This section describes the available connection options when pairing with the ZEC500.
The Zebra mobile computer and the ZEC500 can have lock screens enabled; however, both devices must be unlocked to establish a successful connection. Attempting to initiate a connection while either device is locked, results in issues.
The user interface layout automatically adapts depending on your device type and physical orientation:
Mobile Computers (Handhelds):
Maintain a fixed, single-handed portrait layout.
Tablets:
Support dynamic auto-rotation, rearranging the user interface structurally between landscape and portrait orientations without altering the available functions.
Auto-rotation is supported on tablet devices only.
Once the Zebra Wireless Connect pairing app is installed, connect the mobile computer to the ZEC500 using one of the following options:
Tap To Connect
Scan To Connect
