Power on handheld unit: Press the power button on the handheld unit for two seconds.
Power off handheld unit: Press the power button on the handheld unit for two seconds.
Installation of cradle
1. Switch off power of the host. Refer to the below pictures, connect the host with the scanner with
different cables firstly, and then connect the adaptor to the power socket.
2. Ensure that all connections are secure. Switch on the power of the host. After a few seconds, if
only the blue LED on the cradle is ON, it indicates the cradle is in normal working mode.
Otherwise, make a short press on the S button on the cradle to reset the cradle.

Charge battery
1. Please charge the battery before the first time of use. The
charge indicator on the handheld unit is turned on when the
charging is in process. When the charging process completes,
the charge indicator is turned off.
2. Charging time: 8 hours for fully charged.

Point coordination
Distributed coordination
)A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle (with USB, or RS232, or PS2 cable), a 5V
AC/DC adaptor (for battery charge) and a CD-ROM (containing software and manuals).
)Use dry and soft cloth to clean the handheld unit and the cradle.
)Effective data communication range: The radio communication distance is up to 200 meters
under the condition of temperature at 27 degrees Celsius, sunny day, and visibility of 5
kilometers. Natural surroundings significantly affect the communication distance in practice.
The distance drops quickly in the rainy, high-humidity, or heavy haze day; radio interference also
shortens the communication distance.
)This series of scanners provide a variety of wireless communication mode, and support batch data
mode (offline data storage). It is suggested to read the user manual in details before use.

Notes about radio communication
1. The scanner offers two kinds of wireless network topology: point coordination and distributed
coordination. The default setting of wireless network topology is point coordination. To change
the wireless network topology, you must change the setting of both handheld unit and cradle.
2. The scanners within same working area must apply the same wireless network topology.
3. When the point coordination wireless network topology is used, if multi-clusters are working in
the same area, then each cluster must use a different radio frequency channel. Both of the
handheld unit and cradle must be configured individually.
4. When the distributed coordination wireless network topology is used, 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

Note 1- The factory default settings are indicated with asterisks (*).
Note 2- The settings indicated with (※) are valid only when the cradle is in upgrade ready mode.
Cradle entering upgrade ready mode
Keep pressing the S button on the cradle, until the blue LED is flashing. Then three LEDs will all
be turned ON, this indicates the cradle being upgrade ready mode.
