(CHS) Series 7 with Bluetooth wireless technology is just what you're looking for. This innovative device combines the power of laser bar code scanning with the convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology in a single compact, lightweight device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Bar code scanning is the most efficient way to collect data from a mobile computer. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a laser scanner is 50 times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry. Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each other, offering you new possibilities for using your mobile computer with other devices. With the Cordless Hand Scanner
(CHS), you can scan bar codes while connected to the PDA in your pocket or to your laptop, tablet or desktop computer located up to 300 feet away all without the hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna. SCANNER VERSIONS The CHS Series 7 includes three versions of the scanner. The entry-level CHS 7E uses linear CMOS imaging technology. The mid-level CHS 7M has a Class 1 laser scanner. The performance level CHS 7P features a Class 2 laser scanner ABOUT THE SOFTWARE SocketScan enters scanned data directly into any open Windows or Palm OS program as if the data were manually typed, so you can use the CHS with your favorite application. Included is a utility that and a ruggedized construction. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5 enables you to configure Prefix/Suffixes, sounds, and other special settings for the CHS. Connect!Agent for Windows Mobile and XP simplifies Bluetooth by automatically setting up and managing the wireless connection. Connect!Agent runs in the background, requiring no user interaction. ABOUT COMBINING SCANNING WITH BLUETOOTH The Cordless Hand Scanner represents an optimal combination of proven laser bar code scanning and state-of-the-art Bluetooth connectivity. Because of the problems inherent in the intermittent storage of scanned data in on-board memory if the Bluetooth connection is lost, the CHS is designed to operate only when connected to the host, with the powerful Class 1 radio providing the maximum possible connection range. The user is advised of the connection status with a single beep when the CHS connects to the host and a double beep when the connection is closed or lost. As with any wireless device, connectivity range can be affected by a variety of environmental variables. The most likely source of errors in any cordless scanning system is not in the scanning and decoding process, but in the transmission of the data to the host. For this reason, the Cordless Hand Scanner features the exclusive Error Proof Protocol (patent pending) from Socket Mobile, which ensures that scanned data is 6 correctly received by the host computer and allows for real-time validation of data and notifies the user in case of errors. The beeper and green LED signals provided by the CHS confirm not only a successful scan but also the successful transmission of the scanned data to the host. Users familiar with bar code scanning may notice a slight delay between the successful scan and shut off of the laser, and the beep and green LED from the CHS confirming completed transmission of the data. In most instances, this delay is less than 300 ms (milliseconds), but may be slightly longer as the connectivity range limit is approached. Because of the two-way transmission verification process, it is possible to cause communication problems by scanning bar codes as fast as possible. When this occurs, all transmissions will stop for several seconds before scanning can be resumed. To prevent this from happening, the user should wait until the confirming beep is received before scanning the next bar code.

As with all wireless technologies, the connection range can vary widely depending on many factors such as the brand and placement of the host device, the type and size of physical obstacles and the presence and activity level of competing radio transmissions. In range testing of the CHS while connected to a variety of typical host devices with Class 2 radios, functional connection CE: EN55024:1998 Bluetooth 1.1 Bluetooth QD ID B0164000 ETS 300 826 APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS 77 distances from 18 to over 100 feet have been experienced depending on the environment. The following conditions appear to reduce the Bluetooth connection range:
The presence of soft, absorbent materials such as paper, fiberglass insulation, foam material in office cubical walls, carpeting and, to a lesser extent, even sheetrock and wood construction materials. Hard materials such as concrete increase the range. Human bodies or containers of liquid positioned between the host and the CHS. The presence and activity level of competing Bluetooth or 802.11 (Wi-Fi) systems using the same 2.4 GHz frequency. Metal in a grid pattern, such as chain link fencing or chicken wire. This type of material may block the Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) signal completely. 78 | APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS APPENDIX B SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS About Bluetooth and Health Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as bar code scanners, mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices. Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 15.75 mW. This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters. The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (15.75 mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels. Product Care Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity. Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures. Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc. Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it. Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use. Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Should your CHS need service, please contact Socket Mobile technical support at: www.socketmobile.com/support/support/new Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place. APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS 79 Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by Socket Mobile, may void the users authority to operate the equipment. Antenna Care Do not place a metallic shield around the Cordless Hand Scanner since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency. Efficient Use For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Cordless Hand Scanner. Driving RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to be sure that the Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicles electronics. Aircraft Turn off your Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft. To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your Cordless Hand Scanner while the plane is in the air. Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. Radio Frequency Exposure Your Cordless Hand Scanner contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled mobile computer by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 15.75 mW. The Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters. 1 Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines:

Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, April 1998. 80 99/519/EC, EU Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz 300 GHz, Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12, 1999. ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, Safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 1991. FCC Report and Order, ET Docket 93-62, FCC 96-326, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), August 1996. Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) Standard 1999, Australian Communications Authority (ACA), May 1999. APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS 81 APPENDIX C BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS All bar code symbols/labels should satisfy the appropriate AIM Uniform Symbology Specification. Background Substrate:
The bar code symbol should be printed on material (media) that is reflective and has a matte (not glossy) finish. A background diffuse reflectance of at least 70% to 80% is desirable for optimum contrast. Retro-reflective media should be used to obtain decode distances greater than 36 inches. Ink Color and Type:
The inked bars should not exceed 25% reflectance at the wavelength that is being used for reading, whether printed with black ink or colored ink. The reflectance value should not vary more than 5% within the same character. Voids and Specks:
The code should be printed clearly, free of voids, specks, blemishes and lines that could fool the scanner. Specks or blemishes in the white spaces, or false or missing bar sections could be interpreted by the reading equipment as part of the code. Generally, the width of such flaws is more serious than the height. Code symbols/ labels should be rejected if these defects are present. Definition:
The bars in the bar code symbol should be well defined. Their edges should not be rough or fuzzy, so that the bars and spaces have the proper widths intended for the bar code symbology used. Contrast:
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes are printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to the ink reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference between the two should be at least 37.5% at the wavelength used for reading. 82 | APPENDIX C: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS Tolerance:
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a bar code symbol must conform to the appropriate AIM bar code specifications and can cause problems if not correct throughout the bar code. Problems can occur when bar edges are smeared or rough, or when they exhibit voids. APPENDIX C: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS 83 APPENDIX D ENABLING OR DISABLING SYMBOLOGIES The CHS is pre-set to automatically detect and decode (auto-
discriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or disable symbologies, use the SocketScan Symbology Selector. Notes:
The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is used. See Table 1. Enabling more symbologies will make the scanner work harder to search through more possible combinations, making the decoding process slightly longer. The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified with the SocketScan Advanced Programming Guide or SocketScan SDK. Check the Socket Mobile website for updates. Table 1.

As with all wireless technologies, the connection range can vary widely depending on many factors such as the brand and placement of the host device, the type and size of physical obstacles and the presence and activity level of competing radio transmissions. In range testing of this product while connected to a variety of typical host devices with Class 1 radios, functional connection distances from 18 to 100+ ft have been experienced depending on the environment. The following conditions appear to reduce the Bluetooth connection range:
The presence of soft, absorbent materials such as paper, fiberglass insulation, foam material in office cubical walls, carpeting and, to a lesser extent, even sheetrock and wood construction materials. Human bodies or containers of liquid positioned between the host and the CHS. The presence and activity level of competing Bluetooth, 802.11 (Wi-Fi) or other
(proprietary) systems using the same 2.4 GHz frequency. Metal in a grid pattern, such as chain link fencing or chicken wire. This type of material may block the Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) signal completely. APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS 89 APPENDIX B SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS Scanning Tips Practice to determine the best scanning distance for your type of barcode. Scanning Distance The best scanning distance varies depending on barcode size, symbology, label media, W-N Ratio, and scan angle. Check the Decode Zone in Appendix D: Decode Zone to determine the proper distance between the scanner and barcode. The larger the barcode, the further away you should position the scanner. The tighter the bars of the barcode, the closer you should position the scanner. About Bluetooth and Health Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect a variety of devices, such as barcode scanners, mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these devices. Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is normally very low, only 15.75 mW. This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters. The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (15.75 mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels. Product Care Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity. Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures. Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc. Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it. Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use. Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Should your CHS need service, contact Socket technical support at: http://support.socketmobile.com Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place. Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by Socket, may void the users authority to operate the equipment. Antenna Care Do not place a metallic shield around the Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner since it will reduce the radio transmission efficiency. Efficient Use For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal surrounding your Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner. 90 Driving RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to be sure that the Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicles electronics. Aircraft Turn off your Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft. To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use your Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner while the plane is in the air. Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. Radio Frequency Exposure Your Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled mobile computer by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 15.75 mW. The Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or used separately from other antennas or radio transmitters. 1 Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines:

