INTRODUCTION MS9535 VoyagerBT® laser bar code scanner is a new member of Metrologic's Voyager series. Besides featuring the patented technologies of an automatic trigger and CodeGate, the VoyagerBT has incorporated the latest Bluetooth® wireless technology. This technology gives the customer the freedom of mobility, with scanning up to 10 meters from the cradle. VoyagerBT works hand in hand with its cradle. Before normal scanning, the scanner must establish communications with the cradle by scanning a Bluetooth address bar code. After communications have been established between the scanner and cradle, future bar code scans will be transmitted from the scanner to the cradle and from the cradle to the host. VoyagerBT scanners can also optionally communicate to other Bluetooth enabled devices. The cradle of the VoyagerBT also works as a battery charger for the scanner. When resting in the cradle, the scanner can reach a fully charged state in 2.5 hours. When fully charged, the scanner can provide up to 12,000 scans. For power saving, the scanner can be put into a full sleep mode by depressing the CodeGate button for 5 seconds after the laser has shut down. In this mode, the scanner can remain powered for up to 35 hours before the batteries require recharging. To wake-up the scanner, simply depress the CodeGate button, and the scanner will resume normal operation. VoyagerBT includes the ability to decode Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) bar codes. VoyagerBT offers checkout personnel the ability to scan bulky items without the need for unnecessary heavy lifting by customers or checkout personnel, making for added convenience. It can be used in applications including supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping clubs, retailers, light warehouse and manufacturing. 1
