S P T 1 8 0 0 S e r i e s Scanning 1-D Bar Codes The SPT 1800 has an integrated laser bar code scanner which allows you to collect data by scanning bar codes if your unit is configured with a scanning application. To scan bar codes: 1. Start your scanning application. 2. Aim the scanner at a bar code. 3. Press either the right, left or center scan trigger. Make sure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e A clicking noise lets you know the 2-D bar code is being decoded. If there is no clicking noise when you are scanning, the bar code is not being scanned properly. When decoding a very long 2-D bar code, you may notice a slight delay between the time when the terminal completes the decode and the time when the data is displayed on the screen. The first beep you hear indicates a successful decode. The second beep you hear indicates the data has been received by the host.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e particular, it is recommended that you do not grasp the antenna while the GSM version is operating as this will not only significantly degrade its performance, but also expose your hand to the maximum radio frequency power emitted by the GSM version. Safety on the Road The GSM version should not be used by the driver of a vehicle when in motion. Always safely park your vehicle before turning your attention to your device.
S P T 1 8 0 0 S e r i e s If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the GSM version immediately. This may be achieved most rapidly by switching off the device using its on/off button. Other Medical Devices The GSM version transmits radio frequency energy and as such has the potential to interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult your physician or the manufacturer of the device to see if any particular device has sufficient protection.
