To scan barcodes:
1. Open your application. Place the cursor where you want to enter data.
2. Hold the CHS about 4 inches (10 cm) from the barcode and press and hold the trigger
button. An aiming beam will appear for 3 seconds. Keep your hand steady while scanning.
For example, try scanning the following barcode:
After data is read and sent to the PDA, by default, the CHS will beep once and
vibrate, the LED will flash green, and the beam will turn off. You can use the
Scanner Settings utility
to modify the beep / LED / vibrate settings.
By default, a carriage return is applied after scanned barcode data is entered. To
disable the automatic carriage return, you can use the Scanner Settings utility
or
Command Barcodes
(use the Data Editing barcode for Data As Is).
If no data is read in a few seconds, the beam will turn off, and you must try
again.
To Disconnect:
To disconnect, turn off the CHS. Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds,
until the CHS beeps twice (high-low) and the blue LED turns off.
Automatic Reconnection:
After you power on the CHS, it will automatically try to connect to the last computer it
paired and connected to. Make sure your computer is in range with Bluetooth enabled
and SocketScan 10 is running.
If the CHS is connected to your computer and gets disconnected, it will try to reconnect.
Make sure the computer is on and in range. If the CHS cannot reconnect after several
attempts, it will emit a long beep. Press the trigger button to restart the reconnection
process.
See Appendix F for unpairing instructions.
