SocketScan must be licensed updates are not available from Socket s download site About Combining Scanning with Bluetooth The Cordless Hand Scanner represents an optimal combination of proven laser bar code scanning technology and state of the art Bluetooth wireless connectivity Because of the problems inherent in the intermittent storage of scanned data in on board memory if the Bluetooth connection is lost the CHS is designed to operate only when connected to the host with the powerful Class 1 radio providing the maximum possible connection range The user is advised of the connection status with a single beep when the CHS connects to the host and a double beep when the connection is closed or lost As with any wireless device connectivity range can be affected by a variety of environmental variables The most likely source of errors in any cordless scanning system is not in the scanning and decoding process but in the transmission of the data to the host Using Socket s Error Proof Protocol patent pending the beeper and green LED signals provided by the CHS confirm not only a successful scan but also the successful transmission of the scanned data to the host Users familiar with bar code scanning may notice a slight delay between the successful scan and shut off of the laser and the beep and green LED from the CHS confirming completed transmission of the data In most instances this delay is less than 250 ms milliseconds
