Socket CHS 7E Quick Start Manual

IMPORTANT! These instructions on the back of this sheet are
for connecting the CHS to a device using Bluetooth Serial Port
Profile (SPP).
• Always use SPP for BlackBerry, Palm and CE.NET devices.
Download SocketScan software for your OS at:
http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads
• Other devices: Use SPP if you want to use SocketScan
software, ActivePairing and/or you need to parse data.
• Use Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) instead of SPP
if you are pairing to Apple devices, do not want to install
software, and/or want to use vibrate mode for the 7P/7NRx.
Hardware Preparation
Insert the Batteries: Unlock the battery cover
by using a screwdriver or coin to turn the lock
under the CHS to a horizontal position. Remove
the cover. Install the batteries as indicated by
the +/- symbols. Replace the battery cover and
turn the lock to a vertical position.
Do not use alkaline batteries, which may
damage the device.
Assemble the AC Adapter:
Choose the plug for your region and slide it into
the adapter.
Charge: The CHS must be fully charged before
first use, which takes about 3.5 hours.
Red LED = Charging Green LED = Fully charged
Attach the Tether: After removing the battery
cover, wrap the string loop of the tether around
the inside part of the lock. Replace the battery
cover. If desired, attach the tether to a lanyard
or belt.
Built-in Touch Screen Stylus: Use on Pocket
PC / other device touch screens (not compatible
with Active Matrix tablet displays).
Do not use a damaged stylus, as it may scratch
the screen.
