TC52X-HC Series Mobile Computers
The ultimate healthcare feature set for the ultimate in quality of care
Building on the highly successful TC52-HC, this series offers two models that help caregivers improve the quality of care and the patient experience — the TC52x-HC and the TC52ax-HC. Give workers a superior mobile voice and data experience with best-in-class processing power. See more and scroll less with the large screen. Get never-ending power with a hot-swappable battery. The clog-proof design enables easier disinfecting. Summon the right help with one-press of the red alert button. Capture barcodes in any condition with healthcare safe illumination LEDs and aimer colors. Take high quality photos to easily document patient condition and enable better remote collaboration with physicians. Keep Android updated effortlessly with over-the-air automatic updates. Locate devices — even if the battery is dead or they are powered off. Create a fully functional mobile-powered workstation in a split second. And with Wi-Fi 6 and double the memory, the TC52ax-HC offers faster Wi-Fi, support for more users and future proofing.
The ultimate data capture experience
Exceptional touchscreen technology
The 5-inch Full HD display delivers maximum screen space, resolution and readability. Text and graphics are sharper. The 600 nit display is easy to read in any light. And the easy and familiar multi-touch operation works when wet, with a gloved finger or a stylus.
First-time every time flawless 1D/2D barcode capture
Capture barcodes in virtually any condition with the integrated scanner’s global shutter and PRZM Intelligent Imaging — even on curved or uneven surfaces like medicine vials and bags. And the white illumination LEDs and green aimer are ideal in healthcare, making it easy to scan barcodes on color-coded specimen trays and biopsy cassettes.
Ultra high-resolution photos and videos
The 13 MP color rear camera with Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) captures detailed photos and videos to document wound condition and more. Software advancements deliver more accurate color and sharper, crisper images, even in low light — while new on screen icons make the user interface more intuitive.
Improve collaboration with high quality video conferencing
The front-facing 5 MP camera enables Telehealth consultations, better patient monitoring and better collaboration with colleagues.
Out-of-the-box capture of Unique Device Identifier (UDI) barcodes
Caregivers can instantly check to see if medical equipment has been recalled before use, protecting patient safety. Ensure that all charges for all items are captured, protecting the bottom line. And inventory visibility is complete and more accurate, eliminating risky out of stocks.
Automatically capture data on labels and forms
Need to capture multiple barcodes on a single label or data on a medical form, such as checkboxes, text fields and signatures?

Do it all with one button press with Multi-Barcode Scanning, a no-cost, pre-installed Mobility DNA application.
The ultimate in communication options
Unbeatable world-class wireless connections
2x2 Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology boosts Wi-Fi network capacity, speed and range. The proprietary features in Zebra Mobility DNA Wireless set the bar for Wi-Fi connection performance and reliability, delivering unsurpassed wired-style Wi-Fi connections. Need the latest Wi-Fi technology? The future-ready TC52ax-HC supports Wi-Fi 6, taking capacity and performance to the next level. Support for 802.11mc enables highly accurate indoor locationing applications for way-finding, improved staff safety and more. Bluetooth 5.x delivers maximum Bluetooth peripheral performance. And with NFC, just tap-to-pair Bluetooth peripherals and read ID cards.
Fully programmable dedicated emergency Alert button
A red alert button can be configured to call the security desk or launch an application in emergency or duress situations. And you can define the sequence to activate the button to prevent false alarms — and the phone number of the right responder.
Highest quality voice for crystal clear calls
There is no room for misunderstandings on a call. With three microphones, high-volume speakers and the latest in noise-cancellation technology, callers on both ends hear every word, even in noisy areas.
The most powerful family of ready-to-use optional voice solutions
Take collaboration to the next level with Zebra Mobility DNA’s Workforce Connect, a solution that enables instant push-to-talk (PTT) with any other healthcare worker carrying any PTT-enabled Zebra mobile computer, inside or outside the four walls. And Workforce Connect Voice adds cordless PBX handset functionality, eliminating the need for healthcare workers to carry and manage more than one device.
Secure text messaging
Standard text messaging services lack the security required in healthcare, but voice conversations are often inappropriate in a hospital. Now, staff can meet HIPAA privacy and security requirements with discrete text communications via Zebra’s easy-to-deploy Workforce Connect Enterprise Messaging or a Partner’s approved secure texting application.
The ultimate purpose-built platform for healthcare
Turn TC52X-HC Series devices into mobile-driven workstations
Do some tasks need a larger display to best view information and interact with applications? With Zebra’s Workstation Connect1, just insert the TC52X-HC Series healthcare mobile computers into a compatible cradle to get a true desktop experience, complete with a large monitor, a mouse, keyboard, scanner and more. The user interface takes advantage of the additional screen real estate — and users can resize windows and open multiple apps in multiple windows. To switch back to mobile computer mode, just lift the device from the cradle.
Disinfectant-ready to withstand frequent cleanings
The TC52X-HC Series is designed for healthcare from the ground up — screw holes are covered and the number of crevices and seams have been minimized to eliminate places where germs can hide. Innovative clog-resistant audio grills prevent debris and disinfectants from entering the receiver, protecting audio quality. Advanced medical grade plastics provide superior toughness, able to withstand frequent cleanings with a wide selection of disinfectants.
Maximum processing power
Get the most powerful platform in this class with the 2.45 GHz octa-core SD660 processor, 4 GB RAM and either 32 GB (TC52x-HC) or 64 GB (TC52ax-HC) of Universal Flash Storage (UFS), delivering simultaneous read/write capability that rivals solid state drive (SSD) performance and speeds.
The most powerful, fully featured battery technology
The PowerPrecision+ high capacity battery delivers plenty of power for the longest shift. Change batteries without shutting down or rebooting with hot swapping. Batteries are fully charged and ready to go in record time with Fast Charging. And PowerPrecision Console, a complimentary Mobility DNA tool, allows you to easily identify and discard batteries that can no longer hold a full charge, ensuring that every battery in your pool is healthy.
Easily find lost and misplaced devices
An integrated Bluetooth beacon and support for Device Tracker allows users to quickly and easily locate misplaced or lost devices — even if the device is turned off or the battery is dead.
Rugged and ready for the toughest shifts
The TC52X-HC Series is ready for around the clock use, delivering reliable operation — even if you drop it on the floor or get it wet. The unibody design provides extra impact protection for the sensitive electronics. And the Corning® Gorilla® Glass touch panel and imager window bring maximum scratch-resistance and shatter-proofing to two of the most vulnerable device features.
LifeGuardTM for AndroidTM — a lifetime security guard for your Zebra Android devices
Now it’s even easier to keep your Zebra mobile devices, their data and your networks secure with new LifeGuard features. No-touch over-the-air updates enable effortless security. With A/B streaming support, updates are applied as they are received in the background, eliminating unnecessary downtime and multiple reboots. And more.
