4.2 Pairing Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your scanner:
Wireless 2.4G Pairing
- Scan the "Wireless 2.4G Mode" setting barcode. After the setting is completed, the receiver that was paired last time will be prioritized by default.
- Scan the "One-click Pairing" setting barcode. The blue light of the scanner will flash quickly, and the scanner enters the 2.4G pairing state.
- Plug the USB receiver into the host device (within 1 minute). You will hear a "Di" sound, and the LED2 indicator will stay on, indicating a successful connection.
Note: Refer to the user manual for specific setting barcodes. Pressing the key for 8 seconds can quickly enter Bluetooth HID pairing status.
Bluetooth HID Pairing
- Scan the "Bluetooth HID Mode" setting barcode. After the setting is completed, the Bluetooth device that was paired last time is prioritized by default.
- Scan the "One-click pairing" setting barcode. The blue LED1 and Blue LED2 indicators of the scanner will flash alternately and quickly, and the scanner enters the Bluetooth HID pairing state.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your host device and search for the "BarCode Scanner HID" device. Click on the device to connect. Once you hear a "Di" sound, the Blue LED2 indicator will stay on, confirming a successful connection.

5. Operating Instructions
Understand the different scanning and upload modes to optimize your workflow.
5.1 Trigger Modes
The scanner supports three operational trigger modes:
- Manual Trigger: Press the trigger button to scan each barcode.
- Auto-sensing: The scanner automatically detects a barcode within its field of view and scans it without needing to press the trigger.
- Continuous Scanning: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, scanning any barcode that passes through it.

5.2 Upload Modes
Choose between instant data transfer or batch storage:
- Instant Upload Mode: Scanned data is immediately transmitted to your connected computer or device. This mode is suitable for real-time inventory updates or point-of-sale transactions.
- Storage Mode: Scanned barcodes are stored in the scanner's internal memory. You can upload the accumulated data to your computer at a later time by scanning a specific upload barcode. This is useful for mobile applications or when working out of range of the host device.

- Add Prefix: Add specific characters before the scanned barcode data.
- Insert in the Middle: Insert characters at a specified position within the barcode data.
- Add Suffix: Add specific characters after the scanned barcode data.
