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.
1. Ensure the battery is charged. 2. Make sure the bar code is in the correct scanning range. Aim and press the trigger. When the scanner has read the symbol: You hear a beep. The LED above the screen turns green.
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.
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.
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.
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.) be- tween the scanner and the base/charger’s cradle.

Battery Compartment Cover Battery Release Latch 2. Slide the battery towards the bottom of the scanner and then pull the bottom of the battery up and out of the scanner.
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.
