SG300BT is a gun-type barcode scanner which is designed specifically for retail market. To the brand new series of SG300BT, we add on more user-friendly functions with detachable interface cable that makes it easier to be operated by the customers.
(d) The equipment can’t work well. (e) The equipment has any obvious damage, making the SG300BT working abnormally. 13. Don’t store the SG300BT at the temperature lower than -20°C (-4°F) or higher than +70°C (158°F) to avoid any damage.
1.2 FCC Warning This equipment complies with the requirements in Part 15 of FCC. Any operation must comply with the conditions below: (a) The equipment will not cause any severe interference. (b) The equipment can avoid any interference from environment. Statement: This product is classified as B class product.
LED indicator will light on after scan successfully. The programming of the SG300BT is very easy. You can setup the SG300BT by scan all necessary programming codes that meet applications. Thanks to the powerful decoding...
INSTALLATION OF THE SG300BT 3.1 SG300BT Unpacking Unpack the SG300BT as follows: 1. Take the SG300BT and its accessories out of the box. 2. Remove the packing material. 3. Check the packing list to make sure you have received all of the items ordered.
3.2 SG300BT Cradle Installation To setup your SG300BT scanner with Bluetooth technology, please follow the steps. 1. Connect the supplied communication cable at the bottom side of the cradle. 2. Connect the other side of the communication cable to the right connector of your POS or HOST system.
This address code is located on the bottom side of the cradle. The pairing of a SG300BT scanner to a cradle is one to one. Only one SG300BT scanner can be paired to a cradle at any point in time.
Page 15
SG300BT scanner can’t be paired with that cradle until the original connection is interrupted. If you pair a second SG300BT scanner to an in-use cradle, the cradle’s connection to the first SG300BT scanner will be interrupted and the connection will be re-established...
3.3.5 The SG300BT scanner enters sleep mode to save battery energy, when the SG300BT scanner is used for 1 minute or 10 minute time. During sleep mode all the functions and connection will be halted. After press the red trigger button the scanner will wake up and reconnect the communication with the cradle or Bluetooth device.
This batch mode is enabled when you have scanned “Batch Mode on”. The scanned data is stored in the memory of the SG300BT scanner instead of being transmitted. You can delete the last scanned bar code data by scanning “Delete Last Data”...
SG300BT scanner settings with programming labels. Changing Scanner Settings with 4.1.1 Programming Codes You can setup your SG300BT by scan all necessary programming codes that meet applications. In order to change the scanner settings please follow the sequence below: 1. Power up the scanner.
By scanning “Set All Default” label, the settings will go back to the factory default settings. Programming Flow Chart 4.1.2 Start Recall Set all Default Configuration Parameters Interface Selection Communication Parameters Bar codes Parameters Misc. Parameters etc. Abort Configuration Configuration Save Parameters...
4.2 Set All Default Parameter By scanning “Set All Default” label, the all parameters will go back to the factory default settings for scanner and cradle. After reading a valid programming code the scanner will give a three high beep and the Green LED indicator will light on.

<Fast> Slow Same Code Delay Reading Interval 4.6.6 Following code sequences represent the length of time before a barcode can be rescanned at continuous and flash reading mode. The value can be defined from 1-50 and they represent 100ms to 5 seconds in 100ms interval. Default value is 3(0.3 second).
Data/Stop Bits 4.7.2 The number of data/stop bits transmitted for each character 7 Data Bits < 8 Data Bits > < 1 Stop Bits > 2 Stop Bits Parity 4.7.3 A Parity bit is an extra data bit used to check data transmission errors.
Handshaking 4.7.4 RTS/CTS ON – Output a Request to Send (RTS) signal and wait for a Clear to Send (CTS) signal before transmitting data <RTS/CTS OFF> ACK/NAK ON – After transmitting data, wait for host to send an ACK or a NAK response. If ACK is received, then complete the data transmission.
