Installing & Replacing Batteries
Use only Alkaline batteries in your scanner. Be sure to remove the
batteries from the scanner when storing the scanner for more than 30
days.
Installation Steps:
1. Turn the scanner over so that the back
faces up.
2. Remove the battery cover by pressing
the button at the top of the cover, and
moving the cover down.
3. If there are batteries in the scanner,
remove them.
4. Insert the new batteries so that the
positive end (+) is up on the outside
batteries, and down on the middle
battery.
5. Replace the battery cover by inserting
the tabs at the top of the cover into
the slots in the back of the scanner.
Slide the cover up.

Barcodes
Bar Code Symbologies Supported
The IP-BC-BT scanner support a number of different bar code symbologies and it can
return a code indicating the type of symbology that was scanned (either
NCR Identifier). Different symbologies are often used for different purposes. For
example, most retail products use a UPC code. The case containing that same product
probably uses an ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5) bar code. Knowing which type of symbology
was scanned can be used to determine if the data is from a case or an individual
product. The Flic supports the following barcode symbologies and options:
EAN/UPC
These are the mostly commonly used bar code symbologies. UPC and EAN are used
to identify nearly all retail products. The Flic supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,
and add-on symbols (both 2 and 5-digit add-ons). The Flic can also combine the addon symbols with the base barcodes.
CODE 128
The name CODE 128 derives from its ability to encode 128 different data characters
at a high density. The Flic supports Function Code 1 and 2 options, but does not
support the concatenation feature (pad character).
Code-39
Code-39, or Code 3 of 9, is used extensively in military and medical applications. The
Flic supports Code-39 standard and checksum options (including stripping the
checksum character). Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not
supported.
ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)
ITF is used extensively in warehousing applications and many retail products use ITF
bar codes on product cases (individual items use UPC but ITF is often used on the
case). The Flic supports standard and checksum options (including stripping the
checksum character). Minimum and Maximum decode lengths are also supported.
Note that Maximum decode length does not provide any additional barcode decoding
integrity. Full ASCII conversion and concatenation features are not supported.

Scanning Operation
The IP-BC-BT Cordless Bluetooth® Scanner operates from 3 AAA batteries
that will supply over 76,000 continuous scans or 100 scans/day for 8
months (16,000 scans). In order to conserve power the scanner enters
standby mode after a programmable a connect time of no activity and
drops the Bluetooth
When scanning, the device wakes up and the Bluetooth
Discovery mode and waits for the host to reconnect. When using the host
detects the scanner in discovery mode it quickly re-connects and
transmits the data.
Proper scanning of barcodes is shown in the figure below. Note that the
scan beam crosses the width of the barcode.

Setting Up Scanner
The IP-BC-BT scanner requires Bluetooth® enabled PDA or Smartphone to
communicate using Bluetooth
Depending on your device type the steps for setting up or pairing your
device to the IP-BC-BT scanner will vary slightly but the overall process
should be similar to the steps below.
1. First step is to pair IP-BC-BT to your PDA or Smartphone. This is
usually done using the device’s Bluetooth
2. When ready, place the scanner in discovery mode by pressing the
scan button.
3. On your PDA or Smartphone, select the option to add new
Bluetooth
your device type and could be one of the following:
a. BlackBerry OS: [Add Device]
b. Pocket PC OS: [Explore a Bluetooth
c. Palm OS: [Add Device]
d. Windows Mobile: [New Partnership]
Or it could be something similar to one of the above options. Refer
to your device user manual for details on pairing Bluetooth
devices.
4. Select device named “Cordless”.
5. Use 0000 as the Bluetooth
6. Save and exit.
If the steps above have been successful, the scanner and your PDA or
Smartphone are now paired with each other and ready to use Bluetooth
communications.

Developing Solutions
The IP-BC-BT scanner currently supports Bluetooth
using SPP Profile (Serial Port Profile). However, software that runs on the
handset and interacts with the scanner is required to actually scan
barcodes.
Integrating the Scanner into your mobile solution requires the use of the
scanner’s Bluetooth
developing application and integrated the IP-BC-BT barcode scanner into
your application.
The table below shows the SDKs currently available for Bluetooth
devices.
