A 2D scan engine for reading QR code is also available under request. Another option is the RFID reader. It is used to decode an electronic tag. It can come with the laser scan engine or the 2D scan engine or install alone.However, only one scan engine can be installed.Press Scan A on the left side or Scan B on the right side of the Handheld to invoke the scan engine. When the red beam (laser scan engine) or the square light (2D scan engine) is emitted from the scan window, aim it at the bar code/QR code and the information contained in the code will be captured.The use of the RFID reader is even more convenient. Just put the electronic tag beneath the RFID inductive zone and the decode program will automatically capture the information in the tag.CAUTIONS：1. Dust on the scan window may impair the scan performance. Use a soft cloth not the finger to wipe it regularly.2. the scan angle and distance may affect the scan performance. Try to adjust the angle and distance when the scan result is not desirable.3. Request for a DLL tool if an APP is to launch the scan engine or the RFID reader. CAUTIONS：1. The touch of the metal plate of the SIM card may cause data loss and damage;2. Put the SIM card far away from magnetism and electricity.3. As a professional data collecting equipment, the Handheld transfers data instead of voice via the CDMA/GSM network. It provides no voice input parts such as microphone.Technical ParametersHardware test: this icon provides not a phone call dial but a test service entry.
