Description
Manual
Trigger
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until
the trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal
mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field).
Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less
range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very
fast speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Triger-Normal.
Presentation
Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scan engine illumination to detect bar
codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is
presented to the scan engine, then the aimer turns on and the LEDs turn up to read
the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may
not work properly.
Streaming
Presentation
Mode
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan engine’s aimer goes out after a
short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search
for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode
offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced
mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than
Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan
speed and don’t require a long working range.
Host Notify

Appendix B: Statement
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules.
Radiation Exposure Statement
The product complies with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are
safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the
product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is
available.
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported
under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body is 1.266 W/kg.

Industry Canada Equipment Standard for Digital Equipment (ICES) –
Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) –
Canada Statement:
This device complies with ISED license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d' ISED applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation
est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de
l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre
le fonctionnement.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is
not possible.
Pour les produits disponibles aux États-Unis / Canada du marché, seul le canal 1 à 11 peuvent être exploités.
Sélection d'autres canaux n'est pas possible.
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall
comply with the e.i.r.p. limit.
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall
comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.
(iv) the worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set
forth in Section 6.2.2(3) shall be clearly indicated.
(v) users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the
bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN
devices.

Appendix
(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à
l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les
mêmes canaux;
(ii) le gain maximal d’antenne permis pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5470-5725 MHz
doit se conformer à la limite de e.i.r.p.
(iii) le gain maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725-5825 MHz) doit se conformer
à la limite de e.i.r.p. spécifiée pour l’exploitation point à point et non point à point, selon le cas.
(iv) les pires angles d’inclinaison nécessaires pour rester conforme à l’exigence de la p.i.r.e. applicable au
masque d’élévation, et énoncée à la section 6.2.2 3), doivent être clairement indiqués.
(v) de plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés
utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces
radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
Operations in the 5.25-5.35 GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only.
Les opérations dans la bande de 5.25-5.35 GHz sont limités à un usage intérieur seulement.
Radiation Exposure Statement
The product complies with the Canada portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are
safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the
product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is
available.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations
Le produit est conforme aux limites d'exposition pour les appareils portables RF pour les Etats-Unis et le Canada
établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
Le produit est sûr pour un fonctionnement tel que décrit dans ce manuel. La réduction aux expositions RF peut être
augmentée si l'appareil peut être conservé aussi loin que possible du corps de l'utilisateur ou que le dispositif est
réglé sur la puissance de sortie la plus faible si une telle fonction est disponible.
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported
under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body is 1.266 W/kg.
Ces exigences établissent une limite SAR de 1,6 W / kg en moyenne sur un gramme de tissu. La valeur SAR la plus
élevée déclarée selon cette norme lors de la certification du produit à utiliser lorsqu'il est correctement porté sur le
corps est de 1.266 W / kg.
