Wearable bar code reader Zebra RS5100 1D/2D LED Black Wireless Bluetooth

The 'Go-Everywhere' Wearable Scanner Built for the Enterprise.
Today’s workers have high expectations for wearable devices — a modern design, a minimal footprint, and so easy to use that virtually no training is required. Your business requires a design that’s at home in both customer-facing areas and the warehouse, multiple wearable options for maximum use case flexibility, a rugged design to ensure a long lifecycle with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), scanning options that match the needs of your environment, plus backroom accessories that reduce management time and cost. Now, you can have it all with the RS5100 Bluetooth Wearable Scanner.

Five Interchangeable Wearing Styles.
Regardless of hand size or use cases, there’s a wearable option that will provide all day comfort. The new Enterprise Hand Mount offers maximum flexibility — a range of sizes for right and left hands with an adjustable scanner position and aiming angle. Wear it like a ring on a single finger, with multiple options for trigger placement. Wear it on a belt or around the neck with the retractable lanyard — or on a back-of-hand mount designed to reach into small spaces.

Wireless and Practically Weightless.
At just over two ounces and two cubic inches, your workers will barely feel the RS5100, virtually eliminating hand fatigue. And Bluetooth provides freedom from cords — there are no cables to the host device for workers to manage, improving ergonomics and the user experience.

A Rugged Design with World-class Scanning.
The best-in-class rugged design can handle drops, bumps and even a high-pressure hose down — and the trigger is rated for millions of presses. Two scan engine options instantly capture virtually any barcode in practically any condition. And the wider field of view makes barcode capture even easier.

Choose the wearing style that best fits the task and user comfort, then attach the RS5100 using the provided mount or lanyard. Pair the scanner with the host device via Bluetooth following the host’s Bluetooth pairing procedure. Aim the scanner at the barcode and press the trigger to capture; the device supports quick capture of both 1D and 2D symbologies. Recharge the built‑in lithium‑ion battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace or reconfigure wearing accessories as needed for the workflow.

Recommendations

For reliable scanning performance, select the scan engine option that matches your typical barcode types and conditions, keep the scan window clean, and use the ergonomic wearing style that minimizes hand movement for the task. Regularly inspect mounts and lanyards for wear and follow Zebra’s maintenance guidelines for rugged devices.
