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 compact, lightweight
device that is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably on your hand.
Bluetooth wireless technology transforms how devices connect with each
other, offering new possibilities for using a mobile computer with other
devices. With the CRS, you can scan bar codes while connected to a PDA in
your pocket or a Windows XP system located up to 300 feet away — all
without the hassle of cables or the awkwardness of a protruding antenna.
The CRS was designed with an exclusive Liquidmetal
®
construction that is
twice as strong as titanium, extremely durable and scratch-resistant. The
Battery Friendly
®
CRS uses minimal power, so you can scan over 11,000
times in normal operating conditions without having to recharge.
