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.
