Quick Start
1. Unpack
Open the box and remove all the pieces from their protective packaging.
2. Charging the WWS550i
You must charge the scanner for 4 hours before first using it. To charge
the scanner, plug the power supply into the bottom of the scanner.
3. Setting up the Bluetooth Adapter
If you already have Bluetooth setup on your PC or device, please continue
to the next step.
To setup Bluetooth on your PC, you will need to insert the Bluetooth
adapter into an available USB port. Windows will detect the adapter and
install the required Microsoft Bluetooth software. If Windows does not
detect the Bluetooth adapter, please remove the adapter and insert the CD
with the adapter’s Bluetooth software on it. Follow the instructions on the
CD for installing the Bluetooth software.
4. Connecting the scanner to a Bluetooth device
The scanner will connect to most Bluetooth devices that support HID
connection.
You will need to open your Bluetooth software and search for Bluetooth
devices. The Bluetooth software can be found by clicking the Bluetooth
symbol on the start bar near the computer time. If the Bluetooth symbol is
not found, there could be a problem with the Bluetooth adapter installation.

Troubleshooting: If the device does not pair, click Back and repeat steps
3-6. Do not omit scanning the Stop Pin barcode in Step 5, even if you
see a message on screen about installing device drivers or that pairing is
complete.
If the device repeatedly fails to pair, it may be stuck in a partially-installed
state. Go to Start > Devices > Printers. In the Devices section, look for
a Wasp Keyboard (or similar name). Right-click it, then click Remove
Device. When complete, start the Pairing procedure again.
To test the connection, open Notepad, MS Word or another application
that accepts text input from a keyboard, then scan a barcode. You can
try the Test Symbols in the scanner manual, or a UPC barcode from a
product. The application should show the data from the barcode.

In order to configure Wasp WWS550i Freedom Scanner, familiarize
yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default
settings of the scanners are identified on each page and clearly marked
using an asterisk (*). The default settings have been preprogrammed for
the most common barcode configurations. Use the setup & configuration
barcodes only to customize the WWS550i Freedom Scanner settings. If
you need to configure the Scanner, the default settings will be overwritten.
All the programmed settings are stored permanently in non-volatile
memory.
In order to configure Wasp WWS550i Freedom Scanner,
two basic steps need to be followed:
(1) Locate the group that contains the options to be changed.
(2) Scan the barcode representing the option to be changed.
The scanner will sound two beeps.
