With the Mobile Socket Scanner CHS 7Ci you can scan barcodes both for selling products and for storing them in the system.
This article covers connecting to an iOS device (iPad or iPhone), Android device (e.g. Samsung), a Mac or a Windows PC.
Turning on:
Hold down the small on/off button until the LED lights up blue and the CHS emits a signal tone twice (low-high).
Important:
The device can only be connected to one device at a time via Bluetooth. Make sure that if you want to switch devices, you always stop the Bluetooth connection on the previous device. This applies in general to all Bluetooth devices and not just for this device configuration.
Note:
The Belbo software only supports HID mode. Please make sure that your barcode scanner is set to HID mode so that data can be transmitted correctly.
How to check and change the mode:
- Consult your scanner's user manual to enable HID mode.

- Test the input in a text editor to ensure that HID mode is active.
