Hands-Free Scanning
The digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR2278-PC cradle. During idle
conditions the digital scanner operates in object detection mode, where it automatically wakes up to decode a
bar code presented in the field of view. In object detection mode it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be
dimly lit.
To scan:
1. Pair the cradle with the device. See Pairing a Bluetooth Scanner on page 117
for more information.
2. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
3. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host chapter).
