Quick Reference Guide 3
Introduction
The P470/370 cordless RF scanners bring new flexibility and economy to data
capture and data management in both industrial and retail operations. The
scanner communicates with your host computer through radio transmission
instead of through a cable. With the RF scanner, you are free to scan and transmit
without a physical cable, from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters) even without
a direct line of sight. This lets you take the scanner to where the work is, whether
on the loading dock, the plant floor, the warehouse, or the POS checkout area.
There are several versions available:
- P470: cordless retail scanner.
- P370: cordless industrial scanner.
- P370 ALR: cordless industrial ALR scanner.
This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of
the Phaser P370/P470 RF scanners.
Refer to PL 370/470 RF Cradle Quick Reference Guide (p/n 72-38494-xx) for

To quickly get you started with your new scanner:
1. Charge the scanner in the cradle.
2. Power up the scanner.
3. Follow the Quick Startup Instructions (see page 6).
4. Use the test bar codes to ensure the scanner is working properly (see page 7).
