4.3 Connecting the Scanner

The scanner offers two primary connection methods:

4.3.1 Bluetooth Pairing (HID Mode - Default)

1. Ensure the scanner is charged and powered on.
2. Press and hold the trigger button on the scanner for a few seconds until it enters pairing mode (usually indicated by a flashing blue light).
3. On your device (smartphone, tablet, PC), go to Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.
4. Select "NETUM Barcode Scanner" or a similar name from the list.
5. Once paired, the scanner's indicator light will typically turn solid blue, indicating a successful connection.

4.3.2 USB Wireless Dongle Connection

1. Plug the USB wireless dongle into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Power on the barcode scanner. The scanner should automatically connect to the dongle.
3. A successful connection is usually indicated by a solid blue light on the scanner.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Scanning Barcodes

To scan a barcode:

1. Ensure the scanner is connected to your device.
2. Open an application where you want the scanned data to appear (e.g., a text editor, spreadsheet, or POS software).
3. Point the scanner's window at the barcode you wish to scan.
4. Press the trigger button. A red scan line will emit from the scanner.
5. Position the scanner so the red line crosses the entire barcode. A successful scan is typically indicated by a beep and the data appearing in your application.

• Storage: Store the scanner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and recharge every few months.
