IMPORTANT NOTICES

FOR USA

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate t he receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to t he following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interf erence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FOR CANADA

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of Industry Canada. Th is device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux appareils numeriques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le material brouilleur: "Appareils Numeriques," NMB-003 edictee par l'Industrie.

FOR HAND-HELD PRODUCT WITH RF FUNCTIONS

The 1664 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-1664) 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 v ery 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 shou ld be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & body. It only operated in hand-held used. If only transfer data to the host cordless, please keep the minimum distance 20 cm between machine & body.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

 The use of any batteries or charging devices, which are not originally sold or

manufactured by CipherLab, will void your warranty and may cause damage to human body or the product itself.

 DO NOT disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.  DO NOT expose the scanner or the battery to any flammable sources.  For green-environment issue, it's important that batteries should be recycled in a

proper way.

 Under no circumstances, internal components are self-serviceable.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

 Use a clean cloth to wipe dust off the scanning window and the body of the scanner

as well as the charging device. DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner.

 If you want to put away the scanner for a period of time, download the collected data

to a host computer when in the memory mode, and then take out the battery. Store the scanner and battery separately.

 When the scanner resumes its work, make sure the battery is fully charged before

use.

 If you shall find the scanner malfunctioning, write down the specific scenario and

consult your local sales representative.

INTRODUCTION

CipherLab’s small-form-factor 1600 Series Barcode Scanners are specifically designed to answer the mobile demands. The palm-sized scanners are designed to help accelerate productivity while lowering the total cost of ownership. Intensive data collection jobs are made easier with fast, accurate barcode scanning in various working environments, especially in small businesses. Integrating short-distance cordless technology to small-form-factor scanners, the scanners are ideal for carrying as in pocket, and thus give workers tether-free mobility anytime anywhere and get job done more efficiently. This line of scanners deliver data over a cordless personal network at a range of up to 10 meters and a prolonged battery life to keep business running. 1664 is a new ordering option provided for adapting a 2D scan engine to read both 1D and 2D barcodes.

Owing to the compact design, extremely low power consumption, and powerful decoding capability, the 1600 Series Barcode Scanners are the best choice for the following applications –

 Receiving in Retail  Product labeling & Tracking  Shelf Product Replenishment  Mobile Point of Sale (POS)  Mobile Inventory Management  Order Picking & Staging  Work-In-Process Tracking  Material Flow Control  Transportation & Distribution  Warehousing  Asset Management

This manual contains information on operating the scanner and using its features. We recommend you to keep one copy of the manual at hand for quick reference or maintenance purposes. To avoid any improper disposal or operation, please read the manual thoroughly before use.

2) Connect 1664 to host computer or notebook via the USB cable.

3) The scanner LED will be flashing red during charging.

When the charging is done, the LED will turn off. When charging error occurs, the LED will turn solid red. For example, a bad or

missing battery issue occurs.

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 procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.

Configuration Mode

1. Hol d down the [Power/Delete] key for about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond

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

2. Have the scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED

indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode.

3. Have the scanner read more setup barcodes… Most of the 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. Have the scanner read the “Update” o r “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 shortly.

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

by having the scanner read 3610-related setup barcodes or using serial commands.

Working Mode

Upon powering up, the scanner will try to establish a connection with 3610 or a computer with

Bluetooth

connection between the scanners and 3610 is made easy and reliable. Now, it also supports Bluetooth

wireless technology. Refer to Chapter 3 - Setting up a WPAN Connection for details. The

SPP Master Mode as an alternative. Refer to 2.3 Bluetooth® SPP Master.

Note: If USB Virtual COM or Bluetooth® SPP is selected for output interface, the host can

directly send serial commands to configure the scanner. For example, run HyperTerminal.exe and type the 6-digit command located under each setup barcode. Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands

READ A SETUP BARCODE

CONFIGURE PARAMETERS

For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) when each parameter is set successfully. Refer to Create One-Scan Setup Barcodes

But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to in dicate it needs to read more setup barcodes. These special parameters may require reading one or more setup barcodes, such as

 Numeric barcodes, say , f or keyboard type, inter-character delay, length qualification  Hexadecimal barcodes, say, for character strings as prefix, suffix, etc.  When “Bluetooth
