Scanning with the NeoReader™
application
Use your phone as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For
example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to
buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this
code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product information
or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard barcode types.

2 Find and tap

To scan a bar code

3 When the bar code is recognised, tap Continue to display the bar code
information, or tap Back to cancel the operation.
