Introduction
The Phaser P 370/470 Radio Frequency (RF) scanner brings new
flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in
retail operations. The RF scanner has an integrated keypad and
display, communicates with a base station and is battery-powered.
This provides advanced point-of-sale scanning and also allows the
scanner to be used for other in-store tasks such as delivery,
inventory, pricing, and even gift registry. There are two versions
available:
• P 470: the RF retail version
• P 370: the RF industrial version

refers to both versions of the scanner.
Charge the Battery
Before its first use, the battery must be charged. After the base/
charger has been connected, insert the scanner into the base/charger.
T o charge the scanner , place it front-side down into the base/charger.
Make sure that the contacts in the botto m o f th e scanner match up

A full charge takes up to 4 hours, you may need less time depend ing
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.

Keyboard Entry
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.
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.

the low power radio transmission through RF transceivers in the

• At that time, through the scanner’s contact shoe, there is an
exchange of information (addressing, RF channels, etc.) between the scanner and the base/charger’s cradle. This occurs in
less than a second.
• After the exchange is complete, the scanner and base/charger
are paired. Successful pairing is indicated by as warble beep;

With this set, you are ready to scan bar codes.
Set Transmission Frequency (Optional)
The scanner and base can communicate on a number of different
channel frequencies, which varies by country. In most countries,
there are 80 availa ble channels (numbered 2 thro ugh 81); in Fra nce,
there are only 9 channels (numbered 46 th rough 54).
The initial transmission frequency is determined by the base’s
unique address, so neighboring systems operate on different
channels without interfering with each other. Occassionally, there
may be noticeable inter ference on a channel fr om some other source
of radio transmissions. The system has been programmed to change
the channel automatically if it detects excessive interference, but the
channel may also be changed manually if there are communications
problems.

Recharging the Battery
When necessary, recharge the batteries. To do so with the base/
charger:
• Connect the power supply to the power input port on the
front panel of the base/charger, as illustrated below.
• Connect the power suppl y to a receptacle supplying AC power
of the proper voltage level.
• Then place the scanner into the base/charger cradle, s o that
the nose of the scanner and tip of the handle fit snugly into the
receptacles. Check the charge status indicator (blinking rapidly = fully charged) for full charge, which occurs in less than
two hours. However, the scanner can be used on less than full
charge.

Troubleshooting
If the scanner does not work after you’v e foll ow ed these ope rat ing
instructions:
• Check the system power.
• Check that scanning is enabled.
• Check that the battery is installed correctly.
• Check for loose cable conn ections.
• Be sure the Phas er is program med to read the type of bar code
you are trying to scan.
• Check to be sure the symbol is not defaced.
• Check that the correct power supply is attached to the base/
charger.
• Check for correct host interface cable or loose cable connections at the base/charger and host device.
• Make sure the device is programmed to read the type of bar
code you want to scan.
• Try scanning similar symbols of the same code type.
• Make sure the scanner and base/charger have been successfully paired.
• Be sure you’re within the proper scanning and transmission
range (30 to 50 ft., or 9 - 15 meters).
You get frequent communication errors (6 beeps after decode)
• Check that you are within transmit range.
• Check that the scanner is successfully paired with the base/
charger.
You get frequent communication errors (6 beeps after decode):
• Check that the base/charger is powered up and that its cable
