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.

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

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:

Note: The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the One-Scan setup barcode
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.
