trigger, the scanning beam is energized.

Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the proper scanning range.
(See Decode Zones beginning on page 3-6.)
Aim and press the trigger.
•The scan beam and red SCAN LED will light for about 3 seconds, or until
a successful decode.
The scanner has read the symbol when:

if you release the trigger. The scanner powers down after a successful decode.
