Welcome!
Thank you for selecting this world class, bar code memory scanner. This scanner, when
combined with a third party application (software not included), allows you to capture bar
codes for a variety of uses. Whether you’re scanning bar codes to generate a shopping
list, purchasing products, or finding information on the Internet, this scanner is the
easiest data capture device to use. Simply point, and scan!

Getting Started
Scan Bar Codes (Add Items to Memory)
1. Aim the scanner at the sample bar code shown
below.
2. Press and hold the large button on the scanner until
you hear the tone and the blinking indicator turns
solid green.
• Make sure the scanner beam covers the entire bar
code and extends as far out as indicated by the endpoints in the bar code below.
• The scanner should be held approximately 2.5" from the bar code and at a slight
angle.

Delete Bar Codes (Remove Items from Memory)
1. Aim the scanner at the bar code to be deleted from memory.
2. Press and hold the small Delete button on the scanner until you hear a tone and
the blinking indicator turns solid amber.
Note: If the sample bar code above is scanned three times there will be three listings of
this bar code in the CS1504’s memory. To delete all three listings of the bar code from
memory, scan the sample bar code three times using the small Delete button (-) on the
scanner. Upon each minus scan you will receive a single beep. When the last entry has
been deleted, a long double beep will be emitted indicating all listings of that bar code
have been removed from memory.
Clear All
Use the small Delete button to clear the scanner memory of
all stored items.
1. Aim the scanner away from any bar codes.
2. Press and hold the Delete button for 6 seconds, until
you hear a long beep.
Practice scanning this sample bar code.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
Note: Before beginning, shut down your computer according to your computer
manufacturer’s directions.
Serial Connection
1. Connect the included serial (9-pin) connector to
the corresponding communication port on the
back of the computer according to the
manufacturer’s directions. Ensure that the
connection is secure.
2. Holding the other end of the serial cable with the
arrow facing up, slide the connector into the
data communication jack on the side of the scanner.
USB Connection
1. Connect the 9-pin connector of the serial cable to
the 9-pin connector of the USB-to-Serial
converter. Ensure that the connection is secure.
2. Connect the USB (4-pin) connector of the USBto-Serial converter to the corresponding USB
port on the back of the computer according to the
manufacturer’s directions. Ensure that the
connection is secure.
3. Holding the other end of the serial cable with the
arrow facing up, slide the connector into the data
communication jack on the side of the scanner.
Upload Bar Code Data to the Computer
To transfer bar code data from the scanner to the computer, use the third party
application software to upload stored data from the scanner to your computer.
(Application software is not included with the scanner.)
Note: The manner in which this transfer occurs depends on your specific application.
Refer to the application software manual for instructions. When communication starts,
the indicator blinks green and the scanner beeps.

Low Battery Warning
The CS1504 will indicate a low power state to the user by blinking the LED indicator
red while trying to scan a bar code.
Audio Control
To toggle the beeper tone on or off, press and hold the large button for 10 seconds until
the LED indicator turns solid amber (beeper tone off) or until the LED turns solid amber
and a double tone is heard (beeper tone on).
Cleaning
Clean the CS1504 with a soft, clean cloth. Do NOT use any solvent such as alcohol or
any abrasive substances.
Troubleshooting
This section describes possible errors and suggested solutions to fix the errors.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
The scanner is not
working.
The scanner is not
scanning or
deleting items.

close to the bar code.
You are scanning at an
incorrect angle.
You are scanning an un-
supported or disabled bar
code type or that bar code
type may be disabled in
the software.
The scanner is connected
to the PC and communication has been established.
Try a different bar code.
Move the scanner closer to or farther from the bar
code.
Change the angle until the scanner reads the bar
code.
Try a different bar code. Make sure the correct bar
code support is enabled.
