INTRODUCTION
LS6000B / LS6000Z laser barcode scanners series have incorporated the latest
wireless blue-tooth / Zig-bee technology. The technology provides customer with
the freedom of mobility, with long communication range from the charging
cradle.
The bar code scanner requires establishing communications with its charging
cradle (built-in dongle). After communications have been established between
the scanner and charging cradle, futures bar code scans will be transmitted from
the scanner to the cradle and from the cradle to the host.
For power supply, the charging cradle of LS6000B / LS6000Z also works as a
battery charger for the scanner. Users can plug in 5V DC power adaptor for
power charge of the scanner.

Tip
Do not hold the scanner directly over a barcode at 90˚. Scanning light bounces
directly back into the scanner from the barcode label is known as specular reflection
which will create a "dead zone" where decoding is difficult. Practice a few times to
find what range of angles works best.
Maintenance
Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may
affect scanning accuracy.
Wipe the scanner window gently with a lens tissue or other material suitable for
cleaning optical material.
Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.
