transmission may be slow if there
is interference with Bluetooth
communications, or if the SF51 is
too far from the host device. If you

scanner beam blinks while the SF51
is waiting. For more information, see
“Trigger Mode” on page 52.

the SF51 is connected to your host
device. For help, see “Connecting
the SF51 to a Host Device” on
page 18.
