Quick Reference Guide 3

Introduction

The P470/370 cordless RF scanners bring new flexibility and economy to data

capture and data management in both industrial and retail operations. The

scanner communicates with your host computer through radio transmission

instead of through a cable. With the RF scanner, you are free to scan and transmit

without a physical cable, from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters) even without

a direct line of sight. This lets you take the scanner to where the work is, whether

on the loading dock, the plant floor, the warehouse, or the POS checkout area.

There are several versions available:

-P470: cordless retail scanner.

-P370: cordless industrial scanner.

-P370 ALR: cordless industrial ALR scanner.

This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of

the Phaser P370/P470 RF scanners.

Refer to PL 370/470 RF Cradle Quick Reference Guide (p/n 72-38494-xx) for

information on setting up the PL 370/470 RF cradle.

To quickly get you started with your new scanner:

1. Charge the scanner in the cradle.

2. Power up the scanner.

3. Follow the Quick Startup Instructions (see page 6).

4. Use the test bar codes to ensure the scanner is working properly (see page 7).

Charging the Scanner in the Cradle

Powering Up the Scanner

To turn the scanner on, press the “Enter” key or pull the trigger. The scanner is

brought out of sleep mode and into scanning mode.

Charge Status

Indicator Light

To charge the scanner, insert the scanner into

the cradle so the nose of the scanner and tip of

the handle seat into the receptacles. The

scanner displays “UNIT CRADLED” when

properly inserted in the cradle.

The battery charges automatically. A full charge

of a depleted battery takes approximately 3-1/2

hours. The charge status indicator light on the

back of the cradle blinks then becomes solid

when the battery is fully charged.

Scanning

Consult the P470/P370 RF Scanners Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-38495-xx)

for programming instructions. If you need assistance, contact your local supplier

or the Symbol Support Center.

To scan:

1. Ensure the battery is charged.

2. Ensure the bar code is in the correct scanning range.

3. Aim and press the trigger. When the scanner has read the symbol:

-a beep sounds.

-the LED above the display turns green.

-the red laser turns off.

Aiming

Hold at an Angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly

back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. Specular

reflection can make decoding difficult.

The scanner can tilt up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.

Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Scan the Entire Symbol

-The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol (as in the

left bar code below).

-Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

-Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Changing the Battery

When a battery is fully charged, it generally lasts up to 10 hours without being

returned to the cradle. By returning it to the cradle during the day, this time is

extended.

If a significant decrease in battery life is noticed and does not correspond to

increased usage, consider replacing the battery.

Removing the Battery

1. Slide the battery release latch down using center indent and remove the

battery compartment cover.

2. Slide the battery toward the bottom of the scanner and then pull the bottom of

the battery back and out of the scanner.

Replacing the Battery

1. Place the top portion of the battery (curved side up, contacts toward top) into

the scanner and then slide it up the handle.

2. Replace the battery compartment cover.

3. Slide the release latch up to secure the cover in place.

Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices

Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres

You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices

in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders) and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Safety in Hospitals

Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical

electrical equipment.

Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in

hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent

possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be

maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid

potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are

consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless

Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:

-Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker

when turned ON.

-Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.

-Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your

device

Hearing Aids

The wireless device may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of

interference you may want to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss

solutions.

Other Medical Devices

Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to

determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical

device.
