8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Tera Pro Barcode Scanner, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Scanner Not Responding: Ensure the scanner is fully charged. Check the connection method (wired, 2.4G wireless, or Bluetooth) and ensure it is properly established.
• Bluetooth Pairing Issues (Mac): As highlighted in the setup section, ensure you have scanned the 'Bluetooth HID Mode' barcode from your manual to enable the correct pairing protocol for Mac computers. If the scanner is in SPP mode, it may not communicate correctly with standard Mac applications.
• Inaccurate Scans: Ensure the barcode is clean and well-lit. Adjust the scanning distance. For damaged or poorly printed barcodes, try scanning from different angles.
• Data Not Appearing on Computer: Verify the connection. If using storage mode, ensure you have initiated the upload process. If using instant upload, check that the cursor is active in the desired input field on your computer.
