Quick Reference Guide 3 Introduction The P470/370 cordless RF scanners bring new flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in both industrial and retail operations. The scanner communicates with your host computer through radio transmission instead of through a cable. With the RF scanner, you are free to scan and transmit without a physical cable, from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters) even without a direct line of sight. This lets you take the scanner to where the work is, whether on the loading dock, the plant floor, the warehouse, or the POS checkout area. There are several versions available: - P470: cordless retail scanner. - P370: cordless industrial scanner. - P370 ALR: cordless industrial ALR scanner. This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of the Phaser P370/P470 RF scanners.
