Sample Bar Code

Flic Scanner Modes

The scanner runs in two modes: real-time and 

store-and-forward. 
Real-time is when the scanner is connected to a cable 

or a Bluetooth host device.  The scanner uploads the 

bar codes as you scan them. 
Batch mode is when the scanner is disconnected or 

out of range.  It stores the bar codes in memory. 

When you plug in the scanner or move it back into 

range, the scanner automatically connects to the host 

device and uploads the stored bar codes. 
Three beeps indicates the scanner's memory is full. If 

this occurs, either connect the cable or move the 

scanner back into range of the Bluetooth host device 

and wake up the scanner by pushing the button. 

When connected, the scanner automatically uploads 

the saved bar codes and clears its memory. 

Installing and Replacing Batteries

Use only AAA Alkaline batteries in your Flic 

Scanner. Please remove the batteries when 

you are storing the scanner for more than 

30 days.
1. Turn the scanner over so that the back 

faces up. 

2. Remove the battery cover by pressing 

the button at the top of the cover, and 

moving the cover down.

3. If there are batteries in the scanner, remove 

them.

4. Insert the new batteries so that the positive end 

(+) is up on the outside batteries, and down on 

the middle battery.

5. Replace the battery cover by inserting the tabs at 

the top of the cover into the slots in the back of 

the scanner. Slide the cover up.

scans over 8 months at 100 scans/day

Operator's Guide

Flic Laser Bar Code Scanner

 

The Flic Scanner is a breakthrough in affordable 

laser scanning. The scanner has the scanning 

performance of more expensive laser scanners, the 

convenience of hand-held portability, and the 

advantage of optional Bluetooth

®

 wireless 

technology.  In store-and-forward mode you can 

capture approximately 500 (optional 4000) UPC bar 

code symbols, and then automatically upload them 

when you connect the scanner or move back into 

range.  The Flic Cordless Scanner has a 10 to 15 

meter real-time operating range, and an unlimited 

store-and-forward range with automatic 

reconnection.
