Wireless Barcode Scanner Base Battery Pack USB cable Antenna Association card Users guide 1 piece 1 piece 1 piece 1 piece 1 piece 2 pieces 1 copy If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local representative. Retain the shipping box in case you need to ship the scanner. 2 Installing the scanner Connecting the base with USB cable to a computer 1. Connect the base with the cable into the computers connector. 2. Windows will automatically install the driver. (If not, you need to install the driver by manual on the host to communicate with the scanner.) 3. When connection is finished, windows will indicate The hardware has been installed and can be used and the scanner light will be on. 4. If connection fails, unplug the base and repeat the above steps. Installing the antenna 1. Connect the antenna vertically to the antenna interface on the base. 2. Hold the antenna and tighten it by rotating the nut head clockwise until secure. Notes: To remove the antenna, please operate by inverse steps. Starting wireless scanning Scan the code start wireless scanning on the association cards or page 11 of the guide book. Understanding the features Audio and visual indications during data transmission:
Successful communication Sound (beeper) Blue light Yes No One beep Flash 1 time Three beeps Flash 3 times (changed into Storage Mode) Storage function:
When communication fails (out of base range or signal interference), the reader will store the scanned barcode information automatically. You can also select storage mode by manual. 4M inner memory, can store 40-100 thousand barcodes information. Low power alarm:
In case of instant auto-shutdown after startup, please charge the battery as the power is low. Charging:
Please fully charge the battery for first time use. Shut down the scanner before charging. When the reader/terminal is on charge, both the blue and the red lights on the base will be on. When charging is finished, only the red one will be on. 3 Performance Parameters Title Operating Channel Communication Distance Type of illuminant Operation way Bit Error Rate(BER) Safety Performance Symbologies Supported Interface Scanning Method Transmission Rate Resolution Depth of Field Decode Speed Reading Angle (pitch) Reading Angle (skew) Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Operating Humidity Storage Humidity Power Voltage Working Current Static Current Light Intensity Electromagnetic Interference External Electromagnetic Interference Resistance Materials Exterior Dimension Weight Parameter 433.79MHz|SM 150 meters indoor; 300 meters outdoor 650nm laser Hand-held or bracket-held 1/ 800 million Meet the Grade National Criteria for Laser Safety EAN-8EAN-13UPC-AUPC-ECode 39 Code 93Code 128EAN128Coda barIndustrial 2 of 5Interleave 2 of 5Matrix 2 of 5MSI, China Zip Code etc. RS232, PS2 Keyboard, USB Automatic/ Manual RS232 Baudrate:2400-38400 3mil (0.1mm) 15-800mm(pos0.9) 98 times/second 60 45

The terminal has adequate power . The scanner, cable and the Host are connected. All cable connections from the base station are secure. To scan bar codes 1. Aim the scanner at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code and press the trigger. 2. If you did not get a good read, adjust the scanner distance from the bar code and the position of the scan beam to make sure you scan every bar and space. The optimum reading stance between scanner and barcode is 15-20 cm. 3. On a successful read, therell be a beep sound, beam dies out. The scanner then transmits barcode message to the Host. 4. To instantly upload data, please make sure that the terminal is in range and associated to the base, or program will automatically turn into storage mode. The terminal communicates with the base at long distance of 150 meters indoor or 300 meters outdoor. Replace the battery pack as below:
5 Configuring the scanner Play around in the settings menu to configure the device to your exact specifications. Setting Code Description Note successfully The scanner emits 1 beep and the blue light flashes once when the base receives signals. The scanner emits 3 beep and the blue indicator flashes 3 times when the base is not successfully associated with scanner. The scan result will be automatically stored in the scanner. Storage mode will be activated to replace normal mode when the base fails 3 times in a row receiving a signal. Under this mode, the red light is on. The blue light will flash when a code is successfully read and stored. this code is stopped due to You can scan re-upload all stored data when uploading to improper base association.

Replace the battery pack if damaged. The battery pack power is lower than 5V. Charge it. Full charging needs 3-5 hours until the light turns into red. Scanner does not read bar codes quickly and sometimes requires multiple scans. The scanning window is dirty The bar code is dirty. didnt in You scan appropriate distance. The scanner was not set up to read this type of barcode symbology, or the bar is damaged, covered up, or of poor quality. The does recognize programming bar scanner not the code code Scanner cannot read certain bar codes. 13 Clean the window with a cotton cloth moistened with an ammonia and water solution. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry. Make sure the bar code is free of dirt and grime. Then scan at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code (see Operating the Scanner earlier in this guide). adjusting Try distance. the scanning Scan another bar code on a similar item. If it scans, clean the bar code giving you trouble. If you are still unable to scan, restore the scanner to original settings. If you still fail, try using other scanner. Make sure you are scanning the correct programming bar code and try again. Scanner does not read shiny bar codes. scanned. Reflected light distorts the scan beam. Scan at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code (see Operating the Scanner earlier in this guide). Further operating the scanner Aim Operation To display the total scan number, to clear stored data, to upload data. To identify codes by displaying the related reader IDs in a situation that a base communicates with many readers simultaneously. To configure different working channels for scanner sets to communicate simultaneously in a network and avoid data interference on hosts. E.g.:
channel=6. (Defaulted= 10) Scan the related bar codes in bar code settings earlier inn this guide. To construct a many to one network. 1) scan the code enter setting on the top of page 9. 2) scan the code display transmitter ID on page 9, the reader will emit beeps. 3) put the reader close to the base and unplug the base for a few seconds and then plug back. The flashing light and the beeper will stop. 4) scan the last code on page 9 save & exit. There will be an ID number of this reader 10 displayed before this readers every scanned code.

Scan the code restore all original scanner settings then the code start wireless scanning and repeat the above 8 steps until successful. 9) scan the code save & exit on page 9 to finish receiver channel setting. Scan an item code to test data uploading. Maintaining the Scanner Charge the battery at the end of each use and unplug it right when it reaches full charge; overcharging will shorten the battery's lifespan. Water or grime on the window of the scanner will distort the scan beam and impair performance. Moving from one temperature extreme to another causes condensation to form on the optical surfaces that affects scanner performance. Clean the window with a cotton cloth moistened with an ammonia or water solution. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry. Do not use a dry tissue to wipe the window. This causes small scratches on the window that will gradually affect performance. Do not immerse the scanner in water. Operate and store the scanner and battery pack in an environment with 5% to 15 85% relative humidity. Operate the battery pack in temperatures within -20C to 45C (-4F to 113F) and store the battery pack in temperatures within -20C to 45C (-4F to 113F). when powered on, the wireless function will automatically send code data each 11s. for your health, turn it off is recommended when not use.
