TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this workbook is to help you master the basic elements of RF Barcode Scanning.
It is designed as a self-help tool, consisting of step-by-step explanations and examples. Fill-in-
the-blank and multiple-choice exercises will follow each topic. This will help emphasize the
knowledge necessary for successful use of the Bar Code technology in your warehouse.
You are encouraged to use this training book in combination with your AutoPower applications
database, or by using the examples in this workbook. However, all the examples may not be
hands-on. I will let you know what these hands-on examples are when we get to them.
In combination with this workbook, you will use a PC RF Scanner to follow along with the
exercises in this workbook.
When you have completed the exercises in this Workbook you will be able to complete all the
modules below accurately. You will be measured by completing short fill-in the blanks or
multiple-choice questions at the end of each lesson.
Tasks
Understanding Manual/Automatic Modes on the RF Scan Gun
Understanding Stock Inquiry Manual/Scan Input
Receive PO using the RF Scanner Manual/Scan Input
Printing Product Labels
Assigning Bar Codes to Part Numbers
Assigning Bin Location to Part Numbers
Creating/Editing a Purchase Order from Scan Gun
Performing a Physical Inventory/Cycle Count using Scan Gun

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Before we get started there are only a few areas of the system that the Escape key, Backspace
key, Space Bar and the Delete key can be used. When we get to these areas of the application
they will be pointed out to you. These keys cause control characters in some of the data records
and should not be used except where we tell you they can be used.
Recording information manually is often one of the most time-consuming and inaccurate
functions performed in the warehouse. While there are a number of traditional ways of
capturing information, the problems with these methods are the time it takes to record the
information, the cost it takes to translate the information and record it, and the risk of errors in
manually counting and receiving.
Radio frequency scanner software enables you to record the data into the system while still in
the warehouse. By using its unique scanning feature, the risk of errors by manual entry is greatly
reduced.

RF SCANNER OVERVIEW
How can the RF Scanner Gun read a Barcode?
Actually, the scanner doesn’t read the black bars on a barcode. The scanner has a laser which
projects a beam; the beam is then moved across the barcode, usually through reflecting the
laser with a multi-faced mirror which is rotated by a motor. The laser bounces off the white
spaces between the bars on the barcode, and is picked up by a light receptor within the unit
which converts the light to a digital signal that the computer can read.
To Perform a Warm Boot on the Motorola MC9090
1. Press and hold the red power button usually after five seconds until “warm boot” is
displayed.
To Perform a Cold Boot on the Motorola MC9090: Resets the OS settings, restores the
network adapter, etc. (but clears all profiles)
1. Press the primary battery release on the RF Scanner to partially eject the battery
2. On an MC9090-G, while the battery is partially released, simultaneously press and
release the trigger and the power button.
3. Push the battery to fully re-insert it into the RF Scanner. A click can be heard as the
battery is fully inserted.
4. The RF Scanner will perform a cold boot and be initialized.
MAINTAINING THE RF SCAN GUN
•Protect the Scan Gun from extreme temperatures. Do not leave it on the dashboard of a
car on a hot day, and keep it away from heat sources.
•Do not store the Scan Gun in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.
•Use a soft lens cloth to clean the Scan gun. If the surface of its screen becomes soiled,
clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
•Take care not to scratch the screen on the Scan Gun. When working with the Scan Gun,
use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive
screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the
Scan Gun.
•The touch-sensitive screen of the Scan Gun contains glass. Take care not to drop the
Scan Gun or subject it to strong impact.
•Periodically replace the rechargeable Li-ion battery to ensure maximum battery life and
product performance. Battery life depends on individual usage patterns.

SCANNING
To scan a barcode point the scan window at the label and press the trigger on the RF Scan Gun.
The scan window must have a clear view of the barcode for it to be read successfully. Hold the
RF scanner so that the red scan beam crosses the entire barcode horizontally. The Scan LED light
changes from red to green when the RF scanner beeps, indicating a successful read. To ensure
optimum scanning ability, avoid touching the scan window and keep barcode labels free from
smudges and stray marks.
How can I turn down the beeping noise (volume) when I scan a part?
Hold the blue button and press the letter “M” on the scan gun. This will turn down the volume
of the beeping on the scan gun.
How can I turn up the beeping noise (volume) when I scan a part?
Hold the blue button and press the letter “H” on the scan gun. This will turn up the volume of
the beeping on the scan gun.
How can I Enable or Disable the character key repeat on the RF Gun Keyboard for
model Motorola Mc9190 RF Gun?
•From the Bar Code Menu on the RF Gun, type in the letter “T” to drop to TCL
•An Options Button is shown on the top left corner of the screen
•Tap the Options button> My Device Icon> Control Panel Icon > Keyboard Icon
•The Keyboard Icon will display a window with the Repeat Tab
