1 | Introduction

If you need to collect bar coded data but don't want to be tied to your mobile

or desktop computer, Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) Series 7 with

Bluetooth wireless technology is just what you're looking for. This

innovative device combines the power of laser bar code scanning with the

convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology in a single compact,

lightweight device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the

palm of your hand.

Bar code scanning is the most efficient way to collect data from a mobile

computer. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a laser scanner is 50

times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry.

Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each

other, offering you new possibilities for using your mobile computer with

other devices. With Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS), you can scan

bar codes while connected to the PDA in your pocket or to your laptop,

tablet or desktop computer located up to 300 feet away — all without the

hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna.

Scanner Versions

The CHS Series 7 includes three versions of the scanner. The entry-level

CHS 7E uses linear CMOS imaging technology. The mid-level CHS 7M

has a Class 1 laser scanner. The performance level CHS 7P features a Class

laser scanner and a ruggedized construction.

About the Software

SocketScan™enters scanned data directly into any open

Windows or Palm OS program as if the data were manually

typed, so you can use the CHS with your favorite application.

Included is a utility that enables you to configure

Prefix/Suffixes, sounds, and other special settings for the CHS.

Connect!Agent™for Windows Mobile and XP simplifies Bluetooth by

automatically setting up and managing the wireless connection.

Connect!Agent runs in the background, requiring no user interaction.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 5

About Combining Scanning with Bluetooth

The Cordless Hand Scanner represents an optimal combination of proven

laser bar code scanning and state-of-the-art Bluetooth connectivity. Because

of the problems inherent in the intermittent storage of scanned data in on-

board memory if the Bluetooth connection is lost, the CHS is designed to

operate only when connected to the host, with the powerful Class 1 radio

providing the maximum possible connection range.

The user is advised of the connection status with a single beep when the

CHS connects to the host and a double beep when the connection is closed

or lost. As with any wireless device, connectivity range can be affected by a

variety of environmental variables.

The most likely source of errors in any cordless scanning system is not in

the scanning and decoding process, but in the transmission of the data to the

host. For this reason, the Cordless Hand Scanner features Socket’s

exclusive Error Proof Protocol (patent pending), which ensures that

scanned data is correctly received by the host computer and allows for real-

time validation of data and notifies the user in case of errors.

The beeper and green LED signals provided by the CHS confirm not only a

successful scan but also the successful transmission of the scanned data to

the host. Users familiar with bar code scanning may notice a slight delay

between the successful scan and shut off of the laser, and the beep and

green LED from the CHS confirming completed transmission of the data. In

most instances, this delay is less than 300 ms (milliseconds), but may be

slightly longer as the connectivity range limit is approached.

Because of the two-way transmission verification process, it is possible to

cause communication problems by scanning bar codes as fast as possible.

When this occurs, all transmissions will stop for several seconds before

scanning can be resumed. To prevent this from happening, the user should

wait until the confirming beep is received before scanning the next bar

code.
