ATTENTION 1. If either your hand or the Velcro strap is soaking wet, the Laser beam may automatically light up without touch trigger. The scanner can still work well in this condition but it will waste battery power, so it is recommended to dry both your hand and the Velcro strap. 2. The following gloves have been tested to be working with the touch-activated button: latex examination glove, antistatic glove, white cotton glove (with or without latex coating), safety glove, and rubber glove. However, it is still recommended to operate with bare hand or thin glove to ensure the responsiveness of button. 3. Dont need to tighten Velcro strap too much. ust make the strap fit your finger so that the scanner will not easily move while being touched for trigger. We also suggest to release the strap from your finger for 1 minute after 2 hours of continuous use if your finger feels uncomfortable.

(2) Restart your Bluetooth or Host device and try again, following the instruction on page 11.

(3) Make sure the scanner is in BT-HID mode (see page 10). If the scanner is discoverable, its LED indicator will be flashing Blue.

(4) The scanner might be powered off. By default the scanner goes to sleep after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can re-activate the scanner by touching the scan button on both sides. Alternatively, you may also increase the power off timeout (see page 13) so that the scanner will stay awake longer. Q: Your Bluetooth can detect the scanner, but it cannot pair with the scanner successfully. A:

(1) Make sure your Bluetooth is 4.0 or later version that supports BLE.

(2) Restart your Bluetooth or Host device and try again, following the instruction on page 11.

(3) Make sure to remove the scanner from the Bluetooth of host device that has previously paired with the scanner.

(4) Follow the instruction on page 11 and try again. Q: The scanner does not read barcode instantly. A:

(1) Barcode print quality is too poor.

(2) The ambient light is too weak. If thats the case, configure the LED illumination to auto-adaptive or always on (see page 16) Q: The scanner does not output barcode data as expected. A:

(1) The keyboard layout of scanner does not match that of your host device. Try configuring keyboard layout on page 17 - 20.
