STEP 6: Connect Scanner to Pocket PC via Bluetooth
1. Turn on the Cordless Hand Scanner. Press the small
power button for five seconds, until you see the LED

If the LED begins blinking red, the battery needs to be
recharged.

Bluetooth radio is turned on. If needed, make sure a COM port is
enabled for outbound Bluetooth Serial communications, and note
the COM port number. Refer to the documentation for your Bluetooth
hardware for instructions.
