Holding the C5 for bar code scanning of patient wrist bands



A recommended practice is to configure the “B” button on the front of the C5 to active the bar

code reader making it more flexible for individual user preferences. This can be done by your IT

department.

When scanning the patient wrist band is best to hold the C5 by the side rather than the handle. You can

hold in either your left or right hand.
