1 | Introduction
If you need to collect bar coded data but don't want to be tied to your mobile or
desktop computer, the Socket Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS) Series 9 with
Bluetooth wireless technology is just what you're looking for. This innovative
device combines the power of laser bar code scanning with the convenience of
Bluetooth wireless technology in a single compact, lightweight device that is
ergonomically designed to fit comfortably on your hand.
Bar code scanning is the most efficient way
to collect data for a mobile 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.
Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each
other, offering you new possibilities for using your mobile computer with
other devices. With the Socket CRS, you can scan bar codes while connected
to the PDA in your pocket or located up to 300 feet away — all without the
hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna.
The Battery Friendly
®
CRS was designed to use minimal power, so you can
use the CRS to scan 10,000 times in 8 hours in normal operating conditions
ithout having to stop and recharge.

About the Software
SocketScan™ enters scanned data directly into any open
Windows program, as if the data were manually typed. You
can configure Prefix/Suffixes and assign a beep tone to
signify good data reads at the host.
The Socket Cordless Scanner utility makes it easy to
configure SocketScan for use with the Cordless Ring
Scanner. Simply identify which kind of Bluetooth hardware
you will be using on your mobile computer, and SocketScan
will automatically search for it when you try to connect.
Connect!Agent for Windows Mobile (patent pending) simplifies the Bluetooth
setup and connection process. Once the CRS is turned on and SocketScan is
running, Connect!Agent will automatically discover and set up the Bluetooth
connection and continue to manage the connection. Connect!Agent runs in the
background and requires no interaction from the user.
