in the

IMPORTANT! Print out this page to scan the barcode. Do not scan it onscreen.
After decoding the barcode and sending it to the computer, by default, the CHS
will beep once, the LED will flash green, and the laser will turn off. The CHS 7NRx
and 7P will also vibrate to indicate that the barcode is decoded. You can modify
the beep / LED / vibrate settings by using the Scanner Settings utility
or Command
Barcodes.
To configure an automatic Carriage Return or Tab after each scan of data, use the
Scanner Settings utility

If no data is read in a few seconds, the aiming beam will turn off, and you must try
again.
To Disconnect: Turn off the CHS. Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds,
until the CHS beeps twice (high-low) and the blue LED turns off.
Automatic Reconnection:
After you power on the CHS, it will automatically try to connect to the last computer it
paired and connected to. Make sure your computer is in range with Bluetooth enabled and
SocketScan 10 is running.
If the CHS is connected to your computer and gets disconnected, it will try to reconnect for
a few minutes. Make sure the computer is on and in range and SocketScan 10 is running. If
the CHS cannot reconnect, you will hear a long beep. Press the trigger button to restart the
reconnection process.
