2 Product Features
HP Wireless Barcode Scanner
With rich feature sets and extensive model options, the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner represents the
premium level of data collection equipment for general purpose applications. The HP scanner has
enhanced optics with improved motion tolerance, allowing codes placed on fast-moving objects to be
easily and quickly captured, creating the ideal scanner for tasks requiring high throughput like those
found in retail and light industrial environments. The scanner includes the following features:
● Omni-Directional Operation: To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim the scanner
and pull the trigger. The HP Wireless Barcode Scanner is a powerful omni-directional scanner,
so the orientation of the symbol is not important. The “Green Spot” for good-read feedback helps
to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required. When
using the product with the cradle at a 45° position, the aiming pattern can work as an aiming
system to aid in positioning the bar code for quick and intuitive reading.
1D and 2D Symbol Decoding: Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes,
●
including:
GS1 DataBar™ linear codes
◦
◦ Postal Codes (China Post)
Stacked Codes (such as GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1
◦
DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional)
The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The scanner
is immediately available to read another symbol.
Imaging: The scanner can also function as a camera by capturing entire images or image
●
portions of labels, signatures, and other items.

Charging the Batteries 13
Battery Safety
To install, charge, and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in this
manual.
WARNING! Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery
is used in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its life
expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot,
explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to
abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed in this guide.
WARNING! Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to each other with any
metal object (such as wire).
Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts or shocks.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
WARNING! In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could
cause damage to the eye.
CAUTION: Always charge the battery at 32° – 104° F (0° – 40° C) temperature range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your HP
reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which,
if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
CAUTION: Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing
so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may
also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
CAUTION: Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction
cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery
emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
As with other battery types, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity
deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to
precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In
14 Chapter 4 Setting Up and Using the Scanner
other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge/charge cycles before
needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging/recharging is adhered to rather than
full/deep discharging.
CAUTION: Storage of batteries for a long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status
should be avoided.
CAUTION: Only in case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended
to partially recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.
As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes every three months on unused products to avoid
any performance deterioration of the cell.
The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they should
be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to use a battery
showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device to comply with European Directive
2006/66/EC, 2002/ 95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and China regulatory and
other laws and regulations about the environment.
Charging the Batteries 15
Replacing the Batteries
NOTE: Before proceeding, read “Battery Safety” on the preceding pages. HP recommends annual
replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
Use the following procedure to change the reader’s battery:
1. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the battery cover screw (1).
Figure 4-8 Removing the Battery Cover
2. Unplug the white connector (1), and remove the two screws (2) securing the battery holder.

previous location.
NOTE: When inserting the new battery into the handle, take care to position the battery and
the connector as described above.
6. Insert the cover in the handle and screw it back into place.
Using the Scanner
The scanner normally functions by capturing and decoding codes. It is equipped with an internal
motion-sensing function that activates the aiming system on device motion. The intelligent aiming
system indicates the field of view that should be positioned over the bar code:
Figure 4-11 Aiming System
Using the Scanner 17
Figure 4-12 Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
A red beam illuminates the label. The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller
when the scanner is closer to the bar code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies
with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger
bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
If the aiming system is centered and the entire bar code is within the aiming field, you will get a good
read. Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot LED indicator.
Refer to the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner Programming Reference Guide (PRG) for more
information about this feature and other programmable settings.

LED and Beeper Indications
The scanner’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the
scanner. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The following tables list these
indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the scanner’s functions are
programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the
power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.
