2.1. Modo inalámbrico 2.4G
For wireless connection to a computer:
- Plug the 2.4GHz Wireless USB Dongle into an available USB port on your computer.
- Turn on the barcode scanner. It should automatically pair with the dongle. The indicator light will confirm connection.

For wireless connection to smartphones, tablets, or Bluetooth-enabled computers:
- Asegúrese de que el escáner esté encendido.
- Activate Bluetooth on your host device (phone, tablet, computer).
- Buscar available Bluetooth devices. The scanner should appear as "Symcode Barcode Scanner" or similar.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento
1. Escaneo de códigos de barras
Para escanear un código de barras:
- Point the scan window of the scanner at the barcode.
- Presione el interruptor de escaneo. Aparecerá una línea láser roja.
- Ensure the laser line crosses the entire barcode. A successful scan will be indicated by a beep and/or a change in the indicator light.
Nota: This is a 1D barcode scanner. It cannot read 2D barcodes (like QR codes, PDF417) or barcodes from device screens. It may also struggle with barcodes on silver foil paper that reflects light.
2. Almacenamiento sin conexión
The scanner features a built-in 16MB high-capacity memory, capable of storing over 50,000 1D barcodes in offline storage mode. This allows you to collect data without being constantly connected to a host device. Once connected, you can upload the stored data.
Connectivity and Range
The scanner offers impressive range for both wireless modes:
- Modo inalámbrico 2.4G: Delivers up to 200 meters (656 feet) transmission in open air.
- Modo Bluetooth: Provides up to 30 meters (98 feet) transmission in open air.
Mantenimiento
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Symcode barcode scanner, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Limpieza: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner's exterior. For the scan window, use a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cuidado de la batería: Store the scanner in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- Almacenamiento: Mantenga el escáner alejado de temperaturas extremas, luz solar directa y humedad alta.
- Manejo: While designed to be durable, avoid dropping the scanner or subjecting it to severe impacts.
