Quick Reference
Introduction
The Phaser P 360/460 Memory Scanner brings new flexibility and
economy to data capture and data management in retail operations.
The Phaser has an integrated keypad and display, and is able to
operate in both corded and battery-powered cordless modes. This
provides advanced point-of-sale scanning and also allows the
Phaser to be used for other in-store tasks such as delivery, inventory,
pricing, and even gift registry. There are two versions available:
• P 460: the batch retail version
• P 360: the batch industrial version
This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up
and use of the scanner. Unless otherwise noted, the term Phaser
refers to both versions of the scanner.

Setting up the Phaser
Installing the Cable
Note that the P 360 does not have a cable interface.
There are two kinds of cables that attach to the Phaser:
- an RS-232 which connects directly to a host
- a Synapse Adapter cable that connects to a Synapse Smart
Cable.
To Install a Synapse Smar t Cable
Refer to the instructions from the Synapse cable.
To Install an RS-232 Cable
1. Switch off all devices connected to the Phaser cable.
2. Plug the modular connector on the cable into the receptacle in
the bottom of the Phaser handle.
The twistlock can be
slipped down
the cable to
facilitate
connecting.
2
Quick Reference
3. Turn the cable twist-lock 1/8 turn clockwise to seat it.
4. Gently pull the cable to make certain it is properly seated.
5. Plug the other end of the cable to the host computer.
Disconnecting Cables
Most hosts require RS-232 cables, all other hosts require Synapse
cables. To disconnect the scanner cable:
1. Power down all the devices connected to the Phaser cable.
2. Remove the cable by twisting the twist-lock 1/8 turn counterclockwise and pulling the cable out.

Installing or Changing the Battery
1. Slide the battery compartment release latch down and remove
the battery compartment cover.

2. Slide the battery towards the bottom of the scanner and then
pull the bottom of the battery up and out of the scanner.

Replacing the Battery
1. Seat the battery fully in the scanner and then slide it up the
handle.
2. Replace the battery compartment cover and slide the release
latch up to secure the cover in place.

Quick Reference
Powering Up the Scanner
To turn the scanner on, press the “Enter” key or pull the trigger. The
scanner is automatically brought out of sleep mode and into
scanning mode.
Recharging the Scanner in the Cradle
To recharge the scanner, place it front-side down into the cradle.
Make sure that the contacts in the bottom of the scanner match up
with the metal contacts on the cradle.
A full re-charge takes up to 4 hours, you may need less time
depending upon the remaining charge in the battery. The LED light
on the bottom of the cradle becomes solid to alert you when the
battery has been recharged.
Scanning with the Phaser
For POS operation, the scanner ships with a default application that
is ready-to-use right out of the box. Otherwise, consult the Phaser
Series Scanner Product Reference Guide (p/n 70-33629-xx) for
programming instructions. If you need assistance, contact your
local supplier or Symbol Support Center.

P360/460
Memory Scanne r
1. If you are using the scanner in a POS environment, make sure
all cable connections are secure. Otherwise, make sure the battery is charged.
2. Make sure the bar code is in the correct scanning range. Aim
and press the trigger. When the scanner has read the symbol:
- You hear a beep.
- The LED above the screen turns green.
- The red laser turns off.
Keyboa rd Entr y
Instead of scanning a bar code, you can enter the bar code’s data
using the keypad on the top of the scanner. To enter numeric
characters, press the number key on the keypad.
To enter alpha characters, press the Mode key once to put the
scanner in Alpha Mode. Press the numeric key with the letter you
want above it - once for the first letter, quickly twice for the second
letter, or quickly three times for the third letter.
To return to numeric mode, press the Mode key again.
6
Quick Reference
The * key is a special key that can be programmed for custom
specific operations. Ask your system administrator for more
information.
Host Communications
With some terminal types, the Phaser is unable to answer host
terminal polls until the appropriate host type is selected. This may
result in an error message generated by the host computer. Contact
your System Administrator for assistance.
Aiming
Hold at an angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light
reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known
as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and
make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs
is known as a “dead zone”.
You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a
successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to
work within.

Scan the entire symbol
• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol
(as in the left bar code below).
• The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the
scanner.
• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close
together.
Right Wrong
What Does The Beep Mean?
When you hear 1 beep (short high tone) it means data has been
decoded successfully. If any other beeps are heard, contact the
technical person in charge of scanning.
Troubleshooting
If the scanner does not work after you’ve followed these operating
instructions:
• Check the system power.
• Check that scanning is enabled.
• Check that the battery is installed correctly.
• Check for loose cable connections.
• Be sure the Phaser is programmed to read the type of bar code
you are trying to scan.
• Check to be sure the symbol is not defaced.
Cleaning
Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue or other
material suitable for cleaning optical material, such as eyeglasses.
Caution: Do not pour, spray or spill any liquid on the scanner.
