The radio frequency range in this document is 430.5~432.0MHz, 433.05~434.79MHz.
A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle, a USB cable, and a CD-ROM (containing
software and manuals).
Use dry and soft cloth to clean the handheld unit and the cradle.
Effective data communication range: The radio communication distance is up to 200 meters under
the condition of temperature at 27 degrees Celsius, sunny day, and visibility of 5 kilometers.
Natural surroundings significantly affect the communication distance in practice. The distance
drops quickly in the rainy, high-humidity, or heavy haze day; radio interference also shortens the
communication distance.
This series of scanners provide two kinds of wireless network topology, and support batch data
mode (offline data storage). It is suggested to read the user manual in details before use.
