FOR USA
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which 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 or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FOR CANADA
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled
"Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of Industry Canada. This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux
appareils numeriques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le material brouilleur:
"Appareils Numeriques," NMB-003 edictee par l'Industrie.
IMPORTANT NOTICES

FOR HAND-HELD PRODUCT WITH RF FUNCTIONS
The 2560 unit (FCC ID: Q3N-2560) complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth
for uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The unit has very low level of RF energy that it is
deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
The cradle unit (FCC ID: Q3N-25BTBASE) complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body. It only operated in
hand-held used. If you only transfer data to the host wirelessly, please keep the
minimum distance 20 cm between machine & your body.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
The use of any batteries or charging devices, which are not originally sold or
manufactured by CipherLab, will void your warranty and may cause damage to
human body or the product itself.
DO NOT disassemble, incinerate or short circuit the battery.
DO NOT expose the scanner or the battery to any flammable sources.
For green-environment issue, it's important that batteries should be recycled in a
proper way.
Under no circumstances, internal components are self-serviceable.
The charging device uses an AC power adaptor. A socket outlet shall be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Make sure there is stable power supply
for the scanner or its peripherals to operate properly.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Use a clean cloth to wipe dust off the scanning window and the body of the scanner
as well as the charging device. DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner.
If you want to put away the scanner for a period of time, download the collected data
to a host computer when in the memory mode, and then take out the battery. Store
the scanner and battery separately.
When the scanner resumes its work, make sure the battery is fully charged before
use.
Keep the scanner away from any magnets and magnetic fields to prevent the laser
engine from malfunctioning.
If you shall find the scanner malfunctioning, write down the specific scenario and
consult your local sales representative.

CipherLab’s barcode scanners are specifically designed to answer your mobile demands.
The versatile scanners are designed to help accelerate productivity while lowering the
total cost of ownership. Intensive data collection jobs are made easier with fast, accurate
barcode scanning in various working environments, especially in small businesses.
Integrating short-distance wireless technology to small-form-factor scanners, the
scanners are ideal for carrying around, and thus give workers tether-free mobility
anytime anywhere and get job done more efficiently. This line of scanners deliver data
over a wireless personal network at a range of up to 100 meters and a prolonged battery
life to keep business running.
Owing to the slim, ergonomic design, extremely low power consumption, and powerful
decoding capability, the barcode scanners are the best choice for the following
applications –
Receiving in Retail
Product labeling & Tracking
Shelf Product Replenishment
Mobile Point of Sale (POS)
Mobile Inventory Management
Order Picking & Staging
Work-In-Process Tracking
Material Flow Control
Transportation & Distribution
Warehousing
Asset Management
This manual contains information on operating the scanner and using its features. We
recommend that you keep one copy of the manual at hand for quick reference or
maintenance purposes. To avoid any improper disposal or operation, please read the
manual thoroughly before use.

GETTING FAMILIARIZED WITH THE SCANNER AND THE CRADLE
INSTALLING THE BATTERY TO THE SCANNER
When you first receive the package, the rechargeable battery is stored separately from
the scanner. Insert the battery into the scanner first so that it can be charged when
sitting in the cradle.
Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
1) Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the battery cap.
2) Use a coin or flat-blade screw driver to rotate the battery cap clockwise until snug.
3) Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner.
4) The scanner will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.
Note: (1) To turn off the scanner, remove the battery.
(2) For shipping and storage purposes, save the scanner and the battery
separately. This will keep the battery in good condition for future use.
(3) When the battery charge becomes low, you will find the scanner cannot emit
scan beam and its power-on beep sounds differently.

Introduction
CHARGING THE BATTERY VIA THE CRADLE
The battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package,
you will need to charge the battery to full before using the scanner. When using the
RS-232 cable, it takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the
power adaptor).
Note: Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It
is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for
optimal performance.
1) Install the battery to the scanner.
2) Seat the scanner in the cradle.
3) Connect the cradle to your computer or notebook via the USB or RS-232 cable.
4) Connect the power supply cord from the cradle to a proper power outlet.
Warning: RS-232/USB interface both require connecting the power supply cord.
