Place the object to be scanned on a flat surface, by itself. This will prevent other items from being accidentally scanned.
Press and hold down the Scan button to start the barcode scanner. A visible red beam will be emitted from the monitor. Slowly move this beam over the barcode on the item to be scanned. When the monitor accepts the barcode, it will beep in acknowledgement. Without releasing the Scan button, look down at the monitor. The operator can view the data that was scanned by the monitor. Release the Scan button to stop the scan and continue with the next step.
CAUTION: Never look into the barcode scanner beam or point it toward anyone’s eyes. The beam could cause permanent damage to the eye.

Data Port
The Data Port is located at the bottom of the monitor. This port enables the monitor to automatically transfer the data through a cable connector to a PC, laptop, Laboratory Information System (LIS), or Hospital Information System (HIS).
Battery Compartment
The monitor holds two AA alkaline batteries to power the monitor. A rechargeable battery pack is also available from MediSense. The rechargeable battery pack can recharge itself while the monitor is in the optional docking station. To prolong the battery life of the monitor, the monitor should be turned off when not in use. If the monitor is left on and has not been used for 4 minutes, it will automatically shut itself off.
