How to use

Connect the scanner to a host device via Bluetooth pairing or plug the USB‑C cable for a wired connection. Position the scanner so the aiming pattern covers the barcode and press the trigger to initiate the decode. After a successful read, the barcode data is transmitted to the connected device as keyboard input or through the configured serial profile. Follow your host system's settings to confirm correct data format and field termination.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the scanner’s window clean and avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight during scanning. Use Bluetooth when mobility is required and USB‑C for stationary work to ensure uninterrupted power and stable data transfer. Verify host compatibility with HID/serial Bluetooth modes before deployment to ensure seamless integration.
