Operating Instructions
Basic Scanning
To scan a barcode or QR code, point the scanner's window at the code and press the trigger button. A successful scan will typically be indicated by an audible beep and/or a visual confirmation light. The scanned data will be transmitted to your connected device.
Image: The scanner demonstrates its ability to read various 1D and 2D digital and printed barcodes, even those that are incomplete, have reflections, water damage, distortion, smudges, blur, or color variations.
Intelligent Scan Modes
The scanner supports three operational modes:
- Key Scanning: Press the trigger button for each scan.
- Auto-Sensing Scanning: The scanner automatically detects and scans codes when they are presented within its field of view.
- Continuous Scanning: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, scanning any code it detects without requiring trigger presses.
Refer to the included instruction manual for specific QR codes to switch between these modes.
Inventory Mode
For inventory management, the scanner features an internal memory function. In Inventory Mode, you can scan multiple items, and the data will be stored in the scanner's memory. To upload the stored data to your connected device, scan the designated "Upload Data" QR code in the instruction manual. The data will then be transferred, typically one code per line.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner not connecting via Bluetooth. | Scanner not in pairing mode; Bluetooth off on host device; interference. | Ensure scanner is in Bluetooth pairing mode (refer to manual for specific QR code). Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Move closer to the device or away from interference sources. |
| Scanner not reading barcodes. | Barcode damaged/unreadable; insufficient lighting; scanner lens dirty; incorrect scan mode. | Try scanning a different, known-good barcode. Ensure adequate lighting. Clean the scanner lens. Check if the scanner is in the correct scan mode (e.g., Key Scanning). |
| Scanned data not appearing on device. | Not properly connected; application not ready to receive input. | Verify successful connection (Bluetooth, 2.4G, or USB). Ensure your application (e.g., notepad, POS software) has an active cursor ready to receive text input. |
| Short battery life. | Battery not fully charged; aging battery; continuous scanning mode. | Fully charge the scanner. If battery life remains short, consider battery replacement (contact support). Switch to Key Scanning or Auto-Sensing mode when not actively scanning. |
