General Handling Precautions

Do not dispose the scanner in fire. Do not put the scanner directly in the sun or by any heat source. Do not use or store the scanner in a very humid place. Do not drop the scanner or allow it to collide violently with other objects. Do not take the scanner apart without authorization

Guidance for Printing

This manual is in A5 size. Please double check your printer setting before printing it out. When the barcodes are to be printed out for programming, the use of a high-resolution laser printer is strongly suggested for the best scan result.

Radio Notice
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, it may cause interference to radio communications.
Radio and Television Interference
Operation of this equipment in a residential area can cause interference to radio or television reception. This can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient the receiving antenna.
- Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.
- Move the device away from the receiver.
- Plug the device into a different outlet so that the device and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary the user may consult the manufacturer, and authorized dealer, or experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 U.S.A., Stock No.
004000003454.

Laser Safety

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, it may cause interference to radio communications.

USER’S MANUAL
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may
be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner engine, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not remove the protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not include normal eye glasses worn by the user.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Power Supply

Use only the type of battery and the charging equipments that came with your
scanner.
Using any other type of battery and charging equipment may damage the scanner
and invalidate the warranty.
Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat. Do not attempt to split or peel the outer casing. Remove the battery if the scanner is not going to be used for a long time. If the
battery is left unused for more than 3 months, you need to charge the battery before use.

Caution

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS

Tips to help improve your wireless network
1. Position the access point (host/dongle) in a relatively empty space at central location. When possible, place the access point in a central location on the high ground (1m or above). If your access point is against an outside wall, the signal will be weak on the other side of the room.
2. Move the access point (host/dongle) off the floor and away from walls and metal objects (such as metal file cabinets). Metal objects, walls, and floors will interfere with your wireless signals. The closer your access point is to these obstructions, the more severe the interference, and the weaker your connection will be.

USER’S MANUAL
3. Reduce wireless interference.
The most common wireless technology, 802.11g (wireless-G), operates at a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz (GHz). Many cordless phones, microwave ovens, hospital equipments, refrigerator, LED, and other wireless electronics also use this frequency. If you use these wireless devices in your office, your device might not be able to "hear" the signals over the noise coming from them. If your network uses wireless-G, you can quiet the noise by avoiding wireless electronics that use the 2.4 GHz frequency. Instead, look for cordless phones and other devices that use the 5.8 GHz or 900 megahertz (MHz) frequencies. Because 802.11n (wireless-N) operates at both 2.4 GHz and the less frequently used 5.0 GHz frequency, you may experience less interference on your network if you use this technology.
Avoid possible wireless interference
4. Update the firmware or driver of your wireless dongle.
If you are using a wireless dongle or other similar devices to make the connection, getting the latest firmware or driver updates may improve the performance. Visit your manufacturer’s website for the updates.

USER’S MANUAL
Start Of Configuration

Dongle Host Mode

The scanner communicates with the host through the dongle. Typically, scanner and dongle in the same delivery box are paired and corresponded to host interface in factory. To check if the scanner is paired to the dongle, check the scanner LED for slow blue flash and check the top dongle LED for steady blue light. If scanner LED and dongle LED are both flashing blue, follow the steps below to radio connect the scanner and dongle.
Dongle Host Pairing
1. Please make sure the scanner LED is flashing blue indicating it’s not linked to any host. If the LED shows steady blue, the scanner is already paired to another scanner so you must unpair the scanner before continuing.
2. Power on the scanner and enable dongle host mode if necessary.
3. Use the scanner to scan the pairing barcode at the bottom of the dongle to begin pairing. 3 short beeps will be heard.
4. The LED indicator on the scanner will flash blue rapidly indicating search mode in process. The LED on the dongle becomes steady blue when the pairing is successful.
5. Scan the corresponding host interface the dongle is using to begin using the scanner.
