1.1 LYNX™ BT DESCRIPTION

The Lynx™ BT Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive,

rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as

well as the front office.

Omnidirectional

Operating

To read a symbol you simply aim the reader and pull the

trigger. Since the orientation of the symbol is not important, the

Lynx™ reader is a powerful, omni-directional device.

Decoding

Thanks to powerful algorithms, Lynx™ reliably decodes all major

1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D

matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as

POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from

decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is

immediately available to read another symbol.

FLASH MEMORY

Flash technology allows to upgrade the Lynx™ reader as new

symbologies are supported or as improved decoding

algorithms become available.

Lynx™ BT communicates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and uses the Serial Port Profile

(SPP). Thanks to a Bluetooth

device, such as a Bluetooth

dongle, the reader can

send data to a remote Host such as a PC, PDS, printer, etc.

The OM-1000 BT cradle is provided in the package to build a Cordless Reading

System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. It can be

connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable. The

OM-1000 BT also allows charging the Lynx™ BT batteries.
