User Manual for Honeywell Voyager 1602g Wireless Area-Imaging Pocket Scanner

Quick guide from the manual

The Honeywell Voyager 1602g is a wireless area-imaging pocket scanner. Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged for at least 4 hours. The scanner can be charged via a power supply or a PC USB port. To begin scanning, pair the device with your host (PC, laptop, tablet, or Apple device) using the appropriate Bluetooth connection barcode found in the manual. For advanced configuration, use the programming barcodes provided in the guide.

Getting started

Upon unpacking, check for shipping damage and ensure all items match your order. The scanner's battery must be fully charged before initial use. Charging can be done using a power supply or by connecting the mini-USB cable to a computer. Note that charging via a PC USB port will take longer than using an electrical outlet.

Pairing with Bluetooth devices

The scanner supports pairing with various Bluetooth-enabled devices. Scan the appropriate 'Bluetooth Connect' barcode to establish one-way communication. Set your host device to search for Bluetooth devices and select the scanner name. If the device does not pair automatically, a PIN may be displayed; scan the 'Bluetooth PIN Code' barcode, followed by the numeric barcodes for the PIN, and finally the 'Save' barcode.

Programming the interface

The scanner is factory-programmed for common settings. If you need to change the keyboard layout or interface (e.g., USB Keyboard, Keyboard Wedge, RS232), scan the corresponding programming barcodes. If using an Access Point, specific interface barcodes are provided to set up the connection correctly.

Wireless system operation

The scanner uses adaptive frequency hopping Bluetooth radio. If the scanner goes out of range, it can be configured to automatically attempt to relink. Batch mode allows the scanner to store barcode data when out of range, which can then be transmitted when the scanner is back in range. You can configure batch mode settings, such as storage type (Flash or RAM) and output order.

Input/Output settings

The programmable button on the scanner can be configured to perform various actions, such as toggling a virtual keyboard, displaying battery charge status, or entering flashlight mode. You can also customize beeper and LED indicators for good reads and errors.

Data editing and formatting

You can build custom message strings by adding prefixes and suffixes to scanned data. The Data Format Editor allows you to insert, replace, or discard characters in the output string. These settings are useful for tailoring the scanner's output to specific application requirements.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Keep the scanner window clean using a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents or abrasive materials. If the battery needs replacement, remove the back cover with a Phillips screwdriver, replace the battery, and secure the cover. If you encounter issues, ensure the battery is charged, check that the symbology is enabled, and verify the scanner is properly paired with the host.
