FAQs

Q: What does the "Hot Swap" feature do?

A: Hot Swap lets you swap a low battery for a fresh, fully charged one without turning the computer off. Your business applications stay open, and you will not lose your place or any active data during the switch.

Q: What is the difference between 2-Pin and 8-Pin Back I/O configurations?

A: These are the small metal connection pins on the back of the device used to attach physical hardware add-ons.

• 2-Pin Setup: Designed for standard, charge-only desktop or multi-slot cradles.
• 8-Pin Setup: Built with extra data paths for advanced accessories by letting the device link directly to a Zebra RFID sled reader (such as the RFD40 series) via an eConnex adapter for instant data communication.

Q: What is a "Secure Element"?

A: A Secure Element is a dedicated, tamper-proof security chip built directly into the computer's hardware. It acts like an isolated digital safe to lock away your company’s sensitive passwords, login info, and secret encryption keys from bad actors.

Q: What are the differences between the scan engine choices?

A: The scanner is the built-in hardware tool used to read barcodes, and you can pick the target distance that matches your workload:

• SR500 (Standard Range): Perfect for reading barcodes up close, like checking a price tag or scanning a package right in front of you.
• AC670 (Advanced Range): Built for longer distances, letting workers easily scan barcodes from farther away, like reading an item code placed high up on a warehouse shelf.
