Page 69
Note that when the HC700-G is held closer to the bar code the aiming pattern appears smaller and when held farther from the bar code it appears larger. Bar code symbols with dense symbol elements should be read closer to the HC700-G while large bar HC700-G with larger symbol elements should be read at a larger distance (Depth-of-Focus) from the HC700-G.
Scanning Barcodes Angle The angle of the bar code in relation to the imager is a factor in reading performance. The device is designed to read typical bar code over a range of side angles from about -40° to +40°. Note: When adjusting your position, you may rotate the wrist left or wright and pitch by dropping or lifting the wrist.

You can create a Bluetooth partnership with a Bluetooth-enabled printer, and then set up an outgoing COM port (for example, COM 7).
ActiveSync allows the HC700-G to be synchronized with a PC over USB. The program synchronizes Personal Information Manager (PIM) data such as Microsoft Outlook, along with Internet surfing. ActiveSync enables the manual transfer of files between the HC700-G and a PC and the ability to install and uninstall mobile device applications.
ActiveSync (USB) Connectivity request you to point to the HC700-G USB driver provided with this product. The HC700 USB driver can also be downloaded from MOTODEV web site (https://developer.motorola.com/?path=1.870). Host PC Personal Desktop Cradle PC USB Port HC700-G USB Port ActiveSync - USB Connectivity FIGURE 49.
Important note: The HC700-G power-down timer is reset each time you synchronize. If you schedule a synchronization interval that is shorter than the time interval set for the HC700-G to automatically power down, the HC700-G will never turn off to save battery power.
You can sync directly with Exchange Server using a connection to either a wireless network or a PC. In ActiveSync on the HC700-G, tap Menu > Configure Server. If you have not yet set up sync with Exchange Server, this will say Add Server Source.
What happens to my information when I synchronize with multiple computers? You can set up your HC700-G to synchronize with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized.
Mobile workbooks, and Notes. To synchronize files, select the Files information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The <device name> My Documents folder is created on the desktop of your PC. Place all files you want to synchronize with the HC700-G in this folder. Password-protected files cannot be synchronized.
• Messages in the Outbox folder on your HC700-G are transferred to Exchange Server or Outlook and then sent from those programs. • When you delete a message on your HC700-G, it's deleted from your PC or Exchange Server the next time you synchronize.
ActiveSync can help you manage your e-mail by eliminating your main e-mail address when you reply to all senders from the HC700-G. This can reduce the number of e-mails you receive and synchronize by ensuring that you do not receive your own e-mail.
Troubleshoot an ActiveSync cable connection Troubleshoot as described here if you are using a USB cable to connect your HC700-G to the PC, and ActiveSync does not recognize the HC700-G or the program stops responding (or hangs) while connecting to ActiveSync. Troubleshooting is often a matter of systematically testing the possible solutions, usually beginning with the simplest for speed and convenience and then moving on to more complex solution tasks.

CHAPTER 9 HC700-G Diagnostics Application The Diagnostic application is used to troubleshoot the HC700-G and isolate problems at assembly or component level. Using the application helps to determine if a problem originates from the hardware platform or software system and plan corrective action. Corrective action may include battery replacement, replacement of the miniSD card, cleaning of the imager window or cradle interface connector, memory cleanup or software patch/image installation.

HC700-G before storage. Cleaning If the battery contacts, screen or surface of the HC700-G become dirty, use a soft lint cloth moistened with solution to remove dirt. Before using any of the materials detailed below, refer to the safety instructions shown on the product’s label or package.
The cradle (HCC700-8, -4) is a network access point for all docked HC700-G units. The HC700-G exchanges data with a server or a host computer through the cradle is also used to charge the HC700-G. The HC700-G cradle is available in four (see Figure 51) and eight docking bay versions.
Whenever the cradle is connected to the network the cradle acquires separate IP address for itself and for each one of its bays (note that IP address is assigned to a bay and not to a HC700-G inside a bay).
4 and 8 Bay Charging/Communication Cradles When a bay is empty, the corresponding bay LEDs should be off. When you insert a HC700-G into a bay, its "CHARGE" LED will turn on slow blinking amber (every 1.5 second) indicating that the HC700-G is properly docked and after a while the LED will start indicating the battery charge status.

HC700 Vehicle Cradle When routing the power cable to the Cradle, it is important to use as much cable as needed and cut off the remainder. Using the exact cable length ensures proper power supply to the Cradle. Make sure that the power cable is equipped with a 5 Amp UL approved fast acting fuse (Littelfuse 297 005 or equiva- lent).
The USB Cable is designed to adapt to the bottom of the HC700-G. The Pocket side of the USB cable is connected to the Cradle Interface Connector of the HC700-G. At the other end, the USB cable connects to the USB port of a personal computer.
