5 | ACTIVEPAIRING
ActivePairing technology makes it easy to connect the Bluetooth
CRS to a host computer. With ActivePairing, the Bluetooth CRS
initiates the connection process instead of the mobile device.
ActivePairing works in either of two ways:
1. Scan special connection bar codes to pair/unpair with the mobile
device. This is the ideal method if you plan to use the Bluetooth
CRS with different mobile devices and want to quickly connect.
You will need a printer and either bar code software or access to
a bar code generating website.
2. Create a “permanent pair” with a mobile device. After you
configure the permanent pair, whenever you turn on the
Bluetooth CRS, it will automatically try to connect to the
designated mobile device. This method is ideal if you only plan to
use the CRS with one particular mobile device.
IMPORTANT! CHECK YOUR HARDWARE VERSION TO SEE IF IT IS
COMPATIBLE WITH ACTIVEPAIRING.

About Bluetooth Range
The Bluetooth Cordless Ring Scanner features a powerful Class 1
Bluetooth radio to provide the maximum possible range. As with all
wireless technologies, the connection range can vary widely
depending on many factors such as the class and placement of the
Bluetooth radio in the host device, the type and size of physical
obstacles and the presence and activity level of competing radio
transmissions.
In range testing of the Bluetooth CRS while connected to a variety of
typical host devices with Class 2 radios, functional connection
distances from 18 to over 100 feet have been experienced
depending on the environment. The following conditions appear to
reduce the Bluetooth connection range:
• The presence of soft, absorbent materials such as paper,
fiberglass insulation, foam material in office cubical walls,
carpeting and, to a lesser extent, even sheetrock and wood
construction materials.
• Human bodies or containers of liquid positioned between the host
and the Bluetooth CRS.
• The presence and activity level of competing Bluetooth or 802.11
(Wi-Fi) systems using the same 2.4 GHz frequency.
• Metal in a grid pattern, such as chain link fencing or chicken wire.
This type of material may block the Bluetooth (or Wi-Fi) signal
completely.
APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS
67
APPENDIX B
SCANNING, SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS
Scanning Tips
Practice to determine the best scanning angle and distance for your
type of bar code.
Scan Angle
For best results, position the scanner at an angle to the bar code, at
least 15° from perpendicular. Otherwise, light can bounce back into
the scanner and “blind” the sensing mechanism.
68
Aiming Beam
Aim the laser so that the red beam covers the entire width of the bar
code.
Scanning Distance
• The optimal scanning distance varies depending on the bar code
size, symbology, label media, W-N Ratio, and scan angle. In
general, the Bluetooth CRS 9M can successfully scan 1.5 to 20
inches (3.8 to 51 cm) from the bar code, and the Bluetooth CRS
9P can successfully scan 1.5 to 45+ inches (3.8 to 144 cm) from
the barcode.
•
The larger the barcode, the further away you should position the
scanner.
The thinner the bars of the barcode (more dense), the closer you
should position the scanner.
About Bluetooth and Health
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to use short-range radio
signals to connect a variety of devices, such as bar code scanners,
mobile phones, Pocket PCs, notebook computers, printers, LAN
access points, and many other devices at home or work. These radio
signals replace the cables that have traditionally connected these
devices.
Bluetooth products have small radio transmitters and receivers.
Output power is normally very low, only 1 mW (1/1000 of a watt).
This gives a working range of approximately 10 meters.
The maximum exposure levels from Bluetooth products are far below
recommended safety guidelines. At most, typical Bluetooth devices
(1mW) reach only one percent of the prescribed safety levels.
APPENDIX B: SAFETY AND USAGE TIPS
69
Product Care
• Do not expose the Bluetooth CRS to liquid, moisture or extreme
humidity.
• Do not expose the Bluetooth CRS to extreme high or low
temperatures.
• Do not expose the Bluetooth CRS to lit candles, cigarettes, or
cigars, or to open flames, etc.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend the Bluetooth CRS, as rough
treatment could damage it.
• Do not paint the Bluetooth CRS, as the paint could obstruct parts
and prevent normal use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the Bluetooth CRS t: a broken
warranty seal will void the warranty. The Bluetooth CRS does not
contain consumer serviceable components. Should your
Bluetooth CRS need service, contact Socket technical support
(see Appendix H).
• Treat the CRS with care. Keep in a clean and dust-free place.
• Changes or modifications of the Bluetooth CRS, not expressly
approved by Socket, may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles,
(e.g., car stereo, safety equipment, etc.). Inquire the vehicle maker to
verify the Bluetooth CRS will not affect the vehicle’s electronics.
Aircraft
• Turn off your Bluetooth CRS before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communications systems, you must
not use your CRS while the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Your Bluetooth CRS contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
use, it communicates with a Bluetooth enabled computer by receiving and
transmitting radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields in the frequency range
2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is 0.001 Watt.
The Bluetooth CRS is designed to comply with the RF exposure limits set
by national authorities and international health agencies1 when installed or
used separately from other antennae or radio transmitters.
Examples of RF exposure standards and guidelines:
ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and
electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”, International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection, Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-533, 4/1998.
99/519/EC, EU Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general
public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz – 300 GHz, Official Journal of the European
Communities, 7/1999.
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, “Safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz”, The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 1991.

APPENDIX C
BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS
All bar code symbols/labels should satisfy the appropriate AIM
Uniform Symbology Specification.
Background Substrate:
The bar code symbol should be printed on material (media) that is
reflective and has a matte (not glossy) finish. A background diffuse
reflectance of at least 70% to 80% is desirable for optimum contrast.
Retro-reflective media should be used to obtain decode distances
greater than 36 inches.
Ink Color and Type:
The inked bars should not exceed 25% reflectance at the
wavelength that is being used for reading, whether printed with black
ink or colored ink. The reflectance value should not vary more than
5% within the same character.
Voids and Specks:
The code should be printed clearly, free of voids, specks, blemishes
and lines that could “fool” the scanner. Specks or blemishes in the
white spaces, or false or missing bar sections could be interpreted
by the reading equipment as part of the code. Generally, the width
of such flaws is more serious than the height. Code symbols/ labels
should be rejected if these defects are present.
Definition:
The bars in the bar code symbol should be well defined. Their
edges should not be rough or fuzzy, so that the bars and spaces
have the proper widths intended for the bar code symbology used.
Contrast:
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes are
printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to the ink
reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference between the two
should be at least 37.5% at the wavelength used for reading.
72 | APPENDIX C: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS
Tolerance:
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a bar code symbol must
conform to the appropriate AIM bar code specifications and can
cause problems if not correct throughout the bar code. Problems
can occur when bar edges are smeared or rough, or when they
exhibit voids.
APPENDIX C: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX D
ENABLING OR DISABLING SYMBOLOGIES
The Cordless Ring Scanner is pre-set to automatically detect and decode (autodiscriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or disable
symbologies, simply use the SocketScan Symbology Selector.
Notes:
• The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is used.
See Table 1.
•
With more symbologies enabled, the scanner must work harder to search through
all the possible combinations. This may make the decoding process slightly
longer.
•
The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified by
using the SocketScan Advanced Programming Guide or the SocketScan SDK.
Check the Socket Mobile website for updates.
