the device is installed in an environment where earth ground is present such as a vehicle with metal wheels running on a metal track, or is powered by the AC/DC adapter in a permanent installation, the ground lug must be connected to the ground structure.
Wiring Vehicle Power to the Device
An extension power cable is used to wire the device to the truck battery (order cable separately, see Device Accessories on page 99). Wire this cable to a filtered, fused (15A max) accessory supply on the vehicle. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the extension cable. Additional wiring (minimum 14 gauge), connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 300 VDC, 15A.
WARNING: Applying voltage above the input voltage rating or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the device and void the product warranty. When connecting the extension power cable: · If a power extension cable with ignition sense is used, ensure that the ignition sense wires (18AWG
wires in red and black leads) and the power wires (14AWG in red and black leads) are reliably secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. Minimum 2.8 mm distance, or 0.4 mm distance through insulation is required for the separation. · The red lead of the 14AWG power cables attach to the vehicles battery positive terminal. The 14AWG black lead connects to the vehicle's battery negative terminal. This should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. An optional grounding strap wire (sourced separately) may be connected to the ground lug of the VC8300 terminal connector bay and to the vehicle chassis. · You may have the option to connect power before or after the key switch. Though the VC8300 is equipped with a UPS, a proper shut down is recommended using the Power Off procedure. If it is wired after the key switch, the operator must shut down the device using the Power Off procedure before turning off the vehicle. If it is wired before the key switch, then to avoid excessive drain on the vehicle battery, either the operator should shut it down when the vehicle is to be left off for an extended period, or the ignition cable shut down wire should be connected and the device configured to shut down automatically. · An appropriate fuse type must be used with the power extension cable according to the installation instructions. For main power cable, use 3AB, 15A, 250V, slow blow fuse. For ignition sense input, use 3AB, 0.3A, 250V, slow blow fuse.
NOTE: The device supports the ignition sense feature that detects when the ignition switch or key switch is On or Off to allow automatic computer start up or shut down (with delay as needed). When wiring the ignition sense wires (18AWG in red and black), the red 18AWG wire is connected to a positive DC voltage source switched on by the ignition. The black 18AWG wire is connected to ground reference of this switched ignition source.
Installing the External Antenna

Forklift Battery Replacement Conditions
The device maintains the normal function of applications and connections during and after forklift battery replacement. Replace the forklift battery at any point during a shift and/or while the device is fully running. The forklift battery may be replaced under the following condition: Device external temperature range: -30°C to +50° C (-22°F to 122°F). The VC8300 is equipped with an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) which allows running it for a minimum of 30 minutes when the main power source (usually the fork truck battery) is disconnected.
26

Installation
During forklift battery replacement (the device is running on UPS battery), both Android and the device are monitoring the remaining UPS battery capacity. The default Low Battery notification threshold is set to 30%. The Critical Battery threshold is set to 7%. If the UPS battery is discharged below 7%, the device automatically shuts down.
Starting from Cold Soak
The device can start up from a saturated cold soak at -30°C (-22°F) (or above) internal temperature when a valid external DC power source is present.
NOTE: Applies to freezer configurations only.
The device design minimizes wait time from a -30°C (-22°F) cold soak to load the OS and have internal heaters to assist system warm-up. From a -30°C (-22°F) cold soak condition, the device's battery heater may be activated to warm the UPS battery to an acceptable charging temperature if charging is needed. The conditions and time to heat the battery are managed by the system. The OS load time and device ready for use time are independent of warming the battery.
Pre-Heat Mode
When the device is powered down or suspended and the system temperature is below -25°C (-13°F), the device enters pre-heat mode when the user presses Power. This warms up critical internal components with the heater elements prior to boot up.
NOTE: Applies to freezer configurations only.
When in Pre-heat mode the Power LED blinks amber. The pre-heat mode lasts no longer than 15 minutes. The freezer configuration spends less time in Pre-heat mode due to the additional Touch Panel heater. The device remains powered down or suspended during Pre-heat mode. Once the system reaches the adequate temperature, the device automatically boots up. The user is not required to press Power. The device does not enter Pre-heat mode if it is outside the operating temperature range (-30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F)).
Installing the Power Pre-Regulator
The pre-regulator is a DC/DC power supply and is available as an accessory. It should be used when the power source (usually the forklift truck battery) exceeds the input range of the VC8300 power supply (for example, trucks equipped with a 72 VDC battery). It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or heat shrink to prevent contaminants from degrading the connection.
IMPORTANT: The Zebra power extension cable positive lead is red and the negative lead is black. 1. Attach the pre-regulator cable male connector to the Zebra power extension cable which is installed on
the vehicle.
27

Installation
2. Connect the pre-regulator cable female connector either directly to the device's power cable, or to the power extension cable. Figure 8 Connections To Vehicle DC Supply - Without Power Pre-regulator For vehicles with DC power 48V or less

