IP4 Portable RFID Reader Instructions 3Introducing the IP4 Portable RFID ReaderThe IP4 Portable RFID Reader is an accessory handle for the 700 Series Color mobile computers. Together, the IP4 and 700 Color provide a high-performance mobile RFID solution that allows you to bring the read/write device to the tagged product rather than moving tagged products past a fixed reader.What You Get• IP4 Portable RFID Reader• Battery (Model AB12)• Product documentationUsing the IP4To use the IP4, you need to perform these steps:1Charge and install the battery.2Attach your IP4 to a 700 Color.3(Optional) Configure your IP4 as a keyboard wedge.4Read an RFID tag.These instructions describe each step.Charging and Installing the BatteryTo charge the IP4 battery, you need the Dual Pack Battery Charger (Model AC12).To charge the IP4 battery• Insert the battery into a slot on the AC12 battery charger. A fully discharged battery charges in less than 4 hours.del 700 terminalmention terminalsCK61CN3 CN3e

IP4 Portable RFID Reader Instructions 5Attaching Your IP4 to a 700 ColorYour IP4 uses Infrared Data Association (IrDA) to communicate with the 700 Color. The lightpipe in the IP4 helps communicate the IrDA signal between the 700 Color and your IP4.To attach your IP4 to a 700 Color1Slide the 700 Color into the IP4 until it clicks into place.Note: Do not remove the lightpipe from the IP4.Lightpipechg diagramsconsider addingseperate CK61 and CN3 installed diagrams
6 IP4 Portable RFID Reader Instructions2Secure the retaining screws, making sure that they are inserted straight into the 700 Color.To remove your IP4 from a 700 Color1Remove the two retaining screws.2Hold the 700 Color at the display.3While lifting the 700 Color up (away from the IP4), pull the 700 Color forward and out of the IP4.(Optional) Configuring Your IP4 as a Keyboard WedgeYou can configure your IP4 as a keyboard wedge to allow the 700 Color to receive data from your IP4 as it would from a keyboard.To use your IP4 as a keyboard wedge, the 700 Color and your IP4 must meet these requirements:• The 700 Color must have at least 64MB of flash ROM.• The fifth character in the configuration number (CN) found on the back of the 700 Color must not be a 4 or 5. For example:•751B6xxxx meets this requirement.•760A4xxxx does not meet this requirement.chg or delIP30 does not require screws for attachmentdelkeyboard wedge discussion
IP4 Portable RFID Reader Instructions 7• The 700 Color must be running one of these operating systems (OS):• 4.95.1 or later Prem (Premium)• 4.96.4 or later GSM Phone • If the fourth character in the configuration number (CN) of your IP4 is an “A”:• The 700 Color must be running IVA 4.03.35.1043 or later.• Your IP4 must be running firmware version 5.19 or later.• If the fourth character in the configuration number (CN) of your IP4 is an “B”:• The 700 Color must be running IVA 4.03.35.1050 or later.• Your IP4 must be running firmware version 7.16 or later.To configure your IP4 as a keyboard wedge1Fully charge your IP4 battery and attach your IP4 to a 700 Color.2On the 700 Color, start Intermec Settings.3Select RFID > Reader 1, and select Enable Reader.4Under Reader 1, select Reader Module > Ta g Typ e , and select the type of RFID tag you are using.5From the main Intermec Settings menu, select Device Settings > Keypad > Scan Button Remapping > Handle Trigg er, and select RFID.6Save your settings.Note: Use Intermec Settings to find the OS and IVA versions of the 700 Color.

8 IP4 Portable RFID Reader InstructionsTo test the keyboard wedge1Start Microsoft Pocket Word.2Read an RFID tag. For help, see the next section.The RFID tag information appears in Pocket Word.Reading an RFID TagYou can scan at least six RFID tags per second with the IP4. To read an RFID tag1Position the front of the IP4 within 91 cm (3 ft) of an RFID tag.2Pull the trigger.Note: Continuously reading tags with the IP4 may cause the IP4 to overheat. If the IP4 temperature rises above the maximum operating temperature, the IP4 will stop reading tags. If this occurs, let the IP4 cool down until its temperature is within the operating temperature range.RF Exposure regulations limit exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation. To comply with these regulations, operators of this device must maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in) from the cover on the antenna assembly. (The cover on the antenna is the dome-shaped surface.) While the device is on, the operator’s body and parts of the body such as eyes, hands, or head, must be 20 cm (8 in) or farther from the cover of the antenna assembly.Avertissement: Les réglementations sur les expositions RF limitent l'exposition aux rayonnements RF. Pour se conformer à ces réglementations, les opérateurs de ce dispositif doivent maintenir une distance minimale de 20 cm du couvercle de l'antenne. (Le couvercle de l'antenne est la surface bombée.) Lorsque l'appareil est sous tension, le corps et les parties du corps (yeux, mains, tête) de l'opérateur doivent être à au moins 20 cm du couvercle de l'antenne.RF safe distance may need correction.initial distance repl 20 cm (8 in)with23 cm (9 in)TBD
IP4 Portable RFID Reader Instructions 9Understanding the IP4 LEDsYour IP4 uses LEDs to indicate the status of certain operations.IP4 LEDs: The IP4 LEDs are located on the back of the IP4.IP4 LED DescriptionsIcon LED DescriptionPower (PWR) This LED is green when +5 power is on and the IP4 is ready to read tags.Host Communications (HOST COMM)This LED is green when data communication with the host is active.RF Power On (RF ON) This LED is green when RF power is on.Tag Communications (TAG COMM)This LED turns green after the IP4 successfully reads an RFID tag.Battery(BATT)This LED indicates the status of the battery:• Red: The battery is low (less than 20% capacity).• Green: The battery is fully charged (more than 80% capacity).• Orange: The battery is charged (from 20% to 80% capacity).LEDsreplace withIP30 placements
