Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field – either in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.
Illumination LEDs will flash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.
3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
Tethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it.
An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.
To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7535:
• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should be aligned.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
To remove the peripheral:
• Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the connector.
Figure 3.10 Disconnecting The Tether Cable
Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell.
3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Under normal operating conditions, the battery lasts for a full 8-hour shift. As
Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7535 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