Non-Vehicle Installations
Using AC power, the device can be mounted at fixed locations adjacent to cross-dock doors, manufacturing stations, or in offices. Use the 100/240 VAC Power Supply (p/n PS1450) to power the computer from an AC source. IMPORTANT: The AC/DC power supply is only intended for use at room temperature conditions such as an office environment. Power On/Off with Ignition The device is equipped with an ignition sense feature that shuts down the device when the vehicle ignition is turned off, and can power on the device when the ignition is switched on. To use this feature, a power extension cable with ignition sense wires must be used and installed properly on the vehicle. The cable in the following illustration is the power extension cable (p/n CA1220) with two wires used to connect to vehicle ignition. The red and black leads of the two 18AWG wires that connect to the key switch of the ignition and ground, respectively. Once the wires are connected, the VC8300 may switch on or off depending on the state of the vehicle ignition key. See VC Settings on page 62 to select power settings. IMPORTANT: When connecting to an ignition switch using the power extension cable with ignition sense wires, ensure that the wires of different polarities are reliably secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. A minimum distance of 2.8mm (or 0.4mm distance through insulation) is required for the separation. The thinner wires (18 AWG) are used for Ignition Sense wires while the thicker wires (14AWG) are used for Vehicle Power and Ground. Identify them carefully and Do Not confuse them. An appropriate fuse type must be used with the power extension cable according to the installation instructions. For the main power cable, use 3AB, 15A, 250V, slow blow fuse. For ignition sense input, use 3AB, 0.3A, 250V, slow blow fuse. Figure 10 Power Extension Cable Kit with Optional Ignition Sense Wires (p/n CA1220)
Wiring for Screen Blanking
To use screen blanking, connect one of the two DB9 serial ports (using CA1300 Screen Blanking cable) on the device to a switch. Activate this switch electrically (for example, motion sensor) or mechanically (for example, pedal switch) when the vehicle is in motion.

IMPORTANT:
For customers migrating to the VC8300 from an Zebra 8515, 8525, 8535 vehicle mount computer, or a 753x hand-held computer cradle:
· If the screen blanking feature was used previously, ensure that you are no longer feeding the screen blanking signals to the VC8300 main DC power cable. Rewire the screen blanking inputs to the VC8300 DB-9 serial port through the DB-9 screen blanking cable. In previous generations of vehicle-mount computers, the screen blanking signals were fed into the terminal through 2 of the 4 wires in the CPC connector of the DC power cable. This no longer applies to the VC8300.
· The screen blanking feature makes use of either one of the DB-9 ports to monitor electrical relay closure. When enabled, the CTS/RTS pins of the DB9 port are continuously monitored by the screen blanking application.
· When the vehicle is in motion, the switch closes the circuit, allowing data packets to be sent or received through the RTS and CTS pins. The computer detects that the circuit is closed and turns off the screen.
· When the vehicle is not in motion, the switch opens the circuit, preventing data packets from being sent or received. The computer detects that the circuit is open and turns on the screen.

Data Capture
Data Capture
This section provides information for capturing barcode data using various scanning options. The VC8300 supports scanners that use the Human Interface Device (HID) and Simple Serial Interface (SSI) protocols. In HID mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 like entering characters on a keyboard. In SSI mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 in packets which can be ASCII data or as part of a larger message. The device supports data capture using: · Tethered serial scanner connected to COM1 or COM2 port:
· DS3508-ER, HD, SR · DS3608-SR, ER, HP, HD · LI3608-SR · LS3408-ER, FZ · Other tethered serial scanners. · Tethered USB scanner connected to a USB host port: · DS3508-ER, HD, SR (HID mode only) · DS3608-SR, ER, HP, HD (HID and SSI modes) · LI3608-SR (HID mode only) · LS3408-ER, FZ (HID mode only) · Other USB scanners (HID mode only). · Wireless scanner connected via Bluetooth: · DS3678-SR, ER, HP, HD (HID and SSI modes) · LI3678-SR (HID mode only) · LS3578-ER, SR, HD, FZ (HID mode only) · DS3578-SR, ER, HD (HID mode only) · RS507/RS507x (HID and SSI modes) · RS5100 (HID and SSI modes) · RS6000 (HID and SSI modes) · Other Bluetooth scanners (HID mode only).

Data Capture
Imaging
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features: · Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, Digimarc, 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 cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation. The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation. Activate each mode by pressing Scan. · Decode mode -- The device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a barcode.
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command. · Pick List mode -- Selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the device's field
of view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this feature for pick lists containing multiple barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).
NOTE: To enable Basic MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command. · Basic MultiBarcode Mode -- In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode a specific number
of unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes all the barcodes. · The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 100). · If there are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the duplicate barcodes
is decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has two duplicate barcodes plus another two different barcodes, a maximum of three barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be ignored as a duplicate. · Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together. For example, if the specified quantity for a Basic MultiBarcode scan is four, two barcodes can be symbology type Code 128 and the other two can be symbology type Code 39. · If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in view of the device, the device will not decode any data until the device is moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If the device field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified quantity, the device randomly decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of unique barcodes is reached. For example, if the count is set to two and eight barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the first two unique barcodes it sees, returning the data in random order. · Basic MultiBarcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.
65

Data Capture
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance: · Range -- Scanners decode best over a particular working range -- minimum and maximum distances
from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan within range for 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 barcodes being scanned. · Angle -- Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not 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 device farther away for larger symbols. · Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets. 1. Go to Settings. 2. Touch Network & Internet > Wi-Fi . 3.

The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is targeted at applications in the healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. It provides reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining standard Bluetooth range.
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.
94

Wireless

· 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.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 1 device power class. The maximum output power is 7.5 mW and the expected range is 30 m (98.4 ft). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether in 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.
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 required 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 used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN 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 or passkey 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 do not store the PIN codes in the device
· Implement application-level security.
