Socket Mobile Series 9 - 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, the Socket Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS)
Series 9 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 compact, lightweight
device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably on your hand.
Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each
other, offering new possibilities for using a mobile computer with other
devices. With the CRS, you can scan bar codes while connected to a PDA in
your pocket or a Windows XP system located up to 300 feet away — all
without the hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna.
The CRS was designed with an exclusive Liquidmetal
®
construction that is
twice as strong as titanium, extremely durable and scratch-resistant. The
Battery Friendly
® CRS uses minimal power, so you can scan over 11,000
times in normal operating conditions without having to recharge.

CRS 9M has a Class 1 laser scanner and a Class 2 Bluetooth with a
maximum range of 30ft (10m). The Performance CRS 9P features a Class 2

About the Software
SocketScan ™ enters scanned data directly into any open
Windows program, as if the data were manually typed, so you
can use the CRS with your favorite application. Included is a
utility that enables you to configure Prefix/Suffixes, sounds,
and other special settings for the CRS.
Connect!Agent ™ (patent pending) simplifies the Bluetooth by automatically
setting up and managing the Bluetooth connection. Connect!Agent runs in the
background, requiring no user interaction.
