1 - 2 RS507 Hands-Free Imager Product Reference Guide Introduction The RS507 Hands-Free Imager (also referred to as the Imager) is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. The Imager is also compatible with a wide range of mobile computers communicating over Bluetooth.
Getting Started 1 - 5 Trigger Swivel Assembly - Change Trigger Position The Imager is worn on the index and middle fingers, and triggered with the thumb. The Trigger Swivel Assembly of the Imager rotates to provide left-hand or right-hand use. To change the position of the Trigger: From the bottom of Imager, hold and pull the Comfort Pad off the Imager.
Before using the Imager, charge the battery. The SAC5070 8-Bay Battery Charger supports both standard and extended capacity batteries. To charge the Imager battery, refer to the SAC5070 8-Bay Battery Charger Quick Reference Guide, p/n 72-115989-01 available at: www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/manuals and search for 'SAC5070'. Install the Battery Align the battery on top of the Imager.
Getting Started 1 - 7 Finger Strap Wearing the Imager - Cordless Adapter Figure 1-6 Getting Started - Corded Configuration In order to start using the Imager you must install the Corded Adapter. Connect the Corded Adapter To connect the Corded Adapter: Align the Corded Adapter on top of the Imager.

1 - 10 RS507 Hands-Free Imager Product Reference Guide Status Indications The Imager has two Scan LEDs that provide identical indications. The Imager is also equipped with a beeper that issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate status. Table 1-2 defines the LED and beep sequences indications that occur during normal operation and bar code scanning.
Getting Started 1 - 11 Bluetooth Connection Establish Bluetooth Connection To establish Bluetooth connection with a mobile computer: Ensure that the Imager is within a range of 10 meters (30 feet) from the mobile computer. Install the battery in the Imager. Launch the Bluetooth Device (BD) address application (see Figure 1-11) from the mobile computer.
1 - 12 RS507 Hands-Free Imager Product Reference Guide Figure 1-12 Pairing Bar Code Example as Shown on the Mobile Computer Screen The Scan LED starts flashing green indicating that the Imager is attempting to establish connection with a mobile computer. NOTE If the Imager default PIN code is required for establishing connection, enter the following code: "12345".
Getting Started 1 - 13 To remove Bluetooth connection: Scan an un-pairing bar code for disconnecting the Imager from the mobile computer. Un-pairing Bar Code Figure 1-13 The Imager emits one string of high/low beeps indicating that Bluetooth communication with the mobile computer is disconnected.
1 - 14 RS507 Hands-Free Imager Product Reference Guide Scan The Imager uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and software decoding algorithms are executed to extract the bar code data from the image. Scan Triggering Modes Manual Triggering (Triggered models only) Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.
Getting Started 1 - 15 Aiming the Imager The aiming pattern of the Imager is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 1-15). The virtual rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the Imager. The aiming pattern is used to position the bar code within the field of view.
1 - 16 RS507 Hands-Free Imager Product Reference Guide When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 1-15).The top examples in Figure 1-17 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.
Getting Started 1 - 17 Changing Triggerless to Triggered Configuration To change from Triggerless to Triggered configuration: Remove the Comfort Pad (see Comfort Pad Replacement on page 3-3). Remove the Triggerless Strap Holder (see Triggerless Strap Holder Replacement on page 3-6).
