5. If anything is missing or appears to be damaged,
immediately contact your dealer.
ATTENTION
Store the packing material and boxes: it should
be used whenever the V-1010BT is transported
for service.

6
3.2 V-1010BT Cradle Installation
To setup your V-1010BT scanner with Bluetooth technology,
please follow the steps.
1. Connect the supplied communication cable at the
bottom side of the cradle.
2. Connect the other side of the communication cable
to the right connector of your POS or HOST system.
3. Plug the external power supply into the power jack
on the bottom of the cradle.
4. Plug the power supply into the AC outlet.
5. Turn on your POS or HOST system.

7
3.3 V-1010BT Setup Bluetooth Communication
3.3.1 Pairing
Pairing refers to when a V-1010BT scanner has been linked
or paired to a specific cradle by scanning that cradle’s
Bluetooth MAC address code. This Bluetooth MAC address
code is unique for each cradle. This address code is
located on the bottom side of the cradle. The pairing of
a V-1010BT scanner to a cradle is one to one. Only one V-
1010BT scanner can be paired to a cradle at any point in
time.
3.3.2 Setup SPP Master Mode Communication
To setup the communication between the V-1010BT scanner
and the cradle, follow the steps:
1. The V-1010BT scanner must scan “SPP Master Mode”
barcode to set the V-1010BT scanner in Master mode.
2. Scan the Bluetooth MAC address code located on the
bottom of the cradle.
3. When the Bluetooth MAC was successfully scanned,
scanner will initiate with 3 short beep sounds. Blue
LED will blink followed by a long beep sound.
4. Wait approximately five seconds, for completing the
connection process. Blue LED will slow flash on
scanner for connecting the cradle.
5. If successful, the blue LED on the cradle will be on.
6. If the connections failed, the blue LED on scanner
will be off, and the cradle indicators blinking blue
LED.

8
ATTENTION
The V-1010BT scanner must be charged for a
minimum of 8 hours before the scanner can be
placed in full operation for the first time.
The scanner LED will indicate in red when the
scanner is charged.
After the battery is full, the green LED on
scanner will be on. The charge green LED will
be off when the scanner leaving from cradle.
If the battery power of the V-1010BT is too
low, the V-1010BT will indicate red LED and
beeper warning.
It is important to know that the V-1010BT scanner will
only communicate with the cradle whose unique Bluetooth
MAC address was last scanned.
If a cradle is paired with the V-1010BT scanner, another
V-1010BT scanner can’t be paired with that cradle until
the original connection is interrupted.
If you pair a second V-1010BT scanner to an in-use cradle,
the cradle’s connection to the first V-1010BT scanner
will be interrupted and the connection will be re-
established with the second V-1010BT scanner.

3.3.3 Setup SPP Slave Mode Communication
To setup the communication between the V-1010BT scanner
and Bluetooth SPP profile application device, follow the
steps.
1. The V-1010BT scanner must scan “SPP Slave Mode”
barcode, to set the V-1010BT scanner in Slave mode.
2. When control the Bluetooth device to search the
scanner, enter pin code (default 00:00:00) to setup
comport.
3. When V-1010BT scanner is successful connected, the
scanner Blue LED will also blink followed by a long
beep sound. Blue LED will slow flash to finish the
setup.
3.3.4 Setup HID Slave Mode Communication
To setup the communication between the V-1010BT scanner
and Bluetooth HID profile application device, follow the
steps.
1. The V-1010BT scanner must scan “HID Slave Mode”
barcode, to set the V-1010BT scanner in HID Slave
mode.
2. When control the Bluetooth device to search the
scanner, enter pin code to setup pair. You can scan
number barcode on Appendix B.”ASCII VALUE TABLE”
number 0~9 to setup.
3. When V-1010BT scanner is successful connected,
scanner Blue LED will also blink followed by a long
beep sound. Blue LED will slow flash to finish the
setup.
3.3.5 Sleep Mode
The V-1010BT scanner enters sleep mode to save battery
energy, when the V-1010BT scanner is used for 1 minute or
10 minute time. During sleep mode all the functions and
connection will be halted. After press the red trigger
button the scanner will wake up and reconnect the
communication with the cradle or Bluetooth device.

10
3.3.6 Batch Mode
This batch mode is enabled when you have scanned “Batch
Mode on”. The scanned data is stored in the memory of the
SG700BT scanner instead of being transmitted. You can
delete the last scanned bar code data by scanning “Delete
Last Data” bar code. This function is disabled when you
scan “Batch Mode OFF”.
When scan bar code “Batch Data Output”, the stored
scanned data will be immediately transmitted to the host.
When scan barcode “Batch Data Clear”, all stored scanned
data will be erased from memory.
The capacity of this memory depends on the scanned data.
The memory size is approximately 30,000 sets of EAN13 bar
code type.
3.3.7 Out of Range
When “Out of Range” function is enabled, and the scanner
is working at out of transmission range, the scanned data
will be stored to out-of-range memory. Memory size is
approximately 25,000 sets of EAN13 bar code type
The all stored data will be transmitted to device when
the link is reconnected, and the all data store in out-
of-range memory will be cleared.

CHAPTER 4 CONFIGURING THE V-1010BT
4.1 Preface
How to configure the V-1010BT.
The barcode programming feature gives the possibility to
change the V-1010BT scanner settings with programming
labels.
4.1.1 Changing Scanner Settings with
Programming Codes
You can setup your V-1010BT by scan all necessary
programming codes that meet applications.
In order to change the scanner settings please follow the
sequence below:
1. Power up the scanner.
2. Open the scanner programming mode by scanning
“Start Configuration”.
3. Change scanner settings by scanning any of the
programming code that meet applications.
4. Close the scanner programming mode by scanning
“End Configuration”.
5. Save configuration by scanning “Save Parameters”.
An Example:
For changing the Baud rate to 38400 the following codes
must be scanned successively:
Start ConfigurationBaud Rate 38400End configuration
Save Parameters
After reading a valid programming code the scanner, will
give three high beep and the green LED indicator will
light on.

12
By scanning “Set All Default” label, the settings will go
back to the factory default settings.
