Introduction

The Phaser P370/P470 Keyless Radio Frequency (RF) scanners bring new

flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in both industrial

and retail operations. The scanners communicate with the host computer through

radio transmission instead of through a cable. The RF scanner can scan and

transmit without a physical cable from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters)

without a direct line of sight. This allows the scanner to be taken where the work

is, whether on the loading dock, the plant floor, the warehouse, or the POS

checkout area. There are several versions available:

-P370: cordless industrial scanner.

-P370 ALR: cordless industrial long range scanner.

-P470: cordless retail scanner.

This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of

the Phaser P370/P470 Keyless RF scanners.

For detailed information on the P370/P470 scanners, refer to the P370/P470

Keyless RF Scanners Product Reference Guide, p/n 72-61496-xx, available at

www.symbol.com/manuals. Refer to PL370/470 RF Cradle Quick Reference

Guide, p/n 72-38494-xx, for information on setting up the PL370/470 RF cradle.

Charging the Scanner in the Cradle

Powering Up the Scanner

To turn the scanner on pull the trigger. The scanner is brought out of sleep mode

and into scanning mode.

Scanning

To charge the scanner, insert the scanner into

the cradle so the nose of the scanner and tip of

the handle seat into the receptacles.

The battery charges automatically. A full charge

of a depleted battery takes approximately 3-1/2

hours. The charge status indicator light on the

back of the cradle blinks then becomes solid

when the battery is fully charged.

Consult the P370/P470 Keyless RF Scanners Product Reference Guide for

programming instructions. If you need assistance, contact your local supplier or

the Symbol Support Center.

To scan:

1. Ensure the battery is charged.

2. Ensure the bar code is in the correct scanning range.

3. Aim and press the trigger. When the scanner has read the symbol:

-a beep sounds.

-the LED turns green.

-the red laser turns off.

Aiming

Hold at an Angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly

back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. Specular

reflection can make decoding difficult.

The scanner can tilt up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.

Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Scan the Entire Symbol

-The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol (as in the

left bar code below).

-Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

Changing the Battery

When a battery is fully charged, it generally lasts up to 10 hours without being

returned to the cradle. By returning it to the cradle during the day, this time is

extended.

If a significant decrease in battery life is noticed and does not correspond to

increased usage, consider replacing the battery.

Removing the Battery

1. Slide the battery release latch down using the center indent on the latch and

remove the battery compartment cover. It may be useful to use a coin for extra

leverage.

2. Slide the battery toward the bottom of the scanner and then, using the pull tab,

pull the bottom of the battery back and out of the scanner.

Replacing the Battery

1. Place the top portion of the battery (curved side up, contacts toward top) into

the scanner and then slide it up the handle.

2. Replace the battery compartment cover.

3. Slide the release latch up to secure the cover in place.

Quick Startup Instructions

The table that follows includes an index of startup instructions to help get you

started quickly. The index is listed in a step-by-step order beginning with step 1,

Setting up the System. This index references pages in the P370/P470 Keyless RF

Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices

Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres

You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots,

chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or

metal powders) and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

engine.

Safety in Hospitals

Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment.

Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or

health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive

medical equipment.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between

a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by

Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:

-Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when

turned ON

-Should not carry the device in a breast pocket

-Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
