Perfect for solving retail and supply-chain management applications, this omnidirectional scanner combines the freedom of Bluetooth V1.2 mobility with many qualities already found in the popular Focus MS1690. Regardless of orientation, FocusBT’s FirstFlash technology decodes all standard bar codes in a single flash, including 1D, 2D, GSI DataBarTM, PDF417, microPDF, EAN/UCC Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes. FocusBT features Metrologic’s patented Code- Gate® and RangeGate® technology. CodeGate technology zeros in on the required code and then completes data transmission with the push of a button. With RangeGate, FocusBT scans and stores hundreds of bar codes when outside host system communication range. When the connection is re-established, the stored scans are automatically downloaded to the host. For image-capture applications, FocusBT combines a high-resolution CMOS sensor with a powerful processor which enables a wide array of outputs. In addition to automatic infrared object detection, FocusBT comes equipped with several power-save modes, a USB Bluetooth dongle and two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Each battery provides 12 hours of scanning or approximately 9,000 scans per charge
