Charging the Battery
CAUTION
.
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the MC75 for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status LED remains lit (see
Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charge status indications). To charge the MC75, use a cable or a cradle
The MC75 is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery. When using the MC75 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 hours to fully charge.
This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature) when the MC75's main battery is removed. When the MC75 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.
To charge the main battery, use either a charging cable or a cradle. For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures refer to the MC75 Integrator Guide.
• Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
• Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
• Four Slot Charge Only Cradle
• Vehicle Cradle.
To charge the main battery:
1.
Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2.
Insert the MC75 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The MC75 begins charging. The Charging/Battery Status
LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-2
for charging indications.

See
Chapter 6, Accessories for information on using accessories to change spare batteries.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC75.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC75 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC75 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
Powering On the MC75
Press the Power button to turn on the MC75. If the MC75 does not power on perform a warm boot. See
Resetting the MC75 on page 2-15

2 - 34 MC75 User Guide
Data Capture
The MC75 offers three types of data capture options:
• Linear scanning
• Imaging
• Digital camera.
NOTE
To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC75. A sample scanning application can be downloaded from the Zebra Support site at http://www.zebra.com/support.
Linear Scanning
MC75 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features:
• Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
• Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
MC75 with an integrated imager have the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, 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 for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
MC75 with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pulling the trigger or pressing the Scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC75 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the trigger, or until it decodes a bar code.
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the web site at http://www.zebra.com/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the MC75’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
• Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC75’s field of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.
Using the MC75 2 - 35
Digital Camera
MC75 with an integrated digital camera have the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The camera uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings 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 bar codes being scanned.
• Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t 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 MC75 farther away for larger symbols.
• Move the MC75 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE
Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC75 configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Chapter 3 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The MC75 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals.
These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.
WARNING
!
When using the MC75 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing, downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC75. Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
MC75 GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled MC75 uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.
By default, the MC75 has the following Settings:
1.
2.
3.
Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to None.
In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to COM8.
3 - 2 MC75 User Guide
To access the GPS receiver from multiple programs simultaneously, the user can either use the Microsoft GPS API or change the GPS program port setting and access the GPS program port in the multiplexed way.
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC75 being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC75 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC75 suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS navigation software:
1.
2.
3.
Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the MC75.
Insert the microSD card into the slot.
Replace the Memory Card Cover.
Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS
If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
1.
Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
2.
Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC75 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the MC75 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the MC75 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC75 where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC75 and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.
Assisted GPS
NOTE
On devices with OEM version 03.38.0004, to configure the MC75 to obtain GPS data from a SUPL server see
Assisted GPS on page C-19 for more information.
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically
Using GPS Navigation 3 - 3 improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the MC75 to communicate with a location server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the MC75.
3 - 4 MC75 User Guide
Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band
(802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption.
MC75s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the MC75 as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC75.
Zebra mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program Bluetooth within the MC75 refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.
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.
• 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.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Zebra mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
4 - 2 MC75 User Guide
The Bluetooth radio in this MC75 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures 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 needed 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 that is used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN number 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 number or passkey that is 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 don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer
• Implement application-level security.
Using Bluetooth 4 - 3
Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
NOTE
On devices with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, turn the Bluetooth radio on or off using the Wireless Manager. Tap the
Status bar and select the Connectivity icon. Tap Wireless Manager.
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the MC75. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity.
NOTE To achieve the best battery life turn off radios not in use.

Smart Dialing makes it easy to dial a phone number. When you start entering numbers or characters, Smart Dialing automatically searches and sorts the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call
History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial.
Open the Phone screen, then tap the keys on the Phone keypad that correspond to the phone number or contact to call. The contact panel lists contacts that match the sequence that you entered.
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence entered.
To find a phone number:
• Enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call History.
• Enter the first three digits or more to find a phone number from the saved Contacts and SIM card.
Using the Phone 5 - 9
To find a contact name:
• Enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or last name. Smart Dialing searches for the letter starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Smith, Bernard”,
“Adams, John”, “Carlson, Eileen”, “Dillon, Albert”, “Childs, Larry”, “Cooper, Robert” and “Parks, Celine”.
• If the matching list is long narrow down the search further by entering another letter. Using the same example above, tap “3” which is associated with (d, e, f), the matching list is narrowed down to the following names: “Smith, Bernard”, “Adams, John”, and “Parks, Celine”.

Appendix B Voice Quality Manager
Introduction
The Voice Quality Manager (VQM) is a software package that resides on the MC75. VQM enables a set of features for Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) calls, and a sub-set of those features for cellular line (GSM or CDMA) calls. The VQM user interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, so complex tasks such as enabling the Acoustic Echo
Canceller (AEC) while a call is in progress are done with very little or no user intervention.
Features
The VQM software:
•
•
•
•
•
Improves the voice transmission quality without using additional battery power.
Turns on the AEC for VoWiFi calls automatically, without user intervention.
Prioritizes the outgoing audio IP packets.
Provides user-selectable audio modes (speakerphone and handset) with a single tap of the VQM icon. A
VQM icon in the title bar of the device indicates the audio mode currently in use.
NDIS 5.1 compliant.
Enabling VQM
To enable VQM:
1.
Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer.
2.
3.
4.
Navigate to the Windows folder.
Locate the file VQMAudioNotify.
Tap the filename to enable VQM.

