OSX, MX and Android version information for a device can be found in the Android Settings panel or by querying the device through ADB, EMDK or the MX CSP. More info.
The NFC Manager (NfcMgr) controls near field communications options on the device, including power supplied to the NFC radio and the state and behavior of features to improve performance and/or to avoid interoperability issues. NFC is a short-range wireless specification that enables two devices that are touching or within very close proximity to communicate using magnetic field induction.
NFC Manager is supported only on the following Zebra devices:
This is the On/Off switch for the NFC radio on the device, which controls the ability to use near field communications to exchange information with other devices.
Note: Supported only on MC93, TC52, TC57, TC72, TC77 and TC8380 devices.

This is the On/Off switch for Card Emulation (CE) mode. When enabled, the device behaves like a contactless smart card and can be used in place of credit/debit card, transit card, access card, etc. When CE is enabled, the device does not generate its own RF field but relies on the NFC reader to do so.
Note: Supported only on MC93, TC52, TC57, TC72, TC77 and TC8380 devices.
