WaveMark SmartWand SW1500 RFID/Barcode Reader
The WaveMark SmartWand SW1500 Portable RFID/Barcode Reader Kit comprises the following
components:
1. WaveMark SmartWand (WaveMark 01-0029-R)
2. Power Supply/charger (WaveMark 90-0094-R)
3. International Plug kit for Power Supply (WaveMark 90-0095-R)
4. Tether strap (WaveMark 90-0096-R)
5. Software (please see your WaveMark representative for appropriate software applications)
The WaveMark SmartWand is a battery-operated RFID/Barcode reader and is equipped with a
rechargeable battery pack that is capable of running the reader for one 8-hour shift (50% RFID
duty-cycle) on a full charge. The battery pack is based upon Lithium Ion cells, nominally 7.4VDC.
The SmartWand battery pack is shipped to the customer pre-installed in the WaveMark
SmartWand and is partially charged when shipped.
The WaveMark SmartWand has a power slide switch on the back.

When the switch is in the left position, the WaveMark SmartWand is off. Slide the switch to the
right to turn it on. A green or orange power light on the control panel will light if the device is on:
Steady Green power light: WaveMark SmartWand is charged to over 50%.
Steady Orange power light: WaveMark SmartWand is charged to between 20% and 50%.
Flashing Orange power light: WaveMark SmartWand is operating on low charge (less than
20%).
The control panel has 3 other lights:
Bluetooth® blue light (solid blue when device is paired to a host, brief flash when
communication to host is in process).
Yellow RFID light (solid yellow when RFID reader function is operational and seeking RFID
tags, brief flash when RFID tags are read).

Yellow Barcode light (solid yellow when Barcode function is operational; in this state, the
Barcode button can be used to read a Barcode. When the yellow light is not lit, this button
performs no function).
Use only the charger that is supplied with the WaveMark SmartWand (WaveMark part number 90-
0094-R charger and 90-0095-R international plug kit). Select the plug that is appropriate for the
electrical receptacles in your area.
The WaveMark SmartWand should be charged with the power slide switch in the off (left) position.
When charging, the power light will be flashing green. When fully charged, the power light will be
solid green. Do not use the WaveMark SmartWand to read RFID tags or Barcodes while it is
charging. A full charge will take approximately 6 hours, but shorter charging cycles will provide a
partial charge. It is OK to leave the charger connected to the WaveMark SmartWand for extended
periods of time, as long as the power switch is “off”. The charger is a multi-stage “smart” charger
designed to sense the condition of the battery and provide protection against over- and under-
charging.

The WaveMark SmartWand has a USB-mini-B port adjacent to the charging port. This USB port is
not currently supported for any user accessible purpose. It also will not successfully charge the
battery in the WaveMark SmartWand. Do not plug a USB cable into this port.
When you are ready to use the WaveMark SmartWand to read RFID tags or Barcodes, disconnect
the charger, slide the power switch to the “on” position, and follow the instructions of the Host
software application that you are using.
The SmartWand battery pack is customer replaceable. This should only be necessary after
approximately 300 charging cycles when the operating time is no longer sufficient. Use only
battery packs that are supplied by WaveMark (part number 04-0098-R). Replacement instructions
are supplied with the purchase of a spare battery.
