To scan barcodes:
1. Open your application. Place the cursor where you want to enter data.
2. Press the trigger button to scan a barcode. Make sure the laser beam extends across the
entire width of the barcode.
For example, try scanning the following barcode:
IMPORTANT! Print out this page to scan the barcode. Do not scan it onscreen.
After data is read and sent to the phone/tablet, by default the CHS will beep once,
the LED will flash green, and the beam will turn off. The CHS will also vibrate to
indicate that data is read. You can use Command Barcodes
to modify the beep /
LED / vibrate settings.
By default, a carriage return is applied after scanned barcode data is entered. To
disable the automatic carriage return, you can use the Command Barcodes
(use the
Data Editing barcode for disabling suffixes).
If no data is read in a few seconds, the beam will turn off, and you must try again.
To Disconnect:
To disconnect, turn off the CHS. Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds,
until the CHS beeps twice (high-low) and the blue LED turns off.
Automatic Reconnection:
After you power on the CHS, it will automatically try to connect to the last phone/tablet it
paired and connected to. Make sure your phone/tablet is in range with Bluetooth enabled.
If the CHS is connected to your phone/tablet and gets disconnected, it will try to reconnect for
a few minutes. Make sure the phone/tablet is on and in range. If the CHS cannot reconnect, it
will emit a long beep. Press the trigger button to restart the reconnection process.
See Appendix F for unpairing instructions.
