Socket Cordless Bluetooth Hand Barcode Scanner 7M (CX2800-489) (SOCKET BARCODE 7M)

Socket Cordless Bluetooth Hand Barcode Scanner 7M (CX2800-489) (SOCKET BARCODE 7M)

If you need to collect bar coded data but don't want to be tied to your mobile or desktop computer, Socket's Cordless Hand Scanner with Bluetooth wireless technology is just what you're looking for.

Please note: a 20 Pack version for bulk orders is available.

The Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) 7M will enable you to collect bar coded data without being tied to your mobile or desktop computer! This innovative device combines the power of laser bar code scanning with fuzzy logic and the convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology in a single compact, lightweight device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each other, offering you new possibilities for using your mobile computer with other devices without the hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna. Socket's CHS 7M features a powerful Class 1 Bluetooth radio, so you can stay connected to your laptop or desktop at the maximum possible range — even when connected to the weaker Class 2 Bluetooth radios found in many mobile devices.

Bar code scanning is the most efficient way to enter data into a computer. If the data to be entered is bar coded, using a laser scanner is 50 times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry. The CHS 7M complies with the UCC 2005 Sunrise Date mandate.

Mobility Friendly™ Design
The CHS 7M with Bluetooth wireless technology uses minimal power, so you can operate for hours without having to recharge batteries. The CHS 7M includes SocketScan™ software which directs scanned data into any Windows, Palm or Symbian application as if it were manually typed. Plus, Socket's renowned Bluetooth technology makes it easy to establish and maintain a reliable connection between the CHS and host computer.
