1 | Introduction
If you need to collect bar coded data but don't want to be tied to your mobile
or desktop computer, Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) Series 7 with
Bluetooth wireless technology is just what you're looking for. This
innovative device combines the power of laser bar code scanning with the
convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology in a single compact,
lightweight device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the
palm of your hand.
Bar code scanning is the most efficient way to collect data from a mobile
device. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a laser scanner is 50
times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry.
Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each
other, offering you new possibilities for using your Smartphone with other
devices. With Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS), you can scan bar
codes while connected to the Smartphone in your pocket, without the hassle
f cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna. o
About the Software
SocketScan™ enters scanned data directly into any open
Symbian Series 60 or Series 80 program, as if the data were
manually typed. You can configure Prefix/Suffixes and
assign a beep tone to signify good data reads into your
Smartphone. Additionally, you can change the frequency of
the beep tone or enable/disable bar code symbologies with
just the press of a button.
For software updates, please register your product at:
www.socketcom.com/prodreg and submit a request for the
latest software. Since this Symbian version of SocketScan
must be licensed, updates are not available from Socket’s
download site.

About Combining Scanning with Bluetooth
The Cordless Hand Scanner represents an optimal combination of proven
laser bar code scanning technology and state-of-the-art Bluetooth wireless
connectivity. Because of the problems inherent in the intermittent storage of
scanned data in on-board memory if the Bluetooth connection is lost, the
CHS is designed to operate only when connected to the host, with the
powerful Class 1 radio providing the maximum possible connection range.
The user is advised of the connection status with a single beep when the
CHS connects to the host and a double beep when the connection is closed
or lost. As with any wireless device, connectivity range can be affected by a
variety of environmental variables.
The most likely source of errors in any cordless scanning system is not in
the scanning and decoding process, but in the transmission of the data to the
host. Using Socket’s Error-Proof Protocol (patent pending), the beeper and
green LED signals provided by the CHS confirm not only a successful scan
but also the successful transmission of the scanned data to the host. Users
familiar with bar code scanning may notice a slight delay between the
successful scan and shut off of the laser and the beep and green LED from
the CHS confirming completed transmission of the data. In most instances,
this delay is less than 250 ms (milliseconds), but may be slightly longer as
the connectivity range limit is approached.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5
System Requirements
Your Smartphone should meet these minimum requirements:
• Symbian Series 60 or 80
• Bluetooth wireless technology
Depending on how you plan to install the SocketScan software, you will
also need one of the following:
• A method for synchronizing your Smartphone with desktop or laptop
PC. This requires synchronization software for you phone as well as
connection hardware, such as Bluetooth hardware for your PC, a
serial/USB cable or cradle, etc.
• A method for transferring files to your Smartphone from a desktop or
laptop PC, such as a Bluetooth file transfer hardware and software on
your PC, infrared, email or SMS message attachments, a serial/USB
cable or cradle, etc.
Only version C or later of the Socket Cordless Hand Scanner works with
the SocketScan for Symbian software. To verify the version of your CHS,
open the battery compartment and check the sticker above the batteries. The

The Cordless Hand Scanner features a powerful Class 1 Bluetooth radio to
provide the maximum possible range. As with all wireless technologies, the
connection range can vary widely depending on many factors such as the
brand and placement of the host device, the type and size of physical
obstacles and the presence and activity level of competing radio
transmissions.
In range testing of the CHS while connected to a variety of typical host
devices with weaker Class 2 radios, functional connection distances from
18 to over 100 feet have been experienced depending on the environment.
The following conditions appear to reduce the Bluetooth connection range:
• The presence of soft, absorbent materials such as paper, fiberglass
insulation, foam material in office cubical walls, carpeting and, to a
lesser extent, even sheetrock and wood construction materials.
• Human bodies or containers of liquid positioned between the host and
the CHS.
• Metal in a grid pattern, such as chain link fencing or chicken wire. This
type of material may block the Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) signal completely.
• The presence and activity level of competing Bluetooth or 802.11
(Wi-Fi) systems using the same 2.4 GHz frequency (very slight).

Appendix B Safety and Usage Tips
About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals
to connect a variety of devices, such as bar code scanners, mobile phones,
Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN access points, and many
other devices at home or work. These radio signals replace the cables that
have traditionally connected these devices.
Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output
power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt). This gives a
working range of approximately 10 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below
recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (1mW)
reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
Product Care
• Do not expose your product to liquid or extreme humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
• Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to
open flames, etc.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could
damage it.
• Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent
normal use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will
void the warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Should your Cordless Hand Scanner need service, please
contact Socket technical support at:
• Treat your product with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
• Changes or modifications of this product, not expressly approved by
Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Antenna Care
Do not place a metallic shield around the Cordless Hand Scanner since it
will reduce the radio transmission efficiency.

APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS 37
Efficient Use
For optimum performance, please make sure that there is no metal
surrounding your Cordless Hand Scanner.
Driving
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles, such as
car stereo, safety equipment, etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to
be sure that the Cordless Hand Scanner will not affect the vehicle’s
electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Cordless Hand Scanner before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must not use
your Cordless Hand Scanner while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Cordless Hand Scanner contains a radio transmitter and receiver.
When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled mobile
computer by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic
fields in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the
radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt. The Cordless Hand Scanner is designed to
be in compliance with the RF exposure limits set by national authorities and
international health agencies

Appendix C Bar Code Label
Specifications
All bar code symbols/labels should satisfy the appropriate AIM Uniform
Symbology Specification.
Background Substrate:
The bar code symbol should be printed on material (media) that is reflective
and has a matte (not glossy) finish. A background diffuse reflectance of at
least 70% to 80% is desirable for optimum contrast. Retro-reflective media
should be used to obtain decode distances greater than 36 inches.
Ink Color and Type:
The inked bars should not exceed 25% reflectance at the wavelength that is
being used for reading, whether printed with black ink or colored ink. The
reflectance value should not vary more than 5% within the same character.
Voids and Specks:
The code should be printed clearly, free of voids, specks, blemishes and
lines that could “fool” the scanner. Specks or blemishes in the white
spaces, or false or missing bar sections could be interpreted by the reading
equipment as part of the code. Generally, the width of such flaws is more
serious than the height. Code symbols/ labels should be rejected if these
defects are present.
Definition:
The bars in the bar code symbol should be well defined. Their edges
should not be rough or fuzzy, so that the bars and spaces have the proper
widths intended for the bar code symbology used.
Contrast:
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes are
printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to the ink
reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference between the two should
be at least 37.5% at the wavelength used for reading.
Tolerance:
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a bar code symbol must
conform to the appropriate AIM bar code specifications and can cause
problems if not correct throughout the bar code. Problems can occur when
bar edges are smeared or rough, or when they exhibit voids.
APPENDIX C: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS 39
Appendix D Enabling or Disabling
Symbologies
The Cordless Hand Scanner is pre-set to automatically detect and decode
(auto-discriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or
disable symbologies, simply use the Symbology screen, accessible from
Options menu from the main screen of .SocketScan.
Notes:
• The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is
used. See Table 1.
• With more symbologies enabled, the scanner must work harder to search
through all the possible combinations. This may make the decoding process
slightly longer.
• The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified
by using the SocketScan Advanced Programming Guide or the SocketScan
SDK. Check Socket’s website for updates.
