Code Reader 2300 Quick Start Manual

Establishing a Bluetooth® Connection
1. If establishing a Bluetooth connection using the Charging Station with embedded CodeXML®
Modem, slide the Communication Mode Switch on the bottom of the Charger/Modem
Station to Bluetooth mode (the direction of the arrow). For USB communication mode
information, please reference the CR2300 User Manual located at www.codecorp.com.
2. Scan the QuickConnect Code located on the front of the Charger/Modem Station or on the
external CodeXML® M3 Modem. (Figures 13 and 14).
3. The wireless icon located at the top of the reader will flash as it attempts to make connection.
(Figure 15) The blue LED on the Charging Station (or CodeXML® M3 Modem) will also flash as
it attempts to connect and will turn solid when the connection is established. The CR2300 will
beep once and the wireless icon will flash every 10 seconds. (Figures 13, 14 and 15)
For additional CodeXML® M3 Modem information, please reference the CodeXML® M3 Modem
QuickStart Guide.

Important Note If Using a non-Code Bluetooth Device:
To connect to a Bluetooth device not manufactured by Code, you will need the Bluetooth address
(often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. The 12-character Bluetooth address can be
found on the device near the serial number. Then visit Code's web site at:
http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php and enter the 12-character address to create the
QuickConnect Code.
You will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port
protocol before installing the Bluetooth Configuration Manager software that is included with your
Bluetooth adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port through which the CR2300 will connect.

Batch Mode

When the CR2300 is in batch mode, the storage icon (Figure 15) will remain solid to indicate data
has been stored. The storage icon will flash every 10 seconds to indicate data is stored when in
sleep mode.
If the storage memory is full, the storage icon will flash 5 times every second. Data will need to be
downloaded or deleted to free up memory space. Note, the storage icon will not flash if there is
no data stored.
To put the CR2300 into Batch Mode, please reference the CR2300 Configuration Guide located at
www.codecorp.com.
