shall pay AirTrack the applicable list price for such licenses as of the date of
such breach.
3.2 End User shall not sell, assign, sublicense, distribute, lend, rent, give, or oth-

AirTrack S1-BT
With rich feature sets and extensive options, the S1-BT prod-
uct series from AirTrack represents the premium level of data
collection equipment for general purpose applications. The
S1-BT readers have enhanced optics with improved motion
tolerance, allowing codes placed on fast moving objects to be
easily and quickly captured. These features help to create the
ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those
found in retail and light industrial environments.
Omni-
Directional
Operation
To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull the
trigger. The
S1-BT reader is a versatile linear imager,
featuring a wide scanning angle with an extended
scanning line which is perfect for reading long and
truncated bar codes.
AirTrack's exclusive patented `Green Spot' for good-
read feedback helps to improve productivity in noisy
environments or in situations where silence is
required.
Decoding
Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) bar codes,
including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes.
The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol
— is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immedi-
ately available to read another symbol.

Setting Up the Reader
2S1-BT
Setting Up the Reader
Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up, and
communicating with its host.
1. Configure the Base Station starting on this page.
2. Charge the Batteries (see page 8).
3. Link to the Base Station (see page 11).
4. Select the Interface Type (see page 21).
5. Configure the Reader starting on page 14 (optional,
depends on settings needed).
Locking the Reader to the Base
The Base Station provides a locking mechanism to ensure
electrical contact between Reader and Base, in case of inad-
vertent movements.
To Lock the Reader in the Base
1. Insert the Reader into the Base. The lock lever rests
in its natural disengaged position toward the bot-
tom of the Base.

as far as it will go.
Figure 2. Lever in locked position
NOTE
It is good practice to put the reader in the locked
condition at the end of the working shift, or
when not in use for an extended period of time.
This will ensure that the scanner is fully seated
for complete battery recharge.

Connecting the Base Station
4S1-BT
Connecting the Base Station
Figure 3 on page 5 shows how to connect the Base Station to
a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off the host before
connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if
necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable
before applying power to the Base Station.
Base Station Connection and Routing
1. Remove the rubber Cable Stopper from the bottom of
the Base Station.
2. Securely plug the Power Cable (if used) and Interface
(I/F) Cable connectors into their respective ports in the
underside of the Base Station.
NOTE
The S1-BT can also be Powered by the Terminal.
When powered by the Terminal, the battery char-
ger is automatically set as Slow charge.
For some specific interfaces, hosts, or lengths of
cable, the use of an external power supply may be
recommended for full recharging capability (see
"Technical Specifications" on page 30 for more
details).

4. Connect the Base Station power adapter to an AC wall
outlet.
Figure 3. Connecting the Base Station
Host Connection —
Verify before connection that the reader’s
cable type is compatible with your host equipment.
NOTE
The S1-BT can be set up to require a PIN code
when connecting to the host. If you are adding
new equipment to a system that uses a custom
security PIN, please see the PRG (Product Ref-
erence Guide, available on the AirTrack website)
for more information.

nection where its female end mates with the male end of the
cable from the keyboard and the remaining end at the key-
board port on the terminal/PC.
Figure 4. Connecting to the Host
Power Connection —
Plug the AC Adapter into an approved AC
socket. If plugged into the wall, ensure cable is facing down-
wards (as shown in Figure 3) to prevent undue strain on the
socket.

Charging the Battery Pack
To charge the battery, simply insert the S1-BT reader into the
base. When the scanner is fully seated in the cradle, it will
sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the
scanner connection.
The LEDs on the base (shown in Table 1 on page 7) will indi-
cate the status of the battery.
Alternatively, the battery can be charged by connecting the
reader directly to a host through the micro-USB connector
available in the bottom of the handle, as shown.
Replacing the Battery Pack
1. Using a coin or screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw
located on the bottom of the scanner handle until the
battery pack is disengaged.
The battery pack will rise slightly in the rear, pushed by
the contact springs.
NOTE
Before using the battery, read “Battery Safety” in
the Regulatory Addendum included with your
product. AirTrack recommends annual replace-
ment of rechargeable battery packs to ensure
maximum performance.

2. Extract the battery pack by slightly rotating the pack
and pulling away from the reader.
To mount the new battery pack reverse the process:
1. Insert the top of the new pack inside the reader’s han-
dle.
2. Rotate the battery pack downward while pressing the
bottom side of the battery pack (to seat securely into
the contact springs) so that the edges of the pack and
the handle board are aligned, while securing the cap-
tive screw in the bottom of the handle.

For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is nec-
essary to link the handheld with the base.
To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to
wake up the handheld and mount it into the base. If the
reader was previously linked to another base, you must
first press and hold the button on the base (>5 seconds),
then scan the
Unlink bar code before re-linking to the new
base.
Linking to a Bluetooth Adapter in
Serial Port Profile Mode
1. Install any drivers provided with the Bluetooth
adapter.
2. Scan the
Enable RF Link to Server label below to
make the scanner visible to the host computer.
3. Use the host computer’s Bluetooth manager to
“Discover new devices” and select "AirTrack

be necessary to disable security on the device.
4. Use an RS-232 terminal program to see incom-
ing data on the port designated by the com-
puter's Bluetooth manager.
