This Code Reader 2500 (CR2500) features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows
for point-to-point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial
port protocol (SPP). If keyboard entry is necessary, Code XML Router will need to be
installed. The following guide will give you general instructions on connecting the CR2500
to a desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create
a
QuickConnect Code
that is specific to your device (Figure 1). This
code will link your
CR2500 directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a
QuickConnect Code,
you will
need to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device.
You can usually find the 12-character Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near
the device’s serial number (see Figure 2).

Reader & H2, BH1/BH2 Handle Assembly
The CR2500 utilizes the battery compartment to ‘snap’ the reader to the H2, BH1 and BH2 handles.
For the H2 (only), push the 8-pin DIN connector at the end of the reader into the flexible connector
at the end of the handle. For all three handles, snap the reader onto the handle (Figure 5) matching
the battery compartment of the reader to the battery connectors, visible inside the handle (Figure 6).
Newer readers (MFG # 012_05 or later -see Figure 7) can be secured further with threaded screws
on the under side of the handle (Figure 8).
CR2500 Cable & Handle Installation
The CR2500 is available with USB (6 ft. and 12 ft.), RS-232 and PS/2 cables. All of the cables are
connected to the CR2500 with a 8-pin DIN connector.
Install a Cable Directly to the CR2500
Line up the 8-pin DIN connector into the back end of the unit. The arrows on the connector should
be facing down (Figure 1). When the two items are aligned, firmly push the cable into the reader.

The cable has a locking mechanism that will firmly hold the cable in place (Figure 2). To detach
the cable, pinch the plastic on the 8-pin DIN and pull back to disengage the connector.
