CR2 Cable & Handle Installation
The CR2 is available with USB (6 ft. and 12 ft.), RS232 and PS2 cables. All of the cables are
connected to the CR2 with a 8-pin DIN connector.
Install a Cable Directly to the CR2
Line up the 8-pin DIN connector into the back end of the unit. The arrows on the connector
should be facing down (Figure 1). When the two items are aligned, rmly push the cable
into the reader.
The cable has a locking mecha-
nism that will rmly hold the cable
in place (Figure 2). To detach the
cable, pinch the plastic on the
8-pin DIN and pull back to

Install a Cable to a Handle
If you purchased a cabled handle for use with the CR2, the 8-pin DIN connector is at the
bottom of the handle (Figure 3). Line up the cable’s 8-pin DIN connector with the handle’s
connector and rmly push the cable into the handle. The cable has a locking mechanism
that will rmly hold the cable in place. To detach the cable from the reader, pinch the plastic
on the 8-pin DIN and pull back to disengage the connector.

For additional stability, if using the H2
cabled handle, there is an optional cable
attachment clip that can secure the cable
to the handle with two threaded screws
(Figure 4).

Reader & H2, BH1/BH2 Handle Assembly
The CR2 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- see Figure 7) can be
secured further with threaded screws on the under side of the handle (Figure 8).

Slide the CR2 into the handle, aligning the 8-pin DIN
connector to the stationary connector pin on the handle
(Figure 9). Push reader and handle together rmly until
you feel the reader ‘click’ in place.

Code Reader 2.0 Wireless Setup
This Code Reader 2.0 (CR2) 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 CR2 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 CR2
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).

CR2 Wireless Setup
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 CR2 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 (see Sample on
Page 3).
4. The CR2 will automatically connect to the computer. By default, the CR2 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 CR2 so that the CR2 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 CR2 will connect.

Sample
Scan the QuickConnect code that
matches the Bluetooth address of
your device.
Radio Range and Transferring Data
The CR2 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 CR2 detects the radio is out of range, the CR2 will store data on the reader’s
non-volatile memory.
For more information about setting up and using the CR2 with a wireless Bluetooth
conguration, please visit www.codecorp.com/manuals.php and download the latest
version of the CR2 User Manual.
