Laser Safety
The laser scanner complies with safety standard IEC 60825-1 for a Class I laser produce.
It also complies with CDRH as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term
staring into direct laser light.
Radiant Energy: The laser scanner uses one low-power visible laser diodes operating at
650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9μW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light
with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may
be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe
operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary
laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source
immediately.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not remove
the protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard.
Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not
include normal eye glasses worn by the user.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
For CE-countries
This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked
power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.

1. Introduction
Elegant and functional, the newly-designed Hands-Free Single-Laser
Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner leads the trend to the next aesthetical level.
Its distinctive white color fits perfectly into places like bookstore, boutique and
anywhere delicacy is a must.
With unique designed single-laser scan engine, the scanner has 20-line
omnidirectional laser beams reading at 1200 scans per second, and upgraded
CPU for decoding most popular 1D barcodes at an unbeatable performance.
The trigger button on top allows trigger scan and also switching to single line
scanning when necessary. The large LED indicator gives clear visual reading
status feedback, and it is equipped with a speaker but a buzzer, its adjustable
tone and volume working well in either quite or noisy environments.
It has a suction cup at bottom and the idea allows fixing the scanner to smooth
counter without making damages. In addition, it has a hinge shaft for easy
scanning angle adjustment and field replaceable cable for future maintenance,
giving all reserved benefit to different working environments. The Hands-Free
Omnidirectional Laser Scanner comes with unique omnidirectional laser scan
engine, proudly destined to be your dreaming partner of utility and beauty!

4. Installing the Device
4.1 Using Suction Cup
The device is designed with a cupulate stand, and easily sucks to any smooth
surface without making any damage. It is most suggested to place on glass
surface for best and firmest suction result, or use the transparent self adhesive
mylar provided in package if your counter top is not 100% smooth.
To install the device, you need to:
1. Clean the counter top and make sure the surface is smooth and dry.
2. Adhesive the mylar on top of the counter (ignore this step if the counter top is
made with glass or very smooth).
3. Attached the cupula in position, and press down the device to squeeze out the
air in the suction cup. (shown in Figure 2)
4. Press down the lever to secure device on the surface. (shown in Figure 3 step
)
5. Raise the lever to release the suction cup from the surface. (shown in Figure 3
step )
a. The mylar is 145mm in diameter self-adhesive for easy
attachment, when stick onto surface, be careful and
prevent bubble enters inside.
b. The suction cup uses the vacuum theory to hold on to the
surface. If the surface is not smooth or cupulate is
damaged or dirty, air could go into the suction cup and
the cupulate will lost its function.

and hold firmly with one hand.
