2. Scan the QuickConnect Code located on the front of the Charging Staon with embedded CodeXML® modem or on the external
CodeXML® M3 Modem. For additonal CodeXML® M3 Modem conguraon informaon, please reference the CodeXML® M3
Modem QuickStart Guide.
3. The wireless icon located at the top of the reader will ash as it aempts to make connecon. The blue LED on the charging
staon or CodeXML® M3 Modem will also ash as it aempts to connect. The blue LED will turn on when connecon is estab-
lished, the CR2600 will beep once and the wireless icon will ash every 10 seconds.
Important Note If Using a non-Code Bluetooth Device:
To connect to a Bluetooth device not manufactured by Code, you will need the Bluetooth address (oen referred to as the
BD_ADDR) of that device. The 12-character Bluetooth address can be found on the device near the serial number. Then visit Code’s
website at: hp://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php and enter the 12-character address to create the QuickConnect Code.
You will need to locate the Communicaons (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port protocol before installing the
Bluetooth Conguraon Manager soware that is included with your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port
through which the CR2600 will connect.

Press and hold one of the buons or trigger on the CR2600, the two blue bars eming from the reader are used for targeng.
Center the blue bars in the middle of a bar code. The opmal reading distance from reader to bar code is approximately 4.0” (10
cm). Once the reader is at the opmal distance, the reader will automacally read the bar code.
The CR2600 will beep, vibrate and the good read indicator will ash green to indicate a ‘good read’ has occurred.

The CR2600 needs only minimum maintenance to operate. The ps below for maintenance suggesons.
Cleaning the CR2600
The CR2600 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plasc piece inside the
head of the reader. Avoid touching the window. Your CR2600 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty
window may stop the CR2600 from reading bar codes.
If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a so, non-abrasive cloth or a facial ssue (no loons or addives) that has been
moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened
cloth or ssue aer using the detergent.
The following agents are approved to clean a Code bar code reader:
1) Alcohol Wipes
2) Clorox® Non-Bleach Disenfecng Wipes
3) Clorox Bleach Soluon (10% Clorox bleach, 90% tap water)
4) Medical DiAirKem
5) Sani-Cloth® HB, Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal, Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal Disposable Wipes
6) Virex® II Disinfectant Cleaner
