HR2280/2180 Cordless Barcode Scanner Quick Guide 

 
Introduction to LR-433-WPAN protocol 

The scanner utilize 430.5

432.0MHz, 433.05

434.79MHz RF wireless communication with 

LR-433-WPAN wireless communication protocol.  LR-433-WPAN protocol first time 
introduces adaptive frequency hopping technique.    With this new protocol, cordless scanner 
is able to pick up a higher-performance RF channel from a group of channels in terms of 
consolidated communication.    LR-433-WPAN protocol supports up to 128 handheld units (16 
handheld-units/cradle x 8 cradle = 128) within the same effective communication range.    A 
circle of response time for one cradle with 16 handheld units is 1 second, while the response 
time for one cradle with one handheld unit is less than 0.1 second.

Installation of cradle 

 

With PS2 cable 

1. 

Plug one end of the PS2 cable to the cradle, one 
end to PS2 port on PC, and one end to the 
keyboard. 

2. 

Plug the output of the AC/DC adaptor into the 
power terminal of on the cradle.  Plug the 
AC/DC adaptor provided by the manufacturer 
into an electrical outlet.     

 

With USB cable 

1.  Plug one end of the USB cable to the cradle. 

Plug the other end into the USB port of the 
computer.  

2.  Plug the output of the AC/DC adaptor into the 

power terminal of on the cradle.  Plug the 
AC/DC adaptor provided by the manufacturer 
into an electrical outlet. 

 

With RS-232 cable 

1. 

Connect the DB9 serial communication cable 
with the cradle and the COM port of the 
computer. 

2. 

Plug the output of the AC/DC adaptor into the 
power terminal of on the cradle.  Plug the 
AC/DC adaptor provided by the manufacturer 
into an electrical outlet.     

 

Charge battery 

1. 

Please charge the battery before the first time of use.  
The charge indicator (red LED) on the handheld unit is 
turned on when the charging is in process.    When the 
charging process completes, the red LED is turned off. 

2. 

Charging time: 8 hours for fully charged. 

Power on handheld unit

: Press the power button

  on handheld unit for two seconds. 

Power off handheld unit

: Press the power button

  on handheld unit for two seconds.   

 
Effective data communication range 

To achieve longer communication range, avoids concrete, wall and metallic s

torage racks 

between the barcode scanner and the cradle.    Obstacle between the barcode scanner and 
the cradle would decrease the communication severely.    Test result is up to 200 meters for 
free space data communication range under the condition of clear weather, temperature at 
27

visibility

 of 5 kilometers.     

)

 A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle (with PS2, or USB, or RS232 cable), a 

5V AC/DC adaptor (for battery charge) and a CD-ROM (containing software and electrical 
manuals).  

)

Use dry and soft cloth to clean the handheld unit and the cradle.