(ACA), May 1999. APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS 91 APPENDIX C BARCODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS All barcode symbols/labels should satisfy the appropriate AIM Uniform Symbology Specification. Note: The CHS 7C can also scan barcodes on device screens. Background Substrate:
The barcode symbol should be printed on material (media) that is reflective and has a matte (not glossy) finish. A background diffuse reflectance of at least 70% to 80% is desirable for optimum contrast. Retro-reflective media should be used to obtain decode distances greater than 36 inches. Ink Color and Type:
The inked bars should not exceed 25% reflectance at the wavelength that is being used for reading, whether printed with black ink or colored ink. The reflectance value should not vary more than 5% within the same character. Voids and Specks:
The code should be printed clearly, free of voids, specks, blemishes and lines that could fool the scanner. Specks or blemishes in the white spaces, or false or missing bar sections could be interpreted by the reading equipment as part of the code. Generally, the width of such flaws is more serious than the height. Code symbols/ labels should be rejected if these defects are present. Definition:
The bars in the barcode symbol should be well defined. Their edges should not be rough or fuzzy, so that the bars and spaces have the proper widths intended for the barcode symbology used. Contrast:
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes are printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to the ink reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference between the two should be at least 37.5% at the wavelength used for reading. Tolerance:
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a barcode symbol must conform to the appropriate AIM barcode specifications and can cause problems if not correct throughout the barcode. Problems can occur when bar edges are smeared or rough, or when they exhibit voids. 92 APPENDIX D DECODE ZONE The decode zones for 1D models of the Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner (v3) are shown below. The minimum element width (X Dimension or barcode size) is the width in thousandths of an inch (mils) of the narrowest element (bar or space) in the symbol. The figures shown are the typical scanning distances (depths of field) for selected barcode sizes. The maximum usable length of a barcode symbol (Width of Field) at any given range is also shown.

APPENDIX I: CONNECTION BARCODES 109 APPENDIX J TROUBLESHOOTING GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING ALL OS SYMPTOM: When I try to scan, I aim the beam at the barcode, but no data appears on my screen, and the beam eventually turns off. POSSIBLE REASON The scanner is too close or too far from the barcode, or at an incorrect angle The barcode is incorrectly formatted, damaged or poorly printed. The barcode symbology may be disabled or not supported by the CHS. You dont have an application open to scan data into. SOLUTION Practice scanning at different distances and angles so you get accustomed to the most effective position. Try scanning a barcode that is correctly formatted, printed clearly, and in good condition. Enable the symbology. If you are using the CHS in SPP mode, use the symbology selector feature of SocketScan software. If you are using the CHS in HID mode, please refer to the SocketScan Advanced Programming Guide for instructions. If you do not know the symbology of the barcode, and the CHS works in SPP mode for your computer / device, you can use the Scanner Settings utility to test scanning the barcode and determine its symbology. Open an application (e.g., a spreadsheet). Place the cursor where you want to enter data. Try scanning again. SYMPTOM: My computer/device cannot find the CHS, and/or I get an error message saying that there are connection problems. POSSIBLE REASONS The computer/device is too far from the CHS. The CHS is not powered on. You are using the CHS in SPP mode and have assigned another device as your default Bluetooth serial device. Your computer/device does not have Bluetooth enabled and/or the Bluetooth software is not running. The CHS is already paired with another computer/device. Power on the CHS. Remove any settings that assign another device as your default Bluetooth serial device. SOLUTION Move the devices closer together, within a range of 10-15 m. Enable Bluetooth on your computer/device and make sure the Bluetooth software is running. Unpair the CHS. See Appendix F for instructions. SYMPTOM: The Bluetooth device search has found multiple CHS devices, and I dont know which one to choose.
