Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Introduction The Phaser P 370/470 Radio Frequency (RF) scanner brings new flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in retail operations. The RF scanner has an integrated keypad and display, communicates with a base station and is battery-powered. This provides advanced point-of-sale scanning and also allows the scanner to be used for other in-store tasks such as delivery, inventory, pricing, and even gift registry.
P 3 7 0 / 4 7 0 S c a n n e r A full charge takes up to 4 hours, you may need less time depending upon the remaining charge in the battery. The LED light on the bottom of the cradle becomes solid to alert you when the battery has been recharged. Scanning with the Phaser For POS operation, the scanner ships with a default application that is ready-to-use right out of the box. Otherwise, consult the Phaser Series Scanner Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-33495-xx) for programming instructions.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Keyboard Entry Instead of scanning a bar code, you can enter the bar code’s data using the keypad on the top of the scanner. To enter numeric characters, press the number key on the keypad. To enter alpha characters, press the Mode key once to put the scanner in Alpha Mode. Press the numeric key with the letter you want above it - once for the first letter, quickly twice for the second letter, or quickly three times for the third letter.
P 3 7 0 / 4 7 0 S c a n n e r Aiming Hold at an angle Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”. You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Scan the entire symbol • • • The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol (as in the left bar code below). The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. Right Wrong Pair Scanner with Base/Charger The wireless “connection” between the scanner and base/charger is the low power radio transmission through RF transceivers in the both the scanner and base/charger.
P • • 3 7 0 / 4 7 0 S c a n n e r scan data until this linking is complete. At that time, through the scanner’s contact shoe, there is an exchange of information (addressing, RF channels, etc.) between the scanner and the base/charger’s cradle. This occurs in less than a second. After the exchange is complete, the scanner and base/charger are paired. Successful pairing is indicated by as warble beep; failure, or unsuccessful link, is indicated by a Lo Lo Lo Lo beep.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Recharging the Battery When necessary, recharge the batteries. To do so with the base/ charger: • • • Connect the power supply to the power input port on the front panel of the base/charger, as illustrated below. Connect the power supply to a receptacle supplying AC power of the proper voltage level. Then place the scanner into the base/charger cradle, so that the nose of the scanner and tip of the handle fit snugly into the receptacles.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Troubleshooting If the scanner does not work after you’ve followed these operating instructions: • • • • • • • • • • • • Check the system power. Check that scanning is enabled. Check that the battery is installed correctly. Check for loose cable connections. Be sure the Phaser is programmed to read the type of bar code you are trying to scan. Check to be sure the symbol is not defaced. Check that the correct power supply is attached to the base/ charger.
P Note: 3 7 0 / 4 7 0 S c a n n e r If after performing these checks the symbol still does not scan, contact your distributor or call the Symbol Support Center. Cleaning Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material, such as eyeglasses. Caution: Do not pour, spray or spill any liquid on the scanner.
