About Bluetooth Range
The Cordless Hand Scanner features a powerful Class 1 Bluetooth radio to
provide the maximum possible range. As with all wireless technologies, the
connection range can vary widely depending on many factors such as the
brand and placement of the host device, the type and size of physical
obstacles and the presence and activity level of competing radio
transmissions.
In range testing of the CHS while connected to a variety of typical host
devices with Class 2 radios, functional connection distances from 18 to over
100 feet have been experienced depending on the environment. The
following conditions appear to reduce the Bluetooth connection range:
• The presence of soft, absorbent materials such as paper, fiberglass
insulation, foam material in office cubical walls, carpeting and, to a
lesser extent, even sheetrock and wood construction materials. Hard
materials such as concrete increase the range.
