Getting Started

Turn off the computer’s power before connecting
the base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is
connected and powered up, put the imager in the
base to establish a link. The green LED on the base
flashes to indicate the imager’s battery is charging.

Reading Techniques

The view finder
projects an aiming
beam that should
be centered over
the barcode. (The
4820/4820i can be
positioned in any
direction for a
good read.)

Hold the imager over the barcode, pull the trigger,
and center the aiming beam on the barcode.

The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the imager close to smaller
barcodes, and farther away from large barcodes to
get a proper read.

If the barcode is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the imager at an angle so the
barcode can be scanned.

Note: If the imager beeps 3 times when scanning a

barcode, the link has not been established.
If the imager beeps once, the link has been
established.
