Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The HR15 wireless 1D barcode scanner reads a 1D barcode by capturing its image. Adopting the advanced
technology independently developed by Newland Auto-ID Tech, it provides five scan modes, including Level mode, Sense
mode and Continuous mode, tailored to different scanning needs.
An illustrated introduction to the HR15 is included in this chapter. If you have an HR15 scanner at hand, make good use of
it to develop a better understanding of this manual. This chapter is written for normal users, maintenance staff and software
developers.
Features of the HR15
More reliable, more versatile, more efficient scanning solution
Bluetooth 5.0 radio
User-friendly illumination
Ultra-rugged construction
Unpacking
Open the package and take out HR15 scanner and its accessories. Check to make sure everything on the packing list is
present and intact. If any contents are damaged or missing, please keep the original package and contact your dealer
immediately for after-sales service.
