SCANNER SETUP
Attach the Tether / Lanyard:

Unlock the battery cover by using a screwdriver
or coin to turn the lock under the CHS to a
horizontal position. Remove the cover.
After removing the battery cover,
wrap the string loop of the tether
around the inside part of the lock.
Replace the battery cover and lock
it by turning the lock into a
vertical position. If desired, attach
the tether to a lanyard or belt.

BASIC FUNCTIONALITY
Powering ON:
Press and hold down the small power button until the
LED turns blue and the CHS beeps twice (low-high).
Powering OFF / Disconnecting:
Press and hold down the small power button until the
CHS beeps twice (high-low).
Scanning Barcodes:
After connecting the CHS to your device, open an
application. Put the cursor where you want to enter data.
Hold the CHS about 4 inches (10 cm) from the barcode
and press and hold the trigger button. Position the CHS
so the red beam covers the entire width of the barcode.
Keep your hand steady while scanning.
By default, the CHS will beep and vibrate, and the LED
will flash green to confirm that data was decoded and
sent to the host device.
BLUETOOTH PAIRING
Automatic Reconnections:
After you power on the CHS, it will automatically try to
connect to the last device it paired and connected to.
• Make sure the device is in range with Bluetooth on.
• If using SPP mode, make sure SocketScan 10 software
or an application developed with SocketScan 10 SDK
is running.
If the CHS is connected to a device and gets disconnected, it
will try to reconnect for a few minutes. Make sure the
device is on and in range. If the CHS cannot reconnect, it
will emit a long beep. Press the trigger button to restart
the reconnection process.
Unpairing the CHS: Deleting the Bluetooth Pairing
In most cases, if the CHS is paired with a device, you
should unpair it before trying to connect to a new
device.
1. Power on the CHS.
2. Press and hold down the trigger button.
3. Press and hold down the power button.
4. After you hear 3 beeps, release both buttons.
5. The CHS will unpair and automatically power off. The
next time you power on the CHS, it will be discoverable.
