HARDWARE PREPARATION
Charging and Installing the Battery
1. The battery must be charged before initial use, using the
included Socket charger. The Charging LED will be
yellow during charging. After approximately 4 hours,
the battery will reach full charge, indicated by a green
Charging LED.
Do not use the charger with other types of batteries. A fully
charged battery should provide at least 10,000 scans and more
than 8 hours of operation.
2. Slide the switch at the bottom of the wrist unit to unlock the battery door. Insert
the battery so that the battery contacts align with the contacts inside the wrist
unit, then close and lock the battery door.
WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards or upside-down. Damage
may result.
You can check the battery level by viewing the CS HW screen of the SocketScan
settings utility. The utility will report the battery level only when the CRS is
connected to your mobile computer.
About the Cable Break Away
The CRS is designed to break away from the hand if subjected to unusual force. This
break away feature is designed to reduce the possibility or extent of injury to the
body in the event the CRS becomes entangled in industrial equipment.
If the cable breaks away from the ring scanner during use, simply plug it back in to
resume operation.
Note: Whenever the cable disconnects from the ring scanner, it will beep 3 times.

Assembling and Putting on the CRS
You can put on the CRS either with or without the case. If you choose not to use the
case, the plastic parts of the wrist unit will be more susceptible to abuse.
Attaching the Finger Strap to the Ring Scanner
Note: To remove the finger strap, grasp the clips with your thumb and index finger.
Pull one side of the clip out and remove.
