Reader & H2, BH1/BH2 Handle Assembly
The CR2500 utilizes the battery compartment to ‘snap’ the reader to the H2, BH1 and BH2 handles.
For the H2 (only), push the 8-pin DIN connector at the end of the reader into the exible connector
at the end of the handle. For all three handles, snap the reader onto the handle (Figure 5) matching
the battery compartment of the reader to the battery connectors, visible inside the handle (Figure 6).
Newer readers (MFG # 012_05 or later -see Figure 7) can be secured further with threaded screws
on the under side of the handle (Figure 8).

Code Reader 2500 Wireless Setup
This Code Reader 2500 (CR2500) features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows
for point-to-point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial
port protocol (SPP). If keyboard entry is necessary, Code XML Router will need to be
installed. The following guide will give you general instructions on connecting the CR2500
to a desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create
a QuickConnect Code that is specic to your device (Figure 1). This code will link your
CR2500 directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will
need to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device.
You can usually nd the 12-character Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near
the device’s serial number (see Figure 2).

Reset to RF Factory Defaults QuickConnect Save Settings
If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter from Code or
from an authorized distributor, a QuickConnect Code was included. If you bought a Bluetooth
adapter separately and wish to create a QuickConnect Code, please visit Code’s web site at:
http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php
To connect your reader, use the following steps:
1. Power on the CR2500 reader by pressing one of the red buttons for one second to
power on the reader.
2. Scan the Reset to RF Factory Defaults code on Page 3 (M684_01).
3. Scan the QuickConnect Code you received or created from Code’s website.
4. The CR2500 will automatically connect to the computer. By default, the CR2500 will beep
once after it connects and beep four times in a row if it did not connect.
5. Scan the Save Settings code on Page 3 (M188_02) if you want to save the wireless
connection settings to the CR2500 so that the CR2500 will automatically try to connect
wirelessly the next time it is powered on.
Important Note: You will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the
Bluetooth serial port protocol. While installing the Bluetooth Conguration Manager software
that was included with your Bluetooth adapter, make sure to note the Communications (COM)
Port number the software assigned for the adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port
through which the CR2500 will connect.

Radio Range and Transferring Data
The CR2500 radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device the unit has roughly
a 300 feet line-of-sight operating range. If connecting to a Class 2 or Class 3 device, the operating
range will drop to match the lower range. Once a unit is connected, a serial application must be
opened (HyperTerminal) unless CodeXML Router is installed.
When the CR2500 detects the radio is out of range, the CR2500 will store data on the reader’s
non-volatile memory.
For more information about setting up and using the CR2500 with a wireless Bluetooth
conguration, please visit www.codecorp.com/manuals.php and download the latest version of
the CR2500 User Manual.
