Practice to determine the best scanning distance for your type of barcode.
Aiming Beam
Aim the scanner so that the red beam covers the entire width of the barcode. Hold
the scanner steady.
Scanning Distance
•
The best scanning distance varies depending on barcode size, symbology, label
media, W-N Ratio, and scan angle. Check the Decode Zone in Appendix D:
Decode Zone to determine the proper distance between the scanner and
barcode.
•
The larger the barcode, the further away you should position the scanner.
•
The tighter the bars of the barcode, the closer you should position the scanner.
About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio signals to connect
a variety of devices, such as barcode scanners, mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook
computers, printers, LAN access points, and many other devices at home or work.
These radio signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these
devices.
Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers. Output power is
normally very low, only 15.75 mW. This gives a working range of approximately 10
meters.
The maximum exposure levels from
Bluetooth products are far below recommended
safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices (15.75 mW) reach only one
percent of the prescribed safety levels.
Product Care
•
Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or extreme humidity.
•
Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
•
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to open flames, etc.
•
Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product, as rough treatment could damage it.
•
Do not paint your product, as the paint could obstruct parts and prevent normal use.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble your product: a broken warranty seal will void the
warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable components.
