ically. Press this key again briefly to turn the unit off. To turn the

tion, puncture the industrial seal, and void your warranty.
Scan key
(Left and Right)
Use either the right or left
<Scan>
button to activate the scanner and read a bar code. The
scanner starts to read the bar code. The scanner automatically turns off either when the bar
code is read, when you release the scan button, or after 10 seconds, which ever comes first.
Refer to "Scanning Bar Codes" on page

for more information.
Scanning LED
When scanning, a red LED indicates the scanner is on and a green LED indicates a suc-
cessful, good read.

The scanning beam is emitted from this aperture. Aim the scanning beam at the bar code
you wish to scan. Refer to "Scanning Bar Codes" on page

for more information.
Secure Digital (SD) Slot
The secure digital card slot accepts a secure digital storage card. Refer to the

and other media files. It can also be set to emit
beeps or tones to indicate errors or good reads when bar code scanning and inputting data
using the keypad or stylus.

screen. It is a good idea to replace the stylus in the holder after each use so you don’t lose or
misplace it.

nect USB peripherals.
