Step 1: Unpack the Bar Code Reader

a. Place the carton on an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe work surface. As you place

the carton on the work surface, look for markings on the shipping carton that

tape along the length and ends of the carton.

c. Fold open the box flaps.

d. Remove the plastic bag containing instructions and warranty information.

e. Remove the top piece of foam from the carton.

f. Reach into the carton and lift out the bar code reader. The bar code reader should

be enclosed in an antistatic package.

Caution: This device is static-sensitive. Proper grounding and electrostatic

discharge (ESD) handling precautions are required before removing the bar
code reader from its packaging.
