Code CR2 Wireless Quick Start - Manual

This Code Reader 2.0 (CR2) features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for
point-to-point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial port
protocol (SPP). If keyboard entry is necessary, Code XML Router will need to be installed.
The following guide will give you general instructions on connecting the CR2 to a desktop
or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create a
QuickConnect Code that is specific to your device (Figure 1). This code will link your CR2
directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will need
to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. You
can usually find the 12-character Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near the
device’s serial number (see Figure 2).

CR2 Cable & Handle Installation
The CR2 is available with USB (6 ft. and 12 ft.), RS232 and PS2 cables. All of the cables are
connected to the CR2 with a 8-pin DIN connector.
Install a Cable Directly to the CR2
Line up the 8-pin DIN connector into the back end of the unit. The arrows on the connector
should be facing down (Figure 1). When the two items are aligned, firmly push the cable
into the reader.
Install a Cable to a Handle
If you purchased a cabled handle for use with the CR2, the 8-pin DIN connector is at the
bottom of the handle (Figure 3). Line up the cable’s 8-pin DIN connector with the handle’s
connector and firmly push the cable into the handle. The cable has a locking mechanism
that will firmly hold the cable in place. To detach the cable from the reader, pinch the plastic
on the 8-pin DIN and pull back to disengage the connector.
Reader & H2, BH1/BH2 Handle Assembly
The CR2 utilizes the battery compartment to ‘snap’ the reader to the H2, BH1 and BH2
handles. For the H2 (only), push the 8-pin DIN connector at the end of the reader into the
flexible connector at the end of the handle. For all three handles, snap the reader onto the
handle (Figure 5) matching the battery compartment of the reader to the battery connectors,
visible inside the handle (Figure 6). Newer readers (MFG # 012_05- see Figure 7) can be
secured further with threaded screws on the under side of the handle (Figure 8).

For additional stability, if using the H2
cabled handle, there is an optional cable
attachment clip that can secure the cable
to the handle with two threaded screws
(Figure 4).
Reader & HI Handle Assembly
Slide the CR2 into the handle, aligning the 8-pin DIN
connector to the stationary connector pin on the handle
(Figure 9). Push reader and handle together firmly until
you feel the reader ‘click’ in place.
The cable has a locking mecha-
nism that will firmly hold the cable
in place (Figure 2). To detach the
cable, pinch the plastic on the
8-pin DIN and pull back to
disengage the connector.