If the audio mode is set to speakerphone and the user taps the VQM icon, the audio mode changes to handset.
If the user is using a Bluetooth headset, tapping the VQM icon un-pairs the Bluetooth headset from the device causing the audio to be routed to the default mode. In VQM 2.5, there is no way to go back to the Bluetooth headset using the VQM icon if it is un-paired The only way to reconnect the Bluetooth headset to the device is by using the BTExplorer application.
If the user taps the VQM icon when a wired headset is connected to the mobile device, the audio mode does not change. The audio continues to get routed to the wired headset.
If the user taps the VQM icon while not on a call there is not change to the audio mode.
Tap and hold the VQM icon in the title bar to display a notification dialog box that contains:

B - 4 MC75 User Guide
Voice Packet Prioritization
IP soft phones transmit voice packets in the same manner as any other application that sends data over the network. On a network with different types of traffic, voice packets are given the same priority as any other traffic, and therefore may be subject to delays.
WiFi Multi-media (WMM) is a solution to this problem. WMM is a specification that supports prioritizing traffic, and
“higher-priority” packets can be given preferential treatment.
To make use of WMM, the devices that generate traffic must mark their packets as high or normal priority in a field in the IP packet called Differentiated Services Code-Point (DSCP). The wireless infrastructure, which must be configured to support WMM, gives a higher priority to packets that have been marked as high priority through
DSCP marking by the devices that generate traffic.
VQM detects if there is an ongoing Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) call, and if so, marks outgoing voice packets (Only outgoing voice packets can be marked. The incoming voice packets have already been through the network, so it makes no sense to mark them.) as high-priority using DSCP. This enables WMM-compatible wireless infrastructure to treat the voice packets preferentially. This results in fewer delays for voice packets, which in turn improves the call quality.
Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Acoustic Echo occurs during a voice call when the audio from the earpiece enters the microphone of the same device. This results in the person at the other end hearing back a delayed version of his/her own voice (“Echo”).
Needless to say, “Echo” is not desirable, and needs to be suppressed. This is the functionality performed by the
Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC). There are two approaches to suppressing the Echo:
•
•
Turn the Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) on permanently. This approach is not very efficient because the device consumes more power when the AEC is on.
Turn the Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) on only when there is an ongoing call.
VQM follows the second of the two approaches mentioned above.
VQM automatically turns on the Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) when the mobile device is in a VoWiFi call. When the call is terminated, VQM turns the AEC off. Note that the AEC is turned on for speakerphone and handset modes and does not get turned on for wired headset and Bluetooth headset modes. The AEC is not required for wired headset because the audio volume is quite low (because of the proximity of the earpiece to the ear), and therefore it is very unlikely for the audio from the earpiece to go in to the mouthpiece. Bluetooth headsets typically have an Echo Canceller built in. Turning the AEC on only while on a call saves battery power, compared to leaving the AEC turned on permanently.
The AEC is not turned on for Cellular calls because the WWAN phone application has a built-in echo canceller.
Limitations
•
•
There is no VPN support in VQM.
Only the Avaya softphone is supported.
Disabling VQM
To disable VQM perform a warm boot.

API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls
Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.
Application Programming Interface. See API.
ANSI Terminal. A display terminal that follows commands in the ANSI standard terminal language. For example, it uses escape sequences to control the cursor, clear the screen and set colors. Communications programs support the ANSI terminal mode and often default to this terminal emulation for dial-up connections to online services.
ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.
Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.
B
Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.
Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.
Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).
Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.
Glossary - 2 MC75 User Guide
Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.
BIOS. Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.
The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
BOOTP. A protocol for remote booting of diskless devices. Assigns an IP address to a machine and may specify a boot file.
The client sends a bootp request as a broadcast to the bootp server port (67) and the bootp server responds using the bootp client port (68). The bootp server must have a table of all devices, associated MAC addresses and IP addresses.
boot or boot-up
The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software.
bps. See Bits Per Second.
Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.
C
CDMA. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a form of multiplexing and a method of multiple access that does not divide up the channel by time (as in TDMA), or frequency (as in FDMA), but instead encodes data with a special code associated with each channel and uses the constructive interference properties of the special codes to perform the multiplexing.
CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.
CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even if all laser output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.
CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class poses no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.
Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.
Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.
Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded.
Glossary - 3
Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (“-”, “$”,
“:”, “/”, “,” and “+”).
Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.
Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special characters (“-”, “.”, “/”, “+”, “%”, “$” and space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.
Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.
Code Length. Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters.
Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries.
COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2.
Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Cradle. A cradle is used for charging the terminal battery and for communicating with a host computer, and provides a storage place for the terminal when not in use.
D
Data Communications Equipment (DCE). A device (such as a modem) which is designed to attach directly to a DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) device.
DCE. See Data Communications Equipment.
DCP. See Device Configuration Package.

T
TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end.
UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely used for real-time voice and video transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.

Glossary - 11
U
UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and error notification must be written into the applications.
