    ADDITIONAL NOTES
    Summary of major issues and limitations are listed below.
    • The RFD8500 RFID region should be configured first before using any RFID
    functions. The region can be configured via RFID demo apps or ZETI interface. Refer
    to the RFD8500 user guide and the developer guide for more details. If not familiar

    ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES 2
    with region configuration, it is recommended to set region configuration using the
    RFID demo apps or the ZETI interface instead of 123Scan.
    • When in HID mode, a beep sequence is heard if the region is not set and the trigger
    is pressed.
    • The RFD8500 works in two main modes over Bluetooth: HID mode, SPP and MFi
    combo mode, which is the default. Combo mode allows the RFD8500 to be paired
    with either iOS or Android devices out of the box. To enable Bluetooth HID the
    RFD8500 123Scan plug-in should be used. The setting HID keyboard emulation
    profile should be chosen under General->Bluetooth->Bluetooth Profile Mode.
    • The RFD8500 Bluetooth is discoverable for 40 seconds (by default or as per the
    configured value) each time it becomes discoverable, the RFD8500 trigger button
    must be pressed within 25 seconds to accept the pairing request once RFD8500
    starts flashing Bluetooth LED fast.
    • Batched data can get lost when unit goes to off mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
    Batched data should be offloaded within this time widows.
    • When 123Scan is used to configure the RFD8500, the RFD8500 should be power
    cycled to complete the configuration process.
    • RFD8500 does not support setting configuration via barcode scanning.

    KNOWN ISSUES
    • ZETI password is not configurable via 123Scan. Use the ZETI interface directly to
    configure it
    • Sometimes during inventory with C1G2 Session 1/ 2/3 behavior resembling Session 0
    is seen with Higgs 3 based tags.
    • After sending Switch host from USB CDC to SNAPI the USB cable needs to be
    removed and connected back for this to take effect.
    • Configuring HID on either of the interfaces (USB or BT) causes the other interface to
    acquire the HID characteristics for RFID. It is not recommended usage of device using
    HID on one interface and using ZETI based RFID on the other interface.
    • Sometimes RFD8500 may not transition to off mode after being idle for 30 minutes
    when used in BT HID mode and with an iOS v8.4.1 host. To reduce the probability of
    this event, it is recommended to configure parameter 1633 to a value much less than
    default value, 1800 seconds (30 minutes), such as 300 seconds (5 minutes)
    • In RFID demo app for Android v1.0.2.x read rate is updated in inventory page when
    data is retrieved in batch mode (read rate should not be in batch mode)
    • Intermittent issue seen with iOS 10 when sometimes the RFID demo app does list all
    connected devices
    • The addition of the NAK has caused a performance degradation of about 3% in
    FM0/640 compared to previous version (1.8.R00)
    • When RFD8500 is rebooted several times when connected to the IPhone BT auto
    reconnection fails on few occasions.
