Page 20: Bluetooth Radio Operation
The easiest way to connect to a Bluetooth device is to visit the Code website and create a QuickConnect Code that is specifi c to your device (Figure 1.21). This code will link your CR3500 directly to the desired Bluetooth device. To create a QuickConnect Code, you will need to know the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the BD_ADDR) of that device. - Page 21 Radio Range and Transferring Data The CR3500 radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device the reader has roughly a 100 meter (300 feet) line of sight operating range. If connecting to a Class 2 or Class 3 device, the operating range may drop to match the lower range.

LED must be more centered in the symbol being read. Conversely, as the targeting tolerance gets larger there is less precision needed with the green LED. If there is more than one decodable code in the fi eld of the, the symbol closest to the targeting green LED will be decoded. -
Page 56: Windowing
By reducing the vertical window value of the imager to 200 pixels, 1-D codes are processed more quickly. Because only a horizontal strip of a 1-D code is needed to be decoded, using a narrow strip of the imager is all that is needed. The area above and below the 200 pixels, which is always in the center of the imager, is ignored. -
