7.10 Bluetooth Peripherals
If the 7530 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, it is possible to communicate with a
variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers,
and so on. The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 7530 is limited to approximately
2 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS tri-band universal handset
• Bluetooth printer
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz
band. Although the 7530 includes features to minimize interference, performance of
the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically,
when both radios operate in the 7530 at the same time, they cannot transmit
simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To
minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix
recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as
printers and scanners).
Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer
to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 106 for information about setting up your Bluetooth
devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your
Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the 7530 host.
7.11 The 7530 Picker Cradle
The 7530 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it
provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the 7530 securely even when
operated in high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped with
suspensions).
The7530 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module and
a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the
hand-held picker cradles, and the 7530 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.
