Product Reference Guide

About the Reader

The Wasp WWS650 2D handheld area imager was specifically created to address the needs of

retailers and meet the market demand with outstanding omni-directional reading performance

on virtually all codes at an affordable price.

Ideally suited for applications at the point of-sale (POS), the Wasp WWS650 imager features a

new illumination and aiming system developed with the unique intent to reduce visual stress of

the operator during the daily scanning activities. It consists of a soft, dark red illumination

combined with two blue LED triangles pointing at the targeted bar code.

The result is a precise aiming system which contributes to low eye fatigue, yet still allows top

operator efficiency.

The Wasp WWS650 imager reads typical printed linear bar codes as well as complex 2D bar

codes displayed on the screen of a mobile device or loyalty cards. The WWS650 imager is an

elegant and robust imager that provides fast, reliable scanning.

Imaging technology meets or exceeds the productivity compared to laser scanners and pro-

vides the additional advantages of a lower cost-of-ownership and greater product reliability

over the long term.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the

interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the

instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section

for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Param-

eters" starting on page 21.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 20, require only the scan of

the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Pro-

gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Program-

ming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings

before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes,

exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

NOTE

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please

read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each programma-

ble feature.

Cordless Models

Using the Radio Base

Radio Base LEDs

LEDs on the Base provide information about the Base as well as battery charging status, as

shown.

Figure 1. Base LEDs

Red LED /

Green LED

Yellow LED

LED STATUS

Power on / Data

Yellow On = Base is powered

Yellow Blinking = Base receives data and



commands from the Host or the Reader.

Charging Red On = Battery charging is in progress.

Charge completed Green On = the Battery is completely charged.

Charging + Charge completed Red and Green Blinking together = the Reader is

not correctly placed onto the Base.

6Wasp WWS650

Charging the Batteries

The battery can be charged by connecting the reader directly to a host through the micro-USB

connector available in the bottom of the handle, as shown.

Micro-USB

Connector

Alternatively, simply insert the WWS650 into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the

cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection.

The LEDs on the base will indicate the status of the battery.

Battery Safety

To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in

this manual.

NOTE

Before installing the Battery, read “Battery Safety” on this and the following pages. Annual

replacement of rechargeable battery packs is recommended to ensure maximum perfor-

mance.

WARNING

Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery is

used in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its

life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery

to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.



Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if

exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:

• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to each

other with any metal object (such as wire).

• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.

• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise

subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.

• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.

• Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.

WARNING

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.

Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid

could cause damage to the eye.

Product Reference Guide

As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity

deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is dif-

ficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500

charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge /

charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging /

recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging.

CAUTION

Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status

should be avoided.

CAUTION

In case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended to par-

tially recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.

As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes every three months on unused products

to avoid any performance deterioration of the cell.

The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they

should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to

use a battery showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of

and replaced.

Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European

Directive 2006/66/EC, 2011/65/EU, 2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU and subsequent modifica-

tions, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.

CAUTION

Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range.

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your

reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your war-

ranty.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection

devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.

Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations.

CAUTION

Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.

Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.

Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot

weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the bat-

tery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expec-

tancy.

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction

cookware.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery,

the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal

in any other way.

Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.

Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.

8Wasp WWS650

Replacing the Battery Pack

NOTE

Before proceeding, read “Battery Safety” on the preceding pages. Annual replacement of

rechargeable battery packs is recommended to ensure maximum performance.

1. Using a coin or a screwdriver, unscrew the bottom of the battery pack until it is disen-

gaged. 

The battery pack will rise slightly in the rear, pushed by the contact springs.

2. Extract the battery pack by slightly rotating the pack and pulling away from the reader.

To mount the new battery pack reverse the process:

1. Insert the top of the new pack inside the reader’s handle.

2. Rotate the battery pack downward while pressing the bottom side of the battery pack (to

seat securely into the contacts springs) so that the edges of the pack and the handle board

are aligned, while replacing the screw in the bottom of the handle.

Setup

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged.

If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Wasp.

KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original

shipping container.

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating

with its host.

1. Begin by Connecting the Base Station.

2. Go to Interface Selection and set the desired interface.

3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface).

4. Go to Configuring Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings).

10 Wasp WWS650

Configuring the Base Station

Connecting the Base Station

Figure 2 on page 12 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host

device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if nec-

essary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Sta-

tion.

The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all configurations.

For all interfaces (except RS-232) a power supply is recommended but not necessary, because

the base can be powered from the Host. When the base is powered from the Host, it automati-

cally selects a slow charge rate.

NOTE

The Wasp WWS650 can also be Powered by the Terminal. When powered by the Terminal, the

battery charger is automatically set as Slow charge.

For some specific interfaces or hosts or lengths of cable, the use of an external power supply

may be recommended for full recharging capability (see

"Technical Specifications"

page 267 for more details).
