Introduction
The WSS 1000 is a wearable data entry system consisting
of a laser bar code scanner, usually worn on the
operator’s fingers or back of hand, and a wrist computer
(WWC 1000) worn on the operator’s forearm.
The detachable components work equally well for right-
and left-handed individuals. Detachable personal mounts
allow multiple operators to share both scanner and wrist
computer without having to use the same mount.
About This Guide
This guide presents information on system components,
assembling the WWC 1000, battery installation and
charging, attaching the system, using the keyboard, and
disassembly for use by others. For wearable scanner
information, refer to the WSS 1000 Product Reference
Guide, or the Quick Reference Guide provided with your
scanner.

Installing and Charging the Battery
The wrist computer and scanner are powered by a
Lithium-Ion battery pack. The pack provides power for
a typical 8-hour shift.

fully charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack.
To install the battery pack in the WWC 1000:
1. Insert the battery pack, base first, in the battery
compartment.
2. Line up the pack’s locking mechanism with the
notch in the battery compartment wall by sliding
the battery latch, and press the pack into place.
3. Release the battery latch to lock in place.

Charging the Battery in WWC 1000
To charge the Lithium-Ion battery in the WWC 1000:
1. Place the WWC 1000 in the cradle as shown be-
low:
2. The cradle’s CHARGING light illuminates (RED)
if the WWC 1000 is properly seated and the bat-
tery is charging.
3. The battery requires approximately 2 hours to
charge fully. The CHARGING light changes to
GREEN when the battery is fully charged.
4. To remove the WWC 1000 from the cradle, tilt the
WWC 1000 upward and pull out.
For more information on the CS 1000 Cradle, re-
fer to the CS 1000 Single-Slot Cradle QRG, p/n
70-16237-xx, or the CS 1000 4-Slot Cradle QRG,
p/n 70-17661-xx.

Charging the Spare Battery
Spare battery packs can be charged separate from the
WWC 1000. To charge a spare battery pack in the cradle:
1. Insert the pack in the cradle’s spare charging slot.
2. The CHARGING light illuminates red.
3. The spare pack is charged in approximately two
hours, even if the WWC 1000 is charging at the
same time. The CHARGING light changes to
green when the battery is fully charged.

Assembling the WSS 1000 System
To assemble the WWC 1000 (wrist computer):
1. Place the WWC 1000 wrist computer onto the
wrist mount, facing you. Be sure the mount is ori-
ented so that the longer strap will be further up the
forearm.
2. Snap the bar over the WWC 1000 using the snaps
on either side of the mount. The straight part of the
bar should lay across the front of the WWC 1000;
the curved part in back.

Note: The snaps on the wrist mount act as a tear-
away device allowing the wrist computer to
detach from the mount if it catches on an
object.
3. Plug the cable connector from the WWC 1000 in
the interface port on the back of the scanner.
4. Place the WWC 1000 on your arm:
a. Slide the wrist mount on your arm, so that the
WWC 1000 wrist computer faces you.

b. Pull the straps through the buckles so the wrist
mount is secure but not tight.
c. Use the Velcro to secure the straps.
5. Assemble and mount your scanner. See your scan-
ner’s Quick Reference Guide, or the WSS 1000
Product Reference Guide.

Communicating with the Host
Using the Cradle
The CS 1000 cradle is used to perform communications
with a host PC. To set up the cradle for operation:
1. Plug one end of a null modem cable (p/n 59846-
03-00) into the communications port located on
the left end of the cradle.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the host com-
puter’s serial (COMM) port.
3. Provide power to the cradle by plugging the power
supply’s round connector into the power port on
the cradle and the other end of the power cable in
an electrical outlet.
4. Insert the WWC 1000 in the cradle (the ring scan-
ner can be attached).
5. Start the communications program as detailed in
the WSS 1000 Product Reference Guide.
Radio Communications
Wireless communication with the host is available
through the Spectrum Oneor Spectrum24 radio
network. For information on performing radio
communications, refer to the WSS 1000 Product
Reference Guide.

Data Entry
Using the Keyboard
The keyboard consists of two types of keys:
alphanumeric character keys and modifier keys. Most
keys are self-explanatory. Some guidelines for using the
keyboard include:
• Press keys one at a time. Pressing two keys simul-
taneously produces an error.
• The default keyboard produces numbers; to pro-
duce letters, press the left Alpha Shift and the ap-
propriate key to produce the letters in purple,
and the right Alpha Shift to produce the letters
in green, as shown below.
• Use the modifier keys, FUNC, SHIFT, and CTRL,
in combination with the character keys to produce
other characters or to issue commands. Refer to
Right Alpha Shift
Left Alpha Shift

documentation for your application for more in-
formation.
• Cursor position is controlled by the Up Arrow,
Down Arrow, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow keys.
Removing the WWC 1000 from the
Mount
The WWC 1000 can be removed from the wrist mount
for use by other operators.
To remove the WWC 1000:
1. Detach the cable connection to the scanner.
2. Unsnap the bar securing the wrist computer.
3. Lift the WWC 1000 out of the mount.
Cleaning
Wrist Computer
To clean the wrist computer, use a clean, soft cloth
dampened with a mild cleaner such as soap and water.
Do not use abrasive paper, cloth, or abrasive/corrosive
cleaners. Clean the keypad and scanner triggers, and
wipe the display window with lens tissue.
Wrist Mount
Remove the bar from the wrist mount. Hand wash the
fabric mount with warm water using a mild detergent
and air dry (see tag on mount for washing instructions).

Introduction
Le WSS 1000 est un système de saisie de données prêt-à-
porter qui se compose d'un lecteur laser de codes à
barres, généralement fixé sur le doigt de l'opérateur ou
sur le dos de sa main, et d'un terminal de poignet (WWC
1000) fixé sur son avant-bras.
Les composants amovibles sont conçus pour s’adapter
aux droitiers comme aux gauchers. Les dispositifs de
fixation individuels amovibles permettent à différents
opérateurs de partager le même matériel (lecteur en
forme de bague et terminal) tout en disposant chacun de
son propre support individuel.
Objet de ce guide
Ce guide présente des informations sur les composants
du système, montage du WWC 1000, la mise en place et
la charge de la batterie, la fixation du système,
l’utilisation du clavier et du lecteur et le démontage des
composants amovibles lorsque le système doit être utilisé
par un autre opérateur. Pour obtenir des informations
sur le lecteur prêt-à-porter WSS 1000, reportez-vous au
Guide utilisateur du WSS 1000 ou au Guide utilisateur
fourni avec le lecteur.
