Protective boot and key retractable reel:
The protective boot for the 2604 Serie is made of ruggedised high density foam. It is made by two
separate units -one covering the hood and the second covering the base of the handle of the scanner- lin-
ked together by an elastic rope. While the protective boot does add some bulk to the scanner, its shock
protection value compensates for this size increase. The protective boot also offers a small ring that can
be attached to a key retractable reel. It is ideal for mobile workers who need a rugged product.
One click connectivity and Auto-
Reconnection:
Just switch on your scanner or just come back
within the Bluetooth range of your host device
to get connected! The connection process,
thanks to the BaracodaManager or thanks
to the Plug&Scan dongles , is automatic and
completely transparent to the user.
One product, two modes:
The scanner can be used in the Real Time
Mode or Batch Mode:
• Real time mode will send barcodes while
scanning.
• Batch mode will store barcodes on the
scanner and the user will upload them when
needed.
Intuitive user interface:
• Only one button to switch on, connect
and scan barcodes
• Multi color led for connection and battery
status
• Sound beeps for successful scanning.
