during the radio connection process. If the PIN Code or Passkey is
requested for security connection, please enter “

setting).
The scanner will give 4 beeps in ascending tone to indicate the radio is
connected. At the same time, the link indicator of scanner will give 1 blue
blink per 2.5 seconds to indicate the scanner is in radio-connected state.
Please note that if the scanner failed to connect to the host device within
30 seconds, the link indicator will give 3 blue blinks per 2 seconds. But

sleep already, you just need to press the trigger to wake up the scanner to
continue the installation.

operating systems and the Bluetooth software drivers. Please consult
your professional IT consultant to obtain necessary support if any
