• Scanning issues: Ensure the barcode is clean, undamaged, and well-lit. Adjust the distance and angle of the scanner to the barcode. Some very small or low-contrast QR codes may be difficult to read.
• Data not transmitting: Check the connection status on the LCD display. Ensure the host device's input field is active and ready to receive data. If in storage mode, ensure you initiate the upload process.
• Short operating range: Wireless range can be affected by environmental interference. Try reducing the distance between the scanner and the receiver/host device.
• LCD display not working: Ensure the scanner is powered on and charged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
