Socket Mobile Series 7 - Manual (Page 5)

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. 2
