Pairing your barcode scanner

Your device must be Bluetooth compatible to pair with the Socket Mobile scanner.

1. Press and hold the power button until the Bluetooth LED turns blue and the scanner beeps twice. Your barcode scanner is now powered on.

   

2. Ensure your scanner is set to the right mode:
   • For use with your Windows PC, you'll need to ensure the scanner is set to Keyboard Mode. To enable Keyboard Mode, scan the following barcode

     

   • For use with your Mac, you'll need to ensure the scanner is set to Keyboard Mode. To enable Keyboard Mode, scan the following barcode

     

   • By default, your barcode scanner is set to Basic Mode. To use your barcode scanner and keyboard at the same time in the Retail POS app, you need to set the scanner to Application Mode. To do so, scan the following barcode. The scanner will beep three times to indicate that it has changed modes.

     

     If scanning the barcode from your screen doesn't work, you can also print and scan the barcode. If you do print the barcode, confirm that it doesn't stretch during the printing process, as this will make it unscannable. The barcode is also listed in Socket Mobile's User Guide.
