Chapter 1 – Getting Started The flexpoint™ HS2R9 from JADAK™ is a wireless Bluetooth BLE handheld scanner capable of decoding all major 1d and 2d barcode varieties as well as reading a broad variety of HF RFID tags. The HS2R9 consists of a highly configurable area imaging camera, decoding engine, and an HF RFID transceiver that will communicate via a Bluetooth BLE 4.1 interface.
HS2R9 Imager Identification On the bottom of your scanner you will see a label as shown below: Configuration String: The configuration string defines the configuration style of the HS2R9 unit. Please consult the factory for configuration information. Revision String: The revision string indicates the revision number of the product.
About the Battery Power is supplied to the HS2R9 imager by a rechargeable battery located in the body of the imager. Each HS2R9 imager is shipped with a Lithium Ion battery already installed. See “HS2R9 Product Specifications” on page 8-1. Charging Information The HS2R9 imager is designed to recharge the battery whenever the imager is in the base.
Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send the imager’s battery to JADAK (postage pre-paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries.
Connecting the Base The base can be plugged into a computer’s USB port. When the base is connected, place the HS2R9 imager into the base to charge the battery. The imager’s indicator LEDs flash, alternating between the green and red LED, to indicate the battery is charging. If only the red LED is flashing, this indicates the unit is charging but the voltage/charge is too low to allow operation (presentation mode) and charging simultaneously.
Reading Techniques The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Chapter 2 – Basic System Operation Base The USB-connected base provides the link between the HS2R9 and the host system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF communication module. The interface assembly performs the data exchange between the HS2R9 and the host system.
System Conditions The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate an HS2R9 to a base, as you move an HS2R9 out of range, bring an HS2R9 back in range, or swap HS2R9s between two bases. The following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Once you move back into range, you may again attempt to re-associate the HS2R9 with the base by scanning a bar code. If the device is still unsuccessful in communicating with the base, you will need to place the HS2R9 in its base momentarily and scan the Association code in order to re-link them.

If the base was powered scan the association barcode in the well of the base between the Bluetooth disassociation switch and the charging contact pins. The HS2R9 should then emit a clicking should for a short period while associating with the Bluetooth module in the base. Upon a successful Bluetooth association the HS2R9 will flash the green LED and emit a single short high frequency beep.

Chapter 9 – Maintenance The HS2R9 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable product operation: Cleaning the Scanning Window Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution).

Intentional Radiator Modular Certification of the HS2R9 The HS2R9 also contains intentional radiators, the RFID transceiver and Bluetooth Low Energy communications. JADAK’s approach to agency testing and certification for this was to get modular certification to facilitate easier integration of the device into end user systems. In most circumstances the integrator will not need to re-certify the intentional radiator, rather they can reference JADAK’s certifications...

The unit can read both RFID and barcode, but not simultaneously. If the unit is not triggered to read barcodes (top trigger button is not pressed or not serially triggered), the unit will be in RFID mode actively scanning for RFID tags. When the unit is triggered to read a barcode (top trigger button is pressed or serially triggered), the RFID transceiver will be put into low power mode before enabling the barcode scanner.

3 – Microcontroller (Freescale Kinetis, MKL25Z128VLH4). 4 – Bluetooth Module (Microchip, RN4020-V/RM). 1 – The Barcode scanner consists of two major components, the imager engine and the decoder board. The imager engine contains a CMOS imaging sensor and separate external illumination. The decoder board contains a microprocessor with external RAM and FLASH used to capture and process images from the image engine.
