Scanner not pairing 

If the scanner isn’t paring, take a look below at the options you can try. 

Has the scanner charged or been powered on? 

  • Check that the charger has a red light to show that it’s connected properly to a power supply. 
  • Press and hold the trigger to turn on the scanner. If the scanner light is flashing, follow the steps to pair your computer with it.  

Computer Bluetooth settings

Check that your computer’s Bluetooth settings are on and discoverable. See Windows instructions and Mac instructions. 

Scanner not working

Check that the USB cable is connected to a power source with enough power to change the scanner. 

If the blue light is flashing (instead of solid) it means the scanner is not paired with your computer. 

The scanner is paired, but data isn’t uploading

If the paired scanner isn’t reading barcodes, perform a factory reset. Please see the Factory reset steps above.

The scanner & charger aren’t charging

Check for any dirt or debris interfering with the contact points between the charging cable and the scanner.
