If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter from Code or 
from an authorized distributor, a QuickConnect Code was included. If you bought a Bluetooth 
adapter separately and wish to create a QuickConnect Code, please visit Code’s web site at: 

http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php

To connect your reader, use the following steps:

1.  Power on the CR2500 reader by pressing one of the red buttons for one second to 

     power on the reader.
2.  Scan the 

Reset to RF Factory Defaults

 code on Page 3 (M684_01).

3.  Scan the 

QuickConnect Code

 you received or created from Code’s website.

4.  The CR2500 will automatically connect to the computer.  By default, the CR2500 will beep 

once after it connects and beep four times in a row if it did not connect.

5.  Scan the 

Save Settings 

code on Page 3 (M188_02) if you want to save the wireless  

      connection settings to the CR2500 so that the CR2500 will automatically try to connect 

     wirelessly the next time it is powered on.

Important Note:

 You will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the 

Bluetooth serial port protocol. While installing the Bluetooth Configuration Manager software 

that was included with your Bluetooth adapter, make sure to note the Communications (COM) 
Port number the software assigned for the adapter (e.g., 

COM 10). This is the COM Port  

through which the CR2500 will connect.

Radio Range and Transferring Data

The CR2500 radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device the unit has roughly 
a 300 feet line-of-sight operating range. If connecting to a Class 2 or Class 3 device, the operating 

range will drop to match the lower range. Once a unit is connected, a serial application must be 
opened (HyperTerminal) unless CodeXML Router is installed.

When the CR2500 detects the radio is out of range, the CR2500 will store data on the reader’s

 non-volatile memory. 

For more information about setting up and using the CR2500 with a wireless Bluetooth 
configuration, please visit

the CR2500 User Manual.

Reading Tips

CR2500’s unique targeting 

function uses two converging 

targeting LEDs to guide the user 

to optimal reading range.
