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, 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 cradle 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.
If you shall find the scanner malfunctioning, write down the specific scenario and
consult your local sales representative.

The Metapace S-22 scanner, which is specifically designed to answer your mobile
demands, helps 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. Integrated with
short-distance wireless technology, the small-form-factor scanner is ideal for carrying
around, and thus gives workers tether-free mobility anytime anywhere that gets job
done more efficiently. The scanner delivers data over a wireless personal network at a
range of up to 90 meters and keeps business running with a prolonged battery life. A
new ordering option is provided for adapting a 2D scan engine to read both 1D and 2D
barcodes.
Owing to the slim, ergonomic design, extremely low power consumption, and powerful
decoding capability, the scanner is the best choice for the following applications –
Receiving in Retail
Product labeling & Tracking
Shelf 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.
Thank you for choosing our products!

Metapace S-22 Hardware Manual
GETTING FAMILIARIZED WITH METAPACE S-22 AND THE CRADLE
INSTALLING THE BATTERY TO METAPACE S-22
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) Hold the scanner still and insert the battery into the battery compartment at the
bottom of the scanner.
2) Slide the battery latch to lock the battery in the compartment.
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. Refer to settings of “1.1.1 Turn
on/off the Scanner”.
(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 capacity becomes low, you will find the scanner cannot emit
scan beam and its power-on beep sounds differently.

Introduction
SETTING UP THE CRADLE
Capable of charging Metapace S-22, the cradle is specifically designed for the scanner to
communicate with a host computer wirelessly. The connection between the scanner and
the cradle is made easy and reliable. Refer to 3.1.1 Connect to the Cradle. The cradle is
also an Auto-Sense stand when used with the scanner set to Auto-Sense mode.
The table below describes the status of the power and communication LED indicators of
the cradle.

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. Please follow the
steps below.
Note: It takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power
adaptor). Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or
exceeds 40°C. It is recommended charging 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 cord of the cradle to a proper power outlet.
5) The power LED indicator on the cradle turns solid red after the USB cable or the
power cord is connected.
Warning: RS-232/USB interface both require connecting the power supply cord.
When the cradle is solely on USB power, the current may be insufficient for
it to function normally. Therefore, we suggest connecting the power supply
cord.
6) The scanner LED indicator will be flashing red during charging.
When the charging is done, the scanner LED indicator turns off.
If a charging error occurs, the scanner LED indicator turns solid red.
7) The LED for communications on the cradle will first become solid blue while initializing.
Refer to the table above for details on different stage of communications.
Warning: If the two pivot bolts are not tightened properly, charging error may occur.

Update
The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in
this manual or via the software Metapace.exe.
This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup
barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.
Configuration Mode
1. Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a long beep
and its LED will come on-off shortly.
2. Have the scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED
indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode.
3. Have the scanner read more setup barcodes. Most of the setup barcodes are normal ones. The
scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone). For special setup barcodes, it requires
reading more than one setup barcode to complete the setting.
4. Have the scanner read the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its
LED indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode.
5. The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will
respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.
Note: Refer to Appendix I Host Serial Commands for how to configure the cradle by
having the scanner read cradle-related setup barcodes or using serial commands.

Working Mode
Upon powering up, the scanner will try to establish a connection with the cradle or a computer with
Bluetooth®wireless technology. Refer to Chapter 3 – Setting up a WPAN Connection for details.
The connection between the scanner and the cradle is made easy and reliable.
Note: If RS-232, USB Virtual COM or BT SPP is selected for output interface, the host can
directly send serial commands to configure the scanner. For example, run
HyperTerminal.exe and type the 6-digit command located under each setup
barcode. Refer to Appendix I Host Serial Commands.
