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.

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.

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.
