Notice
Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to
perform at the level for which it is designed.
1) All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.
2) The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or
design.
3) The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.
4) The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise
from the use of this manual.
5) A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle, a USB cable, and a quick guide.
6) Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the
scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper
operation.
7) Use a blunt object to operate the stroke keys. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage stroke
keys and cause shorting of internal circuitry.
8) Do not remove the battery from the barcode scanner before you read the instructions carefully.
9) Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating
the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid
conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries
completely before using the scanner.
10) If multi-clusters are working in the same area, it is strongly recommended that different radio
frequency channel numbers are applied to different clusters. While setting up, only the radio
frequency channel number of the first handheld unit of a single cluster is required to be set. When
the first handheld unit binds to the cradle, the cradle will automatically obtain the radio frequency
channel number of the handheld unit. The consecutive joined handheld units will automatically
obtain the radio frequency channel number of the cradle.
11) In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, when in multi-clusters working mode, the
physical space between two cradles is required to be at least 2 meters.
12) In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, it is recommended to place the cradle on a
higher location, generally more than 1 meter above the ground. If working outdoor, the higher
location the better.
