FOR HAND-HELD PRODUCT WITH RF FUNCTIONS

The 1663 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-1663) complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The unit has very low level of RF energy that it is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).

The 3610 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-3610) complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & bod y. It on ly operated in hand-hel d used. If only transfer data to the host cordless, please keep the minimum distance 20 cm between machine & body.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Enter Setup

QUICK START

The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in

this manual or via the ScanMaster software.

This section describes the proce dure of co nfiguring the scanner by reading the setup barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.

Configuration Mode

1) Hold down the [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a

long beep and its LED will come on-off.

2) Read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and i ts LED i ndicator will

become flashing red after reading the barcode.

3) Read more setup barcodes… Most of t he setup barcodes are normal, and the scanner will

respond with two beeps (low-high tone). For special setup barcodes, it requires reading more than one setup barcode to complete the setting.

4) Read the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will

become flashing red after reading the barcode.

5) The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the “Update ” or “Abort” barcode. It will

respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off.

Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3610 dongle

by having the sca nner read 3610-relate d setup barcodes or using ser ial commands.

CREATE ONE-SCAN SETUP BARCODES

The fact is most of the scanner parameters require only one read for setting new values. To facilitate configuring the scanner, you may create One-Scan setup barcodes for use.

The requirements of a One-Scan setup barcode are:

 a prefix of the “#@” characters  the six digits of command parameters  a suffix of the “#”character

For example, the scanner need s the reading of three setu p barcodes for the command parameter “109952” to take effect:

Now, it requires only one read:

for (1) changing the interface or (2) setting memory mode, enable or disable. It will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off.
