Charging Instructions
Please Read Before Charging
Power Requirements:
This scanner requires a 5V/1A USB port for charging. It’s essen-
tial to use a power source that delivers a stable 5V/1A output.
Using a power source with a higher voltage or amperage could
damage the device and void the warranty.
USB Charging:
- The scanner can be charged via a 5V/1A USB port found on
various devices, including computers, laptops, and USB wall
adapters.
- Ensure the USB port you use provides a stable output of 5V/1A.
- Avoid connecting to USB ports that do not meet these specifi-
cations, as this may lead to slow or insufficient charging or even
damage to the device.
Charging Safety:
- Do not modify or tamper with the USB cable or charging port.
- Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into the USB port for
a proper connection.
- If using a USB wall adapter, choose a reputable brand that
meets the required 5V/1A output.
- Keep the charging area well-ventilated and free of flammable
materials.
- Unplug the USB cable from the power source when not in use.
Failure to follow these guidelines may damage your device and
void the warranty. Our company is not liable for any damages
resulting from the use of incompatible power sources.

Operation Modes
Real Time Mode
Storage Mode
By default, the barcode scanner is in real time mode and it transmits scanned data
into the host device immediately.
Storage mode is used to store barcode data when a scanner is out of range of its
receiver or when performing inventory. The data is stored in the memory so it won’t
get lost when the barcode scanner is turned off. When the scanner's buffer space is
full, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to clear the scanner's
buffer, you must scan Clear All Stored Codes.
Keyboard Country Layout
Your keyboard layout default is a US keyboard. To change this layout, scan the
appropriate Keyboard Country barcode below.
(Please note that if the keyboard layout on your scanner doesn't match your
computer's, the outputs may be incorrect. )

is back in range. To transmit the stored data, you need to scan the following code.
Total Records
If you wish to output the total number of barcodes scanned when in storage mode,
scan Total Records.
Clear All Stored Codes
If you want to clear the scanner's buffer of all data accumulated in storage mode,
scan Clear All Stored Codes.
Pairing the Scanner with its Charging Cradle
If the scanner doesn’t connect to the charging cradle automatically, please follow
these steps to re-establish the connection.
Step 1: Unplug the charging cralde (If the cradle is not plugged in, please disregard
this step)
Step 2: Scan the “2.4GHz Mode” barcode
Step 3: Scan the “Pairing” barcode
Step 4: Plug the charging cradle in to a working USB port on your computer

Pairing the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices
The scanner can be paired with Bluetooth devices such as personal computers,
laptops, and tablets.
Step 1: Scan the “Bluetooth HID” barcode and the “Pairing” barcode below to
establish one-way communication with the scanner.
USB-COM/Virtual Serial Port
Scan the following code to program the scanner to emulate a regular RS232-based
COM Port. No extra configuration is necessary. No driver is required. To exit
USB-COM mode, please scan the 2.4GHz Mode barcode to enable the scanner to
emulate a keyboard.
Case Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase.
So if you have the following barcode: "AZErty", you can make the output "AZERTY" by
scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to "azerty" by Convert All
Characters to Lower Case.
Step 2: Set your personal computer, laptop, or tablet so it searches for other
Bluetooth devices.
Step 3: Once your personal computer, laptop, or tablet has located the scanner, select
the scanner name. They will automatically pair with the scanner.

Termination Suffixes - Enter, Tab
By default, the scanner adds a carriage return suffix to all symbologies. If you don’t
want the scanner to “press” the Enter key after every scan, please scan the “None”
barcode below to remove the default termination suffix. If you need the scanner to
“press” the Tab key after every scan, please scan the “Horizontal Tab” barcode below.
Timestamp
If you want to record the time and date for every scan, scan either Time & Date Prefix
or Time & Date Suffix.
Removal of Characters
If you need to remove leading and/or trailing characters from scanned bar codes,
please follow these steps:
1. Scan the “Remove characters from the start” barcode or the “Remove characters
from the end” barcode

3 digits 4 digits
5 digits 6 digits
7 digits 8 digits
9 digits 10 digits
11 digits 12 digits
13 digits 14 digits
15 digits 16 digits
2. Scan the appropriate code from the digit codes below：
(Example: If a barcode reads "ABC123" and you want to extract "BC1," you should first
scan the “Remove characters from the start” barcode, followed by the “1 digit”
barcode. Then, scan the “Remove characters from the end” barcode, followed by the
“2 digits” barcode.)

Manual Trigger Mode*
Continuous Scan Mode
Sensor-activated Mode
Scan Modes
Manual Trigger Mode
A scan mode for reading barcodes by pulling the trigger. When in manual trigger
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.
Sensor-activated Mode
For sensor-activated mode, when the scanner is idle it has no illumination, and uses
predominantly ambient light to detect if an object is moving in front of the scanner.
The scanner is expected to reside in a fixed position. Whenever it detects activity in
the field of view it will turn on the illumination and attempt to read a barcode. After
reading the barcode the illumination will be default remain on for defined period,
before it returns to idle state again.
Note: Both Continuous Scan Mode and Sensor-activated Mode are referred to as
“Hands free Modes. If the scanner's trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode,
the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. Once the time-out value is reached(if
there have been no further trigger pulls), the scanner reverts to the previous hands
free mode.
Continuous Scan Mode
A scan mode that continuously keeps scanning barcodes.
