Introduction
The Phaser P370/P470 Keyless Radio Frequency (RF) scanners bring new
flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in both industrial
and retail operations. The scanners communicate with the host computer through
radio transmission instead of through a cable. The RF scanner can scan and
transmit without a physical cable from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters)
without a direct line of sight. This allows the scanner to be taken where the work
is, whether on the loading dock, the plant floor, the warehouse, or the POS
checkout area. There are several versions available:
-
P370: cordless industrial scanner.
-
P370 ALR: cordless industrial long range scanner.
-
P470: cordless retail scanner.
This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of
the Phaser P370/P470 Keyless RF scanners.
